   Main Text: Who understands?! I was just looking for a fast-paced, non-melodramatic, sweet but not cloying short story, and these two hit the spot! *The Evening Breeze Eight Years Apart* The age gap setting is super sweet! No artificial sweetness, no villainous female supporting character, just a restrained yet gentle tug-of-war between adults. Every chapter touches your heart. You can finish it in an hour, but the aftertaste is amazing. After reading, all you can say is: This is what adult romance should be like! *Flicking Sleeves in the Mortal World, No Return* I thought it was going to be a angst story, but I was thoroughly satisfied by the heroine's growth! No love-struck, no internal conflict, the heroine is clear-headed and cool, climbing out of the mire to live her own life. The ending is gentle and healing, without any melodramatic misunderstandings. After reading, you're left with only comfort and warmth. Both are short stories, fast-paced and not dragging, without any messy melodramatic plots. The sweetness and satisfaction are just right. Sisters looking for something to read, go for it!
