Tang Yanyan is one of those children who are "forced to be sensible".
It's frustrating, and there's nothing I can do.
After all, the essence of human beings is still the pursuit of beauty.
Moreover, during childhood, children's aesthetic sense has not yet fully developed. In their eyes, the most crucial factor in distinguishing whether someone is good-looking or not is their body shape.
—Thin is considered beautiful, fat is considered ugly.
So, Tang Yanyan, who was still a chubby little girl at the time, couldn't fit into the circle of other children at all and was ostracized in various ways, even though she had a lot of pocket money, which was more than the majority of other children.
But it didn't do any good.
Children don't have a concept of money, so they won't befriend someone just for money.
No matter how precocious someone is, there's always a limit.
Although Tang Yanyan is sensible, she is always alone and longs to be part of a group, to have friends, and to play together.
However, due to being ostracized, Tang Yanyan was unable to integrate into any circle.
She tries to fit in, then gets kicked out, her confidence is shattered, she sinks into a slump for a few days, then picks herself up and tries to find her friends again, wanting to fit in...
An endless loop.
After this happened so many times, Tang Yanyan's confidence was completely shattered.
She was desperate, thinking she would never find friends in her life, and that the sky was about to fall.
Children's world is so small.
Even the smallest thing is like the sky falling down for them.
Just when all hope seemed lost and despair enveloped Tang Yanyan...
Her father arranged a marriage for her.
It is said that at a party, her father met Xia Che's father. The two had a pleasant conversation, as they were old friends. In addition to finalizing a few collaborations, when they learned that the children of the two families were about the same age, Tang's father, emboldened by alcohol, took the opportunity to propose that the two families become in-laws.
Although the Tang family was not as powerful as the Xia family at the time, it was still a prominent family. They were neither offended nor flattered.
The two companies are not that far apart in status.
Moreover, the Xia family at the time was indeed envious of the technology held by the Tang family, which was very important for them to enter new fields.
If the two families could form a marriage alliance, and at the same time share this new technology with their own families...
Is there any relationship in this world more stable than family ties?
As long as the two families are united by marriage, the stability of the relationship will be guaranteed, and they can confidently treat the Tang family as their own.
Coincidentally, before Tang's father made this request, Xia Kehan, the head of the Xia family, had already considered this matter and even held an internal family meeting, which passed it unanimously.
Tang's father's suggestion at this time was exactly what Xia Kehan wanted to hear.
And so, the marriage agreement between the two families was finalized.
However, considering that the two children are still young, it would be subject to public scrutiny if the engagement were put in writing at such a young age. Therefore, the two families reached a consensus to let the two children develop feelings for each other before they come of age. If they can successfully develop feelings for each other, they can get engaged directly after they come of age.
If, by the time the two children reach adulthood, they still don't show any interest in that area...
They won't force it.
Marriage is something that cannot be forced between two families of similar status; in fact, it can backfire.
After all, neither of them needs to please the other. In each other's eyes, marriage can enhance their own strength, but if they don't get married, it won't affect their respective development. So, at the level of powerful families, marriage, which is something that makes people turn pale at the mention of it, is much more Zen-like in the eyes of these two families.
The failure of the marriage alliance will not affect the relationship between the two families.
With this "whatever happens, happens" attitude, Tang Yanyan was sent to the Xia family by the Tang family and stayed there under the pretext of needing a place to stay.
"Are you Xia Che?"
Tang Yanyan readily accepted the idea of needing to stay at the Xia family's house, but all the children in the neighborhood refused her request, and Tang Yanyan was looking for a change of scenery anyway.
Now, it's like a pillow has come to my head when I'm feeling sleepy.
However, when looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Tang Yanyan's gaze lingered on his slender body, and then her eyes dimmed.
This guy... is so thin.
hateful.
Why isn't he a chubby guy?
Tang Yanyan's only near-successful attempt to make friends was with a similarly chubby boy. As she was rejected more and more, Tang Yanyan gradually developed her own set of rules for making friends.
—Find a child who is the same size as her, or about the same size.
The success rate will be significantly improved.
From being outright rejected, it has improved to almost succeeding.
This is terrible...
Although his father had told him that the boy named Xia Che was easy to talk to and get along with, but...
This skinny guy will probably reject me again, just like everyone else, right?
Tang Yanyan clutched the hem of her clothes, her eyes growing even darker.
what to do?
The food at the Xia family's house was delicious, the bed was soft, and the room was bigger than my own.
There are even 24-hour snack shops right outside the door, so her parents won't care if she sneaks ice cream while living here.
It's simply heaven!
Although Tang Yanyan had just arrived here, she already didn't want to go back.
But if I can't get along with Xia Che, will I have to suffer another major setback?
Just thinking about it makes me feel so hopeless...
"Yes, that's me. Are you Tang Yanyan?"
