When Chen Kesheng was young and naive, she fell in love with her stepbrother.
She was ten when she moved with her mother to marry into the Yu family and met Yu Jiang. The young man was wild and unruly, yet gentle only with her.
She couldn't help falling for him.
From then on, Chen Kesheng followed Yu Jiang everywhere, calling him "big brother" this and "big brother" that, and he always answered patiently.
Just when she thought that being close to him would give her the advantage, Yu Jiang rejected her without mercy.
The day he realized she liked him, the young man, now a grown adult, furrowed his brow. His sharp features were like a dull knife cutting into her heart.
He said, "I heard about how you like me."
He said, "But you're not my type."
He said, "You're still too young to understand these things."
Chen Kesheng cried.
With tears in her eyes, the girl ran away. She was sixteen that year. Her broken heart dissolved into the night wind and vanished across the earth.
She never returned to the Yu family, and did everything she could to avoid Yu Jiang.
Even so, Chen Kesheng still hoped that Yu Jiang would come and comfort her. In the end, all she got was his growing distance.
*
Chen Kesheng never imagined Yu Jiang would pursue her.
He was already working, yet he messaged her every day, asking how she was, what she had eaten and done that day, and whether she had enough money.
Chen Kesheng was fed up. That little crush she'd had on her big brother as a girl had long since faded, leaving only frustration at his excessive concern.
"I'm fine. Stop messaging me every day. I'm busy."
"...I understand."
Yu Jiang said he understood, but his actions continued to say otherwise.
Until Chen Kesheng could take no more.
"Can you stop being so annoying, big brother? I have my own life. I'm not even your real sister, so why are you interfering in everything? Just take care of yourself!"
