Hot-tempered, spoiled little girl x scheming, double-standard top student

Rekindled love | Height difference | Living under the same roof | She pursues him aggressively

The day Lu Chen was brought back to the Shen family, Shen Zhiya was told by her parents to call him "big brother."

She obediently called him that in front of everyone, but coldly warned him in private: "Stay away from me, and keep your mouth shut!"

That wasn't the first time Shen Zhiya had met Lu Chen.

-

On the subway, skipping class to go to an exhibition, she spotted a handsome guy at a glance. The name tag on his backpack swayed slightly as the train moved.

She told her best friend about her discovery: "He's so, so, so handsome. His name is Lu something, but I can't make it out."

"Chen." A voice came from above her head. Startled, she whipped around. The young man's features were relaxed as he softly said, "Lu Chen."

She fled the train car and swore she would never ride the subway again, never see that person again.

But things didn't go as planned. He became her "big brother."

-

After the college entrance exams, Shen Zhiya overspent her allowance and set her sights on "easy pickings": Lu Chen.

She called him to a grove, shoved him against a tree, and thrust out her hand menacingly. "Wallet!"

Lu Chen had just showered, water droplets still clinging to his hair. Leaning against the tree, he smiled. "It's in my pocket."

Like a bandit, Shen Zhiya expertly searched every pocket on Lu Chen, taking not only his money but also her favorite milk candies. She took it all.

"Don't you dare tell anyone, or I'll tell Mom and Dad you kissed me!"

The affection shining in his eyes was impossible to hide. "Okay. Then let me kiss you again."

Your sudden heartbeat was something I'd planned for a long time.

My love for you is the beat beneath my fifth rib on the left, and the forbidden embrace we share in the dark, hidden from everyone else.
