Gloomy beauty big sister x younger green-tea boy
Content warning: The story mainly follows the heroine's growth from adolescence onward.
She was cheerful and outgoing, beautiful and tall. After graduating from high school, she and her friends all received acceptance letters from the universities they had dreamed of attending.
Xia Qiao's life had always been happy and peaceful. That was until the accident...
After losing a leg, not only was her body left incomplete, but the life she'd always been content with began to fall apart too.
At twenty-eight, she watched a blind date beside her prattle on about his mother and felt sick.
Her parents urged her to compromise. After all, she was disabled now.

She saw Wang Jiahe again when she was nearly thirty.
Unlike before, Wang Jiahe was now a head taller than her, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a bright, youthful presence.
Xia Qiao heard a girl say, "A guy like Wang Jiahe is so amazing that even a brief encounter with him would be lucky!"
The 186-centimeter-tall teenager stood in the sunlight with his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, looking down at her with narrowed eyes.
"You liar!"
Xia Qiao: "?"
-
At first, he approached her only because he wanted to rekindle their friendship.
Wang Jiahe taught Xia Qiao to skateboard, played basketball with her, and even volunteered to chase off an impolite man she'd been set up with.
But as they spent more time together, he gradually began to feel something different for her.
Wang Jiahe looked into Xia Qiao's disbelieving eyes and spoke, one word at a time:
"I like you. Not the way a younger guy likes his big sister."
"I haven't felt that way for a long time."

Content Warnings:
Ten-year age gap.
The second male lead gets a lot of story time too. The heroine has feelings for him without realizing it.
I'll update again after the whole story is finished. If you're interested, feel free to bookmark it first~
