Name: The Echo of a Secret Crush: The Cool, Reserved Older Brother Burns with Passion
Author: Heng Ye

Synopsis

[Childhood friends + mutual secret crushes + three-year age gap + growing up together + sweet teasing + both are virgins]

[Sweet girl who’s soft and cute, but stubborn and kindhearted × cold, sharp-tongued man with overwhelming possessiveness and a dark, brooding side]

Fu Qingsi has two older brothers, one by blood and one who isn’t.

The young man has fair skin, and his eyes always hold endless warmth and patience. His crisp white shirt makes him look even more cool and composed.

As a child, she kept a secret in her heart: she wished Li Zhiyu were her real brother.

When she grew up, she couldn’t help feeling relieved. Thank goodness he isn’t my brother.

*

A misunderstanding forced Fu Qingsi to push Li Zhiyu out of her life.

She changed her number, moved to a new home, and threw away everything connected to him.

She cried until her voice was hoarse.

“You’re not my brother! And I’m not your sister!”

“I hate Li Zhiyu! I hate you more than anyone in the world!”

Three years later, they meet again at the hospital.

The man has long since shed his youthful awkwardness and now wears a clean, immaculate white coat.

She avoids him, hides from him, and ignores him.

At last, the cool and distant man everyone knows can’t take it anymore.

“Three years wasn’t long enough? You’re still going to avoid me?”

*

Everyone knows that Li Zhiyu dotes on Fu Qingsi, more obsessively than a real brother would.

Now that the girl has finally grown up, she’s surrounded by a swarm of annoying guys.

The obsession he once kept hidden in his heart finally comes out in the open.

Taking advantage of his drunkenness, he pulls her forcefully into his arms.

After the man kisses her until her legs go weak, Fu Qingsi gazes at him in confusion.

“Why?”

Li Zhiyu’s eyes are bloodshot. He presses his fist against the floor-to-ceiling window, struggling to hold himself back.

“I’m not your brother.”

“I’m done playing the big brother!”

Only later does Fu Qingsi understand that his cool, restrained demeanor is just a facade. Reckless madness is his true nature.

[Repetition in circles is the beginning of romance] The setting of this book is good. Two-way crush on me + childhood sweetheart is my favorite type. The introduction is very attractive to me. This book is very suitable for me. The writing style of Ye Da is also quite good. I hope Ayu and Qingqing can get together soon, and want to see a sweet love 😳 Ended on July 26, 2025 🎉It ended so soon, so reluctant to let go 😢 Qingqing and Uncle Li will be happy forever. Qingqing, my brother will love you until death - Li Zhiyu

I don't know how many books I've read about chasing Ye Zi. From the big account to the small account, I got into the trap completely from Shen Yanci. This uncle Li is really good at playing, and his butt is so open [smirk][smirk], I finally understand why Ye Zi said there was a foreshadowing 🙂 It's too short, the end of chapter 125, I'll ask if I can continue to write some extras hehe😁

Overall, it was okay, except that the character of the male protagonist in the back was a bit broken. But this doesn't really affect the experience of reading the full text, it's okay.

Ye Zi's book must be praised with 5 stars. The ignorant love is the most fascinating. From school uniforms to wedding dresses, they are really envious.
