Yubai

● Main story complete

● Brilliant, brooding, disabled male lead × gentle, adorable girl

On a snowy night when she was sixteen, Jiang Bai followed a distant uncle to stay for a week at his workplace. She had never seen such a huge house before. Only later did she learn it was called an estate.

"Sir, she's a girl," her uncle said, resting a hand on her shoulder.

"Her, then."

The man in the wheelchair had a pale face. He was like a Siberian fir, covered in winter snow, with only a thin, straight trunk left beneath it.

He taught Jiang Bai English and French, table manners, and how to dress and style herself.

Her life was turned upside down. She was raised as the heir to a great family, and little by little, she became lost in the estate's decaying, feudal world.

Jiang Bai thought she must be terribly sick. Why else would she feel no affection for her outstanding childhood friend, yet be so deeply infatuated with Mr. Qi?

Infatuated with his handsome face, his scarlet lips, and the legs resting in his wheelchair.

On a snowy night after she came of age, she confessed her feelings for the first time. He looked at her coldly for the first time, too. "Get out. The farther away, the better!"

After countless arguments, she once drove out of the estate in a fury, then turned around and came back to see him.

In the rehabilitation room, the man who had not stood up in four years gripped the parallel bars and walked a full five meters. He fell hard in front of her, his calf spasming with pain.

With his hair damp with sweat, Qi Yu raised his head and sneered. "You like a cripple like me?"

*

After they married, Jiang Bai once asked him when his heart had stopped being so hard.

Qi Yu thought back. Probably the night he wanted to give up rehabilitation, when Jiang Bai wrapped her arms around his neck and, fighting back tears, said, "Don't be such a coward. Please."

- At the end of winter's night, light always crosses the abyss -

Note:

1. The male lead's legs will recover, but he spends half the story still unable to walk.

2. Both are virgins, with a ten-year age gap.

Coming next: My Beloved Younger Sister

1.

The hardest thing Duan Yunchuan ever did was send his adoptive younger sister back to the Qin family.

Her maternal grandparents scolded him through reddened eyes: "You brought us back a little beast, but where is my daughter? The police returned nothing but a box of ashes!"

Duan Yunchuan kowtowed until his head was bloody for the crime committed by someone from his village. Only then did the two elderly people accept Jiaojiao.

"Never have anything to do with her again. You bunch of human traffickers!"

Those words echoed in Duan Yunchuan's mind for ten years.

Ten years later, he had gone from an orphan unable to support his little sister to a jade merchant. He had been shot twice in Myanmar and survived both times.

Suddenly, he began to miss Qin Jiao.

No, the truth was, he had always missed Qin Jiao, the little sister he had dropped out of school at seventeen to support, even by picking up bottles and cans.

After he finally persuaded the old woman to let them meet again, Duan Yunchuan kept happily wondering how Qin Jiao would react when she saw him.

Unfortunately, that day, all Duan Yunchuan saw was Qin Jiao's back.

2.

When Qin Jiao first arrived at the Qin family home, she thought her brother had sold her to "rich people" and cried day and night for a long time.

Later, after hearing what the elderly couple told her, she felt her brother had abandoned her. Love and resentment tangled in her heart for ten years, and Qin Jiao did not want to face him.

It was only after moving into Duan Yunchuan's house and seeing the class photo of him forever frozen at seventeen, and the bullet wounds on his body where the flesh could never lie flat, that Qin Jiao finally understood:

She was a burden her brother's life could not bear, and that was why he had "abandoned" her.
