Jiang Hua thought the new junior brother, Yan, looked just like the little rabbit she'd raised as a child: snow-white, spotless, sweet, and adorable.
She'd raised that rabbit for ten years, until the day her father flew into a rage and smashed it to death.
She never expected that ten years later she'd meet a boy who looked like her rabbit. So she began treating Junior Brother Yan as its stand-in, often feeding him and protecting him.
But one day, Junior Brother Yan actually confessed to her. She knew people and pets couldn't be together, but when she looked into those clear, glistening eyes, she still nodded.

Yan Shiyu thought his new "senior sister" was pretty nice. She was gentle-looking, often brought him food, and was always sticking up for him.
It just so happened that before he went undercover in the immortal sect, his mother had told him he was old enough to find a cultivation partner. Yan Shiyu thought, Then it'll be her. I'm only playing around, anyway, he thought dismissively at the time.

Six months later
"Jiang Hua, I won't let you talk to Xu Yizhong! You just can't!"
"Yan Shiyu, we're over. You have no right to tell me who I can talk to."
"Xu Yizhong has bad intentions toward you! He, he isn't a good person!"
"Enough. I don't need you to tell me who's good or bad. Junior Brother Xu is wonderful, at least better than you."
"He's better than me!? Do you have feelings for him?! Tell me, is that it?!"
"Yan Shiyu! You're being bad. Look at yourself right now."
"Jiang Hua (choking back a sob)... You have no heart!"
