He Is No Lonely Isle

[One lonely island will eventually find another, and together they will become a new continent that no longer drifts adrift.]

At seventeen, he became the son of a murderer, was ostracized by the whole school, and left home for her world.

At seventeen, she took a knife for him, missed the college entrance exam, and nearly lost her voice forever, while he vanished from her world completely.

He thought she hated him.

Twelve years later, they met again.

She was a composed, self-possessed obstetrician and gynecologist. He was a dazzling, successful architectural designer.

Convinced by their own resentment, they silently played the part of strangers.

But he picked up the hair tie she dropped and wore it for twelve years.

And she had never once taken off the watch he gave her.

She had hated him.

In the little cabin halfway up the mountain, she waited for him from morning to night for two months.

He never came.

Furious, she wrote in her diary:

"No one is unable to go on without someone else, but Gu Baiyu, I curse you. I curse your life to fall apart and end in utter failure without me!"

But twelve minutes later, she crossed out those words and wrote instead:

"Forget it, Gu Baiyu. Try hard to be happy. We both have to keep trying to make it into the sunlight."
