    A new sweet romance novel, a super sweet campus series. Childhood sweethearts, from school to wedding! No breakups, no angst, no clashes in values or relationships. Come and check it out! You've seen the title, but please read the whole thing! 🥺 If the writing is a bit awkward, you can skip it, after all, it's just a couple's interaction. 🥺🍉🥺 Three chapters will be updated daily. There are no major misunderstandings. (The misunderstanding isn't that the male lead talking to other girls makes the female lead unhappy; the male lead is just jealous.) Because of their parents' separation in their previous life, the male lead hopes to be her childhood sweetheart in this life, and fate grants his wish—not only are they childhood sweethearts, but they also come from good families. The female lead's parents have special jobs, so she lives with the male lead and rarely returns home. Their mothers are very close friends, and the male and female leads were betrothed when they were very young. (Secretly telling you: This book has a lot of stories about their childhood.) As they spend more time together, the male lead naturally falls in love with the female lead. [Learned] Character traits: The male lead is academically gifted, very devoted and gentle, only affectionate towards the female lead, and likes to call her "Baby" or "Zhibao." He's not abusive, just a bit obsessive, not allowing the female lead to talk to other boys. (His obsession becomes apparent later, but he has strong moral principles and doesn't lock the female lead in a dark room or do anything to make her suffer.) The female lead is a gentle yet mature woman. She has a temper when people treat her badly and isn't a naive, innocent girl. She's considerate, devoted, and dotes solely on the male lead, disliking flirtation with other boys. 😳😘😘
