The next day, after finishing breakfast, Zhang Qian said to Madam Zhang, "Mom, I'm going to play with Liu Ming."
Madam Zhang smiled and replied, "Okay, but be careful."
"Mm!" Zhang Qian said as she left with her backpack.
She ran to the the Liu Family's house and was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard shouting from inside.
"I don't want to! I already said I don't want to!" Liu Ming Baby yelled.
Madam Liu was very angry: "Why are you being so disobedient?"
Mr. Liu tried to mediate: "Don't get upset; let's talk calmly."
Madam Liu took a deep breath: "Alright, I'm not angry. Now tell me, what do you want?"
Liu Ming Baby replied, "I want to betroth myself to Zhang Qian."
Zhang Qian was taken aback.
Madam Liu was also stunned: "Why?"
Liu Ming Baby answered, "No reason; I just like her."
Madam Liu frowned: "What do you like about her?"
Liu Ming Baby said, "I like her as a whole."
Zhang Qian remained speechless.
Madam Liu laughed in anger: "Do you even know what it means to like someone?"
Liu Ming Baby responded confidently, "I do."
Madam Liu stated firmly, "I don't care whether you understand or not; I still disagree."
Liu Ming Baby asked, "Why not?"
Madam Liu: "You are still young and don't understand. When you grow up, you will meet more and better people."
Liu Ming Baby: "When I grow up, I will only like her."
Madam Liu: "Do you know what love is? You don't understand at all; right now, it's just a novelty for you."
Liu Ming Baby: "I understand. I've liked her since I was little, and I've always wanted to be with her!"
Madam Liu: "I said no means no!"
Liu Ming Baby: "Why not?"
Madam Liu: "Because I am your mother!"
Liu Ming Baby: "……"
He angrily ran back to his room, slamming the door so hard it shook.
Zhang Qian stood at the door, feeling a bit sour inside. She didn't know what emotion it was—somewhat sad yet a bit pleased.
Zhang Qian turned around and went home. She told Madam Zhang about the incident.
Madam Zhang listened in silence for a moment before asking, "What do you think about it?"
Zhang Qian pressed her lips together: "I don't want to be betrothed to him."
Madam Zhang was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhang Qian replied, "Because I'm afraid that if I grow up and don't like him anymore, what will I do?"
Madam Zhang sighed and patted Zhang Qian's head: "Then we won't arrange it."
Zhang Qian: "Okay."
……
Many years later, Zhang Qian and Liu Ming Baby had both grown up.
Zhang Qian asked Liu Ming Baby: "Why did you want to be betrothed to me when we were kids?"
Liu Ming Baby chuckled softly, "Because I like you."
Zhang Qian asked, "Then why did you disagree later?"
Liu Ming Baby replied, "Because you disagreed."
Zhang Qian was taken aback.
Liu Ming Baby hugged her and said, "At that time, I didn't understand things well. I was afraid that after we made a childhood engagement, you would regret it in the future. So I preferred not to engage, at least this way, we could still be friends."
Zhang Qian remained silent.
She sniffed and looked up at him, "What if I had agreed back then?"
Liu Ming Baby smirked, "Then I would have trapped you."
Zhang Qian was speechless.
The holiday ended, and I returned to Xiangyang.
In the morning, I studied for half a day at a large library near the school and caught up with my studies.
I rubbed my sore neck and wanted to take a break while looking for some new books.
I wandered aimlessly along the shelves.
Suddenly, a book titled "Herb Collection" caught my attention.
I reached up and took the book down.
"Sorry..."
I looked down and apologized softly.
"It's okay," came a gentle voice from above.
I looked up in surprise.
