I Miss You So Much I'm Going Crazy

This one might be the next book, too! I've got plenty of inspiration for it!

& A gloomy siscon steals his love / plays the third wheel

After starting college, Ling Xiao ran into Chi Ran again.

It was their first meeting since her mother and his father broke up.

Ling Xiao paused, remembering how she had deceived him. Looking at Chi Ran's handsome, refined face, she still called out, "Brother."

-

The summer air was hot and sticky. Ling Xiao walked her injured boyfriend back to his dorm. He clung to her, asking for a goodnight kiss, and the two of them said goodbye with smiles.

In a blind spot in the men's dormitory corridor, Ling Xiao was cornered against the wall by her dear "brother." Terrified as a little lamb, she begged and pushed at him, trying to make him remember their past.

Chi Ran's burning breath brushed her vulnerable carotid artery. "Little sister? Ha."

"Did you sneak around and kiss him like this back then, too?" He patted Ling Xiao's cheek. "How about this: I won't hold it against you for stealing my little sister. However long you've been dating him, that's how long I'll kiss you."

-

Later, Ling Xiao stopped calling Chi Ran "Brother," because he had ruined her relationship and said he would make it up to her by finding her a new boyfriend.

"I... I'll be your boyfriend." He had no idea how absurd that sounded.

Ling Xiao refused.

* The leads are not related by blood, have no legal ties, and are not on the same household register.

* The man has a secret crush. The female lead is a naive, honest person, and the male lead bullies and harasses her. It's really that kind of bullying and harassment, so don't read if you're uncomfortable with it.

* Revised January 31, 2025, and December 20, 2025.
