“My whole life, I walked through snow. But he told me spring had come, and that he would take me away.”
Shen Ling first met Lin Xunan when she was seventeen.
That winter, she moved into the Lin family home with her aunt, wearing only thin clothes.
The boy looked down at her and sneered haughtily. His words were barbed: “Oh, the new sixth mom and her little burden?”
The adults went off to the kitchen to get things ready.
Bored, Lin Xunan leaned against the wall and watched her draw. “Hey, how old are you?”
“...”
“Waves aren't pink. They're blue and white.”
“...”
“Can't you understand what people say? Don't you have any manners?”
The boy ran out of patience and reached for her paintbrush.
Only then did she look up at him with her big, round eyes. With an innocent expression, she raised her middle finger at him, then patted her head.
Lin Xunan: ?! She was swearing at him?!
The girl picked up the small drawing board hanging from her, then carefully wrote two characters: “Big brother.”
