[Reunion After a Breakup | Opens in a Modern City]
Blurb:
The first time Wen Xifeng met Zuo Ying, he was sitting on the ground correcting the name she'd gotten wrong for a puppy, and she mistook him for a beggar.
After transferring to this unfamiliar city, Wen Xifeng found herself attached to someone outside her family for the first time. The boy was so sincere and passionate that it was impossible not to keep looking at him.
After an accident separated them, Wen Xifeng went to college in another city and settled there. From then on, she and Zuo Ying never spoke again.
They met again at a class reunion. Wen Xifeng looked at the familiar stranger standing in the doorway and said nothing.
Zuo Ying walked toward her, looking worn from the journey.
Wen Xifeng stared for a long time, then finally said, "Hello."
During an evening study session in high school, Wen Xifeng stared at the prompt on the back of her Chinese exam paper: an essay about "wishes." For a long time, she couldn't write a word. Zuo Ying leaned over, smiling as he quietly asked, "Wen Xifeng, what do you wish for?"
Mountains and rivers, sunsets, world peace.
Wen Xifeng thought for a long time. It wasn't until she saw Zuo Ying's face that the beginnings of a wish finally took shape in her mind.
"Freedom," she said.
A few reading tips:
1. The story will include both the present and the past. There will be no flashbacks, only memories followed by a return to the present.
2. No pairing up side characters. The focus is on the female and male leads.
3. One-on-one romance. M before a volume title marks past events, and F marks the modern-day story.
Theme: Study hard and make progress every day
