She in the Fog

Unrequited Love | Adventure and Mystery | A Desperate Pursuit of Love

1,

Lin Xinghe has a secret: she's had a crush on someone for seven years.

From high school to college, she only dared to follow that aloof figure from behind.

She didn't dare say it aloud. She only wrote his name on paper, over and over.

Pei Ji.

Pei Ji.

Pei Ji.

Until one day, during an outdoor survey, the campus belle Xia Wan was found gravely injured and unconscious in a cave.

All the evidence pointed to Lin Xinghe. Her advisor summoned her for a talk, criminal police came knocking, and even her secret crush was exposed. The whole internet accused her of acting out of jealousy.

She wanted to explain.

Pei Ji only said coldly, "Stay away from me from now on."

She stood frozen for a long while.

Several days later, Xia Wan woke up and revealed the truth.

Everyone realized they had wronged Lin Xinghe and posted apologies, but by then they discovered that Lin Xinghe had already gone into that cave and never come back out.

Outsiders all said she had died in there.

Only Pei Ji went into the cave alone and searched for three days, but found nothing.

Half a year later, during a secret mission, Pei Ji encountered her again.

Dressed in black gauze, she stood deep in Ailao Mountain, enveloped in mist.

In front of a moss-covered stone Buddha, she turned at the sound and looked at him.

There was no surprise or resentment in her eyes, only an undisturbed calm, as if she were looking at a stranger.

A companion asked, "Do you know her?"

She looked away, her voice hazy as mist:

"No. Let's go."

P.S.:

1. An adventure-romance story with some mysterious elements. If that's not your thing, please don't read.

2. The story's setting and locations are all fictional, with no real-world references. There are many original additions, so please don't overanalyze them.
