An independent, doted-on, pure-hearted little sun of a sister 🐇 x a seemingly aloof and upright gentleman of a brother, whose love is actually surging like waves, pretending to be a sheep 🐺
Everyone knows that the Yang siblings are as close as can be.
Two years ago, Yang Jiangyun was trapped out of town by a flood and couldn't make it to his younger sister Yang Yourong's wedding in time. He was so overcome with grief that he burst into tears at Jiangkou.
Two years later, when Yang Yourong divorced, Yang Jiangyun was once again trapped out of town.
This time, however, he leapt into the icy river and swam across the Yangtze alone. He would reach his sister's side and support her divorce, no matter the cost.
Their deep and harmonious sibling bond was praised by everyone in the city.
But after her divorce, Yang Yourong developed a stress disorder. She was afraid to sleep in the dark and would sit alone until dawn.
Then her brother volunteered to stand guard at her door through the night.
At first, she and her brother chatted through a closed door.
Later, he stayed in the outer room while she slept in the inner room.
Later still, Yang Yourong dreamed that her brother knelt beside her bed and kissed her lips with fervent devotion, leaving her almost breathless as he murmured, "Yourong, I am your husband."
It wasn't an impulse that came over him one night. The curtains stirred night after night.
Overcome with shame, Yang Yourong was appalled that she could have such irreverent feelings for her brother. All she could do was pack her bags and leave in a hurry.
Everyone knew that Yang Jiangyun was the Yang family's adopted son. He was filial and respectful, intelligent and dignified, and renowned for protecting the people under his care as an official.
From the time he entered the household at seven until he turned twenty-five, he had known Yang Yourong for a full eighteen years.
Even after she married, he was still the brother closest to her.
Now that she had divorced, all the more reason to help her through this difficult time. Night after night, he personally made calming herbal soup for his younger sister to drink.
At first, he only kept watch outside her door.
Later, he went into her room and sat beside her as she fell asleep.
Later still, he took advantage of the calming medicine in his sister's soup to stroke her silky hair as she slept, lovingly winding every strand around his fingers.
Until one day, the person he cherished so dearly suddenly disappeared.
Looking at the empty room, Yang Jiangyun's lips curved into a faint smile. So his sister felt guilty too.
Reading guide: A sweet story of mutual devotion, with both of them pursuing each other. (The little sister will be brave enough to face her feelings, of course, though she won't be as shameless as her brother.)
