Together Again

[Childhood Friends | Second Chance Romance | Bittersweet Breakup]

-

The day Qi Zhan's new movie premiered, Su Li went to see it alone. Afterward, she broke up with him.

For four years, she'd been his secret girlfriend, the top-tier star's hidden lover, in a one-sided relationship where he cared far more about work than he ever did about her.

Su Li thought it was time to part ways.

Qi Zhan didn't even try to stop her.

He thought she was just throwing a tantrum and would be fine in a few days. He never imagined that Su Li would leave and never look back.

The first time they met after the breakup, he asked through gritted teeth, "Su Li, how have I ever treated you badly?"

The cold had turned Su Li's nose red. She said, "I'm the one who was wrong."

Qi Zhan thought then that if Su Li came back begging him, he wouldn't forgive her so easily.

But in the end, it wasn't Su Li who begged. It was him.

Later, Qi Zhan begged Su Li to forgive him, again and again, until his voice was hoarse.

Su Li kept her head down and walked on. Even so, in the end she spoke gently: "Please don't call out to me. I'm afraid you'll be sad."

She remembered all too well the pain of not being loved.

When he heard Su Li was about to get married, Qi Zhan met her. His face was more haggard than she'd ever seen it. In all these years, she'd never seen him look so miserable.

But Su Li smiled, as gentle as ever, though her voice was cold.

She said, "What a shame. It should have been yours."

Su Pi Pao Fu's dessert-serving tips:

[This blurb was written two years ago, so it's a little old-fashioned. I'm too lazy to revise it, but the writing style probably isn't that dated (?)]

[Ordinary woman and famous star / childhood friends / Title taken from the Japanese song "With You Again"]

[Not your typical groveling redemption story, but a breakup-and-reconciliation romance!]
