The first time Nian Sui'an met Xie Yan, she was six years old.
An abandoned school was being renovated when the construction crew found a ragged little boy in an old classroom.
Xie Yan was covered in scars, painfully thin, and curled up in a corner, his gaze cold and wary.
Like a little wolf bristling with hostility.
None of the adults at the scene dared approach him.
Only Nian Sui'an worked up the courage to offer him the only candy in her pocket.
"Hello, my name is Nian Sui'an. What's your name?"
The next time Nian Sui'an met Xie Yan, she was sixteen.
Her stepfather's long-lost son had been found, and Xie Yan became her brother, though they shared neither parent.
After years of living under someone else's roof, Nian Sui'an had learned to read the room.
At her mother's encouragement, she took out a piece of candy and timidly offered it to Xie Yan.
"H-hello, I'm Nian Sui'an. It's nice to meet you. I hope we can be good friends."
Xie Yan stared at the candy in her palm for a long time before finally looking up at her, his gaze mocking and indifferent.
"Friends? I don't give a damn."
Later, no one could have guessed that the unruly, spoiled little wolf would willingly bow his head to Nian Sui'an.
In the room, Nian Sui'an sat with a little pout, refusing to speak to him.
Xie Yan held a bowl of porridge and coaxed the picky Nian Sui'an in a low voice.
"Sui Sui, have a little more, okay?"
[I worship her as a deity, devoutly, and cannot bear to defile her. But she lied. She told me she loved me.]
