Rebirth of Brotherly Love | Detailed Summary

Ch 22

 In the bedroom An Luo fingers are clenched so tight on the wheelchair, they have gone paler. His breath is ragged and his chest feels tight. Bitter tears burn his eyes but he desperately holds them back.

- Endless Love, unable to end, no response, only despair ... An Ze asked him what he thinks of it, how should he answer?

Fell in love with the wrong person, love a person who will never be able to give a response, what to do?

What could I do?

An Luo was only an ignorant teenager when he met An Yang. In his memory, An Yang always liked to wear a white suit. It suited him well, elegant, he grew up in a big family. He was born with a noble temperament, even sitting there without saying anything, will instantly attract people's attention.

An Yang had a twin sister called An Fi. Gentle and handsome brother An Yang, beautiful sister An fi, twin siblings would always become the focus of the whole audience.

An Luo lived in the shadows, could only stand silently in the corner practicing drinking. Father said, men must have a high tolerance for liquor, later in business, you can only pretend to be drunk. Must be familiar with an assortment of wines and liquors.

Cup after cup of cold liquid down the throat, even the heart has no trace of warmth. Left alone to drink, left alone to suffer the burning pain, twisting in his stomach. Vomiting in the dark, that lonley pain left a deep impression in his memory.

Only gentle An Yang comforted him with a cup of warm water when he suffered a splitting headache and hangover. 

Warm water to the stomach, the only warmth seems to be sent to the bottom of my heart.

He will fall in love with An yang, perhaps because An yang gave him warmth he desperately desired.

An Luo as an illegitimate child expected to be hated. Even so, An Yang was kind to him. Treated him as a true brother without any prejudice.

An Luo was very clear, dazzling An yang is the real successor of the home, and he an Luo, was only the spare tire that the father had picked up to bring home. He was content to support his brother on the side. 

He never expected his brother to fall in love with a detective and shun involvement in the shady family business, leaving An Luo to become the successor to have to shoulder the responsibility of the family.

An Luo can never forget his mood at that time. It was a feeling that the heart was torn to pieces and thrown on the ground.

He remembers the way he squeezed out a smile and said calmly, "Don't worry, brother." Who could understand the bitterness in his heart?

Later, An Yang's lover's identity as an undercover detective was exposed. He was brutally murdered by the mafia in An Yang's apartment. He came home and found him. He never really recovered from the emotional breakdown. He was even crippled in a car accident later on.

An Luo temper became more and more indifferent, but, whenever facing brother An yang, that cold barrier he tightly wrapped around himself, will melt away involuntarily ...

Until the moment of death in the air crash, had a lifetime of unrequited love.

Since rebirth, An Luo has decided to forget about the past and start a new one. His memories of An Yang had become blurred.

However, today An ze's question reminded him of the secret scars buried in the deepest depths of his heart.

An Luo sat in the bedroom and took a long time to calm himself down.

When An Luo finally sorted out the mood from the bathroom, just heard a knock on the door.

 "Brother, come out for dinner."

An ze's voice was so low that he could not hear any emotion. After knocking at the door, he turned and walked away.

An Luo listened to his low voice, suddenly felt he had overreacted. An Ze had casually asked but had touched his sore spot and left him out of control.

But An ze was not angry and went to the kitchen to make dinner...

An Luo opened the door and turned the wheelchair to the dining room, and sees a table of food, all of their favorite dishes, and fragrant peanut chicken foot soup.

An Ze's face is not as usual gentle, but cold and stiff.

Looking at the meal on the table, thinking of the scene when he had just burst into anger, An Luo feels ashamed. An Luo is not good at words, he wants to apologize but doesn't know how to start.

  So they ate in silence until dinner was almost over.

An Luo's chopsticks stretched wanting to clip the last piece of ribs, but hit An ze's chopsticks. An Luo raised his head, to the An ze unusually deep eyes.

Two people have sandwiched a piece of ribs, after a moment of stubborn confrontation An Luo thinks he should give in to his brother. An Ze picks up the rib and places it gently in AN Luo's bowl,"It was meant to be for you, brother."

He smiled then, but it was such a lonely smile it worried An Luo. He started to say something but An Ze's phone went off.

An Luo asked, "Is there an urgent task?"

Anze said, "Yes. Don't wait up for me to come back."

An Luo looked at the brother dressed in his uniform. His straight back, tight black belt at his waist accentuating An Ze's perfect inverted triangle figure. Perfectly pressed, without a wrinkled seemed to give his body an added hint of majesty.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)There he goes again, he sure likes a man in uniform. Or at least he sure likes An Ze in his uniform.

Although An Ze seems to be resolute and upright, calm and mature, he is still a younger brother...

This brother still needs his brother's attention. It must be dangerous to go out and perform missions.

An Luo thought of what a brother should say, "An ze, be careful. Make sure you come back."

An ze stopped, and there was some unnatural stiffness in his spine. So concerned about the words ...How long has he wanted to hear such a thing?

After a moment's silence, An ze found his voice, whispered, "Rest assured, I won't let anything happen to me until I get what I want.

Looking back at An Luo, "I will come back to see you safely, brother." Then he closed the door and left.

He felt as though no matter what his brother wants it won't be able to escape his grasp.

He pokes at the last piece of ribs An Ze had given up for him. 

An Ze is complex and hard to understand. In the end, what is it he wants to get?
