[Honest Man
During the summer vacation of her first year of high school, Wen Lan went north and married into the Xie family with her mother.
Wen Lan has a cheap sister, and a cheap brother lives next door, Xie Zhiang.
When we met for the first time, Xie Zhiang was wearing a blue and white school uniform, carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder, and hanging headphones around his neck. He exuded the aura of keeping strangers away from him. A pair of black eyes came over and looked at Wen Lan indifferently.
Wen Lan politely called out: "Brother."
The cheap sister shouted: "You are not allowed to call him brother!"
After school started, Wen Lan learned that Xie Zhiang was a myth in No. 1 Middle School, an elusive dream for countless girls.
He helped Wen Lan, and Wen Lan thanked him: "Thank you, brother."
Xie Zhiang frowned and refused her thousands of miles away: "Don't call me brother."
I never expected that Wen Lan and Xie Zhiang would hang out together during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination.
The room was dark and the curtains were tightly closed, so no one could see the scenery inside. Xie Zhiang's palms were sweaty and he covered Wen Lan's mouth.
The chirping of cicadas became louder and louder, and Wen Lan heard Xie Zhiang whisper to her: "Don't call me brother, call me brother."

The secret between the two was discovered, and Wen Lan was sent to study abroad by her mother.
No matter what, this bad relationship will eventually be unsustainable.
On the day Wen Lan and her boyfriend returned to China, the person who came to pick them up at the airport was Xie Zhiang.
The boyfriend asked Wen Lan: "Who is this?"
Xie Zhiang smiled slightly: "I am her brother."
Wen Lan silently prayed that she and Xie Zhiang could become siblings again.
Until——
Wen Lan's wedding dress was torn to pieces and her engagement ring rolled away. She was pushed into the corner by Xie Zhiang, just like before. She cried and begged him to let her go, but she received even worse treatment in return.
"You look so beautiful in your wedding dress," the man's palm gently caressed her face without stopping for a moment, "Would you like me to take a photo of it so that my future brother-in-law can take a look?"

"There are wild strawberries, there is summer, there is the day I kissed you for the first time."
