“Some people, once you fall in love with them, you can never let them go.”
When they first met:
Ye Hening looked at the colorful candy the other girl offered her and frowned. “Thanks, but I don’t eat candy.”
“Oh, I see.” A little while later, she handed Ye Hening a folded paper butterfly. “Then take this instead. My little butterfly can fly anywhere. I hope you can, too.”
“Thank you.”
When they parted:
Wen Yixuan: “Don’t you have anything you want to say to me?”
Ye Hening: “I hope everything goes smoothly for you.”
She still couldn’t bring herself to ask her to stay.
After they reunited:
Ye Hening: “I’m brave enough to tell you ‘I like you’ now.”
Wen Yixuan: “I’m not leaving. I’ll always be here.”
More than friends, but not quite lovers. That was the essence of their relationship. They understood themselves too little, and so they could only miss their chance. They were apart for three years because of it.
“You are the only love I wanna touch.”

1. There are stories within the story, so the narrative perspective shifts frequently. It isn’t told solely in the third person, and there are some flashbacks, though not many.
2. They switch roles in bed. Famous novelist × rising actress. No ship reversal, so enjoy without worry.
