Qiao Yiyi always thought the boy next door was handsome. She wanted to bring him home, and she took to heart the childhood joke their parents made about arranging a marriage between them, waiting for the day she grew up so she could make it happen.
Ye Zhiyao was the child other parents always pointed to as an example. He stood out among the kids from an early age. He found the boys in the neighborhood too noisy and thought sweet, gentle little girls were much more lovable.
