My Secret Crush is My Brother's Best Friend

[Let's break up.]

I sent a message to my online dating partner and blocked his contact information.

After half an hour, my brother's best friend, Edward, stood at the door to my room, looking at me with resentment.

"What do you mean? Are you playing around without taking responsibility?"

My crush was Edward, my brother's best friend.

Since I became infatuated, I secretly vowed to win him over.

When I went to college, I confessed to him, but he rejected me.

"You're still young. Focus on your studies first."

"Am I considered young when I am in college?"

His way of turning me down seemed to be coaxing me. I knew it.

But I wouldn't give up.

I knew he liked to play a martial arts online game, so I planned to start from there.

"Although I can't handle you in reality, can't I handle you in the game?"

After several times of interactions, he and I formed a bond in the game.

We were online game dating partners who would never meet each other in person.

We promised not to interfere with each other's real life, but we must inform the other party and end the online dating relationship if there was someone we loved or wanted to date in real life.

In the game, I was a mature urban beauty, who was one year younger than him.

"In reality, I am ten years younger than him. He watched me grow up."

The relationship that only I knew about had lasted for four years.

Today, my brother suddenly mentioned something while eating. He said, "Edward, the brat, seems to be in a relationship."

I, who had been eating food, paused. Feeling disappointed, I had a sense of falling, but I tried to smile stiffly.

"When did this happen? Why didn't Edward mention it?"

There was a trace of luck in my heart. "Maybe Edward's so-called relationship is with me on the internet?"

"Maybe he wants to meet me on the internet in person and date me."

"He said that he had been liking that girl for two years. He plans to confess recently. He hid it from me. I will..."

"Did he say who he likes?"

"Maybe it's me?"

I was nervous.

"She seems to be the campus belle from our high school. When he started his business two years ago, the campus belle happened to submit her resume. The timing matches. I see that they have a close relationship..."

I didn't know what my brother said later.

I only heard buzzing sounds in my head.

We agreed that we would inform each other if we liked someone.

He had been hiding it from me for two years.

I felt both aggrieved and angry.

Recalling the care and indulgence Edward showed me in the game over the past two years, I suddenly couldn't hold back my anger.

"Is it because he can't be with his goddesses in reality that she comes to find me to seek solace in the game?"

"But I do not favor everyone indiscriminately."

In a fit of anger, I sent him a message on WhatsApp after I was home.

[Let's break up.]

Then I blocked all his contact information, including the one in the game.

"That's how cool I am!"

"I am the queen. I am confident and shining!"

I was jumping and singing on the sofa while drinking wine.

"That's right. I am not that good at drinking and will get drunk easily after a few sips."

Despite being a lousy drinker, I wanted to drink.

Half an hour after I blocked Edward's contact information, the doorbell rang.

I staggered over and opened the door.

It was Edward.

"What do you mean? Are you flirting without taking responsibility?"

Edward slipped into the house directly, looking at me resentfully.

It was like I had cheated on him behind his back.

I extended my index finger and stumbled. I pressed the tip of my finger directly against his heart.

"What are you saying? When did I flirt with you? What responsibility do I have to bear?"

I laughed foolishly, picked up the wine, and drank it up.

"Clara, stop drinking!"

Edward snatched the bottle from my hands. He seemed to be angry.

"Why is he angry? Shouldn't I be the angry one?"

"I have been his backup in the game for two years."

"Can't I vent a little by drinking? "

I pushed him away and pointed at him.

My arm was swaying because of my drinking too much.

"It's none of your business. Go to your campus belle."

"What campus belle? Are you talking about Julia Brown? What happened to her?"

He asked three consecutive questions, indicating that he was nervous.

"Sure enough, he only has Julia in his heart. My daily concern for him in the game is like a joke."

"I don't know if it's because of the influence of alcohol." My nose suddenly felt sour. I burst into tears.

My crying made Edward a little at a loss.

He helped me to the sofa and put a pile of tissues in my arms.

"Clara, stop crying. Who bullied you? Tell me, okay? Treat me as your elder brother."

As soon as I heard his words, I cried even harder.

"I don't want you to be my elder brother. I don't need one either."

"If you want to be an elder brother, go talk to your father, Henry. Have him give birth to a sister for you. Why are you coming to me?"

"Jessa Doyle!"

It is perhaps because I cried too hard that Edward spoke urgently.

It was my game ID.

I always felt that my parents wanted me to be a beautiful and charming woman.

When choosing a game ID, I didn't hesitate as I chose such a name.

Hearing Edward shout out my ID, I instantly stopped sobbing.

At that moment, I was so helpless and anxious about being exposed.

"It must be a coincidence."

"He must know that I am nicknamed the contemporary Jessa Doyle, so he calls me like this."

"Well, that's right."

I quickly opened a new bottle of wine and drank it in one breath.

Edward didn't even have time to stop me.

"To put it simply, I have to drink wine and fall asleep now."

"This kind of unpreparedness and being exposed in front of others is so embarrassing."

In the end, I fell asleep.

But the fatal thing was that I didn't fall asleep instantly.
