Sour Green Plums

Also known as I Only Think of Her as a Little Sister, Not!

Shen Qian and He Yunjin are famous in their alley for being sworn enemies who can’t stay away from each other. The neighbors see Shen Qian burst into tears after He Yunjin teases her, while he laughs uproariously beside her.

Even so, Shen Qian still loves hanging around He Yunjin, because he keeps her favorite candy in his pocket. Whenever she’s upset, he always gives her some to cheer her up.

One day, He Yunjin suddenly came up to Shen Qian and beckoned with a finger. “Come here. I have a secret to tell you.”

Shen Qian obediently went over and looked up at him, curious.

He Yunjin pinched her cheek and smiled. “I like you.”

Looking at his handsome face, Shen Qian’s heart skipped a beat. She was just about to say something when He Yunjin took out his phone and spoke to someone on the other end, sounding bored. “You heard that? I finished my dare. Stop nagging me. This is so boring.”

Shen Qian: “...He! Yun! Jin!”

When He Yunjin got into college, he thought he’d finally managed to shake off Shen Qian, only for her to follow him the next year.

Fine. You’re the one who insisted on following me.

So, on the first day of classes, the moment Shen Qian walked through the campus gates, she saw an enormous banner that drew everyone’s attention.

He Yunjin stood right in the middle, smiling like a demon.

Watching the two of them bicker and flirt, He Yunjin’s roommate joked, “I think you two would make a great couple. Why not give it a try?”

He Yunjin scoffed and folded his arms lazily. “No way. If I liked her, would I have waited this long? I only think of her as a little sister.”

Unexpectedly, his roommate seized his hand, overjoyed. “That’s great! Then I won’t pretend anymore. I’ve had a crush on Qianqian for ages. Since you’re her brother, you’re my brother now too. My real brother!”

He Yunjin: “???”

You’re trying to steal my girl?!

After his roommate started pursuing Shen Qian, He Yunjin found him more and more irritating.

But it was fine. Shen Qian had stuck to him for twenty years. She wouldn’t be stolen away so easily.

But Shen Qian went from looking for him once every half day, to once every two days, and then to not looking for him at all for a whole week. Only then did He Yunjin realize how serious things were.

One day, when his roommate was about to confess to Shen Qian, he finally couldn’t sit still. The proud young master rushed to Shen Qian for the first time, not caring how he looked.

Seeing He Yunjin after so many days apart, Shen Qian asked, “What are you doing here?”

He Yunjin pulled her into his arms. “I like you.”

Shen Qian lowered her eyes. “Are you playing truth or dare again?”

“Yeah.”

Shen Qian smiled bitterly, then heard He Yunjin continue.

“But this time, I chose truth.”
