The Moon in Aquarius

1. Xu Zhiyi and Shen Xiaoyu crossed paths again at a blind date arranged by their families. She never imagined her date would actually be her former high school classmate, the boy she'd once been rumored to be dating. In truth, they'd never been together, nor even flirted. Both were top students, and sometimes they competed with each other in secret over their studies, but otherwise they had little to do with one another. The supposed “romance” fizzled out when Shen Xiaoyu suddenly transferred schools. Yet after their reunion, that faint hint of youthful affection burst into flame at the slightest spark, developing in a direction Xu Zhiyi could never have predicted.

2. Xu Zhiyi and her colleagues from Nanchuan Television were sent to a remote satellite launch center in the northwest to film interviews for a space exploration documentary over the course of a month. Every day, Xu Zhiyi observed and learned about their work, recording interviews. Shen Xiaoyu was one of the people she interviewed.

Later, one day after they had gotten together, Xu Zhiyi received a bouquet of roses at work. The card wished her a happy birthday and was signed Shen Xiaoyu. Just after finishing work, she received two more WeChat messages from him.

They had been in a long-distance relationship for months. After reading the messages, Xu Zhiyi quickly headed for the entrance, only to discover that it was snowing outside. Snowflakes swirled down from the sky, and she immediately spotted a man in the distance, covered in snow, walking toward her step by step.

Shen Xiaoyu stopped in front of her, dropped to one knee, and held out a ring box in both hands. Inside was a diamond ring engraved with their names.

“Zhizhi, I want to marry you. You are both my way home and my endless sea of stars.”
