At thirteen, Mi Yan moved to Mossy Alley. Her aunt and uncle didn't have the energy to look after her, so they told her to eat at the Liang family's house.
At the time, eighteen-year-old Liang Xun was at home in shorts and a tank top. With his stunning face, he sauntered over lazily and pinched her cheek. "Why are your eyes so wide? Did your big brother's good looks stun you?"
"..."
"What's your name?"
"Mi... Mi..."
"Oh, then I'll call you Xiao Mi from now on."
"..."
"Don't worry. Big Brother will take care of you."
"..."
Mi Yan liked Liang Xun from the very first moment she saw him.
He kept her company at meals, walked her to class and picked her up after school. A man who had always lived freely and carelessly once traveled a thousand miles just because she'd said she missed her big brother, all so he could watch the sunrise with her.
He treated her so well that even the people around them were jealous. "Aren't you worried you'll spoil Xiao Mi?"
Liang Xun took a drag on his cigarette and grinned. "She's my little sister. I don't care how spoiled she gets."
After watching him fall in love again and again, with one girlfriend after another, Mi Yan finally understood: she was only his little sister.

Liang Xun kept his promise.
He took care of her for ten years, but by the time she graduated from college, he realized she was getting harder and harder to manage.
Mi Yan had recently started dating someone.
He didn't smoke, drink, or play cards. He had a pair of gentle eyes and would smile and call her, "Xiao Mi."
She told Liang Xun, "Big Brother, I want to marry him."
The hand holding Liang Xun's cigarette went stiff. He ground out two words through his teeth. "Just try."
He really had spoiled her.
She'd grown up.
Now she even dared to leave him behind.
