My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 69

Prev | Directory | Next

At the time, Tan Ran had thought her dream guy was genuinely upset because the guy had interrupted his practice, so she hadn't thought much of it. Until that afternoon when her dream guy hesitated before coming over to talk about everything the guy had done.

To sum it up in one sentence: "He's not a good person."

Honestly, the way her dream guy acted made it look like he was lowkey jealous. And with the way he was acting, it was no wonder Tan Ran was reading too much into it.

If he didn't like her, then why did his face darken when he saw another guy confessing to her? And why did he specifically talk to her about it afterward? Could it really just be out of pure kindness?

No matter how Tan Ran tried to think about it, she never would have guessed the real reason.

Now that she knew everything, as she looked back at what had happened before—the thing she had been stuck on for so long—the idea that her crush was jealous shifted to the older brother protecting his younger sister.

Just imagine: which older brother would calmly watch a jerk get close to his sister and even confess to her in front of everyone? Of course his face would turn dark!

And as for the stuff he said about the guy later? That just made sense now—he was just worried his sister might get tricked.

Tan Ran had been overthinking, imagining how her dream giu liked her. She couldn't accept it and froze up, holding her head. "Ah! How is this even possible?!"

Her dream guy—no, her older brother—was startled by her reaction and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I never knew how to say this before."

Plus, their parents had said they were worried she wouldn't take it well, so they decided to keep it from her for now.

But he was sure, Tan Ran was his sister. He even went to check with her foster parents, verifying the details of when they found her, and did a DNA test to make sure—Tan Ran was definitely his biological sister.

Her foster parents had never told her she wasn't their biological child, so they were worried she wouldn't handle the truth well, which was why they hadn't told her sooner.

But now, if he'd known Tan Ran would misunderstand like this, he definitely would've told her the truth right away.

Yet, the regret didn't matter anymore. He just hoped Tan Ran wouldn't be too hurt by it.

But... that hope? It didn't seem like it was going to happen.

Meanwhile, the viewers on the livestream were absolutely stunned.

"Oh my god, what is this dramatic plot twist? No wonder Qingqing kept hiding it and never told Tan Ran directly, even told her not to like the guy. Who would've thought that the person you like is actually your biological sibling?!"

"Wow, if it were me, I'd be a mess too. I'd need to ask my mom, 'Do I have a long-lost older brother or something?'"

"Okay, I asked, got a good smack from my mom, and now I feel much better."

"Upstairs, are you trying to make me die laughing? Seriously, I thought of a lot of crazy reasons, but I never guessed it'd be because of this! No wonder Master Jiang always looked like that."

Jiang Yiqing: Don't cue me. I'm not talking.

Tan Ran was still in a daze, like she was in some kind of dream. Listening to her dream guy... no, her real brother speak, she suddenly felt a little annoyed.

She didn't want to hear any more explanations. What was the point? It couldn't undo the pain she felt!

And the worst part? He didn't even do anything wrong. Everything he did was for her sake. All of this was just a misunderstanding that she had created in her own head!

Thinking about it made Tan Ran feel even more frustrated. Who could she blame? She couldn't blame anyone!

With a pained expression, Tan Ran hung up the phone. Then she realized she was still connected to the livestream. Looking at Jiang Yiqing's face, she immediately let out a wail. "Master Jiang, I'll never doubt you again! Boohoo..."

Jiang Yiqing: "..." There's no need for this, really.

Tan Ran needed some time alone to process everything. After saying that, she quickly ended the call.

She locked herself in her room and cried in secret. Meanwhile, her older brother wasn't having a great time either. He rushed to find their parents and explained everything that had happened.

Her parents were furious. "Why would you do things that would cause misunderstandings? Now look at the mess. How are we going to get our daughter to recognize us again?!"

Her older brother was completely helpless. He saw Tan Ran as just a normal person... well, maybe a little more than a normal friend, but at the time, he truly believed she was his long-lost sister. He never imagined something like this could happen!

He regretted it so much. His regret was deep enough to turn his insides blue.

Now that Tan Ran knew the truth, there was no need to keep hiding it. He figured the longer they waited, the worse it would get.

So, while Tan Ran was still trying to process everything, her older brother showed up at her house with their real parents. Her foster parents called her out and, seeing how she was still processing everything, said, "Your real parents have been looking for you all these years. They've been through a lot."

It was a subtle reminder to Tan Ran that, even if she couldn't accept it right away, she shouldn't hurt them in the process.

Her foster parents, who had raised her all these years, had selfishly hoped Tan Ran wouldn't want to recognize her real parents. They were afraid she'd distance herself from them.

But after hearing about how hard Tan Ran's real parents had tried to find her, they pushed aside their selfish thoughts. They knew their daughter well—she wouldn't reject them just because she found her real parents. So, they decided to let her recognize them.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Tan Ran, nervously waiting for her response.

Tan Ran's nose twitched as she fought back the tears. "I... I need some time to process this."

Her real parents felt a little disappointed, but since she hadn't outright rejected them, they were relieved. That was a good sign, so they started feeling better.

The whole family exhaled in relief, but her older brother was still anxiously watching her, carefully saying, "Tan Ran, I..."

Tan Ran remembered the awkwardness from earlier and instantly flushed red. She quickly cut him off, "Don't bring up that stuff from before!"

Her older brother awkwardly scratched his nose. "..."

"You can't blame yourself for this," Tan Ran said honestly. "But from now on, if you're not interested in other girls, don't do things that might cause misunderstandings."
