A Single Star

[This story will be VIP-exclusive starting Thursday, March 14. Thank you for enjoying it.]

At seventeen, Xu Ran was lonely, like the first star in the sky as night fell: brilliant and bright, yet somehow distant.

At seventeen, Chen Duzhou was full of passion. As the New Year's bells rang that year, he gave Xu Ran the most beautiful fireworks she had ever seen.

They were like the opposite poles of a magnet, completely different in personality, yet drawn to each other.

She remembered the wind on the rooftop that night, bitterly cold in the winter air. Chen Duzhou stood before her, watching the time on his phone and counting down aloud.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

Beneath the fireworks filling the sky, who was silently repeating the girl's name in their heart, wishing that she would be happy every day?

Xu Ran didn't know that what she thought was love at first sight was actually a boy who had quietly cherished her for years.

It turned out the stars had never been alone.
