A Particularly Sweet Dream

This is a story about a flirtatious woman who tries to seduce a pious man, only to be seduced in return.

During the summer break of her freshman year, Kan Mingyue travels to the countryside in Haicheng in search of inspiration, which has run dry.

There she meets Sang Huaiyi, a pure-hearted young man who is dutiful to his parents and upright in every way.

One knows how to flirt but not how to love; the other knows how to love but not how to flirt.

He quotes scripture to her, answers her questions, and chases the sea breeze with her as they wait for sunset.

One drunken night, a reckless mistake gives her a kiss and costs him his heart. He asks her, "Can I come visit you at school after break?"

She laughs, utterly heartless: "It was just a kiss. Can't you take a joke?"

Later, Kan Mingyue's words come back to bite her. The pious man she knew turns into a bewitching, seductive fox of a man, with a whole arsenal of saucy lines.

She leans against him and looks at the moon. He lowers his head to breathe in the scent of roses. "You're going to be stuck with me for the rest of your life. Li Bai asked me to tell you: 'My spirit soars with grand ambitions; I would climb to the blue sky and seize the bright moon.'"

Sang Huaiyi: Meeting her felt like a beautiful dream, and in that dream she was especially sweet.

Three years like a day, a day like three hundred years
