Independent curator & architect
Yao Yanxi remarried with her mother at the age of seventeen and entered the Zhou family. She gained a stepbrother in name, Zhou Sichen, who was three years older than her.
On the same roof, a layer of fluttering kinship status draws an insurmountable forbidden line.
She is bright and eye-catching and is born to fish.
He is well versed in the sense of ambiguity and is good at throwing out subtle temptations to seduce people's hearts, but he always holds the initiative in his hands and cherishes himself first.
Zhou Sichen looks casual and unruly, his ruffianism is wrapped in a deep possessiveness, he speaks very few words, and is used to short sentences to test.
He would never argue when his thoughts were revealed, he would only use a low laugh to hide the surging desire in his chest.
There is no blood bond, but worldly vision tightly traps the two of them.
As we get together day and night, there are restrained temptations, inadvertent touches, sights colliding in the dark, and the feelings growing in the heart are filled with an unspeakable sense of taboo.
Reason repeatedly warned each other that they should abide by their boundaries, but their heartbeats went off the rails again and again.
After the college entrance examination, Yao Yanxi chose to stop his losses immediately, cut off all contacts, traveled thousands of miles away, and hid for five years.
Reunion at the art reception five years later.
As an architect, Zhou Sichen stopped the independent curator Yao Yanxi, gently pressed his thumb against her chin, and slowly raised it, forcing her to meet his gaze, leaving a slight gap between his fingertips and her soft lips.
"What are you hiding from?"
Yao Yanxi's eyes flashed with a seductive smile, and he still managed to pull with ease.
"Mr. Zhou is overthinking."
"Really?" There was an undercurrent in Zhou Sichen's eyes, carrying the obsession that had been suppressed for many years, "I escaped cleanly five years ago.
Now, do you plan to continue hiding? "
Others only saw the harmonious brother and sister, and no one knew that for countless dusk and long nights, they were separated by an artificially drawn forbidden line, repeatedly ups and downs between reason and greed.
The throbbing that was forcibly suppressed at the age of seventeen returned with a vengeance after five years.
This time, Zhou Sichen would not let her escape.
Purpose: True love should never be bound by false names; only by recognizing your heart clearly in the pull of desire and reason, being sober and self-sustained, and being loyal to your true heart can you find your destination.
