“Gu Yan, I’m not ready to date!”
It took Gu Yan six whole years to finally work up the courage to confess to his childhood friend, Lin Wei.
Her response was a cold, “I just want to focus on studying. I don’t want to date.”
That rainy night, soaked through and utterly miserable, he fled her world. But he didn’t know that the moment he turned away, Lin Wei posted someone else’s roses to her social media, captioned: “Our summer starts now.”
It turned out that all her tenderness had been an illusion, and all her companionship had been a backup plan.
Six years of love had been nothing but a self-deluding joke.
Then a pair of warm hands held an umbrella over him.
Beneath the streetlight, a girl smiled softly. “I’m Xia Mo. Mo, as in ‘bubble.’”
She was a quiet salvation, arriving when he was at his most broken.
Later...
With red-rimmed eyes, Lin Wei asked him, “Didn’t you say you’d wait for me forever?”
Gu Yan clasped Xia Mo’s hand beside him and smiled faintly.
“Sorry. My summer has already begun with someone else.”
