When Yu Shu ran into Jiang Xingnian at the company where she was interning, her first thought was to run.
Who knew she'd turn around and find herself cornered in the elevator, where he demanded, “What? Don't recognize your big brother anymore?”
Of course she recognized him.
Yu Shu thought, I even know how many girlfriends your best friend has had.

Years later, Jiang Xingnian met the girl next door again. The clear, sly eyes he remembered had changed, and she had become stubborn and composed.
He took care of her in every way, honoring his grandmother's dying wish, but he never expected his heart to fall for her beyond his control.

One night, Yu Shu's cheeks flushed as she clutched his collar and demanded through tears, “Is this what Grandma meant when she asked you to take care of me?”
Jiang Xingnian raised an eyebrow, looking roguish. “Yeah. Am I not taking good enough care of you?”
A short, sweet treat. Not serialized for profit.
