"Listen to me!" the girl said impatiently. "I've never been a big sister before, but I'm confident I can be a good one. If anyone bullies you, I'll fight back for you. I hate it when people cry, so you're not allowed to cry anymore, or I'll cut all your hair off and make sure you can't be a little princess!"
"I won't cry..." Yan Niannian quickly wiped her eyes and said anxiously, "I won't cry anymore."
"You get candy if you don't cry." The girl rummaged in her skirt pocket and pulled out a few candies. "Here you go. If you eat my candy, you have to be a good girl and listen to me from now on. I'll allow you to follow me around as my little follower."
Yan Niannian tremblingly reached out and took the candies. Later, she learned that the willful girl's name was Feng Guang.
That year, Yan Niannian was five years old and Feng Guang was six. However, more than ten years later, Yan Niannian still remembered the taste of those candies, strawberry flavored, especially sweet.
The aunt at the orphanage said that long hair is difficult to manage, so Yan Niannian's long hair was cut off. But Feng Guang said that only princesses have long hair, so she was "forced" to grow her hair long again. The aunt at the orphanage said that she couldn't eat too much candy because it would cause cavities, and then no one would take her to the dentist. But Feng Guang gave her lots and lots of candy. Feng Guang said, "It doesn't matter if you have cavities. I have a lot of pocket money. When you have cavities, we'll get a tooth made of gemstones that will never get cavities."
Yan Niannian still remembers that she originally didn't like sweet things, but that year she ate far too much candy with Fengguang.
Children's friendships are innocent and pure, but as they grow older, they also develop more selfishness.
As the movie ended, the audience began to leave, leaving only the two people locked in a stalemate.
Yan Niannian broke free from Shen Xing's hand and said coldly, "Feng Guang is my sister. What's wrong with me paying too much attention to her?"
“But I am your husband.” Shen Xing grabbed Yan Niannian’s wrist again, his face dark, and asked, word by word, “Yan Niannian, what am I to you?”
“Didn’t you say that you are my husband? In my heart, you are of course my husband too.” Yan Niannian’s words sounded perfectly reasonable, but this was not an answer that satisfied Shen Xing.
Shen Xing's eyes darkened further. He rarely showed such a determined look, but now, there was something he had to figure out. "Perhaps I should ask you a different question... In your heart, who is more important, me or Xia Fengguang?"
"Why ask such a question?" Yan Niannian smiled awkwardly. "Shen Xing, you are my husband, and Feng Guang is my sister. In my heart, you are not two different kinds of people at all."
“Even if we’re different, there will always be comparisons.” Shen Xing’s sharp eyes were fixed on Yan Niannian. “Tell me, in your heart, who is more important, me or Xia Fengguang?”
His unwavering gaze told Yan Niannian that he needed an answer today.
Yan Niannian slowly suppressed her smile. She was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Shen Xing, I've only known you for seven years, but I've known my sister for twenty. If we were to compare the two of you, who would I think is more important?"
Shen Xing slowly released his grip on Yan Niannian's hand; he already knew the answer.
