Perhaps every man has a sacred place in his heart, and Xiaoying is Xiaozhuang's sacred place.
Later, Xiao Zhuang was admitted to a top-tier high school, while Xiao Ying went to a regular high school.
Because Xiaoying's school was on the other side of the city, her parents moved to the area near her high school for easier access to education.
The two were very, very far apart. From then on, whenever Xiao Zhuang missed Xiao Ying on weekends, he would run from one side of the city to the other, just to see his angel... Xiao Ying.
Li Ling was captivated by the image of that angelic girl in his mind.

P.S.: The relationship between Li Ling and Zhuang Yan will be explained later in the novel; they are the same person. Please read on patiently.
Chapter 18 Little Shadow, Little Shadow (Seeking Recommendation Votes)
The school year is long, especially for a student like Li Ling who has always been a poor student.
Xiao Zhuang only loves literature, and his grades in science subjects such as mathematics are terrible.
Fortunately, thanks to Xiao Zhuang's foundation, Li Ling was able to keep up with the pace.
Of course, this only refers to humanities subjects; as for science subjects... well, it's a long story.
With the college entrance examination approaching, the senior high school students are under tremendous academic pressure. Teachers conduct mock exams every two days, which makes Li Ling, who hasn't experienced an exam in many years, feel like she's in heaven or hell.
But soon, Li Ling's science grades caught up.
He discovered that Xiao Zhuang had an excellent memory; he could memorize things from books after reading them only a few times.
Mathematical, physical, and chemical formulas can be quickly memorized, and with a little brainpower, science grades improve rapidly.
After several mock exams, the math teachers were quite surprised. They even had a talk with Li Ling and examined him in person. After proving that he hadn't cheated, they all exclaimed that the child had finally figured things out.
The teacher's reaction was normal, because Xiao Zhuang's science scores were usually in the 30s or 40s, while his humanities scores were generally among the best in the whole school.
Xiao Zhuang's articles are often considered model articles at school and are read aloud on the school radio at noon.
Li Ling still remembers a scene from the TV series "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" where Xiao Zhuang, after becoming a special forces soldier, was on a mission to infiltrate the Ma family drug trafficking group.
Xiao Zhuang simply scanned the information about the Ma family members a few times and memorized it completely.
When the two police officers who provided the information became suspicious, Xiao Zhuang accurately recited the contents of several hundred words from several pages of documents without missing a single word.
This incident demonstrates Xiao Zhuang's exceptional memory.
When Li Ling transmigrated into Xiao Zhuang's body, he also gained all of Xiao Zhuang's abilities, only then realizing that Xiao Zhuang truly possessed extraordinary memory.
The reason why Xiao Zhuang's science grades are so poor is entirely due to his hobbies and dreams.
Xiao Zhuang's dream is to become a writer and an artist; he has absolutely no interest in science formulas.
Therefore, he was completely perfunctory in his science studies, which is why his grades were so poor.
If he truly had no talent for science, he wouldn't have been admitted to this top-tier high school in the city.
It's important to know that the high school entrance exam only tests Chinese and math scores.
But Li Ling is different now; Li Ling's personality is such that if he's going to do something, he'll do it to the best of his ability.
Since you have to take math and other science classes every day, why not study hard?
As for why Li Ling doesn't like studying in the real world, it's because he lacks talent.
He tried hard but didn't achieve any results; his talent lies in sports.
You have to admit that many things in this world require talent, and many children are not suited for school, which is something that can't be helped.
He only needs to know the most basic knowledge. Let him do what he is good at, and he will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Instead of working hard on things you're not good at, which will only lead to wasted effort.
Now that he has such a high talent for memory, Li Ling has the opportunity to learn more things, and he is learning with great enthusiasm.
Even though her science scores improved, Li Ling didn't plan to achieve a very high score in the college entrance examination.
Xiao Zhuang's dream is to become an artist. His original plan was to be admitted to the directing department of the drama academy. Li Ling has no intention of changing anything now, and he is also very passionate about art.
Next week is the time for the drama school's professional exams.
...
Saturday, finally, is a day off.
Li Ling got up early to wash up. Today, Zhuang's parents were also resting. Zhuang's father had already gotten up and was exercising in the yard, while Zhuang's mother was still sleeping.
In Mrs. Zhuang's words, she wants to get plenty of beauty sleep on her days off and asks her husband and son not to disturb her.
Because Mrs. Zhuang hadn't gotten up yet, no one was cooking, so Mr. Zhuang would buy breakfast on weekends.
By this time, Zhuang's father had already eaten. He left a portion for Li Ling on the table, and Zhuang's mother's portion was kept warm in a pot until she got up to eat.
Li Ling walked to the table and looked at the breakfast left for her. "Tofu pudding and soup dumplings, I like them."
He sat down, picked up a spoon and scooped a little bit of chili oil onto the tender white tofu pudding. The red chili oil paired with the tender white tofu pudding immediately whetted Li Ling's appetite.
Li Ling gently made a few horizontal and vertical cuts on the tofu pudding with an iron spoon, letting the chili oil infuse into it. Then, she scooped up a spoonful of tofu pudding and ate it, exclaiming, "So delicious!"
