Gu Yi's childhood friend and neighbor, Jiang Siyu, has had a longtime crush on her white moonlight.
As it happens, Gu Yi has also had a longtime crush on her own white moonlight: Jiang Siyu.
This sounds like a story that won't have a happy ending.
Especially since Gu Yi watches Jiang Siyu sneak off to the basketball court every day to see her white moonlight, stay up late helping her with homework, and watch the carefully prepared love letter get trampled under her crush's feet.
After high school, Jiang Siyu followed her white moonlight to a university in another province.
Gu Yi knew she couldn't be as devoted as Jiang Siyu, so she went abroad as an exchange student, shut her heart away, and swore off love.
Later, she returned home for a high school reunion and saw Jiang Siyu drinking alone, crying her eyes out and full of regret.
Jiang Siyu's eyes were red, a few tears trembling on her lashes. Her face flushed as she screamed at the top of her lungs,
"She lied to me, sob!"
"She wasn't the one who saved me, sob!"
Only then did Gu Yi remember that when Jiang Siyu accidentally fell into the pond and thrashed around, the person who saved her might have been Gu Yi herself.
Gu Yi sighed, took out a tissue, and gently wiped Jiang Siyu's tears, neither too softly nor too firmly.
"Jiang Siyu, how can you be so stupid?"
"You liked her for all these years just because you mistakenly thought she saved you?"
Jiang Siyu froze, held her breath, and accidentally hiccupped. She couldn't get a word out.
Gu Yi left the tissue with her and spoke softly without looking back.
"Then your love was far too easy to win."
Later, somehow, Gu Yi became Jiang Siyu's new white moonlight.
When Gu Yi went out to eat with friends, Jiang Siyu hid at the next table in sunglasses, sneaking glances at her.
When Gu Yi was introduced to a potential date, Jiang Siyu sprinted over and dragged her away.
When Gu Yi held an art exhibition, Jiang Siyu promoted it across every social media platform.
At last, unable to face Jiang Siyu, who kept trampling all over her heart, Gu Yi decided to go abroad and lie low. But the day before her departure, she found Jiang Siyu on her bed again, having appeared out of nowhere.
At the end of her rope, Gu Yi shouted, "Jiang Siyu! What on earth are you trying to do?!"
Jiang Siyu looked utterly aggrieved and poked her head out. "Gu Yi~~ I didn't fall for you just because I found out you were the one who saved me. Can you please not leave~~"
Gu Yi was silent for a long moment, then gritted her teeth. "You'd better mean that!"
Only those who love deeply are truly suited for each other.
Only those who are lovable deserve to be loved.
