Silent Echoes

[The print edition of the same name is now available]

When Shen Siyan first met Lian Yi, he thought she was gentle and romantic, everything he'd ever imagined.

Only after they got together did he discover that she was proud, stubborn, and cold-hearted.

The first time, she breathed softly and said, "It was just a game. Don't take it seriously."

He offered her his whole heart and lost completely.

When they met again, he was a rising star in his industry, a lofty figure everyone admired like a flawless white jade disk.

At the banquet, surrounded by elegant clothes and jeweled guests, he stood in a perfectly tailored suit, his expression cool and distant. People respectfully called him "President Shen."

Lian Yi could only think of the young man from years ago, bright-eyed in a new suit, asking her, "Do I look good?"

Her friend teased her, "He's not yours anymore. He's flown up to the sky to become someone else's moon."

Lian Yi swirled her wine and smiled faintly. "I never pluck the moon."

I want him to come to me.

The ascetic, aloof President Yan in public would hold her in his arms in private, wagging his tail and begging for affection.

Lian Yi gently stroked his cheek and asked, "Shen Siyan, you know what kind of person I am. Aren't you afraid?"

"I am," he said, burying his face against her neck, all wounded and pitiful. "So this time, can we get the certificate before I start the job?"

Years ago, when asked about her dream, Lian Yi said she most wanted to go skydiving.

Years later, ten thousand meters above the ground,

he led her out of the plane, and they parachuted down onto the plains.

The mountains were still, their silence echoing.

The lake reflected the moon, and the moon made an emergency landing in his heart.

I won't pluck the moon. I want him to come to me.

You are my moon.
