"I Woke Up in My Gentle Neighbor’s Bed: He Wished Me a Happy Eighteenth Birthday"
Nan Xing and Qin Yang had been neighbors for more than ten years.
From apartment buildings to villas, their doors faced each other and their walls shared a border. She thought it was just a coincidence.
Until her eighteenth birthday, when she woke up in his bed. For the first time, he dropped his usual gentleness and wished her a happy adulthood.
Their four years of entanglement began with Nan Xing being terrified of Qin Yang. But as they spent time together, he gave her so many beautiful illusions.
She thought hatred would turn into love, for both of them.
Until six months into their marriage, he smiled and told her:
“Which ear of yours heard me say I loved you?”
Just when things couldn’t get any worse, the unhappiest year of Shen Nanxing’s marriage brought the loss of someone dear to her. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she boarded a plane overseas.
Five years later, she returned.
The moment they met, his hands trembling, he finally spoke. “Well? Nothing to say?”
She didn’t even look him in the eye. “What is there left to say between us?”
Once upon a time…
She asked, “Do you love me?”
He couldn’t answer.
But after she left, he thought of her every single day he was alive.
They spent ten years together, yet could never find an ending.
