[An old work. Not very polished, so read with caution.]
.
Zeng Xi once explained her name as meaning "once happy."
Looking back, it was almost a prophecy.
Otherwise, why would everything that could have made her happy leave her: her family, her dreams, everything she cared about?
At least she still had Su Zhi Zhen.

Su Zhi Zhen once saw Zeng Xi leaning by the western window at night, raindrops falling and dampening her sleeve.
She wanted so badly to go over and embrace her.
Only after thinking back on it several times did she realize that was where her feelings began.

"May I flow like water, untroubled by longing.
Then turn to clouds and rain, and lean by your western window one night."

*Don't believe the blurb. This really is a sweet romance.
*Calm, slow-paced, and everyday, but with plenty of melodrama.
*A story about saving each other.
*Neither lead is perfect, but they're both good people.
*The leads are not each other's first. Readers who prefer otherwise, beware.
*The characters' values are their own. Don't attribute them to the author.
*Enjoy reading.
