“Senior Bian Ling and Senior Jiang Feiran look so perfect together. They’re practically made for each other!”
“Yeah! I heard they were desk mates in elementary school, too.”
In front of the school’s wall of honor, younger students chatter about the school’s most famous pair. Mention Bian Ling, and Jiang Feiran’s name follows; mention Jiang Feiran, and Bian Ling’s does too.
That summer, when they moved from their second year of high school to their third, news that Bian Ling and Jiang Feiran had fallen out spread like a syncopated note in a piece of music, disrupting the familiar rhythm. It swept through the entire school in an instant, causing a sensation. Countless versions of why they had parted ways circulated around campus, but no one knew the real reason behind their bitter break.
After years of twists and turns...
“Bianbian, I don’t want us to keep our distance.”
“Jiang Feiran, it’s not as if I dislike you.”
From the time they were very young, Bian Ling and Jiang Feiran had already flowed silently into each other’s worlds like the tide, becoming indispensable parts of each other’s lives. Even as the years passed, their feelings remained like the damp imprint left behind by the receding tide, etched deep into their lives and impossible to erase.
