When I was six years old, a crying little boy moved next door.
The first time Lin Zhixia saw Shen Yu, he was hiding behind his mother with red eyes, holding a pack of tissues in his hand like a frightened little rabbit. She generously handed over an orange-flavored lollipop and said carelessly: "If you hang out with me from now on, no one will dare to bully you."
She thought it was just a promise made casually between children.
But Shen Yu took it seriously.
From elementary school to high school, from his deskmate to the next class, he followed her footsteps for twelve years. When she fell, he was the first to rush up to her. When she was bullied, he stood in front of her with red eyes. When she said she wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, he learned how to make it all afternoon. Everyone said that Shen Yu was Lin Zhixia's little tail. Lin Zhixia smiled and agreed, never thinking that one day, this little tail would grow into a young man who could protect her behind him.
In the summer after the college entrance examination, Shen Yu finally no longer just looked at her with red eyes.
He said: "Lin Zhixia, I have been waiting for this day for twelve years."
This is a story that begins with a lollipop and continues throughout a lifetime. Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, from morning to dusk.
It turns out that the sweetest candy is not the orange lollipop, but the look you look at me.
