Spring Joy

Six-year age gap / marriage first, love later / childhood sweethearts / Beijing social circle / happy ending

Xia Zhu grew up in a life of luxury, always getting everything she wanted, except for one person she could never have.

When Xu Mo was in college, he had a girlfriend who matched him in every way except for coming from a less wealthy family. With the tacit approval of their elders, Xia Zhu deliberately broke them up.

Xu Mo, usually even-tempered, flew into a rage when he found out. Before long, he cut off all his connections in China and left for a foreign country alone.

Xia chased after him all the way to the airport and clung to him, refusing to let go. Xu Mo held his suitcase and looked at the girl he'd taken care of since she was little, his expression filled with unmistakable disappointment. "Xia Zhu, don't make me hate you."

Years later, the two met again in Beijing. This time, Xia Zhu was the one avoiding him.

By a twist of fate, they unexpectedly married in a whirlwind. Xia Zhu always thought Xu Mo was in love with someone else, so she didn't dare bother him again.

Until one night, after getting drunk, Xia Zhu drove out to pick Xu Mo up in the middle of winter, wearing only a thin pair of pajamas.

When Xu Mo came out and saw her walking toward him with her shoulders hunched and worry all over her face, the emotions he'd been suppressing surged up all at once.

Xu Mo's heart softened. He stepped forward and hugged her, then murmured drunkenly in her ear, "Comrade Xia, I've never regretted marrying you."
