The day after my stepbrother and I crossed the line, he got into a car accident and lost his memory. When I rushed to the hospital, a strange girl was holding him, comforting him: "It's okay, baby. Even if you forget me, it just gives you a chance to confess your love to me all over again." I was furious and about to expose her lie when suddenly, I saw floating comments appear in the air. [Lol, the female side character is still worried about the male lead. Actually, he just got bored after sleeping with her and is faking amnesia to dump her openly.] [This two-faced heroine is so satisfying! From having a crush on the male lead since freshman year to saving him by chance now, pretending to be his girlfriend to get close... shipping them so hard!] [Did anyone notice the female side character can barely walk from the pain? The male lead really showed no mercy.] [Eh, a virgin boy has no control, just treat it as practice to give the heroine a better experience later~] ... So, when Caleb Hunt pretended to be confused and asked who I was. I ignored the heroine's hostile gaze and said calmly: "She's right. You two are a real couple." "As for you and me... we are brother and sister." 1 When I rushed to the hospital, my legs were still trembling uncontrollably. The nurse at the front desk asked me: "Looking for the patient in Bed 37? What is your relationship with him?" I couldn't help but think of last night. A boy and a girl tasting forbidden fruit for the first time, entangled until 3 AM before falling asleep in each other's arms, clothes mixed with sweat creating a mess on the floor. I coughed lightly, cheeks flushing. "I'm his girlfriend. How is he? Is he okay?" "Hmm? You're his girlfriend? Then who is keeping him company in the ward?" The nurse looked suspicious and pointed me in a direction. My brain buzzed. I quickened my pace, sensing something was wrong. Behind me, the nurse muttered. "Did I remember wrong? That handsome guy who got into a car accident... if his girlfriend hadn't passed by and called the ambulance in time, he wouldn't have woken up so fast." "..." The ward door was ajar. The boy I longed for had gauze wrapped around his head, his handsome pale face full of confusion. "Are you... really my girlfriend?" The girl standing in front of him had a fresh face and smiling eyes. It was Lily Vance, the beauty of the neighboring class and the heiress of the wealthy Vance family. "Your name is Caleb Hunt, a high school graduate from Lincoln High. You like sweets, have a kind heart, often feed stray cats at the school gate, and your best sport is basketball..." "Is that all?" Caleb interrupted her mercilessly. "That only proves we know each other. Being a girlfriend is a stretch." Lily blinked and leaned in closer. At a distance where they could hear each other breathe, the girl's red lips curled up. "Your ears are sensitive. When you kiss me, you're urgent and fierce because you like seeing me go weak and breathless." "Oh, and our first time was on a hotel sofa. You have a beautiful butterfly tattoo on your side waist. I not only kissed it, but also scratched and bit it..." "Stop... stop talking." Caleb's ear tips turned red, and he reached out to cover her mouth. "I believe you, okay?" Lily cupped his face and planted a kiss. "It's okay, baby. Amnesia isn't a big deal. Just gives you a chance to confess your love to me all over again." Although Caleb and Lily were both popular figures at Lincoln High, one had high standards, and the other was known for not being interested in girls. They didn't know each other at all, so how could they be boyfriend and girlfriend? Moreover, the intimate things Lily mentioned were clearly what Caleb and I did. After the college entrance exams, Caleb drank too much at the graduation party and dragged me to a hotel room. I had feelings for him too, so I didn't refuse. The sofa was narrow, and I had to cling to the boy's lean waist to keep from falling... Inexperienced and crazy. A fire rose in my heart. I couldn't watch any longer and pushed the door open. "She's lying..." Caleb Hunt, my brother in name. Did you forget everything? I was the one who fed stray cats with you. I was the one who brought you water when you played basketball. And I was the one who abandoned all reserve to do intimate things with you. Before I could finish, rows of comments suddenly appeared in mid-air. [Lol, the female side character is still worried about the male lead. Actually, he just got bored after sleeping with her and is faking amnesia to dump her.] [What amnesia? Just a mutual game. Side character, you are just a pawn in our main couple's play.] [The heroine is so good at this. One 'baby' makes me weak, let alone the male lead, who is about to be hooked.] [Did anyone notice the female side character's walking posture? She's obviously still in pain. The male lead really showed no mercy.] [Eh, a virgin boy has no control, just treat it as practice to give the heroine a better experience later~] I froze instantly. 2 Five years ago, I met Caleb Hunt for the first time. He followed a woman dressed flamboyantly and moved into my house openly. My mom passed away early. To take care of me, my dad hadn't remarried all these years. But somehow, his mind was messed up by this mother and son. I didn't eat at home for a month straight, making it clear I wouldn't give them a good face. Until I stumbled upon Caleb being punished by his mother, Miranda, kneeling in the living room. The woman had curly hair, red lips, and a floral dress—a very trendy look at the time. But the slaps on Caleb's face were merciless. "How many times have I told you to find ways to please Zoey (original name: Xie Zhiyu)? The Xie family only has this one daughter. If her dad divorces me because of her, I will never forgive you!" "You little burden. If I didn't have you, I would have married into a wealthy family long ago." Miranda raised her voice. "From now on, for every day she doesn't come back to eat, you starve for a day!" Being in puberty, Caleb grew very tall but didn't have much meat on him. From a distance, he looked like a thin bamboo pole that would fall with a gust of wind. In the end, I couldn't bear it and rushed over to shield him. "I hate you, it has nothing to do with your son." "From now on... I will come home to eat on time." After getting into the same high school, Caleb silently pursued me for two years. We held hands secretly and kissed under streetlights. Unlike his gentle and somewhat dull personality, Caleb's kisses were domineering and suffocating. So was the strength of his hugs, as if trying to merge me into his blood and bones. I thought this was love, so I gave my all defenselessly. But the comments told me that this world is a sweet romance novel, and Caleb is the male lead. And I am the vicious stepsister hindering him from being with the heroine. Lily switched to the gentle girlfriend channel in a second. "Zoey, I know you never approved of me and your brother, but we are not kids anymore. Siblings should also keep an appropriate distance." "Caleb, what do you think?" Caleb's gaze shifted between the two of us, asking hesitantly: "She... is my sister?" Receiving Lily's affirmation, he smiled weakly. "Zoey, right? Thanks to your sister-in-law for saving me. You should thank her." The comments were all cheering. [This two-faced heroine is so satisfying! From having a crush on the male lead since freshman year to saving him by chance now, pretending to be his girlfriend to get close... shipping them so hard!] [The male lead is the real player. Love at first sight with the heroine, knowing better than anyone she's lying but not exposing her, willingly falling into her sweet trap.] [Next, the female side character should go crazy. According to the plot, she pushes the heroine down hard, loudly clarifies her identity, and calls the male lead a scumbag who slept with his stepsister and won't admit it.] [Then she gets despised by the male lead. There are others in the ward; doesn't the male lead need to save face? While apologizing, he becomes more determined to dump the side character.] [Although I feel sorry for the heroine baby, I have to admit that only with the side character constantly acting up can her relationship with the male lead progress further.] The hand I reached out stopped in mid-air. Thinking for a moment, I suppressed my anger. When I spoke again, my voice was hoarse. "Caleb Hunt, do you really have amnesia?" "I hurt my head and don't remember anything." Caleb looked apologetic. "Is there... anything wrong with what Lily said?" If the comments were true, then from the moment the car accident happened, Caleb had decided to play this act to the end. Why didn't I realize his acting skills were so good before? Huge disappointment surged up. It felt like a hole had opened in my chest, the wind from outside blowing in, shockingly cold. "She's right. You two are a couple." I took a deep breath, having recovered my calm. "As for you and me, we are indeed siblings, real siblings." Caleb's face visibly changed. "What's wrong?" I asked with a smile. "Are you feeling unwell?" "Do you need me to call a doctor... brother?" Caleb's eyelashes trembled heavily, his cold white fingers grabbing my sleeve, his voice hoarse. "...What did you call me?" [What's going on? The female side character should go crazy and make a scene at the hospital, making the male lead disgusted with her.] [Damn, what is the side character doing? Please don't intervene in our little couple.] [This stepsister has some tricks. Retreating to advance, knowing how to use a man's guilt. She's not as stupid as the book says.] [Come on, even if the vicious female side character smartens up, it doesn't change the fact that she's vicious. She's probably holding back a worse move, preparing to deal with the heroine secretly.] 3 I rarely called Caleb "brother" because he hated that identity. He said more than once how much he wished he had met me earlier, so he would have stopped his mom from marrying my dad no matter what. The constraints of worldly ethics forced us into an underground romance. "Sister-in-law, I'll leave my brother to your care." My nails dug into my palm, a sharp pain. My brain was clearer than ever. I said in a light tone: "I'm not feeling well and need to go back to catch up on sleep. I have a dinner with some close classmates tonight." While speaking, I inadvertently pulled aside my collar, revealing dense marks on my neck. A trace of hatred flashed quickly in Lily's eyes, and she said pointedly: "I heard you were close to a few boys in class. Girls should focus on self-respect and self-love. Like me, I only have your brother." I turned and left. "I don't have a boyfriend, so knowing more guys is harmless." ... The dinner that night was at a downtown hotel. Guided by the waiter, I entered the lobby. Just in time to bump into Caleb, gauze wrapped around his head, intimately arm-in-arm with Lily, introducing her to everyone. I could barely maintain the polite smile on my face. Bringing her out to show off before his injury is even healed? Is he so impatient to show off their love? Then what were our days of underground romance? Lily caught a glimpse of me out of the corner of her eye, a gleam flashing in her eyes. "Everyone's here. While waiting for the food, let's play Truth or Dare." The comments were excited. [Here it comes, here it comes! The famous scene where the male and female leads seal their love with a kiss is coming.] [The heroine is a master at this game. She'll spin the bottle to herself later, and the punishment happens to be—deep kiss a person of the opposite sex present for three minutes.] [Hehehe, after kissing the heroine, the male lead will realize his feelings for the side character are just sibling affection, and his feelings for the heroine are lover's love and heartbeat.] [Then the side character witnesses the whole thing, heartbroken, gets drunk and falls on the roadside, getting molested by a homeless man. Hahaha deserves it! Just thinking about that scene feels good!] [Kiss quickly, kiss quickly! The heroine's young uncle is coming to catch them soon. That's a ruthless character. Later he turns dark and becomes the big villain, almost killing the male lead.] "Let me spin the bottle." I scanned the comments quickly and pressed down on Lily's wrist. "I haven't played this before. Let me try, sister-in-law." Calling her "sister-in-law" made others tease. "People with partners should go easy on us single dogs." "Really didn't expect you two, who seemed unrelated, to be together." While Lily was shy, I took the bottle and spun it hard. As long as it's not Lily, I thought. A minute later, the bottle mouth wobbled and pointed at me. Someone cheered, "Dare! Deep kiss a person of the opposite sex present for three minutes! Woohoo~" This was truly unexpected. My gaze swept over the boys' faces one by one, desperately thinking of a way out. The comments sneered at me. [The side character will definitely choose the male lead. Choosing to be a homewrecker of all things, disgusting.] [Ahhh I'm so mad! If it weren't for the bitchy side character interfering, the main couple would be kissing passionately by now. Who understands? The moment it pointed to the side character, the heroine baby looked like she was going to shatter.] [The side character's desire to kiss the male lead is written all over her face. Having evil thoughts about her brother in name, I'm gonna puke.] Caleb looked at me with a hint of hope. "Choose me. A sister kissing her brother is nothing." Vetoed by Lily with one vote. She blinked her watery almond eyes, acting coquettish and wronged. "I don't agree. Caleb, only I can kiss you, not even your sister." "I heard long ago that Zoey is the social butterfly of the class. Nine out of ten boys here have close relationships with her—" Lily smiled at me. "Just pick anyone. It's the 21st century; a kiss won't kill you." I have a cheerful and easygoing personality. Both male and female classmates like to take me along when going out. Being popular actually became Lily's reason to arrange me. I looked at Caleb, only to see him turn his face away, showing no intention of speaking up for me. A girl spoke up to relieve the situation. "Alright, alright, the content of this dare is indeed a bit too much. Zoey can drink instead of doing the dare." But Lily was relentless. "Zoey, aren't you a buzzkill? If everyone breaks the rules like you, what's the point of playing this game?" The comments were also scolding me. [Exactly, if you can't afford to play, don't join!] [Heroine baby is so cool! Dealing with this scheming side character requires being tough, letting her know being a mistress isn't that easy!] [It's not like she hasn't kissed before. Who is the side character pretending to be a chaste woman for?] [Needless to say, it must be the male lead. Schemed to point to herself, but failed to kiss the male lead. The side character must be dying of regret inside, right?] While we were in a stalemate, a knock sounded on the door. The waiter brought in a man in a sharp suit. "Mr. Yan, this is the private room where the young lady is." Lily stood up like a mouse seeing a cat. "Un... Uncle." Her attitude was respectful, more like treating a superior than a relative. I sized up this big villain who was said to have almost killed the male lead. Julian Yan, twenty-nine years old. Deep, cold brows and eyes, carrying an aura of authority. "He counts as a person of the opposite sex present, right?" I steeled my heart, and without waiting for an answer, grabbed the man's tie, forced him to lower his head, and kissed him hard. "I choose him." 4 Everyone in the room gasped in unison. The comments scrolled wildly. [The side character has lost her mind! Daring to offend the villain, she'll be dead in minutes.] [Think you're in a drama? Domineering CEO falls in love with me Mary Sue plot? Keep dreaming.] [Guess the side character is going offline early. Good, good, good, no one will interfere with our little couple anymore.] Julian remained motionless. Neither accepting nor resisting, only his eyes gradually deepened. Until my face burned red, and I apologized to him: "Sorry, I lost a game..." He ignored it, his gaze passing over me to land on Lily. "Passing by after work, your dad asked me to give you a ride." Lily carefully gauged his expression. "Uncle, I want to play a bit longer, can I?" Julian nodded faintly. "Okay, then I'll head back first. Be safe." Lily was overjoyed. "Thank you, Uncle!" As he brushed past Julian, the corner of his mouth hooked into a sneer. "Are all girls who just graduated so impatient like you?" He was insinuating something. I felt like I had been slapped across the face from afar, humiliation sweeping through my body. [Wait, something's wrong. In the original book, the uncle saw something unusual between the main couple and forced the heroine to go home. The heroine had to sneak out at night to meet the male lead.] [Who can resist daughter's soft voice acting coquettish? In my opinion, the CP of daughter and uncle is also kinda shippable... really, why can't female-oriented novel heroines have them all!] [Agree with above. In contrast, the side character is embarrassed enough to want to crawl into a hole hahaha. If the uncle scolds, scold more!] [The side character is just easy. Looking forward to her intimate interaction with the homeless man later, hehe~] [Why do I feel something is wrong? The villain is always unreasonable, why is he so easy to talk to today? And I saw his hand move, seeming to stuff something into the side character's pocket.] The last comment was quickly drowned out by overwhelming mockery directed at me. Lily was quite proud. "Zoey wants to be my aunt? Too bad my uncle doesn't like your, uh, overly loose type." From the moment Caleb saw Julian mock me, his tense body suddenly relaxed. At this moment, his face turned cold. "Your sister-in-law is right. The most important thing for a girl is self-respect and self-love. Besides, he is so much older than you—I will tell Mom and Dad about tonight. Think about how to explain it!" The surrounding classmates looked at their noses and hearts, not wanting to intervene in our family affairs. I downed a drink and retorted. "Why can you fall in love, but I can't find someone to kiss?" Leaning forward, I whispered in his ear: "I just like guys older than me. Don't you know this best, brother?" Caleb instantly died down. He pulled up my strap that had accidentally slipped, his fingertips inadvertently brushing over my delicate shoulder and neck. His Adam's apple moved. "...Sit properly. What do you look like slumping around?" Lily, who witnessed everything, accidentally broke a glass. I did it on purpose. She stole my boyfriend, and I won't let her have an easy time. In the second half, Lily exchanged a look with a boy, seizing every opportunity to make me drink. By the end, I was drunk and incoherent. Perhaps to prove our pure sibling relationship, Caleb pushed me off him hard. "Lily, I'll take you home." Lily was happy but troubled. "What about Zoey? I'll ask someone free to take her. It's not safe for a girl to walk alone at night." "She treated you like that, even forced a kiss on your uncle, yet you still care about her regardless of past grievances." Caleb was somewhat moved. Then, sweeping a warning glance at the boy behind Lily who was making me drink, he said: "But don't worry about her. Let her fend for herself. After all, only by learning a lesson can she remember, right?" The boy left resentfully. Even though I was prepared, hearing Caleb's tone so cold, my heart still ached to the point of suffocation. If I really get assaulted by a homeless man as the comments say... Will he regret leaving me alone? Classmates left in twos and threes. I slowly opened my eyes. The comments were excited as if it were New Year's. [Ahhh, the main couple finally gonna have their first time!] [The heroine takes advantage of the alcohol to force herself on the male lead. The male lead half-refuses half-accepts... The only pity is that the male lead has already slept with the side character, otherwise I would ship harder.] [Is that the same? The side character is just a tool for venting. The male lead stayed with her in a cheap hotel for a hundred bucks, but with the heroine, it's a presidential suite.] [The main course begins! Once the male lead tastes the heroine's goodness, the last bit of guilt for the side character will disappear, discarding her like an old shoe in minutes.] ...
