Can feelings really undergo such a profound change?
At first, Wu Ling saw Lin Li as the daughter of his mother's best friend: a mischievous little sister who needed looking after.
Later, he saw Lin Li as a vulnerable, pitiful little sister who needed someone to take good care of her.
But by then, his "little sister" seemed to have forgotten the bond they'd shared as children. When they met again, she greeted him with nothing but distant politeness, calling him "cousin."
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Later...
He didn't know exactly when it started, but all of it began to change.
He couldn't help wanting to see her. His heart raced uncontrollably. He hated it when other boys confessed to her, and hated seeing her get close to other men.
But it seemed he'd realized his feelings too late. By then, she'd gone to university in a city three thousand kilometers away, and she'd already gotten a boyfriend.
He'd always looked after her as her "cousin," keeping a proper distance, because the upbringing instilled in him would never allow him to become the third party who wrecked someone else's relationship.
Until the night Lin Li kissed him while drunk...
