My Sweetheart Treats Me Like a Stranger and Hates Me Again

[Two Male Leads + Both Pure + Secret Crush + Reunion After Years Apart + Older Man]

Five years later, when they meet again, nothing is as it used to be.

The first time they meet again, Ning Du blocks his way and asks, “So you don’t even recognize your big brother anymore, huh?”

All he gets in reply is a dismissive attempt to sever their ties: “I have no family, and certainly no big brother.”

The next time they meet, Ning Du forcibly “takes” him home, only to hear, “You’re really annoying.”

For Lu Shi’an, his peaceful life is suddenly shattered. Everything changes, yet somehow it feels like things have gone back to how they were.

This “big brother,” who isn’t related to him by blood, gradually takes over every part of his life, from what he eats and wears and where he lives to his relationships with other people.

Later, Ning Du holds Lu Shi’an, his eyes red from crying, and gently coaxes him. All he gets in return are endless, broken sobs.

Ning Du: It wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. I’d been planning this for a long time.

Lu Shi’an: I think I’ve fallen for someone I shouldn’t love, but I can’t control my heart. It won’t listen to me.
