At the age of 15, Xu Chenli transferred from Shanghai to Hong Kong. On the first day, she noticed the unreasonable and beautiful boy by the window - "like an arrogant kitten."
Everyone thought Xie Xinheng was cold and unapproachable, but she was the only one who thought he was cute. So she pursued her openly for three months. On the first day of her first year of high school, he finally held her hand with the tips of his ears red.
During their three years in high school, they were the most dazzling couple.
On graduation night, at the top of Victoria Peak and under the fireworks at Victoria Harbor, he turned around and looked into her eyes:
"Xu Chenli, I want to have a family with you. Not in the future, but now. You marry me and then go to London to study. I will wait for you in Hong Kong."
That summer, they flew to London to get the certificate.
Eighteen-year-old Xu Chenli was crazy about love. Witnessed by all her relatives and friends, she became his Mrs. Xie.
Then, she went to London to study art, and he stayed in Hong Kong to study finance.
Nine thousand kilometers, seven hours time difference, four years of love in a foreign country.
When she was wearing a summer dress, it was already late at night when he was wearing a coat.
He prepared to say goodnight while she watched the sunrise.
He worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, listening to her breathing.
When she encountered a creative bottleneck, she broke down and cried. He helped her revise her work statement across time zones, listened to her cry, and sent her materials.
He thought she couldn't think well, so he said "today is not a good day", and she coaxed him over the phone, just like she coaxed him in high school.
For four years, they flew to each other's city once a month.
He lived in her apartment in London, and she returned to Hong Kong to live in their marital home.
Every reunion is like a wedding.
Four years later she graduated and returned to China.
He stood at the airport pick-up gate, just like he did when he saw her off.
He took her luggage, lowered his head and smiled:
"Mrs. Xie, you don't have to worry about the time difference anymore."
She stood up on tiptoes and kissed his chin:
"Mr. Xu, I said I would come back."
Concept: Distance is not the opponent of love, suspicion is. Dedicated to all those who are experiencing long-distance or foreign relationships - brave people deserve to be rewarded with a home.
