A new family moved into the compound, bringing with them a little devil who was bad at everything, from raiding bird nests to catching fish in the river.
The little devil wasn't afraid of anything, except for delicate, frail girls who burst into tears at the slightest touch.
Then, while avoiding a girl who was crying her eyes out, he climbed into someone else's yard and spotted a little girl on the balcony, holding Doraemon and standing on tiptoe to peer outside.
"Yue-ge, don't you hate playing with girls who cry?"
His friend Chen Xian looked curiously at the little girl following Peng Yue, peeking timidly at them with a pair of watery eyes.
The little devil stepped in front of her. "This is my little sister, Duotang."
"Hello, Duotang!" Chen Xian greeted her with a grin.
The little devil shot him a murderous look. "Who said you could call her Duotang?"
Chen Xian: "..."
Peng Yue, the little devil, thought there might be something wrong with him. He wanted to see Shen He cry. Whenever she cried, his heart ached and his legs went weak; he couldn't handle it. But he still wanted to make her cry.
One day, when Peng Yue was being interviewed, the host asked, "Mr. Peng, could you and Ms. Shen tell us what you like doing most together?"
Peng Yue: "Making little cakes for her."
Shen He: "Eating the little cakes he makes."
Host: "..."
"How long did it take you to get used to each other as a couple?"
Peng Yue: "We were classmates for all four years of college."
The host couldn't help remarking, "Not many college couples stay together in the end."
Peng Yue: "We were classmates in high school, middle school, and elementary school too."
Shen He: "I met him when I was five."
The host froze. "Then when did your love story begin?"
Peng Yue remembered that afternoon, when he climbed into the little Western-style house and saw the girl on the balcony, standing on tiptoe and clutching the blue robot cat, her beautiful eyes soft and bright with tears.
That one glance back was a promise for a lifetime.
