Wen Qingyun had been in love with Xie Chenyu for a long time.
She convinced herself that friendship lasted longer than love, and carefully hid her girlish crush where no one could find it.
But a heart in love is hard to keep in check.
Though she knew there could be no happy ending, she still lost her head and began a reckless affair with Xie Chenyu.
When they broke up, Wen Qingyun ended things decisively with the words, "I never loved you."
That night, the rain fell hard, soaking half of Xie Chenyu.
Most of the young man's face was lost in the gloom. Countless cigarette butts lay by his feet.
As the rain extinguished the glowing ember between his fingers, he spoke, his voice cold and especially hoarse: "Don't let me see you again."
And just as he said, they never saw each other again.
They cut ties completely.
Then, years later, they reunited on the same film set, playing exes who rekindle their love.
That day, rain and wind raged outside, and crowds surged nearby.
In a dim hallway, Xie Chenyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, squeezing so hard it hurt.
"It can't be over."
The once spirited, adored child of heaven lowered his head, his voice painfully hoarse.
"Wen Qingyun."
He called her by her real name, not the name in her script. That line wasn't in the script either.
But his eyes were rimmed red.
"Love me one more time."
-Through countless sleepless nights, from dreams to wakefulness, day after day and night after night, I still think of you.
Reading notes:
1. A lovesick mess gong x a clearheaded, resilient shou; top-tier star singer x a popular actress
2. Both are virgins / secret crush / reunion after years apart / rekindled romance / mainly contemporary urban setting, with flashbacks
3. No real-life inspirations. Many fictional details. Please don't associate this with anyone in the real entertainment industry.
4. The line about convincing herself comes from the lyrics of "Secret Love Is One Person's Business"
