Childhood Sweethearts
Li Jilan had a childhood friend. The first time she saw him, he was in the courtyard counting fallen petals, with a delicate, doll-like face and a serious, well-behaved manner.
When she was about to leave, he tugged at the hem of her clothes and asked earnestly, "Little Sister Lan, will you come again tomorrow?"
Later, his family suffered a sudden misfortune, and he moved away. Two years later, by a twist of fate, they met again.
He had changed. The earnest, adorable face she remembered now held wary cruelty, like a little beast hurt by humans, letting no one come near.
It took Li Jilan a very, very long time to earn his trust. For the twelve years that followed, she never regretted her choice, never wavering or taking a single step back.
Before the age of seven, Jiang Yuzhi thought there was nothing in this world he feared. Revenge and freedom were all he had. After he turned seven, Li Jilan and revenge became all he had.
She had grown up surrounded by light and love, something he had never known. She entered his life when he was wandering alone in confusion, showed him hope, and shared her love with him without reservation.
In Jiang Yuzhi's eyes, Li Jilan was everything beautiful in the world.
