In Lu Bao's room.
"Our brothers chose this dress but..." Still confused, Lu Bao couldn't complete her sentence.
"But I liked the other one just like you," Lu Lian completed in her stead.
"Really? Then I'll wear what we both liked." She was happy to hear this from Lu Lian.
"Men don't know what looks good on women, particularly our brothers."
"You are absolutely right." Lu Bao turned to keep the dresses in her wardrobe carefully. The sisters sat on the bed and thought of something. "Did you notice how brother Lu Qiang and Lu Feng reacted when I showed them the dresses?"
"Yeah! They reacted the same way."
"Not only were their facial expressions similar, but it was also the words and tone that matched!" Lu Bao said excitedly.
"There's no reason to be surprised. Everyone knows that they think and speak the same way. Remember when grandma told us of their teenage years?" Lu Lian asked in a light voice.
"I remember," Lu Bao said. "Just that their personalities are quite different. That doesn't change the fact that they are both icebergs." She snickered.
"One is from the south pole and the other from the north pole." Lu Lian said with a small smile.
"Imagine what will happen if these two men fall for the same woman." She had a gossipy expression on her face.
"Don't say that!" Lu Lian reprimanded.
"I'm just hypothetically speaking," she retorted. "I wonder who the girl will end up with," her tone was nothing short of conspiratorial.
"I don't want to think about a situation where either of them is sad or heartbroken," Lu Lian commented with a sour expression.
"Don't make that face. You won't see either of them sad," Lu Bao said with a sigh.
"Why?" Lu Lian asked, clearly surprised by the turn of events.
"Because, in the end, Lu Lijun will win the girl." She broke out into a chuckle.
"W-what?" Her mind couldn't process Lu Bao's words.
Lu Bao began matter-of-factly. "Lu Lijun likes the things that his elder brothers like and in the end, the two end up giving that think to Lu Lijun. So he will win the girl." She shrugged.
"That was not funny. He's just a little boy," Lu Lian said in an angry voice.
"Don't be angry! Remember what he said? He would choose the left dress if these brothers chose the same." Lu Lian simply hummed in reply.
"At that time, he'll say 'If my brothers chose her, then I will choose her, too!'" She mimicked Lu Lijun's voice and did it very well.
Lu Lian broke into a chuckle. "I admit, that was funny. If Lu Lijun sees us, he will definitely make our brothers torture you mercilessly." Watching with amus.e.m.e.nt as the other practiced mimicking, Lu Bao felt her anger dissipating.
"Just imagine little Lu Lijun taking a girl away from those two."
The two laughed, clutching their stomachs, completely unaware that the words they had cooked up for fun would become a reality that they would witness in the future.
They say, 'A moment comes when your tongue becomes the reality of your life, so choose your words wisely.'
Jiang residence. In Jiang Yuyan's room.
Jiang Yang cursed in pain. "What are you doing?" he asked, scratching his head where it hurts.
Jiang Yuyan plucked a hair from his head and stared at it. "I am taking a sample for a DNA test. I need to confirm if you are my brother or not," she said seriously.
There was surprise clearly written on his face.
"You heard right. I need to clear my suspicions."
"Are you doubting our parents' integrity? You know how much they love each other," he said, shocked.
"I do not doubt them. I have suspicions that you were adopted," she said lightly, fiddling with the strand of hair she had plucked.
"I'm sorry to say, but the adopted one must be you."
"That's impossible." Jiang Yuyan said happily. "I took after mom."
"And I took after dad," the other said proudly.
Jiang Yuyan harrumphed, unable to refute this logic.
"If you are that eager, allow this doctor to reveal to you the results of this test." He began in a playful tone.
"What's that?" she grumbled.
"When you observe the DNA under the electron microscope, you will be surprised to see them dancing hand in hand, shouting 'we are the best brother and sister in the world.' Don't be surprised if my chromosomes with genes spell out brother and yours sister." He gave her a pointed look.
"I am surer that yours will spell out 'crazy,'" she said with a small smile on her face. To be honest, she particularly enjoyed this banter.
"You're absolutely right," the brother said. "And yours will spell out 'angry.' Well, a crazy brother and an angry sister sound like a good combination." He walked towards the couch and sat down on it.
"Still, how could you talk to me like that? Do you know of any brothers who would do that?" There was a trace of anger in her voice, but it didn't change the calm expression on Jiang Yang's face.
"I do," he said, raising his hand up.
"I know! I know that since my birth. Can't you be like a real elder brother who acts seriously with his younger sister?"
"Do you want me to be like a brother, who ends up beating every boy who approaches his sister? I didn't learn Kung Fu to waste my energy on such things," he said indignantly.
"Not like that, but still..." she trailed off.
"No, I can't be serious. If you had a boyfriend, I would have to ask about your s.e.x life, too."
