Meager Wishes

"Are you still in love with him?" "Why wouldn't I be?"

Xin Chengfei always thought most girls were like her: they fell in love with a boy at the start of adolescence, then were willing to spend their entire youth following and protecting him. But in reality, she was an outcast, cut off from everyone else. Because she was stubborn, because she favored him, and because the man she loved was no longer Jing Yixin, who had wanted for nothing in Linxi Town.

"It can't be that the only reason I love you is because we depended on each other." Xin Chengfei, the girl with the awkward name, gave him all her youthful years, from ugly duckling to swan. He enjoyed her love at first sight, took her warmth and tenderness, and carved himself into her simple life. He loved Xin Wan. She was his Xin Wan. His love ran far deeper than she could see.

The past had become the past in the blink of an eye. Xin Chengfei was sure she still loved this man deeply, but why did life feel so powerless?

Perhaps I simply can't forget the young man I first met. But I know you can't wash away the dust gathered in this troubled world and return to my heart.

But I'll embrace you. I just need to wait until tomorrow, just tomorrow, okay? I promise I'll smile and say, "Good morning."

Please don't let the blurb scare you off! Though the writing style is very literary and nostalgic, there's plenty of sweetness too.

People in love are always so mushy~

Let's watch this scattering of stars together. Thank you for moving me.
