In his previous life, Lin Yan's mother died unexpectedly after marrying Zhou Ce's father. He lived with the Zhou family until he was ten, when his biological father forcibly took him away. He thought he had escaped the life of depending on others, but in truth, he had been dragged into hell. His biological father despised his stutter and beat and berated him at the slightest provocation, while his stepmother often locked him in a room for days without food.
After enduring years of abuse and humiliation, Lin Yan stopped speaking altogether. He became mute. He struggled through life until the age of twenty, when his stepmother killed him. When he woke again, he was back in the summer he was six.
Lin Yan was reborn after his mother had passed away. Just as he had in his previous life, Zhou Ce's father chose to raise him, saying that feeding one more child was no trouble as long as there was food on the table.
Zhou Ce couldn't stand the little stutterer who was about to become his younger brother and take up half his bed. He tried every way he could to make Lin Yan leave, but Lin Yan was always smiling as he hugged him and called him Big Brother. Every time, Zhou Ce would wonder how there could be a child so good-looking, then convince himself to let Lin Yan stay at home a little longer.
Lin Yan tried to change the ending of his previous life, but when he turned ten, his father still took him away by force. Lin Yan cried out for his brother, thinking that everything was over again.
But then, to his surprise, thirteen-year-old Zhou Ce came all the way to Lin Yan's father's house and brought him home. From then on, Zhou Ce never tried to make Lin Yan leave again.
When Lin Yan was in his first year of high school, Zhou Ce was already a college freshman and had started dating. Lin Yan was heartbroken. He realized that he had fallen for Zhou Ce, but could only keep it to himself. Yet as time went on, the truth inevitably showed, and Zhou Ce found out. He began avoiding Lin Yan.
Lin Yan knew Zhou Ce was doing the right thing. They were brothers, and he shouldn't have feelings for Zhou Ce that went beyond family affection. So he started avoiding Zhou Ce too, just as Zhou Ce had avoided him. But Zhou Ce couldn't take it for long. When Lin Yan was about to apply to a university in the north, Zhou Ce stopped him.
"Little Stutterer, don't go so far away. I'll worry about you."
"Big Brother, if I'm too close to you, I won't be able to stop myself from coming to see you."
"Then come see me."
Lin Yan couldn't figure out what Zhou Ce meant, but obediently applied to a university in the same city as Zhou Ce. Zhou Ce stopped avoiding him, and they got along just as they had before. Then one day, someone confessed their feelings to Lin Yan, and Zhou Ce saw it. With a cold expression, Zhou Ce rejected the person for him, then pulled Lin Yan somewhere secluded and kissed him. Only then did Lin Yan understand that Zhou Ce had fallen for him too.
