Why Are You Crying? Big Sis Has Your Back

Synopsis [Mutual healing|A seemingly tough, affection-starved heroine × a depressed, taciturn hero] (One-on-one romance, no overpowered characters, no rebirth, no System, both are each other’s first and only) When they were children, Shen Zhou was Xia Qing’s little sidekick. She stood up for him, made him talk, and thumped her chest as she promised, “What are you crying for? Big Sis has got your back.” He was quiet and clumsy, unable to force out even a simple “thank you.” But whenever her hands got cold, he would quietly pass her a hot-water bottle wrapped in a towel. Then their family fell apart. She left, and he didn’t stop her. Years later, they met again on a rainy night. Shen Zhou had become a lawyer at a prestigious university, while Xia Qing was just a working girl who had dropped out of middle school. She couldn’t even pull a decent photo from her pocket. She turned to run, but he grabbed her by the wrist. Soaked to the skin, his eyes red, he asked her word by word: “Do you still want me?” Shen Zhou knew that his life had stopped in its tracks the day Xia Qing left.
