The Little Boat Rocks and Sways

After her father passed away, Wen Yin followed her mother to seek help from her mother's old lover.

On their first night at the Chen family home, Uncle Chen pointed to the unceremonious young man lounging on the sofa behind him and introduced him:

“Yinyin, this is Chen Chizhou.”

“If you run into any trouble at school, just tell him.”

Looking at the black-haired boy's cold expression, Wen Yin took the initiative and said, “Hello, big brother.”

Chen Chizhou merely nodded coldly, without replying.

Then came a night some time later, when they were living under the same roof.

In the cramped attic, Chen Chizhou looked up at the girl sitting on his lap and frowned as he reminded her:

“Wen Yin, I'm your brother.”

“...”

After a reckless time living with the Chen family, Wen Yin and Chen Chizhou cut ties completely.

Several years later, they met again at a dinner party.

Wen Yin was there with her agent, hoping to win the female lead role in a drama. Chen Chizhou had since become a rising star in the business world.

He was dressed in a sharp suit, seated at the head of the table and surrounded by admirers.

When Wen Yin walked in, he remained composed and self-possessed.

Wen Yin assumed he had forgotten everything that had happened, but after the dinner party ended, Chen Chizhou pulled her into a car.

The interior was dim. The once-cold young man now had a storm of emotions churning in his eyes.

“Big brother.”

He cut her off coldly the moment she spoke. “Wen Yin, we're not related by blood. I'm not your brother.”

Chen Chizhou had many terms of endearment for Wen Yin over the course of his life.

There were Yin, Baby, and Wife, but never Little Sister. Wen Yin, however, loved calling him big brother most of all, especially when they were fighting and giving each other the silent treatment.

In the first summer after Wen Yin moved into the Chen home,

they went out to sea at night. She deliberately used the rocking boat to splash water on his shirt, and Chen Chizhou knew then:

Wen Yin was going to ruin him for the rest of his life.
