By Li Zhi

The “Prince Charming” in Yanzi’s Mind’s Eye

    While Yanzi studied at a junior middle school, a friend of her elder brother often came to play at her home, and then he became familiar with her little by little. Yanzi’s parents were out of health, so he did not waste words to help after knowing that her family met with difficulties. From Yanzi’s junior year of senior middle school to the end of the college entrance examination, he picked up and saw off her every night in all weathers. Then Yanzi went to an out-of-town university, and he always took good care of her family during her university years. They eventually married after she graduated from school. After that, he still showed her every consideration. When their baby was born, he was worried that it was hard for her to look after the baby, so he gave her a hand with the baby of his own accord in order that she could have more rest. At every party, Yanzi’s friends said to her enviously: “You are very lucky to have such a good husband.” At that moment, Yanzi thought her husband was like Fifth Prince (the fifth son of the Qianlong Emperor) in the television drama series “Princess Huanzhu (also known as My Fair Princess),” and she herself was like the princess, Little Swallow (Xiao Yanzi, who has a romantic relationship with Fifth Prince). And she considered that she was the happiest person in the world.
