A Letter from the Rose

[VB: Curled Fish Tail]

1.

Jing Yang is a celebrity kid, adored by everyone. He is a free spirit, wild and untamed. Wen Qiang, by contrast, is an insignificant face in the crowd, ordinary and unremarkable, like a rose blooming unnoticed in a corner.

A dating reality show ties together two people who seem to have nothing in common.

On camera, they act like a sweet couple bound by contract. Off camera, Jing Yang's languid indifference is etched into his bones. He seems passionate, but in truth, he feels nothing.

Later, an interaction between the two on the show trends online, and the comments explode.

[Are they actually together?]

[Ahhh, they're so sweet! I'm totally obsessed with them!]

That same day, Wen Qiang accidentally catches Jing Yang talking to someone on the phone.

Leaning against the doorway, head bowed as if looking at something, he wears a lazy smile as he says, "Why take it seriously? It's just for fun."

2.

Wen Qiang fell for Jing Yang at first sight.

But she never told anyone, keeping her unrequited love to herself.

The show gave her a brief chance to imagine more, but Jing Yang's words brought her back to reality. They were from completely different worlds, so she chose to leave.

Later, Jing Yang keeps appearing in her life, deliberately or otherwise, closing in on her with effortless confidence, like a hunter stalking his prey.

She doesn't want to fall into his trap and get hurt again.

At last, Wen Qiang asks harshly, "Jing Yang, what am I to you? Your prey again?"

His cocky demeanor remains, but his eyes hold a seriousness she's never seen before. "What prey? You're clearly my..."

"Indispensable."

Tang Wen will never forget the day she reunited with Xu Qingyin.

It was Wuda University's anniversary celebration, and Xu Qingyin had been invited as an honored alumnus.

He had striking features and an elegant figure, and every movement radiated nobility. The people around him fawned over him, jostling to get close.

Yet he remained aloof and taciturn.

Whatever someone said to him, he gave this way a fraction of a glance, then said coolly, "We aren't close."

Meeting his eyes, Tang Wen felt they were even colder than when they broke up.

But she refused to believe it. When the banquet ended, she gathered up her skirt and hurried ahead of everyone else to block his way. "We aren't close? We don't know each other? That's a lie. Xu Qingyin, I don't believe you could forget me."

2.

To prove her point, Tang Wen decides to pull Xu Qingyin, that lonely moon above the dust, back down to earth.

She starts visiting his hospital every day, bringing him things and contriving to run into him.

All of it is to remind Xu Qingyin how "close" they used to be.

"Tang Wen."

At last, Xu Qingyin raises his eyes to look at her directly, but his voice is so thin it holds not a trace of warmth. "That's enough."

He leaves and returns to Moscow, where he once lived for seven years.

Watching him walk away, Tang Wen finally realizes that Xu Qingyin truly has no heart.

3.

Later, Tang Wen travels to Moscow to perform. A sudden blizzard sends her crashing hard to the stage.

Before she is taken into the emergency room, she sees that familiar figure, and an expression beyond mere indifference on his face.

She also sees the words on his badge: Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Tang Wen is completely drained, but still manages to smile at him. "What a coincidence, Xu Qingyin. We meet again. Looks like you can't avoid me now."

Xu Qingyin only looks at her in silence.

Later, on several hazy nights, she hears someone murmuring beside her, again and again, with aching yet cold conviction: "...Tang Wen, you're only so bold because you know I love you."

-

Xu Qingyin has always believed they shouldn't see each other.

Because the moment they meet, the loneliness he has borne for seven years falls apart in an instant.

* She pursues him

* Reuniting after a breakup and a long separation

1.

You Lijia is just like her name suggests: the most outstanding student at Wuda University. She is beautiful, academically gifted, and comes from a good family.

Everyone thinks she will follow the rules and have a bright future.

Even she thinks so.

But then she meets Yi Jingxu, a rebellious, brooding boy.

The first deviation from her path comes when Yi Jingxu catches her cheating with a crib sheet.

He stands in the doorway, raises an eyebrow, and asks curiously, "Even good students cheat?"

Flustered, she hides the slip of paper behind her back. "It's none of your business."

Yi Jingxu just gives her a lazy smile. "You should try something more interesting."

Later, he takes her street racing and gaming, and they watch the sunrise at dawn. Little by little, You Lijia strays from the path she had always followed.

That day, as the sun rises, they stand together on the shore, where the waves roll in and out. He grips her hand tightly, his figure almost blending into the murky darkness. "Don't you think maybe we were made for each other?"

2.

Yi Jingxu is rebellious and unruly, with nothing in common with You Lijia, whose name appears on the school's honor roll.

But one day, he stumbles upon a secret that isn't much of a secret at all about this model student.

He watches her panic. Her rich, heady fragrance fills his nostrils.

Then he remembers hearing someone say that You Lijia is out of everyone's league.

He scoffed at the time, but privately wondered what it would feel like to make a good student go bad.

-

A rainy night.

Yi Jingxu pins You Lijia against the wall, holding her so tightly she can't move at all.

He is soaked through, with only the cigarette in his hand glowing scarlet.

He stares at her, lowers his head for a drag, then exhales the smoke into her mouth, inch by inch. His voice is teasing, yet sends a chill through her.

"Sis."

Thunder crashes. He kisses the reddened corner of her eye, irritated from coughing, then moves to her ear. His voice turns tender. "How about we fall together?"

- At first, he is covered in thorns, hoping to drag her into the mud.

- Later, he gives his life for her, becoming a mottled sperm whale.

Xu Moxi runs a flower shop in Kutan Lane downtown. Business is slow, but every day a man in a black suit comes to order flowers.

"Our boss asked me to order a bouquet of baby's breath. He says it's for his future wife."

The man's answer is always the same, though each time he orders a different kind of flower.

"All right."

Xu Moxi smiles as she wraps the flowers and carefully writes a message for him.

As time passes, Xu Moxi starts envying the "wife" he talks about.

Then one day, a long-under-construction estate in the city is finally completed and opened to the public.

Xu Moxi goes to see it too. The moment she steps inside, her eyes widen.

The entrance is lined with dried flowers, each carrying a blessing written in her own handwriting.

Among them is one unfamiliar, striking message:

"I'll leave a bouquet for you every day. By the time you come here, this place will have become a garden."

2.

Duan Jiangyu falls in love with someone.

He has just returned to the country that day, exhausted. Passing by a little-known flower shop, he is drawn to its beautiful design and pauses for a moment, an unusual thing for him to do.

Perhaps he stares for too long, because someone inside senses his gaze and pokes their head out through the wooden window. Beautiful eyes look straight at him, and a gentle voice asks, "Sir, would you like to buy flowers?"

"..."

Their eyes meet in that instant.

For the first time in decades, an indescribable feeling surges through Duan Jiangyu.

Suddenly, he wants to be good to someone. He wants to build her a garden with her at its center.

* Sweet, delicate beauty x deceptively gentle old fox

* The male lead is a big shot who falls for the female lead at first sight

* Not realistic fiction, more of a cozy story. I just want to write something fairytale-like and explore the language of flowers
