32. Turns Out He's a Siscon
Ling's appearance perfectly blends the best qualities of his father and mother, and he is as beautiful as his sister, Eden. (Talent: Alluring, activated)
At home, he was different from Eden.
Eden was subjected to various high-pressure training since she was a child. Although it was very tiring, it also made Eden an outstanding child star.
Ling was the apple of everyone's eye, and even the most serious father rarely criticized him.
But Eden felt neither sadness nor jealousy about this.
Because she is the one who loves Ling the most in this family, sometimes she has to take responsibility for the mistakes Ling makes accidentally, even when facing her father's anger.
Of course, about these mistakes, father knew about them, but he just turned a blind eye.
And the first word Ling learned after he was born was "sister".
This made a certain serious adult angry for a long time, and also made Eden like Ling even more.
"Sister...these music scores are so difficult." Ling made a bitter face.
"Then let's take a rest." Eden touched Ling's head and said softly.
"Yeah, I want to hear my sister sing for me." Ling hugged Eden's slender waist and lay in her arms, acting coquettishly.
"Okay, but you have to memorize all these music scores later." Eden looked at Ling and pretended to be serious.
"...Hmm." Ling's face was full of reluctance.
"Otherwise, I won't sing for you next time." Eden threatened.
"No, I just promised my sister." Ling buried his head in her abdomen.
"Really? You like to act like a spoiled child so much. You don't act like a boy at all. Be careful that no girl will like you in the future." Eden gently stroked Ling's little head.
"Sister...sister, don't you want me anymore?" Ling looked at Eden with tears in his eyes.
The pitiful little face was full of panic and fear.
Seeing this, Eden hurriedly comforted her.
"Of course not. Sister will always be with Xiao Ling."
"Then let's make a pinky promise!" Ling continued with a puffed face.
"Okay, let's make a promise that we won't change for a hundred years!" Eden hooked Ling's little finger and said softly.
Ling then stopped crying and smiled again.
…
Before long, Ling became famous in the art circle.
He has decent talent, a stunning face, and the background and resources of an artistic family, so almost no one would feel disgusted with him.
But compared with those top artists, he is still far behind.
Not even first-rate.
His sister Eden was the real genius. At the age of twenty, her achievements in art had completely surpassed her father and mother.
The renowned opera queen, heir to classical music, and world-class superstar of the new era...
Every performance was packed.
"Sister!" Ling pounced and came to Eden.
"Xiao Ling, why are you here?" A hint of panic flashed in Eden's eyes.
But Ling didn't notice it; instead, he raised his head with some anger.
"Sister, I miss you... Because you are always busy with work, we don't even have time to meet." Ling said very dissatisfiedly.
Although Eden often toured around the world in the past, she always made time to accompany Ling.
But in the past year, he has rarely seen his sister. Even if they meet, she just takes a quick glance and then goes back to work.
"Does it mean my sister's job is more important than me?" Ling's eyes were filled with deep disappointment.
"How could that be? Sister has been just too busy recently. Once she's done, she'll have time to accompany Xiao Ling." Eden comforted softly.
Eden was also helpless about this.
She was deliberately distancing herself from Ling because, for some reason, every time she came into contact with Ling, she would always feel a strange feeling in her heart.
It was a feeling she had never experienced before, and she knew exactly what it was. It frightened her greatly, and at the same time gave her a headache.
Ling is my own brother!
And the longer you come into contact with Ling, the more obvious that strange feeling becomes. (Talent: Strange Aura, activated)
This also forced Eden to leave Ling temporarily, and keep an appropriate distance from Ling under the pretext of performing to reduce the strange throbbing.
"Okay..." Ling nodded sensibly.
The brother and sister chatted happily, without any sense of strangeness after not seeing each other for a long time.
This is indeed the first time that the two have been separated for such a long time. In the past, they were inseparable, and even if they were separated, it would only be one or two days at most.
It's not surprising that Ling shows such longing.
Eden rubbed Ling's little head apologetically and promised to make time to accompany him in the future.
Suddenly, the backstage door was gently pushed open.
"Eden~"
A quirky and slightly coquettish voice sounded.
Ling looked at the person who came warily. It was a girl with pink hair.
"Wow! What a cute child! Let me rub him!"
Elysia saw Ling sitting in front of Eden at a glance. His cute face made her unable to control herself, and she wanted to go forward and rub him.
Ling felt his hair stand on end. He stood up without hesitation and hid behind Eden, looking at Elysia vigilantly.
"Ely, you're here. Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Ling."
"Ling, this is Sister Elysia, my best friend."
Eden introduced the two to each other.
"Oh~ So you're Ling that Eden always mentions. You're so cute... If you call me Sister Ely, I'll take you to the amusement park, how about that?"
At this moment, Elysia was staring at Ling like a weird uncle holding a lollipop to kidnap children.
She really wanted to rub Ling's little face.
Ling was still hiding behind Eden, only sticking out half of his head to observe Elysia.
Eden couldn't help but feel a little strange. Ling wasn't so shy before.
As Elysia approached, Ling tightened his grip on Eden's clothes.
"Don't be afraid, Ely is a very good person." Eden could only comfort him.
"Oh, it seems like I'm hated." Elysia spread her hands and let Ling go.
Suddenly, she hugged Eden's arm affectionately.
Ling seemed to be furious, staring at Elysia in front of him with a "super fierce" look.
Elysia noticed Ling's expression, and a hint of amusement appeared in her eyes.
She tried to let go of Eden, and the look in his eyes returned to being a little fearful and wary.
She hugged Eden, and his eyes returned to their "super fierce" look.
Oh, so you are a siscon?
