[Blurb]
She'd barely graduated from college when a big surprise landed in her lap.
Her sister, whom she hadn't seen in over a decade, asked her to take care of her son as soon as they met.
Jiang Xinran tilted her head, wondering what terrible sin she must have committed in a past life to end up with a sister like this.
A fourteen-year-old boy stood there, stubborn and restrained, his lips pressed tightly together. He looked like a stray dog, abandoned and with nowhere to go.
Jiang Xinran felt sorry for the boy, so pitiful and helpless, then turned and walked away.
-
That was the second time Cheng Xingye had seen Jiang Xinran.
But he never expected there would be a third.
Sixteen-year-old Cheng Xingye crouched in the principal's office, bruised and swollen, waiting impassively for the insults, beating, and disciplinary action to come. But the expected harsh, elderly voice never came. Instead, he heard the click-clack of high heels on the floor, followed by a somewhat familiar, yet unmistakably unfamiliar, woman's voice.
"Your school owes me an explanation. How did a well-behaved, sensible child like ours turn into a delinquent after just two years at your school?"
Jiang Xinran took him to her city with a look of distaste, brought him home with a look of distaste, and played his guardian with a look of distaste.
She found fault with Cheng Xingye in every way she could, from his clothes, studies, and personality to, above all, his background.
Cheng Xingye knew Jiang Xinran hated him, but he didn't care. Nothing could be worse than being abandoned three times. Besides, hadn't he already found a "home"?
She was the one who had brought him in herself.
But now that she'd taken him in, she shouldn't even think about letting him go.
A stray dog is fierce, but utterly devoted to its owner.
"One rainy night, years later, Jiang Xinran was pulled into Cheng Xingye's arms. He was drunk.
"Sis..."
"Why can't you see me?"
"I love you too..."
