The first time Xia Qing met Xiao Yan was the day before military training. She had heard of Xiao Yan's name a long time ago. He was ranked first in the city in the high school entrance examination, and she was ranked second. That day, the young man took the initiative to walk up to her, pestered her to become her deskmate, and said confidently: "I met you five minutes before anyone else."
On New Year's Eve, the boy suddenly came to the door of the orphanage and confessed his love to her, and she agreed while crying and laughing.
Not long after the college entrance examination, he proposed to her. That year, she was eighteen and he was eighteen, but Xiao Yan asked her, "Do you want to marry him?"
She nodded blankly and went with him to get the certificate abroad. From then on, he was the oar of her lonely boat, taking her ashore, giving her a sense of security, taking her to where she wanted to go, giving her freedom, and even giving her a home.
Marriage at the age of eighteen was a huge gamble, and he couldn't let her lose the bet. Fortunately, he didn't let her lose the bet either.
