Late in the Night, I Think of an Old Friend

The Long-Awaited Return of an Old Friend is coming soon. Add it to your favorites if you're interested.

Blurb: (Written at readers' request, this is a continuation of Thinking of an Old Friend Late in Life. It gives the heroine a happy ending and fills the regret I've carried in my heart.)

In the ten years since Lu Guo went missing, Cheng Shuang had buried herself in work. At last, she bought the apartment she had once shared with Lu Guo. She decorated it in Lu Guo's favorite style, as if he had never left.

She met Lu Guo at a party after the college entrance exams. She fell in love at first sight with him in his military uniform.

They spent four years in a long-distance relationship, overcoming one difficulty after another. They went from school uniforms to wedding dresses, and were on the verge of their happy ending when, just before Cheng Shuang's wedding dress fitting, Lu Guo had an accident. No one knew whether he was alive or dead.

For ten years, she didn't dare go home or even mention Lu Guo's name. She turned down countless admirers and even told people she was a widow.

Then one day, an unfamiliar number called to ask if she had a place to rent. She froze on the spot. She had been waiting ten years to hear that voice.

At that moment, she seemed to see the hero she had fallen in love with as a teenager, walking toward her against the light...

#My missing boyfriend became my tenant ten years later

#Fate is like a bridge. Those on it will meet again one day

#I married the soldier I love most

#Thinking of an old friend late in life, I finally await their return

Blurb:

In everyone else's eyes, you are a dashing young man, resplendent in your military uniform.

In my eyes, you are just an ordinary boy, wounded all over beneath that uniform.

You are an inspiration and a source of strength to others, but to me, you are the dream I regret losing most.

Now the land is at peace, I am well, and you still live in my heart.

I am fortunate beyond words to have shared the springtime of my life with you.

Now that the years have passed, I want to reclaim the old days and write, with my fingertips, of every meal we shared.

I open my palms to feel the sunlight. Thank you for giving me this love that lingers on and on!
