The Handsome Older Brother Next Door

Childhood friends | Reunion after a long separation Quirky, cool girl x cool, scheming beauty 1 The Shen family goes bankrupt. Their only son is kidnapped and then found, and the family moves to an old residential compound in their hometown. Young master Shen Sijin becomes frail, gloomy, and withdrawn. Xu Jianan has been a sucker for good looks since she was little. At first sight, she falls for the handsome older boy who just moved in next door. She shares animal-shaped cookies with him, gives him the little red flowers she earns from her teacher, and even drags him off to play house. Just like in the TV dramas, she hugs her doll and calls Shen Sijin her baby's daddy. To get a couple more strawberry candies, she solemnly takes Shen Sijin's hand and tells him she's pregnant, so all the tasty treats should go to the baby's mother. The teenage boy is cornered by her antics. His beautiful face nearly cracks, but he still buys her lots of strawberry candies to appease her. Unfortunately, before their baby is born, something unexpected happens to the Xu family, and they move away. The little ray of sunshine leaves without saying goodbye, leaving Shen Sijin standing by the empty doorway through countless days and nights. Much later, at an upscale French restaurant. Xu Jianan catches her boyfriend cheating. She grabs a glass of red wine, ready to give the scumbag a brainwash. But the scumbag reacts too quickly, and the wine splashes all over the expensive suit of the man standing behind him. The scumbag turns around and goes weak in the knees. "Damn, boss!" Xu Jianan looks up, stunned. "Damn, baby's daddy!" 2 Later, as they lie entwined together, Shen Sijin always squeezes her waist and murmurs in confusion, "You tricked me into giving you so much candy when we were kids. That baby you were carrying for me back then, when exactly are you going to give birth to it?" Xu Jianan: "..." She only wanted to eat a few extra candies back then. Who could've guessed that, so many years later, she'd still get what's coming to her? A run-away-with-the-baby story (not really). Theme: Keep your heart turned toward the sun
