Cool, sharp-tongued guy with a secret soft side x sweet girl who's cold on the outside but warm within
He doesn't realize he's fishing for her affection x she overthinks her way into falling for him
Campus band | Living under the same roof | One-sided love | Years in the making | No blood relation
Pei Che is famous in his circle for being rich, clueless, and a playboy. His grades have always been rock-bottom, and on top of that, he got swindled out of over a hundred thousand yuan while playing in a band.
So his furious father sent him back to the countryside to live with Grandma. On his very first day, he stumbled across a sickly "Lin Daiyu."
Frowning, he dumped her at the hospital and walked off without looking back.
When he got home, he found out that "Lin Daiyu" really was his little sister?!
Pei Che: "My mom's been working this hard since her divorce?"
Grandma smacked him on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? She's the neighbors' girl. Have you forgotten how you used to chase after her when you were little?"
Pei Che sneered. This sickly little thing? No way.
Later, Pei Che's friends from the city noticed something was off about him.
Friend: "Going out to party?"
Pei Che: "Can't. I'm taking my sister to a follow-up appointment."
Friend: "You're reading now?"
Pei Che: "A cookbook. My sister's anemic, so she needs nourishing food."
Friend: "Making music again? What about your dad's fortune?"
Pei Che: "...My sister likes listening to it."
Pei Che somehow went from a total flake to the perfect big brother.
His friends were baffled. "Are you raising a little sister or a girlfriend?"
Pei Che lifted his chin. "You savages without sisters wouldn't understand. Just wait till you experience it yourselves."
Friends: ...Isn't she just training him like a dog?

Ten-year-old Tong Yi arrived in an unfamiliar city. Her silent world was full of fear, but a warm hand took hers.
The boy showed her the flower fields covering the hills of Wucheng and sang her unfamiliar songs beneath the romantic starry sky.
But all that warmth disappeared after a pot of jasmine. The boy's traces faded like the wind, leaving nothing behind.
Seven years later, seventeen-year-old Tong Yi took candy from that same hand again. This time, she was determined to hold on to that free-spirited breeze.
Later...
A gust of wind flipped open the thin diary on the table. Pei Che's eyes landed on the neat handwriting: I think I'm falling for my brother.
Tong Yi hurried to cover it. Before she could speak, Pei Che chuckled.
The next second, he lifted her onto the table and pinned her there, making her look into his meaningful eyes. He said:
"What a coincidence. Your brother likes you too."
Additional note: The female lead is hard of hearing and can communicate normally with hearing aids. The leads do not date before reaching adulthood, and they are not related by blood.
