Everyone said the senior brother and junior sister had grown up together, were a perfect match, and were truly made for each other.
Everyone knew he liked his junior sister.
Only his junior sister didn't know.
Her eyes followed the storybooks from the town below the mountain, the new flowers blossoming within the sect, and even an ordinary new disciple could make her pause and look.
She simply never looked at him.

His junior sister was always saying things he couldn't understand. She said, "Senior Brother, you'll meet the woman destined for you, and then you'll form a bond with her."
As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, her expression frank and entirely unembarrassed. Then she continued.
"And I'll meet the male lead who's destined for me, too."
He couldn't understand what she was talking about, but he could tell that she was turning down his invitations more and more often, going off to pester that new disciple instead.
That day, the senior brother waited for her at the foot of the mountain for a long time. It rained, from dawn until nightfall. At last, she returned, looking delighted. A rosy glow colored her lovely face, and she was all smiles. When she saw him, she seemed to freeze for a moment.
"Senior Brother, did you happen to return to the sect at the same time?"
"Yes." He took her umbrella and held it over her, shielding her from the rain and hiding the inscrutable look on his face.
Later, when his junior sister was imprisoned by him in a dark room, she still couldn't understand why the senior brother who had treated her like a father and brother since childhood would do such a thing.
Her senior brother bit down mercilessly on her fingertip. He said,
"Junior Sister, do you still not understand? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would weave a sword tassel for just any woman, snatch storybooks from the town below the mountain for her, and let her order me around?"
"Senior Brother never understands what Junior Sister says. Fortunately, I don't need to keep guessing anymore."
He called her Junior Sister, his tone and expression no different from before. Snow-white skin, dark hair, deep black eyes, calm as still water. If not for the faint madness in his eyes, she might even have thought he was still the same senior brother she used to tease.
A seemingly aloof but secretly dark senior brother x his same old oblivious junior sister.
