Childhood friends to lovers / Love grows over time / Mutual pining
When I look at you, even for a single moment, I cannot speak.
Sappho, Fragment 31 (To the Beloved)
Lin Zhian has kept a secret in her heart for many years. To most people, it is nothing special.
But to her, it is special.
In her 28 years of life, there has only ever been Lu Minzhen.
Lu Minzhen also has a secret, one that makes her heart ache and rejoice whenever she thinks of it.
She planned to confess if Lin Zhian still didn't have a girlfriend by the time she turned 30.
But when she was 28, she saw Lin Zhian hug a woman for the first time.
And the woman wasn't anyone she knew.
She couldn't bear to watch Lin Zhian love someone else.
Even if the chances were tiny, she still planned to confess.
