After rebirth, I cut off my love brain sister and want to be the queen

The sudden sound of the door opening startled both Zhou Minghe and I. He turned around quickly and looked at me, but I couldn't see through his thoughts.

In a moment, the door opened and Zhou Ci walked in. When he saw Zhou Minghe beside the door, he was slightly startled.

Zhou Minghe called out calmly, "Uncle, where have you been? I was planning to come over to find you to go out and play."

Zhou Ci looked at Zhou Minghe and then at me. Maybe because I was dressed too conservatively and appropriately, he didn't notice anything.

"It's so late, where do you want me to go?" Zhou Ci's handsome face was covered with a trace of fatigue: "I've been busy all day and I'm a little tired. I can't go out with you today."

Zhou Minghe looked disappointed: "I'm going abroad the day after tomorrow. I want my uncle to take me to Guangzhou for some fun before I leave."

Zhou Ci reached out and patted his shoulder: "Have you just arrived recently?"

Zhou Minghe nodded, and then continued: "Aunt said you were out, so she poured me a glass of water. Since you were not here, I was going to leave."

The title of "young aunt" really scared me. This little green tea girl can talk and has confirmed her identity for me.

What a pity, I’m afraid I don’t have the life to enjoy this blessing.

Zhou Ci looked at me with complicated eyes, then nodded: "Xiao He, go back and rest early. If you want to go to Guangzhou to play, go early tomorrow morning and play basketball. Let your uncle see if your basketball skills have improved."

Zhou Minghe then nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

He opened the door and went out.

The room was quiet. I looked at Zhou Ci. Zhou Ci looked at the half-drunk cup of water, wondering what he was thinking.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come back?" I just spoke and my voice sounded hoarse.

Maybe I had been suppressing my emotions for too long and finally couldn't hold it back anymore, so I wanted to release them through tears.

Zhou Ci came over and hugged me gently. Then, he let go and sat down on the sofa. He closed his eyes and said to me, "Jingjing, why didn't you ask me why you came back so late? Why didn't you ask me who I was with or what I did?"

My expression froze for a moment, and then I sat down beside him, gently leaning against his shoulder. I smelled a hint of perfume, faint and very high-end.

"If you don't tell me, I won't ask." My voice sounded a bit like a nagging woman.

Zhou Ci's fingers gently rubbed my arm: "Why are you so sensible? You're so open-minded at such a young age?"

"I won't tell you what to do in your life. We are all adults. We all know what we should do and what we can do, don't we?" I said bitterly to myself.

Zhou Ci's emotions seemed to collapse in an instant. He suddenly buried his face in my shoulder. A grown man actually started crying.

"I'm sorry, Jingjing, forget what I said to you before." He apologized to me with a hoarse voice.

My whole body was tense, like a string, and the blood in my body was frozen.

Is he finally going to confess to me?

Although I was mentally prepared, it was still hard to accept the sudden loss.

"Zhou Ci, what happened? Don't be like this, I'll be scared." I whispered to comfort him.

Zhou Ci shed tears in silence for a while, then said in a hoarse voice: "I may have to marry He Lin. Jingjing, we can't see each other anymore."

I was silent for a moment, as if even my breathing stopped.

Zhou Ci raised his head, his red eyes showing that he was also very uncomfortable, unwilling and aggrieved at the moment.

"Jingjing, don't be silent. Tell me what you think." Zhou Ci looked at me in a daze, feeling very distressed. He reached out and touched my face.

My bitten lip loosened, and then I smiled sadly: "You are getting married, then I can only wish you the best, Zhou Ci. In fact, I never expected to spend my whole life with you. I am already very satisfied to have this period of time together."

Zhou Ci was stunned for a long time. He reached out and hugged me tightly in his arms. His fingers stroked my hair and his voice was broken: "I really want to spend my whole life with you, Jingjing, but I can't do anything about it. Reality is too cruel. If I continue to be with you, it will only hurt you."

When I heard these words, my sadness instantly disappeared and was replaced by calmness.

"If we don't break up, will the He family let me go?" I asked in a sad voice.

"Yes." Zhou Ci sighed, then he calmed down and looked at me and said, "The He family asked me to get the marriage certificate with He Lin next week. Jingjing, I proposed to live abroad with He Lin for five years. His family agreed. Starting tomorrow, I will move out. This house is yours."

I looked at him with a reluctant expression, but Zhou Ci said bitterly: "You have been with me for a while, so take everything I give you with peace of mind."

"Zhou Ci, thank you." At this moment, I felt complicated.

Zhou Ci stood up and walked into the bedroom. He packed a bag and walked out: "The He family asked me to leave here tonight. Jingjing, I'm sorry, I can only protect you in my own way. This is the agreement I signed with the He family."

I stood up suddenly, tears streaming down my face. Zhou Ci is a loyal man. At this moment, I seemed to have no words to say except watching him leave.

Zhou Ci avoided looking at me. After he finished speaking, he opened the door and stood outside. He looked at me deeply for a few more times before closing the door and leaving.

I knew we would separate, but I didn't know it would be so soon.

For a moment, I was at a loss, as if something important was suddenly peeled away. I wanted to grab it, but my hands were empty.

I fell to the floor, bent my legs, and buried my face between my knees. I don't know how much time passed before my emotions gradually calmed down.

I can accept Zhou Ci’s sudden departure, and I can also accept starting over alone.

Compared to my previous life, at this moment, I am at least content and not panicked.

I have money, a house, and a building in Guangzhou. I now have goals to pursue and expectations for the future...

I hardly slept that night. I sat on the windowsill and watched the darkness gradually turn into light.

I managed to hold on all night, and the next morning, when I was planning to catch up on some sleep, there was a knock on the door.

I thought Zhou Ci had come back again, and I couldn't help but run to the door. Unexpectedly, when I opened the door, it was Zhou Minghe who was looking at me, panting.

"Did you break up?" he asked me with an unsteady breath.

I didn't want to answer him, so I turned and walked towards the bedroom: "I'm very tired and need to rest. Please do as you please."

I walked to the bed, lay down, and pulled the quilt over me. Zhou Minghe followed me all the way to the bed and looked at me: "The He family is too cruel. They have forced my uncle into a corner."

"It's his choice," I said vaguely.

"You cried for him all night?" Zhou Minghe asked with a frown.

I forced my eyes open and looked at his gloating expression: "I've been abandoned. Shouldn't you celebrate? You finally broke up our relationship."

Zhou Minghe squatted down, very close to me, with a smug smile on his face: "Your breakup is not because of me, don't blame me for everything."

"Then what do you want to do by coming here so early in the morning?" I turned my face away in annoyance and didn't look at him.

Zhou Minghe suddenly took off his coat and got into my quilt: "Now, can you give it to me?"
