Sheng Xitang and Lu Yihuai had been at odds since they were little.
If she turned in her homework late, Lu Yihuai would write her name down without hesitation.
He'd even make her wash off the heavy makeup she secretly wore to look pretty.
Love letters from boys in class never even made it into Sheng Xitang's hands.
How could anyone be this annoying? Sob sob.
No matter how much Sheng Xitang disliked him, Lu Yihuai kept a stern eye on her, and remained impeccable in every way.
Sheng Xitang gradually got used to his keeping her in line, and even developed a strange kind of dependence on him.
When she got lost while out having fun and was cornered by two or three young thugs, she instinctively cried out in fear, "Lu Yihuai, "
As if answering her prayer, Lu Yihuai really did appear.
The boy stood tall and straight, his uniform jacket billowing in the wind and revealing a glimpse of his lean waist.
That night, the narrow alley was dark and gloomy.
Looking up, Sheng Xitang could see his broad back and the two fresh wounds on his left arm.
Without warning, her heart trembled.

But then Lu Yihuai was taken away by his biological parents.
On the day he left, Sheng Xitang's parents asked if she wanted to go see him off. With red eyes, she shut the door. "Who'd want to see him off? Lu Yihuai is the most annoying person ever!"
But from that day on, Sheng Xitang threw herself into studying. She went from ranking near the bottom to climbing steadily until her scores were good enough to get into a top university.
Years later, a reporter asked Lu Yihuai, the youngest recipient of a physics award, what the thing he regretted least was.
The man gently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. His voice carried through the microphone to every corner of the venue. "To be precise, there are two things."
"One: growing up by her side."
"Two: marrying her."
