Raising My Yandere Brother from Childhood

[Mute hero / childhood sweethearts / healing / coming-of-age romance]

Seven-year-old Xu Qinghe finally catches Lu Yan, the boy who is always rummaging through her family’s trash.

He is mute.

Little Xu Qinghe helps him again and again, bringing light back to his dim eyes.

At some point, she stops being the one who always takes the initiative, and he becomes the one who does;

Then one day, for some reason, she accepts one of their advances, and he finally loses control. He deals with his rival and locks her up.

“Be good, sweetheart. Hit me a little harder...”
