<blockquote>When Luo Binghe was eleven he told everyone in his class that when he grew up, he was going to marry Mister Shen from “Stories and Songs with Shen Yuan”. Even his nice teacher had laughed at him—though she’d stopped laughing when Luo Binghe had punched the class bully Ming Fan, who’d jeered that “Stories and Songs” was for babies, hard enough to give the awful boy a bloody nose. Luo Binghe didn’t think laughter was an appropriate response to his declaration. After all, he hadn’t been joking. Luo Binghe adored that fresh-faced, becardiganed twenty year old television personality with his entire, earnest little heart. </blockquote>
