[P.S. Read the story before reading the blurb.]
I love you, as a friend.
Ming Lan never really understood what it meant to like someone.
But six years later, when she sees the long-overdue email, she finally understands: all the regrets have already been written, and nothing can change them.
The stars of Wanhua Valley grew upon the earth. They walked together through spring, autumn, winter, and snow, and spent two years side by side.
In the end, after her father suffered an accident and was left with disabled legs, she quit the game.
When she came back six years later, she discovered that many stories had not actually ended back then.
Like Jiang Zaizai. The love she felt for Ming Lan could be given to someone else, too.
She sees their wedding photos. In a snow-covered winter in the beautiful northern land, they hold hands and ride their horses, walking toward the loves of their lives inside a castle.
But she has no place in that story. She knows she likes someone, someone very unusual, someone her parents cannot understand. But she likes her because of who she is, not because of her gender.
Old Meimei's little secrets:
1. The appearance Jiang Zaizai sent to Ming Lan wasn't bought at the original price back then. It was added later.
2. Zaizai never got married either. She stays young forever, sleeping alongside the silent snow in Minnesota.
3. Jiang Zaizai loves Ming Lan with the love of a lover, with a deep and abiding love.
Give me a sugar flower, a flower made of sugar. It's very sweet.
