The Stars Don't Lose Sleep

[Complete. The next book, Exclusive Love Letter, is now available.]

When Gu Xing was sixteen, she was brought back from her adoptive family in the United States. After a long, winding journey, she returned to her homeland and met a man.

At the welcome banquet, people came and went amid clinking glasses and lively conversation. Gu Xing sat quietly by herself in a corner, head lowered. When she looked up, she happened to catch sight of a man.

He stood at the center of the banquet, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. Tall and slender, with a refined and striking air, he was smiling as he chatted with the elders.

Unlike the others, he wore an inconspicuous hearing aid in his right ear.

Nearby, elegant women spoke in hushed voices: "The Lu family's second son, Lu Yuwen, a postgraduate from the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg. He only recently returned to the country to take over for his father, who is hospitalized with an illness."

A friend beside him put an arm around Lu Yuwen's shoulder and whispered something in his ear. The man raised his eyes and looked toward her.

A moment later, Lu Yuwen set down his glass and walked over to her in the corner. He leaned down slightly and held out a hand. His bright, flirtatious eyes held a faint smile, and his voice was warm and enticing.

"Gu Xing? Hello."

From then on, he was all Gu Xing could see.

When you have a crush on someone, you are always filled with reckless courage. Even though she knew he saw her only as a friend's child, she still lost herself in his tenderness.

She thought she could melt the moon high above her, but in the end, she understood that the moon would always be the moon. It simply did not belong to her.

She had been deluding herself.

So Gu Xing forced herself to sever her attachment and leave for another country. Even when she nearly ended up on the streets, surviving on cold, hard bread, she gritted her teeth and refused to give in.

Later, Gu Xing's university arranged a summer exchange with a well-known university in China. At a dinner with her advisor, she unexpectedly met him again.

He was now a high-powered project investor, his features cool and distant. That irresistible face of his was still devastatingly handsome.

Gu Xing kept a composed expression.

After dinner, slightly tipsy, Gu Xing got up to leave with her fellow students. Just after she came out of the restroom, she saw the man waiting dejectedly in the hallway.

She tried to leave, but he reached out to stop her. The outer corners of his dark eyes tilted upward, slightly red. He smiled. "Six years. You finally decided to come back?"

The girl who had once been as bright and bold as a little sun had, over the years, become engraved in his bones, pulled out with thorns and blood.
