Xie Huai x Wen Nan
Restrained, reserved, mature older brother x outwardly sweet, inwardly quiet and reserved girl
When Wen Nan was young, her family went through a tragedy. Entrusted to Xie Huai by her mother before she died, Wen Nan moved into his home, where he looked after her as she grew up. Several years passed in the blink of an eye.
In Xie Huai's eyes, the little girl living in his home had always been as gentle and well-behaved as a little white rabbit.
That is, until Wen Nan got into college. Everything changed.
One day, by chance, he spotted a pink box in her backpack.
At that moment, years of self-control and propriety inside Xie Huai came crashing down.
Who would have thought? The girl who was always so plain and well-behaved had such a secret side.
He opened her WeChat and was greeted by an eye-searing wall of 99+ messages.
Every last one was from an unfamiliar boy.
A bunch of strange men had actually lured his sweet, innocent little sister into becoming like this.
But why was his little sister having so much fun chatting with them? Was this the kind of man she liked?
"You like them tall, strong, and fit?"
"Nannan, your brother's got that too. Why don't you look at me?"
"Are you... doing this on purpose to make your brother jealous?"
The year they first met, Wen Nan was fourteen and had just started eighth grade.
Her mother brought her into the Xie family villa.
She timidly looked up and met the arrogant, cool gaze of a teenage boy.
Young Xie Huai looked impatient and said flatly, "Where'd this kid come from? What a nuisance."
