When Will An Yan's Heart Be Free of Ink?

Three-year-old Yi Anyan met newborn Chen Mo. From then on, Yi Anyan's eyes and heart held only Chen Mo, while Chen Mo's eyes and heart were occupied by Yi Anyan.

Chen Mo had been born for several days when she saw Yi Anyan and smiled for the first time. It was the first of Chen Mo's firsts that Yi Anyan claimed. When Chen Mo was four months old, she spoke for the first time. It wasn't "Mama" or "Papa," but "Big Brother." Chen Yuan was very upset, while Yi Anyan was delighted. That was the second of Chen Mo's firsts that Yi Anyan claimed. ... When Chen Mo was twelve, she took a bad friend's advice and gave her first kiss to Yi Anyan. That was the nth of Chen Mo's firsts that Yi Anyan claimed. ... On Chen Mo's eighteenth birthday, Yi Anyan finally lured her into the wolf's den and devoured her whole. That was the nth-nth of Chen Mo's firsts that Yi Anyan claimed.

One day, Chen Mo looked up from her book and asked Yi Anyan, her face full of curiosity, "Anyan, Anyan, when did you first start having me in your heart?" Yi Anyan put an arm around Chen Mo and smiled. "When have I ever not had you in my heart?" "Before you met me!" Chen Mo pouted. "Momo, the Yi Anyan who existed before he met Chen Mo may have been called Yi Anyan, but he definitely wasn't the Yi Anyan he is now, and he never would have become who he is now. So when has Yi Anyan ever not had Chen Mo in his heart?" Yi Anyan stroked Chen Mo's head, his gaze tender enough to melt.
