Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When your father heard that you were coming back, he was overjoyed! Hehe, he was so nervous he tossed and turned all night! He kept reminding that he would personally cook when you’re back! He went out early this morning and bought fresh vegetables. He’s probably still busy at ho! ”
Sitting in the cab, Mother smiled and muttered to herself before gradually relaxing.
I smiled back, but kept silent, looking out through the window the whole ti.
“It’s good that you’re back! It’s good that you’re back!”
As Mother spoke, I could see, in the rear view mirror, the dampness forming at the corners of her eyes. However, she secretly wiped away her tears with her fingertips, trying to hide this from .
“Mom... ”
I silently looked out the window at the unfamiliar street scenery. I lowered my eyes slightly as I interrupted her, asking hesitantly, “How is... he?”
She fell silent, knowing who I was talking about. The smile on her face faded...
.
“Dongyu... has missed you all this while.”
*****
I vaguely rember, the first words that I uttered after I was born was “brother”.
The first words that I learnt, as I fumbled to read, was his na.
Dongyu...
Dongyu...
The deepest impression from my earliest mories was not the gentle whisper of my mother or the broad shoulders of my father, but the warm curve of his arms.
My na is Yin Xiachun. I was born on the hottest day of sumr.
His na is Yin Dongyu. He was born in the coldest period of winter.
He is my brother, four years my senior.
When I was young, my parents were always busy with work, and our family of four rarely got together. At that ti, the two of us were sent to my grandmother’s house in the countryside, and Dongyu was my pillar.
Dongyu inherited our mother’s good looks. He had delicate features and was very handso, especially his eyes. One look at them could make one lose their soul.
Hence, there had been many girls who liked him since we were young.
However, perhaps because Dongyu was born in winter, he had a rather cold personality and had always kept a distance from other children.
He was even a little distant from our parents. This coldness grew more apparent during his rebellious phase. Right from the onset, I was about the only person who could get close to him freely.
Perhaps it’s because we’re related by blood, Dongyu loved deeply.
Even my parents’ love could not compare to his love for .
I heard from Grandma that when I was born, Dongyu was still very young. He had skinny arms and legs. However, he was able to carry steadily and never dropped or mishandled .
At that ti, after my mother gave birth, her health wasn’t very good. Before I was a month old, she had handed the care of over to Grandma. Dongyu quietly followed wherever I went. He had never been close to anyone else since he was young, but he liked to carry and play with , calling my na repeatedly.
Chun Chun, Chun Chun...
When I wouldn’t stop crying, he would patiently tease . When I was hungry, it was he who would gently coax .
At night, he would hold in his arms and sing cradle songs till I fell asleep.
Whenever Grandma talked about this past, she would laugh, then sigh and say to , “See how your brother loved you.”
Yes, he really did love .
I had naively thought then, even if he were the only person in the world who doted on , I’d still be the happiest girl in the world.
I rember Grandma ntioning that when I was one year old, Dongyu held my little hand and taught how to walk, step by step.
He would crouch in front of as I took little steps. And in those days, I was chubby from being raised by my grandmother. Bundled up for the winter, I struggled to walk on my wobbly legs, stretching my arms out towards him.
