Prologue

  One step, two steps, three steps...... A lovely little girl wearing a princess dress and a handsome little boy with golden hair are playing by the fountain.

  The little girl walked unsteadily along the edge of the fountain, taking a step and swaying, like a flower standing on the edge of a mountain peak - swaying precariously.

  "Ah~~~~~" Suddenly, a tender cry pierced through the originally warm and cozy atmosphere.

  All I saw was the little girl's foot not stepping firmly, and she stepped into an empty space. Her whole body tilted and fell towards the icy fountain pool water. The little girl closed her eyes, fearing in her heart: Woe is me! Falling down will definitely hurt, and I'll become a drowned rat. When I get home, my mom will scold me~~~~~The little girl waited for the "splash" sound of falling into the water, but after waiting for a while, she didn't hear any sound at all.

  "Huh?" The little girl opened her eyes to find herself not in the icy water as she had expected, but instead in a warm embrace. She looked up at the little boy in surprise, seeing that he was drenched with sweat and his eyes were filled with worry and fear, his arms tightly wrapped around her.

  The two of them stared at each other for a while before the little boy finally couldn't help but speak up: "Xiao Lian, can you get up now?"

  The little girl came to her senses, quickly jumped out of his arms, and looked around nervously, asking: "You... what were you doing hugging me just now?" The little girl's face was bright red, she lowered her head and played with her little finger, this was the first time a boy had hugged her, and she felt a bit nervous!

  The little boy wiped the sweat from his face, raised his head and looked at the little girl with a bit of resentment, saying: "You said not to walk along the edge, but you insisted on walking. If I hadn't pulled you back in time just now, you would have fallen into the icy water by now."

  The little girl, although nervous, still raised her voice and said: "Then you...you can't hug me either! This is my first hug!" (Note: "First hug" means the first time hugging a boy, the first kiss is called "first kiss", so the first hug is naturally called "first hug")

  The little boy rolled his eyes at the little girl: "Do you think I want to hold you? You don't know how heavy you are, just like two old sows."

  The little girl listened to the boy's words, and her eyes were about to fall with tears, but she still bit her lip tightly. After the tears returned home, she said: "You don't have to hug me, do you? I didn't ask you to hug me."

  The little boy looked at the little girl with a complex gaze, and suddenly a subtle, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his mouth. He leaned in close to her and whispered in her ear: "I get it, you want me to let you fall down, then I'll save you again, and give you CPR, right?"

  "What the...!!! You're talking nonsense, I don't want you to give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!!!! Humph, Xiao Ze is a pervert, Xiao Lian won't talk to you again and won't play with you anymore." The little girl pretended to be angry, crossing her arms and turning her back on the little boy.

  The little boy heard that the little girl would not care about him anymore, so he hurried to the front of the little girl and said anxiously: "Xiao Lian, you won't care about me from now on? Don't be like that, I was just joking earlier! You're going to be my bride in the future, how can you not care about me?" The little boy lifted up the little girl's lowered head, making her look at him.

  After hearing the little boy's words, the little girl's face, which had just cooled down, turned red again. She said with a flushed face: "Who said... who said I want to be your bride?! I... I don't want to be the bride of a pervert!! In the future, I'm going to marry the most handsome guy in the world, and he must love me very much, not flirtatious, only smile at me, only be good to me, and most importantly - his grades are also the best!!! The little girl had already transformed from a shy girl into a standard flower idiot, with her eyes shining like peach blossoms...

  The little boy looked at the little girl excitedly and said: "Really? If I do what you say, will you marry me?"

  The little girl looked into the little boy's sincere eyes and stuttered: "Of... of course it's true! I, Han Xue Lian, have never..."

  They all keep their promises."

  The little boy, after getting the correct answer from the little girl, happily ran home and said: "Mom, do you know? Xiao Lian promised to marry me when she grows up, she agreed..."

  The little girl watched the little boy's departing figure and couldn't help but laugh. But what she didn't think of was that her few careless words would become the little boy's goal to strive for.

  This week, the little girl has been staying at home, sitting by the window and staring at the room of the little boy opposite her. In her heart, she always thinks that in the next second, the little boy will mischievously appear in front of the window and happily greet her.

  A week has passed and the little boy who used to come visit her every day hasn't been back for a whole week.

  She sighed in front of the window, and suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" The little girl said weakly towards the outside of the door.

  "Xiao Lian, it's Mom. Mom has something for you." Although they were separated by a door, the little girl's mother's voice sounded very familiar.

  "Oh, I'll go open the door." The little girl walked to the back of the door, opened it, and saw her mother frowning at her. Hmm? Her mom used to smile when looking at her, what's wrong today? Is there something unhappy? "Mom, do you have something for me?"

  "Oh, Xiao Lian, Xiao Cui and them moved house yesterday. He asked me to give you this box, he wanted to give it to you half a day ago, but yesterday mom was too busy, so I forgot, sorry!" The little girl's mother looked at the little girl with two big watery eyes, as if she had done something terribly wrong and was afraid of not getting the little girl's forgiveness.

  "Mom, it's okay... give me the box!" The little girl took the box from her mother and went into her own room. She walked to the window with the box in hand, looking at it as tears flowed down her face without realizing it. Xiao Cheng had left, why didn't he tell me? Waaah, I'll never see Xiao Cheng again. After crying for a while, the little girl stopped her tears and opened the outer layer of exquisite wrapping paper on the box. Inside was another exquisite small box and a notebook with a password lock. Underneath the notebook was a letter. The little girl opened the letter and saw that it said:

  Little Love

  When you see this letter, I've already left. Sorry, we can't play together anymore. I don't want to leave either, but mom said: if Xiaochuan wants dad to live on, he must go with mom, and dad has to have surgery, or else he won't make it. No choice, I had to follow mom, but she promised me that after dad's surgery is done well, she'll bring me back to find you. Xiao Lian, you must wait for me, I will definitely come back to find you!!

  Also, that diary is the one I gave you, and you must write a sentence in it every day: Li Xi Chen, I miss you so much! When I come back, I'll check it. The password for the diary is 520, don't you think it's a strange password? I also thought it was strange when I bought the diary. I asked the owner of the stationery store why the password was 520, but he wouldn't tell me.

  That necklace is one of my parents' couple necklaces, and you can't buy this outside! It's custom-made. After I grew up, my parents gave it to me and told me that if I met a girl I liked, I should change the name on the necklace and give it to her, so we could be together forever.

  I asked my mom to go with me to the jewelry store to change it. Yours says: "Forever loving Li Xi Chen only". And mine says: "Forever loving Han Xue only". Haha, isn't that romantic? You must be touched to tears!

  You have to wear it all the time, even when you take a bath, don't take it off, got it?! I originally wanted to give it to you after we grew up, but I was afraid that if I came back to find you later, we would both change and not recognize each other. So this couple necklace is an important item for us to find each other! You can't lose it!

  Haha, does this count as secretly deciding our marriage?! Hehe, you're destined to be my bride, you can't escape...

  Hee-chul

  The little girl looked at the crooked and twisted words on the letter, couldn't help but burst out laughing. She took out a small box from the box, opened it, and saw a white gold chain shining brightly in the sunlight. She carefully took it out and put it on her left wrist. She placed her hand in front of her eyes, each love-shaped pendant engraved with words representing love, connected together to form a chain of love. The chain sparkled under the sunlight, dazzling the little girl's eyes. Xiaochan, we will definitely meet again. The little girl gazed up at the sky and murmured...
