Worlds Apart

For countless nights over the past ten years, with an ocean between them, Jiang Tong would toss and turn in the dark, remembering the first time he met the young man. On a small island in the South Seas, in a hexagonal study by the shore, Xiao Fengtai stood by the window and looked at him. His features were refined, his eyes bright, like a boy in a Rembrandt painting. The beautiful young man had a pretty face and an overbearing, arrogant manner. He handed Jiang Tong a check and told him to disappear from his sight forever, along with the Chinese lesson plans he had so carefully prepared.

I should have taken the check back then, Jiang Tong murmured in the dark. I should have refused with a smile, taken the check, and walked out of that hexagonal study without looking back. I should have let Xiao Fengtai laugh at his mercenary nature and mock his fawning, dismissing him as just one of countless insignificant people trying to profit from him, then forgotten him completely.

That was the kind of person he had been all along.

One-sentence synopsis: A youth romance between a third-generation rich heir and a tutor working his way through school (strikethrough), a second-chance romance after a breakup. The ending will definitely be happy!
