Lingering Warmth

[A new story, The Kiss Mark on My Collarbone, has just launched next door. You're welcome to check it out.] There is always someone who has appeared in your life like this, laughing and fooling around with you, loving you with all their heart, loving you so deeply it leaves an indelible mark. But like fireworks that flare for an instant, one day, without warning, they suddenly disappear. . In high school, Jiang Yi wanted to help her best friend pursue her dream guy. Summoning all the courage she had saved up over seventeen years, she cornered him outside the school gate. The sun was scorching that day. Its rays streamed through the leaves overhead, making her dizzy and unable to tell north from south. But the dream guy was cool and distant. His voice was clear and low. "Classmate, did you need something?" That was the first time she spoke to Gu Muyan. His tousled, alluring bangs rested against his forehead. He was cool and refined, with an air of nobility. One glance was all it took to take her breath away. . Years later, Jiang Yi saw Gu Muyan again at a company meeting. He wore a pitch-black suit, his figure tall and straight, his demeanor aloof and reserved. A colleague nudged her. "Jiang Yi, are you stunned? This is our new general manager, Mr. Gu." She gazed into his eyes as if looking into a galaxy, vast and tender, then held out her hand. "Hello, Mr. Gu!" Gu Muyan smiled faintly. Their fingers touched, then parted at once. Jiang Yi's nose suddenly stung. It seemed he really had moved on from her. But she didn't know that throughout the entire meeting, Gu Muyan kept one hand beneath the table, savoring the lingering warmth she had left behind. I love you, as uninhibited as the wind, as fierce as fire. Even after the flames have burned out, I leave you with their warmth. #One-SidedHealing# #MendingWhatWasBrokenAfterALongSeparation# #BothLeadsAreEachOther'sFirstLoveAndHaveNoOtherRomanticPartners# #ASweetLittleRomance,NoAngst,TheStoryBeginsWithTheirReunion# Theme: A love that endures until death
