From Childhood Friend to Sweetheart

An eight-year-old girl barrels straight into the arms of a “middle-aged man.” With a six-year age gap, their own special sweet romance begins!

Shen Xiuzhu complains that Su Shuying is a nuisance, but his actions tell a different story:

He carries her schoolbag and gives her the whole umbrella, getting half of himself soaked.

When she falls, he says she deserves it, but clumsily tends to her scrapes all the same.

He’s a strict teacher when it comes to her studies, yet he’s also the one who slips her plum juice to cheer her up.

On a snowy night, he carries her on his back and races to get her medical help. “I’m here” is a promise etched into his very bones.

All talk and no action? That’s their everyday life!

Another man gets too close? He immediately stakes his claim!

Does she think he’s too controlling? Her heart has already been spoiled into a jar of honey!

Long distance? He bombards her with messages and keeps sending packages!

A reunion? He takes charge and cherishes her like a priceless treasure!

When he was twenty-seven and she was twenty-one, he held her close and said, “Marry me. I’ll take care of you and spoil you for the rest of your life.”

From the little shadow who followed her under the parasol tree to Mrs. Shen, his wife in name and in law.

Their age gap is pure sweetness, and his complaints are sweeter still. A fluffy romance with no angst: she’ll stay in his arms for a lifetime!
