My Deaf Childhood Friend Brushes Me Off, but My Brooding Big Brother Is the One for Me

Sweet Romance | Both Leads Are Inexperienced | Second Male Lead's Redemption Arc

[Sunny Female Lead x Brooding, Sexually Intense Older Brother]

The day her childhood friend stood her up again, Ruan Xi's memories awakened.

It turned out she was the heroine of a tragic romance, destined to be abused in body and soul after saving her deaf childhood friend.

Ruan Xi found it tedious.

She was beautiful and rich. Why should she put up with this kind of treatment?

But when she stopped pursuing him,

the man who was always brushing her off and leaving her behind refused to let her go.

And the male lead's older brother seemed to look at her strangely, too...

Pei Chuan thought his life would always be like this.

He could only cling to familiar scents and stolen fabric, dragging himself through the rest of his days.

But he never expected it.

One day, the girl finally stopped chasing after Pei Yu.

And even more unexpectedly, one day she would walk into his room and discover his secret.

Watching her panic and try to run,

Pei Chuan touched her without restraint for the first time while she was fully conscious.

"So you've finally found out."

His large hand gripped her slender waist, his low, hoarse voice filled with obsession and madness.

"Xixi, from the moment your gaze turned to me, there was no way I could ever let you go."

Pei Yu had never thought Ruan Xi would stop wanting him.

But one day, she really stopped paying attention to him, caring about him, or even sparing him a glance.

At last, he began to panic.

The hearing aids he'd often taken out because he thought they were annoying stayed in place.

He wanted to win her back, but one night he saw his older brother leaving the girl's room with his clothes in disarray.

In that instant, Pei Yu felt the blood drain from his body.

"What are you doing?"

Pei Chuan revealed the shocking red marks on his neck and gave him a smile.

"Isn't it obvious? She's in love with me."
