That summer vacation, his mother sent him to the mountains. She wanted him to experience the hardships of life and realize how good his current life was, hoping to stop him from being gloomy every day and dropping out before he even finished middle school.
She never expected him to leave his heart there...

Her impression of him: bright eyes, very fair skin, quiet, like a little fairy child, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns and liable to break at any moment.
She never expected that a month later, he would be following her around, climbing trees and mountains with ease.

And while she did her homework, his sweet little calls of "Big Sister" only made her more flustered.
-

The romance comes much later.
