The thing Chen Guanyan regrets most in his life is telling a filthy little boy, "I'm here, big brother," when he was twelve.
Those words tied him down for the rest of his life.
No matter how dirty or exhausting the construction work was, he gritted his teeth and got through it. He paid off one debt after another, little by little. He shouldered his younger brother's tuition, living expenses, and medical bills.
He thought he could bear it all.
But he forgot that Chen Guanzou would grow up too.
Once grown, Chen Guanzou stopped calling him "big brother." Or rather, the way he called him changed.
When those deep black eyes looked at him, there was something in them that he shouldn't see, didn't dare look at, and couldn't understand.
Until one day, Chen Guanzou pinned him against the wall, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible:
"Chen Guanyan, do you know I'm not your little brother?"
Brothers, no blood relation
Mutual pining, but neither will make the first move
Poverty / healing / bittersweet / hardship may not lead to happiness
One-on-one, happy ending
