Xia Jing is always sick.
She's tiny, timid, and slow to react. The village children call her a little fool and don't like playing with her.
Xia Jing doesn't mind. She doesn't want to play with them anyway.
One day, a luxury car comes to the village.
The boy is tall, long-legged, and handsome. When he steps out of the car with a cold expression, his eyes sweep lightly across the area...
In that instant, Xia Jing's heart stops. She stares at him, stunned, feeling as if her soul has been stolen.
Xia Jing has never seen anyone so beautiful. She thinks he must be an angel.
She wants to follow the angel everywhere.

Jiang Heng has barely returned to his hometown when a little fool starts clinging to him.
The first time she sees him, she drools.
Who wants to play with a kid who hasn't even grown all her teeth? Jiang Heng has no time for her and spends all day holed up in the house playing video games.
But the little brat doesn't give up. Every day, she hides outside and secretly watches him. Sometimes Jiang Heng gets fed up with being watched and shoots her a cold look, only to see the child's face slowly turn red.
“...”
Jiang Heng puts down his game console and goes outside.
When Xia Jing sees him suddenly come out, she doesn't know what to do and tries to run away like a kitten.
Jiang Heng catches the disobedient kitten and smiles. “Why do you cling to me every day? Hmm?”
Xia Jing lowers her head, too shy to look at him. Her ears are bright red. After a long while, she stammers, “Because, big brother... you, you're pretty...”
“...”
Jiang Heng coldly sends her away. “Even if I'm pretty, you still can't stare at me. Go play at your own house.”
Xia Jing says okay and leaves.
The next day, Xia Jing comes to see him with a basket of apples.
“Big brother, I finished playing at home. These apples were just picked, and they're really sweet. They're for you.”
“...”
On the third day, Xia Jing holds a flower crown made from wildflowers and weeds.
“Big brother, I finished playing. This flower crown is so pretty. Let me put it on you.”
“...”
On the fifth day, Xia Jing climbs the tree in front of his house with a jar of fireflies.
“Big brother, look at the fireflies!”
Bored during the school break, Chu Yi comes to the village to visit his best friend.
A long time ago, he'd heard his friend complain that a little puppy was always clinging to him.
Chu Yi sees her and realizes his friend wasn't exaggerating. “Hahaha, she even waits for you while you use the bathroom? Look at her, watching you with those big, eager eyes. What a little puppy.”
To his surprise, Jiang Heng's face immediately darkens. He covers the child's ears and scolds him. “Who are you calling a puppy? Apologize to her.”
Chu Yi: ...?
Hello? Do you really change your tune that fast, bro??
1. The heroine has a powerful rose-colored filter when it comes to the hero: “Sure, he's cold, swears, and has a terrible temper, but he's an angel.”
2. The hero is extremely possessive, all talk and no action, and incredibly hypocritical: “I can call her a little puppy or a little fool, but if any of you say one bad thing about her, you're done for.”
3. The heroine is eight and the hero is fifteen. There's an age gap, but they're both still childish little dorks (?).
