[Secret crush + childhood sweethearts + fostered together + rekindled love] Sensitive, lively, crybaby darling girl x gentle, manipulative older brother. Sc, HE.
She said something childish, and he remembered it for ten whole years.
Ten years later, he loses his family and has to live under someone else's roof.
Everyone praises him for being gentle and sensible. Only she knows how two-faced her older brother is behind closed doors.
In early autumn, after the osmanthus blossoms have fallen, he corners her against a wall.
“Little sapling,” he says, lowering his head to kiss the scar on her forehead. “Your big brother will wait for you.”
You just grow as freely as you please. I'll find my way to you.
The book is particularly good-looking. The male protagonist is emotionally stable. He and the female protagonist grew up together. It's so warm. Family ➕ love. The plot is not draggy. I read it twice and I like it very much.
