My Brother is a Little Puppy

I pushed the man in front of me down onto the carpet, my eyes burning with intensity. Leaning in, I pressed my lips against Jiang Zixuan's. He stared at me in shock, his eyes wide as if he were stunned.
Then, he tried to push me away with all his strength. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck, unwilling to part my lips for even a moment. My body felt like a volcano ready to erupt, filled with a searing heat that threatened to consume the man beneath me.
Three years had passed since my mother remarried. I followed her to our new home, and the unfamiliar environment made me feel somewhat uneasy. This new house was large and exquisitely decorated, and for the first time, I had my own room. Yet, I couldn’t shake the feeling of being an outsider, unable to integrate into this new family.
My stepfather was a refined middle-aged man with a gentle demeanor towards me. There was also an older brother named Jiang Zixuan, who was a few years my senior. He appeared cultured and well-mannered, with short black hair, deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and tightly pressed lips that gave him an air of calm sophistication. However, for some reason, I always sensed a certain coldness from him; he seemed reluctant to get close.
Before coming here, my mother had advised me to build good relationships with my stepfather's family.
"Brother..." I greeted him awkwardly during our first meeting. Jiang Zixuan merely glanced at me and responded with a curt acknowledgment before returning to his own activities. It felt as though we were not particularly welcome.
That night, as I lay in bed struggling to sleep due to the unfamiliar surroundings, my phone suddenly buzzed. Groggy, I picked it up and saw that it was a voice message from my brother, Jiang Zixuan.
His voice was deep and magnetic, soothing to listen to. "Jin Yu, are you asleep? If it's convenient, let's have a video call."
Without waiting for my reply, he initiated the video call. I hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to answer. Although he had been somewhat distant during the day, I didn't want to make our relationship awkward since we would be spending time together in the future. So, I pressed the answer button.
On the other side of the screen appeared Jiang Zixuan, dressed in pajamas. His gaze was deep, as if he could see right through the screen into my heart. I felt nervous and couldn't meet his eyes, unsure of what to say to him.
He looked at me with a slight smile playing on his lips and said, "Don't be nervous. I just wanted to see if you're getting used to life here." His tone was calm, but I could tell he was genuinely concerned.
However, his attitude left me a bit confused; he had been so cold during the day but was now reaching out to chat at night. Was this some kind of quirk of a rich young man?
We chatted across the screen about mundane things, asking about my studies. After our simple conversation, I felt more relaxed; it seemed he wasn't difficult to get along with—just a bit odd during the day.
Thus, I officially began to integrate into this new family. For the first time, I experienced the warmth of a family. After all those years with a single mother, life had been quite unpredictable.
Usually, my stepfather was busy with work and rarely home, while my mother had started a new job. Most of the time, it was just me and my brother Jiang Zixuan at home.
In our free time, we would watch TV and chat together. We even cooked and cleaned together. These seemingly ordinary moments brought me joy in companionship. Sometimes, I couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if things could stay like this forever.
But it wasn't long before an unexpected turn of events changed my life once again.
