Yu Bai always wore a faint, distant expression. Even his shirt looked a shade whiter than everyone else's, and he rarely let anyone get close.
He was always like the moon: beautiful, but beyond reach.
Only Jin Ying had seen his other side.
A careless smile played across his face as he pressed a finger lightly against her lips. "Shh."
Jin Ying could hear only her own heartbeat.
That was the closest they ever came during all three years of high school.

Later, at a class reunion, someone suggested playing the King game.
The mood was lively when the new king ordered Number 8 to kiss Number 6.
Yu Bai expressionlessly revealed the eight of spades. People around them started whispering, "How could he possibly kiss someone else?"
Number 6, Jin Ying, sitting beside him, swallowed and started to lose her nerve. She reached for her glass. "I'll just..."
Yu Bai said softly, "I'll drink for her."
The crowd erupted into cheers.
That night, Jin Ying got drunk and stole a kiss from the moon.
She had just started to pull away when an arm clamped around her waist.
Yu Bai curled his lips into a faint smile and murmured against her lips:
"I'm a little possessive. When are you going to let me kiss you back?"
"This one doesn't count."
One-on-one, happy ending, each other's first love
Probably mutual pining. Title and blurb still undecided.
