Please support the official version. Sharp-tongued shop owner × Calm, self-controlled professional Yi Yao and Chen Shixu once loved each other with all their hearts, then had a chaotic, bitter breakup. When they meet again, he’s a promising young lawyer, while she’s a vulgar, materialistic little shop owner. They’re always at each other’s throats, and denying what they really feel comes naturally. Yi Yao figures that’s just how she is. She’s loved and hated, and has no regrets. There’s no need to drag up old history and make a fuss over it. But Chen Shixu! The moment he sees her, he puts on a stern face and makes snide remarks at every turn. He even takes her child away to force her to come to his place. Chen Shixu: “This child doesn’t look like you.” Yi Yao: “Kids take after their dad. That’s normal.” Chen Shixu: “Doesn’t look like Zhou Li either.” Yi Yao sneered. “What, you think the kid looks like you?” Chen Shixu folded his arms and said nothing. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yi Yao felt a spiteful urge and couldn’t resist mocking him. “Don’t tell me you think the child is yours?” The man at the door pressed his lips into a thin line and didn’t say a word. When he didn’t react, Yi Yao continued her half-hearted taunts. “Don’t worry, the child isn’t yours. Given what our relationship was like back then, if I’d gotten pregnant, I would’ve had an abortion right away. I’d never have let the child be born.” Before she could finish, the silent figure at the door suddenly strode over. Before she could react, he grabbed her by the shoulders and pinned her firmly to the bed. Their younger days: On a dark night during a power outage, the two of them lay side by side on the floor. Hugging a pillow, Yi Yao looked at Chen Shixu. “Brother Shixu, what crazy thing do you plan to do when you’re an adult?” “Change my surname.” Chen Shixu’s voice was even. “What about you? What kind of... adult thing do you plan to do?” Yi Yao’s heart suddenly raced. How could he ask that with such a straight face? Before she could react, his silhouette suddenly leaned over her. The distance between them vanished in an instant. Her breath brushed his neck, and the tip of her nose accidentally grazed his Adam’s apple. Chen Shixu froze for a moment, then suddenly pulled an explicit comic from the bookshelf. “Have you been sneaking a look at this?” “No!” “This book wasn’t on this shelf before.” His voice gave nothing away. Yi Yao’s cheeks burned. “...Can’t I be curious?” In the dark, his gaze settled heavily on her, as if he meant to see right through her. After a long silence, he spoke: “Want to try it?” “...Try what?” “Kissing.” The full story is already written.

Your brother has amnesia.” Fang Yan repeatedly suspected that Chen Ji was faking it. But now he was polite, modest, quiet, and reserved. His old habit of peppering every sentence with profanity had disappeared without a trace. All he ever said was, “Sorry. Thank you. It’s only right.” Then one day, the two of them returned to a place from their past. On that little boat, Chen Ji forcibly kissed her. Faced with Fang Yan’s furious expression, the award-winning actor Chen remained unruffled. “Honestly, I’m sorry. I don’t know why, but I can’t help myself whenever I see you.” “...” * Fang Yan was twelve when she gained an older brother. Her brother, Chen Ji, was rebellious in appearance and ruthless in his actions. He didn’t seem like someone she could rely on. When she was sixteen, disaster struck their family. Overnight, they became siblings who had only each other to rely on. They were drowning in debt, and there was no money for tuition. Worry finally made Fang Yan sick and bedridden. Her unreliable older brother left her with just one promise. “Don’t worry. I, Chen Ji, will sell everything I own to put you through school until you’re eighteen.” The two teenagers depended on each other and grew up wild. Their love was tangled with suspicion, and they tore at each other from both sides. One day, Chen Ji pinned Fang Yan down, his voice hoarse. “Has he been here with you?” You are a bird, and I am the boat where you rest. Content warnings: Told out of order, with many long flashbacks.
