Shen Yin had loved playing with Chi Qiao ever since they were little. Falling in love with her was only to be expected.
That summer, he stood on the stage and swept his gaze over the thousands of people below, finally stopping at Class Five, Grade Twelve.
Beneath the bright sunlight, he looked at the girl he liked and gave her a lazy smile. His lips moved: "I'm going to ace the college entrance exams and win you over, too."
The whole school erupted.
Chi Qiao narrowed her eyes and smiled at the dazzling Shen Yin onstage.
Shen Yin gripped the microphone, the corners of his mouth rising. "Chi Qiao, will you go out with me?"
When Chi Qiao was a senior in college, her high school class monitor organized a reunion. After finishing her thesis, she hurried over to a bar.
She was exhausted, her eyelids heavy. The private room door opened, and someone walked in. Judging by his build, there was a mature air about him. The proud, rebellious boy from high school had changed a lot.
Everyone greeted him. "Shen Yin, long time no see."
He nodded. "Long time no see." Then he walked over to Chi Qiao and looked down at her, sleepy-eyed. His voice was warm and magnetic. "Chi Qiao, have you missed me? I've missed you so much."
"She's getting sleepy, so I'll take her home first." With that, he took Chi Qiao by the hand and led her out of the room.
Shen Yin held a bouquet and pulled Chi Qiao into his arms. His lips brushed her earlobe, and his magnetic voice sounded steady and mature. "I want to marry you. Will you marry me?"
"When did you start thinking about that?"
"On your twentieth birthday. I wanted to come back to the country and take you straight to get our marriage license."
While Sun Wukong rode in on his seven-colored cloud, I came to propose with a ring and the love letters I'd written you over four years but never sent.
