Fallen Star

[New novel, Midsummer, is now available. Visit my author page to add it to your collection.]

Back in high school, Wen Wan once met a boy who shone like the stars.

She tried desperately to suppress her feelings, but she still fell for him, unable to stop herself.

She thought it was just a young girl's unrequited love, destined to go nowhere.

Years later, when they met again and the stars fell into her arms, she finally realized:

They had been moving toward each other all along.

That summer, Wen Wan was a sophomore, and Su Yanbei was a senior.

Just before the college entrance exams, she was standing by the back door of his classroom when she accidentally heard someone ask him, "Do you like Wen Wan?"

The wind was strong that day, but it could not shake his nonchalant reply: "No."

She heard the cicadas chirping outside the school building, and the sound of her own heart breaking.

Later, Wen Wan fled the city in utter humiliation.

After the college entrance exams, one casual remark from him changed her choice of university, and she returned to the city where he lived.

Later still, she thought he might like her, just a little, and worked up the courage to confess.

The moon was beautiful that night, but she had barely started speaking, and had yet to reveal the love she had kept hidden, when he hurriedly left.

The next time she heard news of him, people were talking about him going abroad.

Wen Wan silently gathered up her shattered heart and sealed their past away in the black box of her memories, never to speak of it again.

Years later, they met again. He was still a star beyond her reach, while she had hit rock bottom.

She had no intention of crossing paths with him again, but he steadily encroached on her territory until she was completely sheltered beneath his wings.

Many years later, Wen Wan happened to remember what had happened in high school and casually brought it up.

He stared at her for a long time, so long that she thought he would never answer.

Just as she was about to give up, she heard him say, "It was more than just a crush."

SC, first loves for both, 1v1, happy ending.

"I hid my love for you in my silence."

Reading note: A heartwarming, healing story about two people secretly loving each other and finding their way together.

"I thought the years would always be bleak, until I met you."

"How could anyone forget the star who pulled them out of the abyss and lit up their dark world?"

The Prey:

At the Academy of Fine Arts, everyone knows the aloof beauty who stands above the crowd. One after another, people try to win him over, only to fail every time.

Everyone sighs that "the campus heartthrob belongs to us all," until a rumor suddenly arrives from neighboring Jing University: The foreign languages department's campus belle has won the aloof beauty's heart!

The news sends shockwaves through the school.

The Academy of Fine Arts' campus belle declares, "Impossible! If I couldn't win him over, how could anyone else?"

A curious bystander goes to ask the person in question, assuming he will not respond.

To their surprise, the aloof beauty pauses his painting and gives a slight nod. "Yeah, she didn't win me over."

The onlookers are just about to scoff at the unreliable rumor-monger when the aloof beauty adds, "I was the one who pursued her."

Everyone is stunned!

The boldest thing Ruan Mian ever did was pretend to be prey to lure Qin Yao into her trap. Fortunately, it worked.

And then?

Then she dumped Qin Yao.

★Who is the hunter, who is the prey? Who can really say?

Midsummer:

[I want every summer from now on to have something to do with you.]

Just before the college entrance exams, Xia Ning secretly wrote an unsigned love letter and slipped it into Sheng Ye's desk.

As she was about to leave, she turned back, intending to retrieve it.

When Xia Ning reached the back door of the classroom, she saw the tall figure she remembered, head lowered as he read a sheet of pink paper.

Noticing her gaze, Sheng Ye lifted the letter and arched a brow.

"Did you write this?"

Xia Ning hurriedly tried to cover it up. "No."

Sheng Ye took a long stride around the desks and came to stand in front of her.

He slowly moved closer, letting his shadow inch forward until it completely engulfed her, trapping his prey in his arms.

His gaze was deep and possessive.

"I taught you to write, stroke by stroke."

When the class split in their sophomore year, Xia Ning, who excelled in the humanities, chose the sciences, while Sheng Ye, who had perfect scores in science, chose the humanities.

"Didn't you say physics was your favorite?"

"Can't I study history if I want to?"

The next day, the one who had said he wanted to study history showed up in the science class.

"Why are you..."

"I want to study physics!"

Theme: Live life with optimism.
