In the summer when she was fifteen years old, Qiao Xingwan knocked on Li Zeyan's door with a box of mung bean cakes.
Everyone said that the Crown Prince of the Li family was as cold as an ice sculpture and could not even smile.
But she saw it with her own eyes - he took a bite of the mung bean cake, said "it's okay" expressionlessly, turned around and carefully put the rest into the deepest part of the drawer.
Later she learned that "okay" meant - he had remembered it for seven years.
Before her father left the country, he called him to the study: "Ze Yan, my daughter is in your hands."
Li Zeyan replied with one word: "Okay."
So everyone in city A witnessed——
At the parent-teacher conference for the senior year of high school, he wrote "guardian" in the "relationship" column of the sign-in form, and the whole school was silent;
On the day when the rumor was spread about her, he recommended that someone with 20 million would come to the school in person. He read the rumor maker's letter of apology until the whole school trembled;
She went abroad for exchange, and he was alone at home, locking her pillow in a cabinet and writing on the box: "365 days. The countdown starts tomorrow."
The day she came back, the LED screens all over the city lit up at the same time——
"Qiao Xingwan, from the day you handed me the mung bean cake to now, I've been waiting for you to grow up every day. Now - marry me."
