That's the title of the latest Chinese romance novel I'm reading and just completed today. Bascially its about how this guy and gal got to know each other thru online messenger by accident and became 干哥哥 and 干妹妹。But... The "brother" is actually younger than the "sister" by 1 year, pengz. But the because the guy is more mature and street smart than the gal, thus he became the elder brother.
The gal was torn between 2 guys who were wooing her - 1st guy was the brother's best friend and the other guy is attached with a gf. She feels the 1st guy is a nice guy but does not have feelings for him and though she is more attracted to the 2nd guy, but he is attached. The "brother" tells her that no matter what she decides and who she chooses, he will stand by her and support her though he did warn her about the 2nd guy could hurt her.
Eventually, they start spending time together when each other is free and the gal had rejected the 1st guy. The guy is still thinking of his ex-gf whom he gave up due to he felt the feelings had changed after they were in different schools and locations. However, he feels kindda guilty and still misses her. The gal developed feelings for him and professed her love to him one day and he was stunned. He held back because he felt that he might be betraying his best friend. But what the gal felt was，it was because he was thinking of his ex which was part of the reason.
The guy sent the gal back to her hostel and told her to give him some time and she replied [有些事情，不会等人。。。]. He felt his heart aching and when school re-opened the next day, he immediately told his best friend that he liked her and apologised, asking him if he can be with the gal. His fren told him to go ahead and he had no longer had feelings for the gal, telling him to treat her well and to forget his ex-gf.
The guy called up his ex-gf to ask how she was doing and the ex-gf told him that she's happy now because she has found the ideal person for her and forgotten about him. She encouraged him to be with the gal and told him to pursue his happiness.
So the guy immediately went to look for the gal to profess his feelings for her. Below is the extract which I felt was so touching...
Guy: 我要拿东西给你。
Gal: 嗯，那东西呢？
Guy: 在我拿这个东西给你前，你愿意拿一个东西跟我换吗？
Gal: 可以跟你换呀，但是你先说你要拿什么东西跟我换。
Guy: 你愿意用你一辈子的幸福来跟我换我想守护你、爱你、疼你一辈子的心吗。。。
OMG, its so sweet and touching loh. Its almost like a proposal except that he's asking her to be with him and be his gf. Haha, I think I am really such a hopeless romantic.
If one day a guy ever propose (err, I mean think only will have that 1 guy lah hor?) to me like that, I will sure break into tears and say yes! Lol... But doubt so lah, cos that guy's Mandarin kindda cannot make it, haha. He will sure stumble over the words and probably can't read some/most of the characters above. Even if he can, likely to be in English version also. Ok, digressing too much liao, oops.
Just wanted to share the above story as though its a simple love story but I really like the title and the paragraph that I extracted. 我也想这样牵着你不放。。。 =)
