Before the Night Fades

A few tips before you read: An early farming-life story. The original vision was a moonlight-white favorite, so read with caution. Blurb If fate is the earth, then we spend our whole lives drawing a circle upon it. Wherever we begin, that is where we will ultimately reach our end. Time never gives anyone a second chance. The people we missed, the plays that ended, are gone for good. Where do people like us, so stubborn, headstrong, emotional, and reckless, end up at last? Liang Shenshen once asked me: Are we really friends? I told her: If one day we can fight and rage all we want, but still can't drive each other away or pull apart, then we'll be friends forever. Later, I wanted to use those words to describe love: If all our partings and sighs, all our joys and sorrows, all our reunions and separations, cannot tear us apart, then I am willing to believe in fate for your sake. But before my love story could even begin, you had already left the stage of my life. If fate brings us together without a future, we will only hurt each other. If we have a future but no fate, we will only let each other down. Did you already foresee what was coming back then? As the lights dimmed, I thought the lamps were shining bright, never imagining the loneliness and sorrow that lay beneath. P.S. Also known as The Growth Story of a Tsundere Girl and The Little School Days Farming Story. P.P.S. Dedicated to everyone who has ever loved me and everyone I have loved. Author's note: Chapters one, two, and three introduce the characters and have a lot of monologues. The dialogue and interactions pick up and get exciting later on. Things get a little heartwarming after chapter five, but I still have to say that the early chapters are important too. They're all foreshadowing, foreshadowing, foreshadowing... If you don't pay attention to the details, you'll miss a lot... Message after finishing: The ending and epilogue are inseparable and closely connected. Theme:
