I’ve Loved You for Many Years

I thought I would spend the rest of my life with someone gentle and refined, dating, getting married, and sharing every day, every meal, and every season. I thought first love was always beautiful, that a romance this perfect would end in a happy ever after, and that I would care about all your joys and sorrows. But love can’t overcome bad timing and meeting the wrong person. Then someone comes along who is unreasonable, heartless, domineering, and devious, bullying you without a shred of reason while spoiling you rotten.

Jiang Lai: When did you fall for me?

Mo Bai: A long, long time ago, when you were little and I was little too.

Jiang Lai: Is this your first time cooking?

Mo Bai: Yeah. Do me a favor and finish it.

Jiang Lai: My tooth hurts. I need to have it pulled.

Mo Bai: Miss, I’m a dentist. Let me take a look and pull it for you.

Jiang Lai: Little brother, I want to be a princess for a day.

Mo Bai: Miss, open this door, and you’ll be my princess from now on. Welcome to my world.

Jiang Lai: Xiaobai, I’m cold.

Mo Bai: Jiang Lai, don’t be afraid. Xiaobai is here.
