Tenderly Cherished, Deeply Loved

Zhong Qing was a crybaby as a child, often bullied by others. None of the kids at kindergarten wanted to play with her.

Her only childhood companion was a "boy" named Lian Xi who lived upstairs from her.

Lian Xi didn't talk much, but quietly remembered everything Zhong Qing said.

Lian Xi didn't like to smile, but would curl her lips into a smile when Zhong Qing showed her the pictures she'd drawn.

Lian Xi wasn't afraid of pain and would step in whenever Zhong Qing was bullied.

In Zhong Qing's heart, Xixi was her superhero, the little sun of her life.

She said, "Xixi, when I grow up, I'm definitely going to marry you."

Later, after her parents divorced, Zhong Qing moved overseas with her mother. Sixteen years later, she returned to China to settle the inheritance of her father's estate.

But her father's will came with a condition: she could inherit only if she got married.

Zhong Qing thought of her childhood friend Lian Xi, so she found a way to track her down and boldly proposed.

"Xixi, I'm all grown up now. Let's get married."

"Are you sure we can get married?"

A low, feminine voice sounded. Zhong Qing looked up, staring in shock at the beautiful, cool woman before her.

How could her Xixi be a woman?!
