He was the prodigy son of the Xing family. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Xing family who was kept out of sight. Once, he was the arrogant and domineering younger brother in her eyes. Once, she was the insignificant older sister in his eyes. Once, their interactions were limited to this. In the later years, all of this became nothing more than a distant memory.
Cover text: No matter if it was ten years ago or ten years later, he never acknowledged her as his sister. Ten years, and then ten more years. No one understood it ten years ago, and no one could recall it ten years later.
Chapter 1: Brother’s Lover
- First Encounter
That summer, the sunlight was exceptionally brilliant, almost blinding to the eyes.
Xia Qianchi stood beneath the dappled, swaying tree shadows, slightly squinting her eyes, looking at the young boy standing before her, about her age. The boy had a pair of phoenix eyes slanting upward, revealing an innate nobility and domineering presence.
Those deep phoenix eyes forced their way into her sight, breaking into her life. She didn’t even notice Xing Yun beside him.
Some things in life seem predetermined from the start.
That summer, she entered his life as a sister.
But, just a sister, nothing more. And an unacknowledged sister at that.
If she were not Xia Qianchi, he not Xing Tuo, or her identity not the illegitimate daughter of Xing Shiyao, there would be no subsequent events…
“Tuo’er, Yun’er, this is Qianchi. Qianchi is your sister, you should get along well,” was how Xing Shiyao first brought the young Xia Qianchi to the Xing family mansion.
Xia Qianchi watched her father’s tall figure disappear at the end of the garden, facing the sunlight.
Xing Tuo stared at the little girl who was supposedly his sister, his lips tightly pursed, saying nothing.
“Qianchi,” the beautiful little girl stepped forward, taking Qianchi’s hand, smiled and said, “I’m Xing Yun.”
Her smile was beautiful, her black eyes crystal-clear.
Six-year-old Xing Yun was already as tall as her, with Xing Tuo slightly taller.
“Hello,” she said, “I’m Xia Qianchi.”
Xing Yun happily smiled at Xing Tuo: “Brother, we have a sister now, isn’t that great?”
“I don’t have a sister!” Xing Tuo coldly turned and walked away.
