As I Recover from a Serious Illness, I Plan to Propose to My Childhood Sweetheart

[Everyday Romance + One Female Lead + Sweet Little Story (With a Love Triangle) + Everyday Urban Life]

“Hi! My name is Yu Xue. I want to be your friend!”

When I was seven, a girl in a white dress took the spot where I usually sat beneath the ginkgo tree. I watched her from a distance, and for a moment, I seemed to fall into a strange, indescribable feeling. When I came back to my senses, I gave her the spot and sat down on the other side of the tree.

But to my surprise, the girl took the initiative and walked over to me. She held out a hand, her smile as bright as the sun in the sky.

That was when I seemed to understand what the feeling was. People called it love at first sight.

As you might expect, thanks to her efforts, we got together. We went from childhood friends who had grown up together to lovers.

I made up my mind that I would marry her after graduating from college, give her a happy life, and become her legal partner.

But plans never keep up with change. The year I graduated from college, I fell ill, and my illness lasted two years.

Throughout my illness, she cared for me tirelessly and never left my side. Whenever I saw her exhausted, asleep with her head resting by my bedside, my heart filled with complicated feelings: gratitude, happiness, but most of all, guilt.

So when I learned that I was about to recover, I began planning my proposal.

I would walk down the aisle with her in good health. I would make her the happiest girl in the world.

…

“This time, let me be the one to light your way.”
