Seven years after high school graduation, the class monitor organized a get-together for the former classmates who still lived in town.

Fan Li went with Lin Yuanyi. It was her first high school reunion since graduation.

But as soon as she entered the private room, she saw Li Chuan, whom she hadn't seen in ages. While she stood there in a daze, someone grabbed her and pulled her to the middle of the room.

As the mood picked up, everyone seemed to return to those reckless days of youth. They teased, "Chuan'er is planning to stay here, Little Li. You must be happy!"

The moment the words were out, half the room burst into laughter while the other half fell silent.

Lin Yuanyi looked down at his suddenly empty hand. He tried to curl it into a fist, but there was nothing in it.

If you love someone, remember to tell her you love her today, and every day.

Because tomorrow makes no promises to anyone.

No one will remember you for thoughts you keep to yourself.

Speak up, show it, and let the other person know how much she means to you.

The title was inspired by Marquez's "Farewell Letter."

Because tomorrow makes no promises to anyone.

No one will remember you for thoughts you keep to yourself.

Marquez, "Farewell Letter"

P.S. This story is a slow burn, but recording it has given it meaning and warmth. Thank you for reading.

Blurb for Starstruck Girl Is Kinda Sweet:

Ning Xing was a child actor who rose to fame at a young age, a rare acting prodigy in the entertainment industry. Just when everyone thought his career would be smooth sailing, he faded into obscurity without a word. No one knew why.

After hitting rock bottom, Ning Xing had no more work or income, and even his longtime manager was planning to abandon him. Before leaving, the manager made one final arrangement for him: go back to school.

Ye Zhui, who always claimed she never chased celebrities, had recently started to suspect that her new deskmate looked like the star she liked.

After checking again and again, she realized her deskmate really seemed to hate the entertainment industry and Ning Xing. Whenever he ranted about them, it was like a wild dog off its leash.

Who hates themselves, anyway? She must be overthinking it.

Then one day, they both got found out.

Ye Zhui: Help, help, help! I just found out my deskmate is the celebrity I like, but I've been badmouthing him to his face every day. What do I do now? Please answer quickly!

Ning Xing: ???? My deskmate, who said she never chased celebrities, is my number one fan???

Blurb 2:

In Chinese class, the teacher assigned the students an essay about feelings. The whole class said it would be easy, but Ning Xing turned in a blank page.

The Chinese teacher was furious, but Ning Xing merely said, "I don't need that sort of thing."

No one knew that Ning Xing always wore a leather wristband. Hidden beneath it was proof that he didn't love this world.

Years later, the Chinese teacher, now retired, suddenly received an essay with Ning Xing's name on it.

"Teacher, this is my essay. Please grade it."

Blurb for Pay Me Back:

The best way to get back at an ex is to find a new boyfriend who's better than him in every way!

But Zhang Yang had terrible luck. When she ran into her ex-boyfriend Chen Zhao and his new girlfriend, not only was she single, she hadn't even washed her hair!

As the awful couple mercilessly mocked her, Zhang Yang spotted someone familiar out of the corner of her eye.

The important thing was, this guy could absolutely crush Chen Zhao in every way imaginable.

Blinded by her vanity, Zhang Yang grabbed the man walking toward her and dragged him in front of Chen Zhao. She lifted her chin, puffed out her chest, and said confidently, "This is my current boyfriend! You're nothing next to him! I must have been out of my mind to give up a fully loaded Rolls-Royce for a domestic Hyundai like you."

But Zhang Yang forgot one thing:

Big talk brings bad luck.

Then her "current boyfriend" spoke in a familiar, cold, merciless voice: "When are you going to pay back the money you owe me?"

Zhang Yang: ...

Oh no. I wrecked his car on impulse, but I don't have the money to pay for the damage.

P.S. The female lead may seem weak, but she's actually tough, and she'll keep growing. Women of the new era never give up!
