   The first book was packed with plot points, and the author's writing was excellent. While reading, I kept imagining Yu Xi's performance in "Moonlight Sonata," which was very youthful and also had a sharp tongue and a touch of arrogance. I've already finished the second book, and there are still people waiting! The male and female leads in this book are quite eccentric and crazy. The female lead isn't a saint, and the male lead is a pure, puppy-dog type. The male lead's mother is a fantastic and very novel character.

    She liked him, and he knew it. He had feelings for her, and she knew that too. It was an immense honor to be associated with Sui Sui's name! So, finally, after a week in Nancheng, Xie Jingteng, in his own way, linked Xie Jingteng and Wen Suining's names together once again, just as they had been since childhood. For some reason, she suddenly felt an urgent need for a promise from Xie Jingteng. He had been by her side since childhood; if he hadn't disappeared for four or five months without explanation, perhaps Wen Suining wouldn't have felt so uneasy. From the moment he saw her at Nancheng No. 1 High School, he understood that he, Xie Jingteng, could never escape or avoid this girl named Wen Suining in his life. It was his fault; if he hadn't left Beijing, the girl certainly wouldn't be so uneasy. "Xie Jingteng," Wen Suining spoke softly. The two were no more than an arm's length apart. Xie Jingteng looked at the girl before him with utterly earnest eyes, her clear gaze reflecting only his own image. Then he heard her speak, her voice soft and sweet: "Xie Jingteng, when I'm eighty, will you still be by my side, watching my shadow?" Wen Suining felt her heart pound. Time seemed to stand still. Looking at Xie Jingteng, she heard the boy holding her hand, his deep eyes gazing at her with equal affection: "Suisui, when we're eighty, we'll still be holding hands like this." This was the promise Xie Jingteng, at eighteen, made to Wen Suining. If he said it, she believed it! The college entrance exam was less than a few months away. Everything Suisui wanted, everything he was supposed to do, he would naturally make it all happen after the exam. Everyone knew that without little Suining in Xie Jingteng's childhood, there wouldn't be the Xie Jingteng of today. They were childhood friends, almost the same height when they were little, but after entering junior high school, Xie Jingteng suddenly grew taller than her. Now, she couldn't even reach his shoulder when standing in front of him. But no matter what, she really loved Xie Jingteng. Xie Jingteng, however, looked at the girl standing before him. From childhood to adulthood, he hadn't missed any of Sui Sui's important moments. He suddenly regretted leaving the capital without saying goodbye, yet was also extremely grateful that the girl had come to Nancheng for him… Xie Jingteng suddenly produced a delicate little box, which he opened in front of Wen Sui Ning. Inside was a Pluto bracelet: "Su Sui, happy eighteenth birthday! You know I study astronomy, and many sources describe Pluto as terrifying, but compared to other planets in the solar system, Pluto is the most romantic planet discovered so far." "Su Sui, I'm giving you this planet now." Xie Jingteng gently placed the bracelet on Wen Sui Ning's smooth, delicate hand. After he finished putting it on, she asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Xie Jingteng, you said it's the most romantic planet. If I make a wish on it, will it come true?" "Why don't you try, Sui Sui?" Xie Jingteng smiled at the young girl. If her wish really came true, then she would truly be the happiest person in the world today. Wen Sui Ning turned around and saw Xie Jingteng lighting a small cake, walking towards her, stopping in front of her, looking at her affectionately and earnestly, saying, "Sui Sui, for the past eighteen years, my life has been all about you. We went to kindergarten together, elementary school together, and middle school together. I know I was wrong; leaving without saying goodbye made you sad for a long time..." "Sui Sui, I swear, I will never do such a terrible thing again in my life. I only want to be with you for the rest of my life." "Although we have to take the college entrance exam soon, and now isn't the best time to say these things, I still feel that being able to confess to you, whom I like, at eighteen is the luckiest thing in my life!" She had just made a wish on the Pluto bracelet, hoping that Xie Jingteng would confess to her soon—less than ten minutes had passed! Then Xie Jingteng continued, "Sui Sui, I like you, I like you so much!" "Xie Jingteng, I like you too, I like you so much!" Wen Suining's voice was soft, yet filled with joy; she was truly overjoyed! Wen Suining hadn't expected Xie Jingteng to confess to her on her eighteenth birthday. "We have to have a drink today! Si Bao, Boss, Lao Qiao, may our friendship last forever, and happy eighteenth birthday!" Gu Xu shouted. The other three exchanged glances, then smiled and raised their glasses: "Happy eighteenth birthday!" Sui Sui, happy eighteenth birthday! Xie Jingteng, happy eighteenth birthday to his Sui Sui, who wouldn't have to learn to cook, wouldn't have to do housework—she didn't have to do any of those things. Fireworks were dazzling but fleeting, but they wouldn't. The fireworks continued to bloom, illuminating the entire night sky. Even though it was past midnight, the streets and alleys outside were filled with joyous sounds. Xie Jingteng held Wen Suining in his arms, truly feeling a sense of peaceful contentment. His little girl had always been so well-behaved since she was little. So Xie Jingteng told himself from a young age that he must become strong, only then could he protect the sweet and gentle Sui Sui. "We didn't argue," Wen Sui Ning pouted. How could they argue? She was just too angry that he went to play with his cars again, and after the anger came a deep sense of fear. Because Wen Sui Ning's mother had died in a car accident. Xie Jingteng had been there for Wen Sui Ning during the time her mother was gone, so even though the little girl hadn't spoken clearly, Xie Jingteng knew what she meant. He was truly awful; he had made Sui Sui remember those painful things, causing her sadness and grief. "Xie Jingteng, I was so scared during those months you disappeared. I thought something had happened to you. I went to find Brother Si Nian, and he told me you were alright, but he wouldn't say where you were… You don't know how relieved I was when Brother Si Nian said you were okay… Later, when Sister Yangyang returned to China, she helped me find out where you were." Xie Jingteng suddenly grabbed Wen Suining's hand, then ran ahead of her with a little effort, pulling her forward. Xie Jingteng was much faster than Wen Suining, and she was carried forward by him, her eyes fixed on the tall figure of the young man, the warm winter sun shining on them… From being terrified upon hearing Director Yang's voice to feeling the cold wind blowing past her ears, Wen Suining's mood gradually softened, like the sun after a rainstorm, gradually warming up. Until that day, in the corridor of Nancheng No. 1 High School, the little girl suddenly appeared before him without warning. Xie Jingteng was completely stunned. He never expected that someone he hadn't seen for months would suddenly appear before him like this… At that moment, he felt as if his heart had come alive again. When he saw Sui Sui, he suddenly understood. No matter what, he didn't want the little girl to get hurt, so he had to stand up and shield her from those dirty things. Xie Jingteng, who had been lost for months, unable to find answers in smoking and racing, suddenly understood how foolish he had been the moment he saw Wen Sui Ning. He had chosen to run away when faced with trouble. Seeing the little girl's aggrieved appearance, Xie Jingteng's heart ached. For the first time in so many years, he felt like he wasn't a real man. He had run away out of fear, leaving Sui Sui to bear the pain alone. He clearly didn't want to hurt her, yet he had become the first person to hurt her. Xie Jingteng seemed to understand everything in an instant, and he seemed to have grown up overnight. He had to become strong; he had to be the one to protect Sui Sui from the wind and rain. Escaping is the most incompetent way to deal with things. Xie Jingteng regretted his choice and the months of avoidance he had endured. "Sui Sui," Xie Jingteng softly called her name. "Hmm?" "The college entrance exam is over. Let's go home. Our tickets are for next week." Xie Jingteng reached out and pinched her cheek. He chuckled and gently tightened his grip on Wen Sui Ning's hand. "Sui Sui, although life is a process of constant reunions and separations, we are different. I will never let go of your hand in this lifetime." Wen Sui Ning suddenly stopped, and Xie Jingteng stopped with her. The girl turned around and looked at Xie Jingteng. "Xie Jingteng, you have to keep your word. No matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to separate from me." Wen Sui Ning understood that life is never smooth sailing. She herself had experienced her mother's departure in junior high school, and Xie Jingteng had also suffered a lot since childhood. However, she still felt sad. After all, just over a month ago, the four of them were inseparable, living happily together in Nancheng. Hearing this, Wen Suining, the young master of the Xie Group and the heiress of the Wen Group, abruptly looked up at Xie Jingteng in front of her. Her heart trembled, and her mind went blank. He had just said she was his future wife… How could Liang Xinyi do this? How could she use her to threaten Xie Jingteng? Wen Suining had never imagined that she would one day become a tool for someone to threaten Xie Jingteng. She felt so sorry for him. The thought of Xie Jingteng being forced to flee the place he had grown up by his own mother filled Wen Suining with unbearable heartache, and she hugged Xie Jingteng, crying incessantly. Xie Jingteng had never expected that after the truth he had always worried about was revealed, the girl's first reaction was not anger or leaving him, but rather comforting him, telling him that it wasn't his fault, and that she felt sorry for him! Xie Jingteng hugged Wen Suining tightly. His Suining was always so good, so wonderful… They only knew that Wen Suining and Xie Jingteng had been together since high school, but they didn't know they had known each other since childhood. Xie Jingteng's heart belonged only to Wen Suining, just as Wen Suining's heart and eyes were only for Xie Jingteng. "Auntie is back, Suining." Xie Jingteng deliberately changed the subject. This whole affair was rather unbelievable. The day the two had their accident, Wei Wei had met the old monk. The old monk said their horoscopes were a match made in heaven, but after calculating, he frowned and said that both of them would face a major calamity this year. If they could overcome it safely, their lives would be peaceful and prosperous. Only then did he understand how much these two children, whom he had watched grow up, truly loved each other, enough to risk their lives for one another. Wen Suining belonged to Xie Jingteng for life. How could she not understand? They had grown up together; how could she not understand Xie Jingteng's feelings? Xie Jingteng took a deep breath, then hugged Wen Suining tightly, pressing his ear close to hers and whispering softly, "Suisui, I love you!" "Xie Jingteng, I love you too!" Wen Suining, the rest of our lives are long, I will protect you with my whole life. May you live a peaceful and happy life. Xie Jingteng, how lucky I am to have met you in this life, to hold your hand and grow old with you!
