"What is it?" The girl set down her paintbrush and looked at him.
The boy brought his hands out from behind his back. A piece of chocolate rested in his small palms. The tips of his ears red, he put on a calm smile and held the chocolate out to her.
A glimmer of amusement crossed the girl's eyes, and the tips of her ears turned pink. She took the chocolate and ate it. "It's delicious. Thank you, Gu Gu."
"Mm." The boy's ears reddened, and he answered softly.
The girl lay facedown on her desk, her arms resting on a book she had only halfway through. Her face was peaceful, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she were having a lovely dream.
The boy, his face stern, slowly approached. Seeing the girl sleeping peacefully, his expression softened. He gently picked her up and carried her out.
The young man came riding on a bamboo horse, circling the bed and tossing green plums.
Husband and wife stay together into old age.
This is a heartwarming story.
A sweet romance, a sweet romance, a sweet romance.
I'll say it three times because it's important!
A little wish-fulfilling, somewhat simplistic.
