Bickering couple | Study abroad slice of life | Older sister and puppy vs. younger sister and puppy
[World-weary, deathly serious big sister & marriage-hungry, jealous beagle]
1:
There was still greenery along the Rhine at the end of September. Rena sat on a bench, staring blankly at the river as she smoked. A mixed-race girl with short curls rolled into her line of sight in a wheelchair.
Their eyes met.
The curly-haired girl was so startled by Rena's intense stare that she froze. Then she hurriedly turned away, as if she'd seen a raging flood.
With mischievous delight, Rena approached her to complete the random daily activity assigned by her psychiatrist. "Darf ich Ihnen helfen?"
The curly-haired girl glared at her, cheeks puffed with anger and ears bright red. "No, thanks!"
Well, she spoke Chinese very well. And she was a fiery little Central European hybrid, too.

"Smoking and drinking are bad for you! Nobody will date or marry an alcoholic!" Zong Yangxi snatched the nearly empty vodka bottle from Rena. He spotted a row of empty bottles on the windowsill and stared in shock.
Rena curled up on the new sofa with a faint smile. "I get you, friend. If I were paralyzed from the waist down, I'd worry no one would want me either."
Zong Yangxi flew into a rage. "You're discriminating against disabled people!"
"People still use marriage and dating as a weapon? I'm just doing what's right and overthrowing the remnants of feudalism." Rena flicked away her cigarette ash. Remembering that he seemed to be a noble, she teased, "Want big sister to cut off your long braid? I'll save you fifty euros."

Gao Fanye also decided to go on exchange in Germany after seeing the location on Rena's social media post from a year ago.
He wanted to try to win back the girl he loved.
Rena never expected to run into Gao Fanye abroad. Her dried-up spirit seemed to come back to life, as if she were in high school again. It was like catching the scent of an old perfume bottle: memories washed over her and soaked her through.
"What a coincidence."
They said it at the same time.
[Important Content Warnings:]
[First, let me stress that the heroine is not a strong female lead.]
1. The male lead has a spinal cord injury. There will be no medical miracle.
2. The male lead has a sharp tongue but loves deeply. The heroine speaks even more harshly, and she's an ordinary person.
3. The story will unconditionally favor the heroine.
4. The male lead is pure in body and mind. The heroine and the second male lead had a wonderful romance in high school.
