Coming soon, though I don't know how many years from now: "The Full Moon as a Metaphor"
Also known as: "The Bottom of the Class"
Important note: [While they are teacher and student, the two leads have pure feelings for each other, with no romantic developments of any kind.]
[Gentle, aloof Chinese teacher x quirky, mischievous student]
At sixteen, Wen Leyu, dressed in a blue-and-white school uniform, stands under a pagoda tree and watches Jiang Yuebei leave the school gates, laughing and chatting with her boyfriend. Her heart sinks.
At twenty-six, Wen Leyu, wearing mature makeup, stands beneath the pagoda tree on campus that has kept her company for ten years. She takes the document bag from Jiang Yuebei, then links arms with her. "Come on, let's go home."
"Okay. Let's go home."
You were born before I was born, and by the time I was born, you were already old. You resent that I was born too late, while I resent that you were born too early.
