Beautiful Big Sister

[Working title for now. I'll change it if I think of something better.] (I) After moving, Ke Su met a younger man who lived alone. He was cool and handsome, and when he smiled, his eyes were clear and warm. But he usually kept to himself and didn't have many friends. Ke Su felt sorry for him, so she often made him delicious food. Sometimes, when she wanted to eat out, she made a point of inviting him along. Over time, he became her regular meal companion. Ke Su always thought of him as nothing more than her meal companion. Until one day... She had just returned from a meal with a blind date when the younger man pulled her into an alley and blocked her way. "Why did you go out to eat with someone else, Sis?" Ke Su's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. He stared at her, the corners of his eyes slightly red, like a big dog that had been abandoned. "I thought you invited me out to eat because you liked me, too." (II) The popular comic artist Jingchao recently started posting short comics on Weibo called The Pretty Big Sister Who Always Invites Me to Eat. At first, netizens and fans all thought he was drawing fan comics based on a Korean drama. But after following the series for a few installments, they realized he was drawing his own daily life. Everyone online knows how he feels, except the pretty big sister. His fans are going wild shipping them, and even made a Weibo supertopic: #Are Jingchao and the Pretty Big Sister Together Yet Today# Jingchao updates his comics like clockwork every day, and his fans are always waiting under his Weibo posts for a new dose of sweetness. But then he stopped updating for a whole week. Fans wondered if he had broken up with the pretty big sister and flooded his Weibo comments with questions. He didn't reply. Instead, he posted a message with the supertopic tag. --We're together. Couple: food blogger × popular comic artist Content warnings: 1. This should be a sweet, food-filled romance, and it's not very long. 2. Cohabitation. 3. As the synopsis says, it's an older-woman-younger-man romance. Dated November 22, 2022
