If there was anyone who left an unforgettable impression on Si Qian in the first half of her life, it was surely the brothers Zhou Xiaowen and Zhou Liwen.
Si Qian's greatest regret was treating Zhou Xiaowen as a stand-in for Zhou Liwen, then later pouring her heart out as she begged for his forgiveness.
Zhou Xiaowen demanded hysterically, "Do you think I'll fall for it a second time? Persimmon, there's a limit to how much you can lie. Is it fun to treat me like an idiot?"
Years passed, but he never managed to forget her.
Si Qian took the initiative and hugged him. She felt his body jolt when she touched him, then heard his heart pounding like a drum. "I think I've fallen in love with you... In this love of ours, there is no mere use or deception."
For no reason he could explain, most of Zhou Xiaowen's anger vanished. He pulled her fiercely into his arms, as if he meant to merge her into his very bones. "Then swear it! This lifetime, you'll only ever fall for me. Wherever I go, I'll keep you tucked into my waistband!"
...Once Si Qian got to know Zhou Xiaowen, she would discover he was the sweetest boyfriend in the world. No matter how big a fight they had, he was always easy to appease.
