I Heard You Still Love Her

In high school, Xiao Ruoyan fell in love with the school beauty, Yan Zhilan.

She kissed Yan Zhilan beneath the moonlight.

Young love burned fiercely, consuming everything.

At eighteen, just before the college entrance exams, they were accidentally outed. As their parents wept in anguish, the girls stood their ground and pleaded, but they were separated. With red eyes, they watched each other from afar and were forced to break up.

Ten years apart.

She heard that Yan had a boyfriend, was successful in business, and was preparing to get married.

She heard that Yan had become the piano teacher she'd always wanted to be, that her students had gone on to make her proud, and that she was living a happy life.

She also heard that at a class reunion, Yan had hugged a bottle of liquor and drunkenly sung "In a Hurry, Those Years."

She heard that Yan had nearly taken her own life...

At twenty-eight,

Xiao Ruoyan had shed her sharp edges, changing from a proud young girl into a quiet, successful director.

And Yan Zhilan was still as elegant and beautiful as ever. Alone, with a pair of hands and a piano, she played out all the sorrow in her heart.

They met again before a close friend's wedding.

When they saw each other, both their eyes turned red.

Only then did Xiao Ruoyan realize that all those rumors, all that talk of moving on, couldn't hold a candle to Yan's question: "Ayan, are you doing well?"

They cut through the brambles. They stood on their own and built a life for themselves.

All so they could meet once more.

P.S. The main story begins with their reunion. Turn on the lights, happy ending! Happy ending! Their high school romance is innocent. I don't support dating young, so please study hard and keep improving.

Next book: Restricted Zone

A side story. Qin Yi, hailed as the ethereal queen of the music scene for her heavenly voice, suddenly loses her voice at the height of her fame, in the prime of her life.

Like an angel stripped of her wings, she wastes away at home day after day, consumed by regret.

Her company and manager anxiously bring in one mental health expert after another to treat her, but each arrives full of confidence and leaves shaking their head.

Qin Yi shuts herself away in her own restricted zone, where no one can get close.

Six months later, she can no longer even stand and has to rely on a wheelchair.

A year later, as the public's interest in her fades, the entertainment industry gradually forgets her. Her company and manager give up on her too, casually assigning Mu Xiaoxiao, a university student working and studying part-time, to take care of her.

When Xiaoxiao first arrives, all she sees in Qin Yi's eyes is hostility and resistance.

Xiaoxiao sings Qin Yi's old songs for her, massages her atrophying muscles, and coaxes her into going out to look at the stars on the horizon.

She embraces her beneath the starry sky.

She kisses her beneath the moonlight.

She enters her restricted zone.

Later...

Qin Yi can speak again. Mu Xiaoxiao looks into her eyes and says with a smile, "I'm going to help you bathe. This time, you can make a sound."

Blushing, Qin Yi glares at Mu Xiaoxiao and snaps, "Get out. Don't come near me."

Later...

Qin Yi can stand again. Mu Xiaoxiao braces her hands on either side of her. "Do you still need me to carry you to bed?"

Qin Yi pushes Mu Xiaoxiao away. "Go. I don't need you anymore."

Later, Mu Xiaoxiao really is about to leave. Before going, she smiles at Qin Yi, her expression mischievous. "Since you don't need me anymore, I'll be on my way. My parents are in a hurry to set me up with someone anyway."

Though she knows Mu Xiaoxiao is only trying to provoke her, Qin Yi still can't stop her eyes from turning red. She grabs her by the waist with both hands. "Take one more step and I'll kill you. Fall in love with someone else and I'll kill her."
