Winter in Shanghai started my first day of the Final Semester. Winter is my favorite season, because I think it's the most romantic time when it's snowing. I'm Crystal Wong, a medical student at Fudan University in Shanghai.
"Xiao Xi hurry up, FanFan is waiting for you." Shouted my mother from downstairs.
Most of us Chinese have 2 names, a small name that our parents gave us and an official name written on the birth certificate.
Xiao Xi herself was my little name, as soon as the people closest to me called out to me. Xiao means small, my body is not too high. People say my shaky teeth make me look so cute.
My own family is not a descendant of doctors. My mother was an ordinary housewife and my father was a biology lecturer at Fudan University. The culprit started from my brother Hendery Wong, who graduated from Jinnan University majoring in medicine with the best grades, from which my mother always directed me to enter the medical world.
At first I didn't intend to be a doctor, I dreamed of being a pianist. I was even planning to enter the music faculty with my best friend Xiao Jing. But because I want to make my mom happy. So well, I threw away my dream and went to medical school. Besides my mother, there was someone who motivated me to enter the medical world, she was my first love.

When I finished getting ready, I ran down the stairs.
"be careful, you'll fall." cried my mother.
"Yes ma, I went well bye bye."
I went to Mom and rushed out. I hurriedly walked out to meet FanFan who was waiting for me.
Every day he comes to pick me up, not by car. We rode a bicycle together to campus, because the distance of our house to the campus is quite close. Not a romantic drama, we bring our own bikes. I don't want FanFan fans throwing stones at me when they see me being ripped off by FanFan.
"Morning? " Well, FanFan.
"Again." I said.
FanFan is not my girlfriend, FanFan himself is my best friend and neighbor, we grew up together. How not? his house is next to mine. From SD, Junior High School, even college we are always together.
FanFan's physique was attractive, he was handsome, he was also a cheap smile, it was just that he was a bit narcissistic and urbane. He even became an idol in our school. In college, he was no less popular. He got the nickname disney prince, because many say he looks like a Philips prince in a Disney fairytale.
With such a physique, it was easy for FanFan to get a beautiful woman. It's just that he's not interested, not dislike women, he's 1,000% normal really.
Actually fitting High School, FanFan once liked a girl in our school. He's a biology class 2 student, our class neighbor. The woman also likes FanFan, even they had a chance to date. But when we graduated High School, the woman left, lost like sea foam, somewhere left FanFan. That is what makes FanFan hurt and do not want to be in a relationship with other women again.
At first I was surprised by FanFan, he doesn't even look like a lot of smart kids, nerds, likes to go to the library, or the like. He looks more like a selebgram or youtuber. Even his Weinbo account already has a million followers.
(Weinbo\=twitternya chinese, a kind of social media similar to Instagram)
"Can he be smart? he never learned. I've never seen FanFan seriously study, or maybe he's studying hard at his house. Ah I don't know, maybe the DNA is yes, her brother is smart and her father is a doctor" I murmured in my heart.
When we enrolled at Fudan University, he passed the same major as me with the highest test scores. I never envied FanFan's cleverness because I was not a stupid student either, I entered the top 3 best students in the medical faculty. Of course FanFan is 1 level above me, he is ranked 1st.

*On campus*
(gege ; call for older brother)
"FanFan get good morning." campus junior yell to FanFan echoed like an Idol fangirl.
"Crystal Jejie would you please give this chocolate to FanFan? uh this milk too, blablabla.."
(Jejie: call for older sister)
Junior asked me this and that, sometimes I get annoyed with them, but I'm used to it. The worst thing is that the fans of FanFan, fans who are obsessed with FanFan, they once made a flat tire on my bike, made me sick to my stomach, a lot of deh. They even blasphemed me with harsh words.
"Wei don't you get tired of sticking to FanFan? go there, you Leech." I imagine how scary FanFan fans are like this.
Things like this are common to me, I am even immune and memorized by their behavior. Fortunately since we entered the upper semester, their behavior was somewhat reduced.
A lot of people say I'm lucky to know and be close to FanFan. But I think it's normal, maybe because we grew up together. Besides being good, there is one thing I really like about FanFan, he has a super duper handsome brother. His handsome brother is also my brother Hendery's best friend, they are even doctors at the famous Hospital in Beijing.

*At Lab*
While working on the report in the Lab, I couldn't stop thinking about big brother FanFan. I actually made friends with him on WeChat, but I was too embarrassed to say hello to him. Even in Weinbo he never updated. So, I took the time to ask FanFan.
"Eh, when's your brother coming home?" My toot.
"Maybe he won't be coming home this winter" FanFan said.
I was quite disappointed to hear FanFan's reply, one of my motivations for entering medicine was because of Liu YangYang, FanFan's older brother. Understand it's been 1 year I haven't seen him. Since becoming a resident doctor, my sister FanFan and my sister have rarely come home, and this year is the longest.
(ge \= appellation for older brother)
My first love was in High School even today. He is a good man and no less handsome than FanFan, only a little neater than FanFan.
"Why do you ask my sister?, I know, you still like her?" Ask FanFan.
Not new to FanFan, he knew that if I liked his brother, he was tired of me even being forced to keep me close to Yang ger.
"yes." I said with a sigh.
It's not the first time I've heard that Yang ged doesn't come home, he's too busy working in the hospital. Along with my leg she became a young Thoracic and Cardiovascular surgeon at one of the best hospitals in Beijing.
"Did she have a boyfriend in Beijing? are there many beautiful women in Beijing? ah, it's impossible. Don't think that macem deh Crystal..” ever thought like that in my mind, but I always motivate myself. Seeing the quiet character of Yang ger, it was impossible for him to be so.
I murmured, "I'm just delusional, The ger isn't Dery ger who's a prankster and a basket-eye."
I began to fantasize about Yang ger while smiling at my own smile. The sound of FanFan's phone woke me up from my imaginary world.
"Wei, your cell phone is ringing." I said.
"Here you go, keep me busy. Most From Mama." she replied.
I also took FanFan's phone in his bag. When I saw FanFan's phone screen I was stunned, and happy to see the name of the person who called. Brother FanFan called.
"Yang ger? Who called?" I said in my heart.
