[Gentle, jade-like sweetheart x gloomy, feral stray dog]
The fake older sister raised her sweetheart all the way through her senior year of high school. Then a woman came to their door, claiming to be the sweetheart's real older sister.
People couldn't keep secrets in a small county town, so the fake older sister took a bus to the city that very night and found her younger brother, Ying Chi, living wild at a vocational school. He was a complete blockhead, but at least he had a handsome face. If the sweetheart got together with him, she'd stay in their family forever.
The fake older sister had lived with the sweetheart in an old apartment building since childhood. It had one bedroom and one living room, so when Ying Chi came, he could only sleep in the living room.
But one night, when the sweetheart went out to get a drink of water, that stray dog was sitting in the corner. His shadowy gaze fixed on her graceful figure as she walked away, and he asked in a low voice, "Why are you always clinging to my sister? Have you ever dated a guy?"
The sweetheart was well-behaved and listened to her sister. She wouldn't get up to anything before the college entrance exams.
But after the exams ended, the fake older sister came back early from a business trip. She stood frozen outside the bedroom door, listening to the sweetheart's soft, breathy sobs inside.
Her own brother was on the bed where she and the sweetheart had spent countless nights together.
Everything went according to plan. The next day, in broad daylight, she went into the room and stroked the sweetheart's damp forehead. In the heat of summer, she said fondly, "You can do whatever you want, but make sure you protect yourself."
Cang's face was lovelier than any the sweetheart had ever seen.
The real older sister came again, trying to take the sweetheart away. The fake older sister calmly told Ying Chi to fight for her. Who could have guessed that Ying Chi would become the third person who wanted the sweetheart all to himself?
At night, with the sweetheart's arms wrapped tightly around his shoulders, he would tell her, "Tell them you only want your brother."
