A Letter to the Moon

"Like a summer rainy season, sunlight and the joy of a racing heart rush toward you, turning that dazzling dream into reality."

The second time Ye Yunshu met Tang Yichen, it was in the middle of a dramatic scene: she saw someone confessing to him.

Without a moment's hesitation, the boy turned her down. "Study hard and keep making progress."

He turned around, apparently not expecting someone to be behind him. But after pausing for a moment, he simply ignored her and walked away.

Ye Yunshu: "…"

At their graduation party, someone was preparing to confess to Tang Yichen. Amid the teasing and cheers, he went outside with the girl.

Ye Yunshu lowered her eyes, picked up the microphone, and sang about feelings no one else could understand. The lyrics were full of words she hadn't had the courage to say.

But she didn't know that the boy was leaning against the door outside, listening to the whole song.

In her junior year of college, the love letter Ye Yunshu had written after graduating from high school somehow ended up in Tang Yichen's hands. At last, her six-year unrequited love saw the light of day.

At the time, Ye Yunshu was far away in the northwest, in a place with no signal and hardly anyone around.

When she turned around, the whole world disappeared. All she could see was the boy from her youth, walking toward her step by step.

"So it was me you liked."

/I want to write a letter to the moon, to commemorate a heart that will never stop beating for you./

Wen Qingyue has a secret no one knows: she likes her stepbrother Si Yizhou, who isn't related to her by blood, but she also knows this is a hopeless crush.

Meeting Lu Chiyu was an accident. He's Si Yizhou's friend.

At their first meeting, he sat in the middle of a booth, his face obscured by dim lighting, his long fingers toying with a lighter.

Wen Qingyue felt completely out of place. She endured the choking smell of smoke, hoping Si Yizhou would hurry back from taking a call outside.

Just as she was at a loss, a low, languid voice spoke, as if casually saying, "Put that cigarette out."

The person smoking beside her glanced at Wen Qingyue and apologized with an ingratiating smile.

On the day she decided to give up on Si Yizhou, Wen Qingyue went to the snowy mountains alone to clear her head.

After getting off the plane, she saw Si Yizhou's message. He said he was worried about her safety and had arranged for someone to look after her.

Wen Qingyue stood at the arrivals gate. The person who was supposed to meet her wasn't there, but in the crowd she immediately spotted a familiar, tall, straight-backed figure.

Before she could even wonder why Lu Chiyu was there, he walked toward her under her astonished gaze and took her suitcase.

"Why are you here?"

Later, outside was a world of ice and snow, while inside, the alcohol made her cheeks burn.

A reckless night.

Their friends were shocked to hear that Lu Chiyu would be bringing his girlfriend. Si Yizhou hadn't cared at first, but when he saw whose hand Lu Chiyu was holding, his wineglass slipped and shattered across the floor.

That night, outside Wen Qingyue's apartment, Si Yizhou apologized again and again, begging her to forgive him, but got no response.

Inside, Wen Qingyue was pinned against the wall, unable to speak. In a moment between breaths, Lu Chiyu bit her earlobe and murmured hoarsely, "Tell him to get lost."
