When Pei Siyan was thirteen, he found an abandoned baby beside a garbage can.
She was tiny and wrinkled, and clung to his finger without letting go. He named her Xing Mian, like a star that had fallen into his arms, so she could sleep safe and sound for the rest of her life.
He fed her milk, soothed her to sleep, taught her to walk, and waited for her to grow up.
He thought he was raising a daughter.
He never expected that, somewhere along the way, she would become the one dearest to his heart.
When Xing Mian was five, she wore her hair in two little buns and said in her babyish voice, "Pei Siyan, when I grow up, I'm going to marry you."
He waited thirteen years.
On her eighteenth birthday, she wore the red dress he had given her, put her arms around his neck, and called him "hubby."
The best thing Pei Siyan ever did was rescue her from the garbage can.
His biggest regret?
None. He never regretted a thing.
He just sometimes thought...
If he'd known that the little star he raised would become his wife, he should have let her cry a little less.
