Like a Withered Leaf Falling in Late Autumn

[Angst Novel] [Content Warning: Heroine Suffers] [Two Endings]

She is Luo Ling, a highly acclaimed dance teacher at Zhuxun Dance Academy.

He is Shen Yuni, a young and handsome tech tycoon.

They first met in their first year of high school, at Zhuxun High School.

He found the placard she needed to enter the school gala, but when she saw his fierce expression, she didn't dare ask for it back.

He walked over and said, “Classmate, why are you afraid to look at me?”

Her competitive spirit flared, and she looked up at him. “Who says I'm afraid?”

He laughed at that, and she finally saw that he wasn't fierce at all. He was quite handsome, actually.

He went on, “What makes you think this placard is yours?”

She pointed to the drawing underneath. “I drew that fox.”

He froze. Wasn't it a mouse?

At the gala, he saw that the girl who had shouted at him, red-faced and hoarse, was now shining onstage.

But after the gala, they never saw each other again.

Later, a week after the college entrance exams, he saw her again in Zhuxun City's cemetery, dressed all in black.

During the summer break of her sophomore year, she told him, “Your presence only brings me disaster.”

After that, he never appeared by her side again.

When they met again, five years had passed.

He addressed her calmly as Teacher Luo, and he had become the President Shen she called him.

“President Shen, thank you for your generous donation to the dance department. I'm here to assist you with your work.”

“How can Teacher Luo assist me?”

“I'll do as you say, President Shen.”

It turned out he had never forgotten her, and she had loved him deeply all along.

Later, he believed she had died in an accident.

But he didn't know that, in a hidden corner, she was quietly waiting for death all alone...
