A sweet, well-behaved young woman moved into the Jiang family home.

Mrs. Jiang reminded Jiang Yu, "Tinghuan will be going to the same school as you. You're the older brother, so make sure you look after her."

Young Master Jiang sneered.

Everyone noticed that Jiang Yu, the campus heartthrob, had been awfully busy lately.

Busy taking a kid to school, picking her up afterward, and helping her with her homework.

Someone asked gossiping, "Does Jiang Yu like Song Tinghuan?"

His group of friends all insisted, "Impossible! Rabbits don't eat the grass by their own burrow. Brother Yu would never do something so classless!"

Later, on a summer night on an island, Jiang Yu placed one earbud in Song Tinghuan's ear.

"What song is it?" Song Tinghuan asked.

The boy looked at her, his dark eyes burning bright. "I. Like. You."

Song Tinghuan heard her heart pounding, like a rising tide, one wave after another.

[Bonus Scene]:

At an international high-level conference, a twelve-minute translation dazzled the internet.

The interpreter on camera had gentle features. Her eyes lowered and lifted as she took notes and translated rapidly, smoothly, and precisely.

Netizens exclaimed, "A top student! A goddess! My wife!"

An enthusiastic netizen spent the night digging through Song Tinghuan's past, only to find a fan named "jy" making their presence known under every one of her Weibo posts.

Netizen @jy: Are you Song laoshi's...?

Jy: Oh, her husband.

The whole internet: ???

The friends who used to defend Jiang Yu: ... (That damn son of a...)

The two made their first official public appearance together on the day China's first spaceport was completed.

One was the personal interpreter for the Chinese delegation; the other was the youngest engineer at the Aerospace Research Institute.

Their gazes met across the room. It was the twelfth year since they first met, and since he fell for her.

[Antique Restorer x Powerful Investor] [Marriage Before Love] [Age Gap]

Ruan Li had been in love with Huo Minglang for eight years and had finally received the news that the Ruan and Huo families were arranging their marriage. But before the engagement banquet, she saw Huo Minglang kissing his first love by the roadside.

The marriage alliance between their families was already set in stone. She couldn't get out of it, so all she could do was run.

She had just dragged her suitcase out through the back door of the villa when a black car pulled up by the road. The window rolled down, revealing a man with an elegant, aloof face.

Ruan Li swallowed and said softly, "Sixth Uncle."

Huo Yanzhou glanced at the young woman about to flee. "Don't run. I'll marry you."

Ruan Li: QAQ

*

Ruan Li didn't take her marriage to Huo Yanzhou seriously. After the wedding, she threw herself into her work, treating him with more respect than affection.

That was until she found a painting titled Spring Pear, painted three years earlier, in Huo Yanzhou's study while wearing a thin nightgown. Two lines in the man's elegant, sharp handwriting rested on the mica paper: "Red petals, clear pears; lonely spring snow in the courtyard."

Arms encircled her waist from behind. Huo Yanzhou's deep, resonant voice fell by her ear. "There's a second half to the poem: 'Half a cup of moonlight and breeze; let us sing together until our hair turns white.'"

Time drifted by, and at last, his wish came true.

*

No one expected that someone as dignified and distinguished as Huo Yanzhou would whisper the most moving words in the world to a young woman in the stillness of every midnight.

1. A restrained, self-controlled older man x a somewhat lively, proper little fairy

2. Eight-year age gap. Huo Minglang is the one who gets his just deserts; the male lead gets nothing but sweet romance (*^▽^*)

Theme: Every girl shines brightly.
