[Black-Hearted Man × Little Fox]
1.
When she was sixteen, her father died of illness.
Yun Jiu was brought back to the Cheng family, where she met her biological grandfather, who had abandoned his wife and child fifty-four years earlier.
Her grandfather sat in a wheelchair, turning two antique walnuts in his hands. Pointing to the young man across from him, he said, "This is your brother."
Yun Jiu curved her lips into a sweet smile. "Hi, big brother."
The young man leaned against the window with a cigarette between his lips. At the sound of her voice, he lazily raised his eyes and replied, "Hey, kid."
Yun Jiu: "..."
Kid, kid? Your whole family is made up of kids!
2.
A pretty young girl transferred to Sixth High School.
Her surname was Yun, and word was that she was the long-lost granddaughter of Old Master Cheng.
She got good grades, but was always getting into trouble. After she caused trouble for the third time that semester, her teacher finally called her family in.
Yun Jiu stood with her head bowed in the office while her homeroom teacher scolded her, exasperated.
Just then, someone walked in from outside, carrying a faint scent of tobacco.
Cheng Huaian gently tugged Yun Jiu's ear and smiled at the homeroom teacher.
"Sorry, teacher. My kid's gotten into trouble again."
Yun Jiu: "..."
Who are you calling your kid?!
3.
Much later.
Rain fell from the sky as Cheng Huaian came to pick Yun Jiu up from school.
Wearing her school uniform, Yun Jiu walked up to the car and nervously held out an envelope.
"Big brother, someone gave me a love letter."
Cheng Huaian shot her a sidelong glance, stubbed out his cigarette, and wordlessly tore the envelope to shreds.
How could he let someone else have his kid?
What he didn't know was that the letter contained just one sentence:
Cheng Huaian, I like you.
#I crossed the swamp of forbidden desire just to run to you and hold you#
