Cool and aloof bottom × secretly flirtatious top. The timeline moves quickly, and the story is short.
Wen Huai had two selves living inside her.
One was as cold as ice, wanting to run away from anyone who came near.
The other was as soft as water, secretly passing notes to the person she liked.
Their personalities took turns, splitting her seventeenth year in two.
Xie Zhixu saw everything, but said nothing.
Other people thought Wen Huai had a strange temper. Xie Zhixu didn’t.
She just swapped the cold milk for hot milk.
And showed up downstairs from Wen Huai’s home on the night she was at her breaking point.
Later, Wen Huai brought her two selves together and became whole.
The first thing she did when she returned to school was walk up to Xie Zhixu and say:
“I’m not the same as I used to be.”
From sixteen to twenty-seven, from the camphor trees at high school to the old apartment building at university.
For years, Xie Zhixu pulled someone up from the bottom of a winter well.
Years later, Wen Huai turned their story into a book.
Xie Zhixu chose the title.
She Is Gentler Than the Evening Breeze.
Theme: Learn to accept yourself as a whole, and learn to be loved.
