Early Summer Waltz

On autumn nights, Ran Chuxia loved to stand by the river in West City, enjoying the breeze and admiring the bustling city across the water beneath the night sky.

The evening wind brought an endless coolness. It was the most relaxing time of her day.

One day, after wrapping up at the filming location, she went to the river again to enjoy the evening breeze.

Someone suddenly asked beside her, in a deep, pleasant voice, “Hello, could you take a photo for me?”

“Sure,” Ran Chuxia replied softly, meeting a pair of narrow eyes like the deep sea above the man’s mask.

At a single glance, she recognized him.

After taking the man’s photo, Ran Chuxia handed his phone back and blurted out, “It’s ready, Mr. Cheng. Take a look.”

Hearing how the girl addressed him, the man raised his brows slightly and studied her for a few moments.

Then he looked away, glanced at his picture on the phone, and quietly thanked Ran Chuxia.

In mid-December, Ran Chuxia won this year’s Golden Rose Award for Best Newcomer.

Backstage at the ceremony, she came face-to-face with a familiar figure.

“Congratulations, Miss Ran.” She heard him say gently in his slightly low voice. “Though I think the photo you took last time came out blurry. If we get the chance, could you take another one for me?”
