I like Sheldon because he is smart. My friend said too crazy fall in love to him, because when I first met him, I don’t know where he comes from, I don’t know his job, I don’t know everything about him, but I just fell in love. I know his age after we date for around one year. Because he looks like a bad guy, my friend said I just can date with him, I can’t be serious. I remember a weekend, he get we get married, I said no. He said you must want to marry me, so we married. We lived in Nanjing, so he buy the tickets and booked someone to take marriage photo. So we take the train to Shanghai. I love him so much. No one insist me, and we married, and I didn’t tell anyone. That’s why we married 4 years, and last year we had a wedding. Two years ago, I let my parents know, when we married we had nothing, we still rent a house.
