Longing Comes Too Late

Song Xi spent her whole life chasing, following Qi Yun's footsteps and pursuing the love she longed for.

Meeting Qi Yun was the luckiest thing that ever happened to her. It was like finding the lost stars that guided her in the right direction when she was about to lose herself at sea.

“From now on, A Xi, I can hold your hand as we walk forward together.”

“Okay.”

But Song Xi never got to see their future together. From then on, the gentle spring rain, the summer breeze, the red autumn maples, and the winter snow all reminded her of Qi Yun.

Song Xi never forgot, and neither did Qi Yun. They secretly missed each other from afar, where neither could see the other.

“You're the direction that guides me forward!”

“You're my only faith... How could I ever give up the only light I have...”
