When Chi Jiayu was four, a rumor began circulating around the village.
He made a habit of circling one little girl every single day.
His mother dragged him home by the ear three times, and he climbed over the wall to run back four times.
“Brat, is your father or mother waiting for you up there?” his mother cried in exasperation.
Chi Jiayu said nothing. He couldn't exactly tell her that the chubby little girl drooling in his arms had been his wife in his previous life. He owed her an entire childhood.
Later, he put down roots in the countryside and led the whole village to prosperity. Everyone respected him, except for one thing:
He was well into his thirties, but he wouldn't date or marry. His phone wallpaper was still the girl he'd watched over since she was little.
“Secretary Chi, what are you waiting for?”
He smiled but didn't answer.
He couldn't tell them he was waiting for someone to grow up.
And he certainly couldn't tell them that a pair of eyes in the shadows was waiting for her, too.
That man, whose obsession had turned to madness, had already begun to act.
