When the Fog Clears, Await the Moon's Return

A video once circulated at Huasong University: a romance video made by the Love Mystery Society.

The male lead's identity was unknown, and his face was blurred, but his military shirt gave him a sharp, dashing air. The female lead was Meng Yitong, a beautiful senior who was sweet, warm, and gentle, and excelled in both her studies and conduct.

Three questions.

Q1: Are you in a relationship?

Man: Yes.

Woman: Yes.

Q2: Who pursued whom first?

Man: She did.

Woman: He did.

Q3: Is the other person your absolute ideal type?

Man: No.

Woman: No.

Then, with a bang, the girl kicked her chair aside and walked out with a cold expression.

The interviewer swallowed the last question. The man tried to hold back a laugh, his eyes bright with amusement as he asked, “So, what's the fourth question?”

The interviewer asked nervously, “Is the other person the one you love most?”

After a brief silence, the man smiled and asked nonchalantly, “First love, what do you think?”

But no one expected that the perfect romance that had once made everyone at Huasong University and the neighboring military academy green with envy would one day end, with Song Yizhou and Meng Yitong going their separate ways.

They say their breakup was ugly.

So five years later, when they ran into each other and learned that they were each other's arranged marriage partner, Meng Yitong's face and heart both turned cold as she stared at the man who wholeheartedly approved of the match.

She smiled without warmth. “What, Captain Song? Still haven't found true love after all this time?”

The man looked at her impassively, his gaze steely, and said, “True love?”

After a two-second pause, Meng Yitong gave him a provocative look.

Song Yizhou's smile was ambiguous. “Isn't it right here in front of me?”

At eighteen, Meng Yitong was a gifted darling of the heavens, reckless and guided by love as she feverishly chased after his heartbeat.

She had no idea that her love had already awakened a surging love in him.

You are the mist in my heart, and within that mist, the clearest, most romantic moonlight.

[Bonus Scene]

One day, after Meng Yitong stayed out playing until late at night, she unexpectedly found Song Yizhou waiting outside her friend's home, his face dark with anger.

She smiled, her eyes curving. “Long time no see.”

“Long time no see?” Song Yizhou's expression tightened. “At least you know when to call it a night.”

Just then, a new friend asked Meng Yitong, “Who is that?”

Meng Yitong's almost-smiling gaze swept past Song Yizhou. She raised an eyebrow, a rare gesture, and asked herself, “Who is this?”

Her voice was soft and low, hazy with the night breeze.

After a few seconds of silence, Meng Yitong narrowed her eyes. “Isn't he the guy I'm about to break up with?”

Song Yizhou: “...”
