Lost in the Crowd, But You’re Different

This is just writing practice. Don't read it.

[Sweet, obedient Lin Zhizi x rebellious, flamboyant cool guy Jiang Yu]

[Journalist x rising tech mogul]

[College campus + city life + reunion after years apart + rekindled love]

“I could have borne the darkness

if I had never seen the sun”

-

Before meeting Jiang Yu, Lin Zhizi had always lived by the book, obediently following every arrangement her parents made and seeing the world as far too simple.

It was only after Jiang Yu appeared that she got a glimpse of the other side of the world through him: an imperfect, awful world.

He was like a sudden storm of wind and rain. From then on, her calm, uneventful life was turned upside down, but she welcomed it wholeheartedly.

Then a video from a music festival was leaked, making their relationship public.

They fought back with everything they had, but still lost to reality.

They meet again at an intelligent technology conference. She is a rookie reporter just starting her career, and he is a much-watched tech mogul.

The crowds surge around me, but you are different.

As the years fly by and mountains and rivers stretch between us, you alone are my way home.
