Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, there lived a beautiful girl named Axiang and a handsome young man named Liqiang. They had known each other since childhood and their love was deep. However, due to various reasons, they never publicly revealed their feelings and only met secretly. One dark and stormy night, they arranged to meet under an old, gnarled tree at the edge of the village. Axiang wore her most beautiful dress, and Liqiang had also dressed up carefully. When they met, they looked into each other's eyes and immediately felt a strong electric current coursing through their bodies. They embraced tightly and couldn't hold back their love any longer. At that moment, they felt that nothing in the world was more important than their love. It was as if dry wood had met a raging fire, instantly igniting a great fire that couldn't be stopped. Their hearts understood each other, and they decided to no longer hide their love and bravely pursue their happiness.
