When Sui Wan was eight years old, she was brought over from a small town in Jiangnan and moved into the Lu family home.
Everyone in the Lu family doted on and protected her. Even the adorable two-year-old carefully held Sui Wan's hand and said sweetly, "Big Sister, don't be scared. Xiaoguai will protect you."
Only her young uncle, Lu Tingchuan, stood with one hand in his pocket and a handsome, cold expression, not even looking at her.
Sui Wan called out timidly, "Uncle."
Lu Tingchuan answered coldly and went upstairs, his steps slightly unsteady. The child's eyes were too bright, as if they could see through his secrets.
Sui Wan: This uncle isn't like the rumors. He's not that cold.
Later, on countless nights, this man held her tightly in his arms, as if drawing light from her.
Mini-scene:
Sui Wan was the Lu family's only girl, and plenty of people came asking for her hand in marriage.
The whole Lu family turned them down. Wanwan was still so young, after all.
Only the youngest boy stayed silent with his head covered. Everyone was surprised. "Don't tell me you want to eat swan meat too, you little toad? You need a beating."
The boy felt terribly wronged. He'd had to bear too much at such a young age. "Hmph, I saw Uncle secretly kissing Big Sister a long time ago."
Under the table, Lu Tingchuan took Sui Wan's hand. Their eyes met, and once she gave her approval, he raised their hands, fingers interlaced.
Everyone was stunned.
Sui Wan laughed and nodded in confirmation.
Later, when the Lu family learned the truth, they were furious. Not only had they somehow been demoted by a generation, but their carefully guarded cabbage had been quietly eaten by the family pig.
