The excited voice over the phone was making Sheng Tang’s head hurt.
In this world, many people called her "sister," but none with such justified certainty as her half-sister Xu Yun.
Five years ago, Xu Bingzhi brought back his dragon and phoenix twins, whom he had raised in the United States, to the Xu Family.
He had enough clout in the Xu Family to arrange for his children to live in Beijing, and his parents didn’t oppose it.
When Sheng Tang was in her freshman year of college, the twins somehow found out about her and knew they had a biological sister, so they skipped classes and ran from Beijing to S City to see her.
They both resembled Xu Bingzhi quite a bit, standing at the entrance of the Film Academy, asking every student they saw, "Excuse me, do you know Sheng Tang?"
"Do you know who Sheng Tang is? Where can we find her?"
"She’s our sister."
Soon, many people at the school knew that Sheng Tang had a pair of younger siblings and complimented the twins’ good looks.
The twins didn’t distinguish much between themselves, but Xu Bingzhi insisted on making the daughter the older sister and the son the younger brother, which the elders of the Xu Family also acknowledged.
However, the twins didn’t agree, especially the boy Xu Kai, who insisted on calling himself the "big brother."
Both of them inherited Xu Bingzhi’s good looks; they were two pretty little rascals.
Later, they encountered one of Sheng Tang’s senior classmates, who led them to Sheng Tang’s dormitory door.
At their first meeting, Sheng Tang could guess their identity immediately, as they resembled Xu Bingzhi by about seventy percent.
The two children were stunned together.
Sheng Tang approached and heard them fearlessly speaking in English, "She’s so beautiful, doesn’t look like dad, must resemble her mom."
"Dad had good taste when he was young, not anymore."
"Yeah, our mom must not be good-looking at all; otherwise, why didn’t her genes get passed down to us?"
Sheng Tang: "..."
Their purpose in coming was probably for fun, maybe also to give Sheng Tang a hard time, so she wouldn’t steal their dad.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Tang was so beautiful.
The twins only judged people by looks, spoiled brats by default.
They felt Sheng Tang’s beauty made her well-qualified to be their big sister, so they willingly pledged allegiance, single-handedly acknowledging Sheng Tang as their biological sister without her consent.
Sheng Tang settled them in a hotel next to the school and called Xu Bingzhi.
Xu Bingzhi happened to have gone back to the United States for some business at the head office.
Sheng Tang had no choice but to play nanny and took care of the twelve-year-old duo.
The Xu siblings stayed in S City for a week; Sheng Tang arranged activities meticulously and took them around to have fun.
Since then, they had formed a profound revolutionary bond.
Xu Yun often called Sheng Tang. As she grew older, with no female elders around, she wasn’t close to her grandmother in Beijing, so she treated Sheng Tang like a parent and even confided her first love to her.
Sheng Tang wasn’t enthusiastic about rekindling the father-daughter relationship with Xu Bingzhi but felt quite fond of her little sister.
It must be the charm of blood relationships.
Xu Yun was very mischievous; always coming up with various ways to rebel against Xu Bingzhi.
Running away from home wasn’t the first time she caused trouble.
Sheng Tang pinched her temples and asked, slightly irritated, "What is it this time?"
"I’m at the South District Airport, sis, come pick me up, or the little fairy will be abducted by human traffickers." Xu Yun didn’t answer her, shouting loudly over the phone.
Sheng Tang: "..."
How could such a grown-up girl be so shameless?
Sheng Tang finally understood why Xu Bingzhi always had a "I’m worried sick" expression whenever he mentioned his twins.
