[A handsome, devoted, and calculating soccer star vs. a sweet, food-loving airhead beauty] (love grows over time + long-planned pursuit + warm protection)
The first time Tong Yinian met Jiang Ning, he was six years old, and she was still a tiny baby lying in her crib. Her skin was red and a little wrinkly. He thought she was kind of ugly, but he still deigned to touch her face.
“Smack!” The baby promptly wrapped her mouth around his ring finger and began sucking on it with gusto...
As the baby grew, she became prettier and cuter, and more and more people wanted to hold her. She seemed especially fond of Tong Yinian. Every time he held her, she beamed with delight, and little by little, he grew used to having this baby in his life!
Later, the baby gradually grew up into a graceful young woman, and Tong Yinian realized that his feelings for her seemed to have changed.
The innocent young girl had no idea, and continued to depend on and trust him as always...
“Ningning, I bought you a blueberry cake!”
“Coming, coming! A Nian, you’re the best!”
“Ningning, I made nourishing old duck soup. Come have some!”
“Coming, coming! A Nian, you’re getting better and better at cooking!”
One day, the young woman stood in front of the full-length mirror, stared at the noticeable bulge in her belly, and gave someone a plaintive look.
“A Nian, have you been feeding me too much lately? I’ve gained weight. No one will marry me!”
“You’re not fat. You were too skinny before. You’re just right now, and you’re nice to hold!”
He pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, “Ningning, in this life, you can’t marry anyone but me!”
