Chapter 2: Seemed to be able to see strange things (2/2)

An Xin Ran is indeed my meimei's name, but what about the ones on top of it?

Coldhearted type Bro-con meimei? And what's up with that ”bracket false” thingy!

I still could understand ”Coldhearted” a little, but.........”Bro-con”? Ha? Did my meimei had even the slightest bit of bro-con portion at all?

What kind of a joke is this, it's purely nonsensical.

From the day I was born till now, within my memories there's nothing that could exclaim 'An Xin Ran loves gege' that sort of miracle! Absolutely not! Not even when flipping through photos too! Don't even say that our siblings relationship was harmonized, it's not considered as normal, you even could say that it's terrible!

Never once spoiling cutely towards me before, and never ever saying before she wants to marry gege when she grows up, that sort of thing.

Even when young, the memories of us playing together weren't much at all, so she wouldn't even have the opportunity to even start liking me in the first place!

When we go to school we wouldn't walk together, and in a conversation she wouldn't mention about me, even if we were in the same room, she would treat me as an 'invisible person' and completely just ignore me. She won't just wrap herself up with a bath towel to appear before me after finishing bathing, won't dress provocatively at home, and even won't care about my lifestyle at all.

Even as we met coincidentally right now, she definitely wouldn't have intentionally waited for me all the way till now, but probably merely woke up to go to the toilet, or to go drink some water, when she coincidentally heard sounds of footsteps, and thought that it was some burglar who entered the house thus not wanting to switch on the lights and kept her wariness about..........yeah, it must be like that!

Ever since she started to recognize that she had a brother like me around, she had always been treating me with cold gestures always!

Don't even mention about the ending of two siblings marrying with german orthopedics involved as well, it would already be a divinely blessed honor if she was to invite this brother of hers to attend her wedding ceremony if she marries one day.

Look at her interrogating me right now, where did it seemed like she's a bro-con already?

Ah, I get it, that ”bracket false” probably would be referring to this title, which is purely nonsensical in the first place.

By the way, what is all this about, my imagination? It can't be that after my head was being struck, it caused my mentality to have problems already huh? Would it be better decision if I went to the hospital to have a checkup...........I remember that Laobà and the neurology's Doctor Wu were rather acquainted........

Xin Ran noticed my gaze, and glared at me fiercely whilst interrogating: ”What are you looking at?”

I hastily shook my hands and replied: ”Nothing, nothing at all.........it seemed to be only a bug.........um, why haven't you slept yet at such a late timing?”

”I just woke up to merely have a drink of water. Don't change the subject, why did you come back so late?”

”It's, that...........I accidentally slept at the park..........”

It shouldn't be considered a lie, I guess, I was considered indeed to be sleeping earlier, only that it's not being actively done so, but had suffered from a strange assault which made me passively sleep, that's all.........

Sigh, right now, remembering about it made me rather depressed, who did I pissed off exactly? I've only just sat in the park to rest for a while, while casually piecing some notes together which led to an unknown object attacking me..........when I thought till this point, I felt that the side of my head started to ache painfully once more, and subconsciously went to touch it.

Xin Ran stared fixedly at me for quite a while, maybe it's because she didn't feel that I was lying to her, for then she left from my vision afterwards to proceed down the stairs towards the living room.

Phew..........I secretly heaved a sigh of relief within my heart.

”I'm going to boil some water, you want anything to drink?”

”Oh, then just help me make a cup of coffee then, I've even forgotten to buy some coffee today to drink..........huh?”

My meimei was actually being caring towards me..........that's not scientific at all!

Footnotes:

wut = it is intentional, to substitute the chinese SFX 噶. (surprised sound)

—————————————

Okuribito (入殓师 )= A euphemism for nōkanshi, derived from the words okuru (”to send off”) and hito (”person”)

Nōkanshi = Japanese ritual mortician

TLDR: Jun Cheng's mom worked as a person who oversees people funerals, which was being held in a respectable way.

Although I understand the premise of the story is set in China, but the author indeed used this japanese term, so just think of it as a chinese-okuribito.

—————————————

The ending of two siblings marrying with german orthopedics involved as well = This 'Germany' gag subtly refers to a famous real CN story of a wincest, where the brother had his leg broken by his dad after their affair was being exposed, and after deciding on prices of bone reparation online, he chose the reputable Germany doctors, before fully healing his leg injury.

Now the proverb is used to term brave knights who were fearless to being caught of wincest, daring to go Germany to have their legs repaired.

Glossary:

-laoshi = a suffix, this meant 'teacher'
