An aloof, possessive, scheming childhood friend VS a sweet, silly childhood sweetheart with fair skin and stunning looks. (Sweet romance, childhood sweethearts, school life)
The first time Shen Qingqing saw Gu Jinyan as a little girl, she fell head over heels for him.
This tiny, pudgy little girl insisted on acting all wise and mysterious. Who knew where she'd gotten that haughty little attitude?
From that day on, little Shen Qingqing toddled after little Gu Jinyan everywhere.
When Shen Qingqing broke someone else's window playing ball, Gu Jinyan was punished for not keeping an eye on her.
When Shen Qingqing got into a fight, Gu Jinyan was punished for not going to help.
When Shen Qingqing refused to eat because she was picky, Gu Jinyan was punished for failing to coax her.
Gu Jinyan: “...I'm so done.”
All in all, the two little ones had a childhood that was both happy and nerve-racking.
Then, when they were eight, Gu's mother was in a car accident. Covered in blood and horribly disfigured, she was rushed into the operating room, but never woke up again.
Shen Qingqing saw the boy curled up tightly in a corner of the hospital, his thin frame surrounded by a deathly gray pallor, like a flower in decline. It made her heart ache.
From then on, Shen Qingqing stayed by his side with tender care. She sat with him as he sobbed behind his hands in dark rooms where he couldn't see a thing. She talked with him again and again in the silent house, helped him try to communicate with others and emerge from the darkness, and stayed by him as he gradually learned to live a normal life...
At some point, deep and powerful feelings began to color Gu Jinyan's eyes whenever he looked at the girl, like a beast lying in wait in the rainforest, guarding its mate.
Qingqing, his Qingqing, was destined to belong to him.
