Tang Zhengde's eyes went straight; he had always known that Zhang Hualian was beautiful. As a girl, she was exceptionally well-known in the neighborhood. If it hadn't been for the setback due to the "sent-down youth" movement and the subsequent pregnancy, there would have likely been a line of suitors at the Zhang family's threshold.
Years had passed, and though Zhang Hualian's face now bore a few wrinkles and showed signs of aging, in his eyes, she remained the most beautiful.
Now, the Zhang Hualian before him seemed to transport Tang Zhengde back to his youth, to the very first time he laid eyes on her beauty and was captivated.
Tang Yue snickered quietly and slipped away, leaving the space for Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde.
"You're so beautiful," Tang Zhengde said with a wide grin, and in his eyes, there was room for no one else but Zhang Hualian.
