starlight aria

Far away from home, her face showed confusion.

"I want to take you to a safe place, you don't have to be afraid anymore, I won't let anyone hurt you...I am your brother, I will protect you and take care of you for the rest of my life..."

Du Sichen said softly.

He would love her like a brother.

This will never change.

The first time Du Sichen saw Du Yunqian was in a scorching afternoon full of cicadas singing, the ground was steaming, and his vision seemed to be covered with a layer of mist that could not be dissipated. When the parents pushed the little girl in front of him, he thought It's just an illusion.

"From today onwards, she is your sister." The parents said so without explaining anything to him.

After that, he gradually pieced together the truth from his parents' words.Their old friend died accidentally in a car accident, so they took over the surviving orphan girl and the property they left behind.

The little girl changed her surname, and no one around her doubted her real identity. The Du family did not have many relatives and friends. Even though there were some voices of doubt and opposition, after several clarifications and warnings, no one asked about the little girl’s real identity. origin.

The only person who was worried about it was Du Sichen.

He did not like the little girl very much.

It's not that she is unattractive, on the contrary, she has big bright eyes, a straight nose, and small red lips. When she is awake, she always smiles slightly. If you show her a little favor, she will Stick to it and entangle people.Several times, Du Sichen just curled his lips at her, and she rushed forward as if receiving a hint, hugging his thigh and acting like a spoiled child.

Seeing her slobbering unceremoniously on his trousers, Du Sichen mercilessly tore her away and warned her sternly, "Don't do that next time!"

The little girl just chuckled, not paying attention to his expressionless gesture.

After getting used to the existence of this little girl, Du Sichen also gradually realized that his parents didn't have much affection for this adopted daughter.

They are willing to pay a lot of money to hire a nanny, but they are stingy about spending a little more time with her.They spend a lot of money to hold a birthday party for their son, showing off their future business heirs, but they don't even remember the most basic birthday for this little girl.

Du Yunqian's seventh birthday was spent in the silence of the room.Her parents were not at home, so she sat in the courtyard with the doll in her arms and thoughtfully.

Du Sichen, who was coming home from school, passed by her, but she didn't react at all, just staring at the afterglow in the sky.

Du Sichen, who wanted to go straight into the house, finally noticed something strange.

"Where did the doll come from?" He turned his head and fixed his eyes on the toy that the little girl was hugging tightly.

Du Sichen knew very well that the Du family would not buy such toys without practical functions for children.

"The nanny sent me."

"why?"

"Today is my birthday, and the nanny said it was a present for me."

The little girl blinked her eyes, as if she had experienced the meaning of the term birthday for the first time, and it was also the first time she felt that her family did not value her.

Looking at the little girl's big eyes that lost their luster, Du Sichen seemed to say something, but he didn't think it was necessary for him to shoulder the responsibility that even his parents were unwilling to shoulder.

"It's getting dark, go into the house!" He dropped these words and walked away.

Later, when there was only dinner for two, Du Yunqian was extremely silent. Du Sichen only glanced at her, and then turned his gaze back to the textbook on the table.

Du Sichen knew from an early age that his duty was to study hard and make every effort to become the ideal heir in the eyes of his parents.All his time is filled with various talent trainings, and he has to deal with endless homework even when he returns home.

In this almost tormented learning process, he has no time to play family games with a little girl.

He was sure of one thing, when the parents had done their duty and raised the little girl to adulthood, they would tell her the truth and abandon her without hesitation.

"Sichen, she is your younger sister. When we are not at home, you have to take good care of her."

Hearing his parents' instructions, Du Sichen couldn't help but sneer.

To Du Sichen, Du Yunqian was like a pet, and keeping her well fed was the best care.Tease her to have fun when she is free, and throw her aside when she is not free, and let her fend for herself.

Even so, Du Yunqian liked being around him more and more day by day.

After school time, she would greet him in the yard; when he was doing his homework, she would hide in the study and refused to leave, and would just come across a book and read it with him.Occasionally, when Du Sichen glanced at her, she would happily turn her head and call him brother.

Every time Du Sichen was halfway through his studies, he would find Du Yunqian sleeping on the floor of the study.Day after day, he picked up the little girl from the floor and sent her back to the room more and more skillfully.He would hold her soft body under his armpit, walk down the long aisle, throw her into the oversized bed, cover her with a quilt, and tell himself time and time again that he should not be an example.

It feels very awkward to be called brother, so Du Sichen never responds.He didn't feel that he had anything to do with the little girl.Even after living together for several years, he still can't feel the bond between them.

But accidents always come unprepared. When he knew that Du Yunqian had been kidnapped, and when he heard that his parents were unwilling to give up their business interests for Du Yunqian, Du Sichen couldn't sleep all night.

"The other party just wants that piece of land. It doesn't matter if you let it go to them. Human life is at stake." After thinking about it all night, Du Sichen suggested to his parents.

"They are just scaring us, nothing will really happen, don't worry." Parents and old gods are here.

"What if there is an accident?"

"Will not."

"She is your daughter!"

The only response his parents gave him was a long silence.

He thought of the innocent smiling face of the little girl, and the way she wobbled behind him every time. He never gave him any care, but she really regarded him as an elder brother.

Such a heartless innocence was involved in an ugly struggle of interests.

What made Du Sichen feel even more guilty was that he was the one who was going to be kidnapped by the gangsters. If he hadn't been late for school, and if the nanny hadn't happened to take Du Yunqian out, then he should have been the one who was used as a bargaining chip by the gangsters. This legitimate heir of the Du family.

Du Yunqian was found on the evening of the third day. She was not harmed in any way, but her memory was disconnected because of this, and she no longer remembered everything before she was kidnapped.

Du Sichen immediately felt the hospital and listened to the doctor's explanation.

"The spirit is hit, and there may be some memory barriers in the future..."

In the ward, the originally innocent and lively girl flinched a little, looking at Du Sichen as if she was looking at a stranger.

"who are you?"

"I'm your brother." Du Sichen had to repeat it several times before she could understand it.

She stared blankly ahead, absent-minded, and Du Sichen's every move could not arouse her concern.

"Yunqian..."

Du Sichen called softly, and for the first time realized that his tone was full of tenderness, but Du Yunqian didn't respond to the name. She blinked silently, refusing to communicate with anyone.

After bringing Du Yunqian home from the hospital, she was still very quiet, always huddled in the corner of the room blankly, no matter what method she used, she couldn't induce her to say a few more words.

Du Sichen bought some books and brought them back to her, which had an unexpected effect. She would laugh because of the contents of the books.

Hearing her long-lost laughter, Du Sichen felt a dull pain in his heart.

She stopped calling him brother, and stopped sticking to him to follow up. These behaviors that originally disgusted Du Sichen, only after losing them did they realize how precious they were.

He mentioned Du Yunqian's abnormal condition to his parents, worried about his sister's sudden temperament change, and questioned her personal safety.

"Can you hire some people to protect Yunqian?" he suggested.

"It's not necessary." Mother refused.

"The doctor said that Yunqian's mental state has not improved, and she still doesn't cry or laugh, and can't remember anything."

"Don't worry about her, she will be fine in a while."

Mother didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it didn't matter if she didn't cry or laugh, as long as she was well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble, that was enough.

This sentence turned out to be the last straw that crushed Du Sichen's reason.

He began to collect school information, choose a place to live for Du Yunqian, and arrange staff to take care of her daily life.He decided to send his sister away instead of being under the Du family's dependents, hoping that the family's cold-blooded animals would give her any warmth.

Du Yunqian was always docile, even if Du Sichen told him that he was about to go abroad, she just looked at him with wide eyes and didn't protest.

She hadn't realized it was a long separation when she was young.

On the day of leaving the country, Du Sichen personally sent Du Yunqian to the airport.

"Ferris wheel!" Du Yunqian raised his hand suddenly, pointing to the amusement park beside the road. The red Ferris wheel stands on the side of the road and runs slowly.

"Do you want to play?"

"Ah."

Du Yunqian nodded, if it wasn't for the urgent flight time, Du Sichen would have stopped the car immediately and let her play as many times as she likes just by smiling at the smile that hadn't appeared on her face for a long time.

"Next time, next time I will sit with you!"

"Really?" Du Yunqian's originally disappointed face suddenly glowed.

"Really." Du Sichen nodded gently.

"Agreed?"

"Okay, it's a deal."

Du Yunqian stretched out her little finger, and Du Sichen ticked her off.He looked at the little girl who had just turned eight years old with a little pity.

The old her had already died in that accident.She lost her innocent smile and lively personality, and now she is only afraid and retreating.

"Where are we going?" Du Yunqian finally realized that this road was neither leading to school nor to any familiar place.

Far away from home, her face showed confusion.

"I'm going to take you to a safe place, you don't have to be afraid anymore, I won't let anyone hurt you..."

Du Yunqian looked at him speechlessly.

"I am your brother, I will protect you well and take care of you for the rest of my life..." Du Sichen whispered, the words were barely audible.

He didn't know if Du Yunqian understood, she looked at the sky with empty eyes.

"When I come back, you will accompany me to ride the Ferris wheel, won't you?" she murmured.

The car stopped in front of the department store, and Du Sichen lowered the window to watch the ongoing filming in the square.

He looked at the newspaper in his hand.

In Du Yunqian's new idol drama, the intense intimate scene between the male and female protagonists has once again become the focus. The media is very curious about the relationship between the two, and frequently catches the wind.

Shen Weizhen praised Du Yunqian as his ideal type of lover, while Du Yunqian politely complimented Du Yunqian as his proud senior.Under the hype of the media, the two are regarded as the most suitable couple on screen.

Du Sichen suddenly felt depressed, he pushed the newspaper aside, he didn't want to read any more reports about these two people.

I don't know when, the media almost regarded Du Yunqian and Shen Weizhen as an on-screen couple. As long as the dramas they cooperate with are guaranteed box office, Gossip Weekly also catches the wind and reports their good friendship since they were students.

In Du Sichen's heart, Du Yunqian was still the shy and timid little girl more than ten years ago. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she returned from abroad and finished college with the best grades and the fastest speed. After graduation, she ignored his objections. Join showbiz.

At first, he thought that Du Yunqian was just curious, and he didn't mind letting her try, after she failed, he would take care of her life and choose a path suitable for Miss Qianjin for her.

Unexpectedly, Du Yunqian achieved great success in the first series, and then won unanimous praise from the audience for her cameo appearance in the movie.

The successive successes allowed her to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment circle and occupy a place in the showbiz.

After more than a year in the entertainment industry, her achievements are remarkable, and even Du Sichen has no way to deny this fact.

For more than ten years, he has always regarded Du Yunqian as his property, and her every move is under his control.

Now, not only does he have to share Du Yunqian with many fans, but even her itinerary is extremely difficult to grasp.

Fortunately, he had already installed his own people in the agency company "The Age of Innocence" established by Yunqian, and sent his right-hand assistant to Du Yunqian to take care of the details of her life.

"General Manager, I've watched this play! Missy's acting skills are really good, and the audience thinks that the best actress in the next year must be Missy." The driver actually dared to interrupt at this time, and Du Sichen couldn't help it. He stared in the rearview mirror.

Not realizing that he was flattering and slapping the horse's leg, the driver continued happily, "The hero and heroine are really talented and beautiful. They have never been able to get together smoothly, and people can't help but worry about them..."

"Look around and wait for my call."

Not wanting to listen to the driver talking about the plot, Du Sichen opened the door and stepped out of the car.

As soon as he appeared, there were constant whispers around him.

"It's Du Sichen! Why is he here?"

"It should be to visit the class!"

"So handsome!"

Du Sichen was very used to being the focus of everyone's attention. He stood on the spot without hearing anything, watching Du Yunqian not far away who was concentrating on communicating with the director, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed in his heart.

Asking her to keep a distance from Shen Weizhen has never been realized.

Du Yunqian always complained that he didn't care about her acting career, but he didn't realize that she was making things difficult for others.

Want him to go to her movie premiere?The focus of the plot is her first on-screen kiss.

Want him to watch her first ticketed concert?The media has long analyzed her stage outfits with poor fabrics one by one.

Based on the above factors, he was absent one by one with self-knowledge.

Du Yunqian blamed him for his indifference, which was definitely a misunderstanding, but he didn't want to say what was on his mind, and he didn't want her to know how small his mind was.

The cool night breeze brought a bit of coolness. Du Sichen looked up and saw a Ferris wheel on the upper floor of the shopping mall carrying tourists across the night sky. remember.

He took a few steps closer, quietly waiting for Du Yunqian to discover his presence.

"Brother!" Du Yunqian looked back, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, she ran forward in three steps at a time, and threw herself into Du Sichen's arms when he opened his arms.

"Didn't you go abroad to participate in the trade show?" The girl with heavy makeup showed a bright smile, nestled into her brother's arms and did not intend to leave.

"Well, just got off the plane."

"Well, it's been a month since I've seen you, right?"

"That's right! Didn't you promise me a month ago that you would take less work and give yourself more time to rest?" Du Sichen hugged his sister, stroked her hair lightly, trying not to sound too reproachful mean.

"The producer said that this role must belong to me..."

Du Yunqian smiled and looked up at her brother with shining eyes.

"Get out of here first!"

Noticing that there were more and more passers-by watching around, and some even picked up their mobile phones to take pictures of memorable scenes, Du Sichen took Du Yunqian's hand.

"It's break time, isn't it?"

After glancing at Du Yunqian and seeing her nodding her head, Du Sichen continued, "Do you want to ride the Ferris wheel?"

"Thinking about it, but...the queue will take more than an hour at this time..." Du Yunqian hesitated.

"Line up?" Du Sichen frowned, he had a lot of complaints about this term, and he shook his head solemnly, "I don't line up."

Ten minutes later, the two successfully got on the Ferris wheel. The senior executive of the shopping center personally sent the two into the cockpit on the ground, and led a group of subordinates to bow respectfully.His expression seemed to blame himself for not preparing champagne and roses in advance to add to the fun.

"It's an old friend." Du Sichen explained simply.

"Of course, that's why he led a whole team of subordinates out of the office to meet us, and personally sent us to the front of the team."

Du Yunqian was a little dumbfounded.

The two sat opposite each other, each looking at the scenery outside the window.Du Sichen glanced at the girl across from him. He had a lot to say, but suddenly became quiet at this moment. The lectures he had prepared were completely useless.

If she loves to take jobs, let her take them, as long as she takes care of her health.She loves to cooperate with Shen Weizhen and let her do it, anyway, Du Sichen knows very well that there will be no development between them.

Even if there is, he will destroy it as quickly as possible.

Du Yunqian is no longer the child who was at his mercy, blindly prohibiting it may only cause more reactions from her, just like she resolutely left home.

"Brother." After being quiet for a while, Du Yunqian suddenly smiled and called him.

"What's the matter?" Du Sichen came back to his senses.

Only then did I realize that I was a little lost looking at Du Yunqian.

"Before, brother once promised me that he would take me to ride the Ferris wheel, right?"

"Do you remember?"

"From then on, no matter how many opportunities I had, I refused to ride the Ferris wheel with other people. I just hoped that I could wait until this day and come with my brother."

Du Yunqian said softly, and then smiled again, "However, the sudden realization of what I have been waiting for for so long has become very unreal."

Unexpectedly, Du Yunqian still remembered this incident, Du Sichen reached out and stroked her hair.

"Wait from the age of eight to now? I really don't know whether to say you are stubborn or..."

"It's persistence!" Du Yunqian said with a smile.

Du Sichen looked at her thoughtfully.

She has always been the most obedient sister, accepting all his arrangements submissively, no matter how unreasonable the request is, she will comply with it one by one, but she also has a stubborn side.Du Yunqian insisted on going back to China to study in university, refused to marry the person he arranged, and even resolutely left home to join the showbiz despite his objection.

She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, sometimes even he is helpless.

There was only one thing that Du Sichen gradually gained confidence in, and that was Du Yunqian's attachment to her.

He respected and loved his elder brother sincerely, no matter how bad his attitude towards her was, her love never changed, which made Du Sichen both moved and proud.

"Speaking of which, it's also my first time to ride a Ferris wheel." Du Sichen looked up at the splendid light of the Ferris wheel and smiled slightly.

"Oh, why?"

"Didn't you notice? I haven't dared to look down after being up for so long."

"Brother has a fear of heights?" Du Yunqian wondered.

"I don't have a fear of heights, and I've never been afraid of visiting high-rise construction sites, but I just feel uncomfortable being suspended in midair..." Du Sichen shifted his gaze to Du Yunqian.

"So……"

Du Yunqian moved her body and sat beside Du Sichen, took his arm, and said with a sweet smile, "Let me embolden you! Is this better?"

"Perhaps, there is such a thing..."

Du Sichen looked helplessly at Du Yunqian, who smiled defenselessly and pressed his body tightly against him.

She didn't know the truth, so she didn't realize that this was a dangerous closed space, and the person in front of her was a man who had no blood relationship with her.

He never intended to tell Du Yunqian the truth.She doesn't remember anything, and he's happy to stay on as brother.

But with the passage of time, now she is no longer the helpless girl lying in the hospital bed, she has grown up and become a pure and lovely girl.

"Don't hold on so tightly, or I'll think you're the one who's scared." Gently push Du Yunqian half a foot away, leaving a gap between the two.

"But..." Du Yunqian still held Du Yunqian's arm with both hands, and his admiration was beyond words.

"You can't do this to other men, you have to be reserved like a girl." Du Sichen couldn't help but pull his arm out of her grasp.

"Because it's my brother! I would never do this to other people." Du Yunqian smiled sweetly, and answered as a matter of course.

"Look, the night is beautiful, right?" Du Sichen pointed out the window to divert her attention.

Du Yunqian followed the direction of his finger, turned to watch, her hair brushed against his cheek, causing Du Sichen to inhale a faint fragrance.

"Sit down, don't fall." He took Du Yunqian's hand and asked her to sit down, "A young lady should pay attention to her manners."

"It's just the two of us here, what's the matter!" Du Yunqian protested.

"The Ferris wheel is not a hidden space, not only people in the front and rear carriages may see it, but people on the ground may also see it.

Almost to the ground, remember to keep smiling! "Du Sichen put on a serious face and admonished him softly.

"My brother looks more like someone in the entertainment industry than me."

Filled with joy, being poured cold water on her head, Du Yunqian restrained her smile, sat back facing Du Sichen with a little aggrieved face, folded her hands, and sat down gracefully.

"It's because you are too lacking in vigilance!"

After getting off the Ferris wheel, Du Sichen accompanied his sister back to the shooting scene. The director and staff had been waiting for a long time. Du Yunqian apologized repeatedly, while Du Sichen watched coldly from the sidelines, with a dignified face like a king, without any apology.

For him, his sister is his, no matter how much time it takes, it is a matter of course.

After apologizing, Du Yunqian came back to bid him farewell, and Du Sichen's face finally showed some warmth.

He smoothed his sister's messy bangs, and said softly, "Don't be too tired, remember to go home for dinner on weekends."

"I know."

"The weather is getting colder, wear more clothes." Du Sichen couldn't help reminding Du Yunqian after looking at the slightly flimsy dress on Du Yunqian's body.

"Brother, I'm not a child anymore." Du Yunqian protested with a smile.

"In my heart, you will always be only eight years old. Go to work!" He nudged her and watched Du Yunqian trot back to the director, ready to shoot the next scene.

The night is falling, but the day and night work in the entertainment industry has only officially begun. Although Du Sichen is worried, Du Yunqian is still a part of the entertainment industry, and this kind of life will not be changed because of his reprimands and complaints.

As Du Yunqian said, she is no longer a child, she has her own life, which cannot be easily controlled by Du Sichen, but in Du Sichen's heart, she always remembers her appearance when she was eight years old, and also always remembers the promise she made back then.

"I am your brother, I will protect you and take care of you for the rest of my life..."

He will love Du Yunqian like an older brother.This will never change.
