He and she were childhood sweethearts, the best of playmates when they were young. Because of his family circumstances, he left without saying goodbye. For ten years, they both thought of each other constantly. He loved soccer, and by chance, he reunited with her and recognized the girl she had become. Their ten years apart only made their feelings more sincere. Near the end of their senior year, he accepted a contract with La Liga’s Real Madrid and became a professional footballer. She chose to take the college entrance exam, got into a prestigious university in China, and started a company, becoming a well-known entrepreneur.
They said goodbye to each other once again. When she traveled to Spain, they met again. This time, they promised never to part again.
In the Champions League final, Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout, winning the 16th Champions League trophy in the club’s history.
“Mr. Jiang, what made you so determined to end your playing career?” a reporter asked curiously.
He looked at her nearby and smiled. “A childhood friend. We’ve always thought of each other. We went through two separations, and I chose to retire because I didn’t want to be parted from her again. Childhood sweethearts when we were young, lovers as adults.” Jiang Huai answered the reporter, gazing at Ling Zixi with affection.
Jiang Huai and Ling Zixi looked at each other. His eyes held the whole world, while hers held only this boy.
You are my whole world. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you.
