[Little ray of sunshine x fatherly wolfdog]
When Lin Tu was thirteen, disaster struck his family.
His mother and older sister died in an accident. With nowhere else to go, he was taken in by Lu Zhi, his sister's only friend.
From that day on, the bright young woman named Lu Zhi forced her way into his life, saving him from an existence mired in despair.
Everyone knew Lu Zhi was Lin Tu's older sister.
But no one knew that Lu Zhi was the one he cherished above all others.
Unfortunately, she had lost her way.

After the college entrance exam, Lu Zhi took Lin Tu out to celebrate. At dinner, Lin Tu ran into his classmate, who asked curiously, “Your girlfriend? She's beautiful.”
Hearing this, Lu Zhi smiled and said, “No, I'm his older sister.”
That night, Lin Tu received a message: [Bro, does your sister have a boyfriend? If not, can you introduce me?]
Lin Tu impatiently blocked him.
A little while later, he added him back with a sour expression: [Don't get your hopes up. She doesn't like younger brothers.]
Not even him.

The best way not to ruin a relationship is probably to hide your longing and affection.
Lin Tu had always thought he was good at pretending.
Until he was on a business trip in another city and saw Lu Zhi, looking utterly lost, get hit by a car at the side of the road.
After she left the hospital, she tugged at his clothes like a child who'd done something wrong, looking up at him as he stood tall, handsome, and in his prime.
“About my divorce...”
“Don't tell Mom and Dad.”
The rain began falling again, endlessly.
The seed called a secret sprouted from the soil once more, trembling as it put out a tender green shoot, just as it had when they were young, restless with desire.
Lin Tu held her slender, fragile wrist. His beautiful eyes were as dark and pure as they had been the first time they met, yet now they were unfathomably deep.
He lied without changing expression.
“I rented a place downtown.”
“Two bedrooms.”
