A boy named Li Xin, quietly protecting her from behind, with the nerve to dream but not the guts to act.
A girl who knew every trick for flirting with boys, but was a girl herself.
Also known as: Mr. Heartless, My Car-Sick Girl
Chen Yushan only realized later
That the one who loved most fiercely was the quickest to turn away without looking back.
Just like the word "promise": it only means something while you're in love.
And later...
Mr. Heartless became a boy with a heart.
The girl with a heart became a heartless woman.
[Author's Note]:
After much thought, I decided to write this book. I don't know whether it belongs in the women's or men's category.
I don't even know what I should write about: the future me, or the girl from my past.
Since I've come this far, I should leave something behind, proof that she once came into this world, and that I once loved her.
So I'll dedicate this book to the girl who will forever be nineteen.
I never believed in ghosts or gods, but she made me willing to believe that reincarnation might exist.
Maybe then I could see her again.
I just don't know whether it would be beneath a pavilion as the sun rises, or in a quiet cafe on a street corner.
Maybe it would be on an ordinary afternoon after work. I'd have my briefcase on my back and drag my tired body toward home beneath the setting sun.
And just then, a little girl with a schoolbag would skip past me.
