The first time Lin Jiamu heard the name Zhou Ling was from her assistant.
"That young master from the Zhou family has money and a terrible temper. Best not to cross him."
Lin Jiamu didn't think much of it, until she saw him at an event. The nineteen-year-old wore a racing suit, silver-white hair, and a glinting earring. He was leaning against a wall, drinking ice water.
She took one look at him, matched the name to the face, and thought:
What a show-off little brat.

They met for the second time at a friend's party. The young man stood before her, his voice clear and bright, with a slight rasp at the end.
"Big Sis, you're so much prettier than those pictures online!"
Lin Jiamu chuckled, saw straight through his intentions, and barely spared him a glance. "That's a terrible way to hit on someone."
The young rich heir wasn't about to accept rejection. He sent flowers, showed up wherever she went, and offered her career opportunities. His grand gestures left Lin Jiamu laughing helplessly.
"The kid just wants to play." She casually set the card from the flowers on the table, but then heard from a mutual friend about the side of him hidden behind his rebellious facade.
Underneath it all, he was just a kid who longed for other people's attention.
She couldn't help feeling sorry for him.
/
Lin Jiamu started paying attention to him, but only as a little brother. Young feelings can change in an instant, and she didn't take his affection seriously.
In the height of summer, she heard he had a race coming up and casually sent him a small gift. Zhou Ling's reaction surprised her.
Faced with her kindness, he froze in place, unable to react for a long time. She often teased him for being so innocent, but deep down, she knew just how much he longed for her attention.
She suddenly thought: Having a little brother to look after might not be so bad.
/
After yet another failed confession, Zhou Ling leaned back on the sofa and drained his glass.
"She's saying I'm too young again. How am I too young? She never takes my feelings seriously!"
"She never believes me. Every time, she shuts me down by saying, 'Kids shouldn't talk nonsense!'"
His friends joked around and urged him to give up while he still could. Zhou Ling kicked at one of them. "No way. I like her."
"I'm not letting go. If I do, someone else will take my place!"
/
Zhou Ling knows his older crush well. He knows when she'll soften and when she'll back away.
She has too many reservations and doesn't dare admit how she feels, so he keeps moving forward. When she takes one step, he takes ninety-nine, waiting for her to realize that his feelings have never been a childish game.
He spent three years pursuing her under the pretense of being her little brother, but their relationship started to feel more and more different. Until one morning, she pushed him awake...
All right, he was taking advantage of the situation a little. But she was the one who came close to him, and he had no reason to refuse.
As he carried her off to shower, he heard her mutter, "Lin Jiamu, have you lost your mind? You're really sleeping with someone so much younger than you?"
He hurriedly covered his face, afraid she'd see his smug grin. What if she didn't want to take responsibility?
To keep her from having second thoughts, Zhou Ling went all out, from proposing to getting engaged. But the registry office brought him crashing back to earth.
"Sir, you're not yet of legal age to marry."
That day, Zhou Ling walked out of the marriage registry in tears. "Big Sis, can you wait for me? It's only a few more months..."
"I'm already your dog. Don't go off with someone else!"
★ Reading tips / possible triggers:
1. Age difference when they meet: big sister is 26, little brother is 19.
Please don't read if this bothers you.
2. The characters aren't perfect. The female lead has a bit of a "knight-in-shining-armor complex," so please don't scrutinize her too harshly!
3. The female lead is a virgin; the male lead is not.
