The day Wen Li first met Zhou Siting,

her family had abandoned her on an unfamiliar country road. She walked along it for a long time. At one point, she looked up and saw someone else on the road.

The orange sunset stretched Zhou Siting's shadow long and thin. She froze, then called out without thinking, "Hey."

Zhou Siting seemed just as surprised that there was someone else on the road, and slowed his pace.

From the sky ablaze with sunset to the moon and stars filling the night, Wen Li walked behind him the whole way.

The summer night breeze rippled gently, and her heart burst into flame.

When they met again, Zhou Siting was the confident, brilliant top student at A University Affiliated High School, while Wen Li was just an ordinary transfer student.

It took her countless days and nights to stand beside him on the rankings.

They became friends, though they were never especially close.

At university, Wen Li was working up the courage to confess when she came across her roommate's relationship announcement.

The girl was leaning her head against a handsome guy in a face mask. Wen Li knew those flirtatious, roguish eyes all too well.

But her confession email had already been sent and could not be recalled.

"Thank you for walking that road with me, even though you don't remember it. May the strong wind of that night carry you toward a bright future."

Luckily, she had sent it to an email address Zhou Siting had long since stopped using.

No one knew about her confession.

She tried to get to know someone new, but Zhou Siting suddenly barged into a matchmaking dinner and took her away.

Wen Li had never heard him plead so humbly: "How about we walk that road again?"

"This time, I won't forget."

The moon doesn't know how serene and bright she is, nor does it even know that it is the moon., Borges

The day Wen Ketao first met Xi Ye, she was at the home of the kind benefactor who was funding her fencing lessons.

The girl was slender and frail, wearing an old school uniform from her rural middle school that looked like a sack. The foil in her hand was battered and worn.

Her benefactor introduced his son. "You can call him Brother Ye."

The young man had striking features and wore fine clothes. He was noble and elegant.

It was love at first sight.

Wen Ketao blushed. She tucked in the toe of her cheap smiley-face sneakers, cracked across the front, and called him, "Brother Ye."

Xi Ye smiled with lazy abandon. "Keep smiling, little sis."

After moving in with Xi Ye's family, Wen Ketao witnessed countless girls live and die for him.

She kept to her place as the girl receiving financial support, careful not to let anyone discover her girlish feelings.

Until one time, after Xi Ye mischievously made her drink a glass of wine, she used the alcohol as an excuse to steal a kiss from him. Tentative, light as a dragonfly's touch.

Xi Ye froze for a moment, his expression turning stern.

He pushed her away.

Three years later, Wen Ketao won gold at the Olympics and became a beloved national sweetheart known to every household.

By then, Xi Ye had already become the music industry's hottest prodigy, a singer-songwriter who excelled at lyrics, composition, and singing. Even his casually improvised songs swept the charts.

After a dinner banquet, several men vied to give Wen Ketao a ride.

As Xi Ye watched the young woman about to get into someone else's car, he strode over, swept her up in his arms, and carried her to his own car. Wen Ketao stared at him with reddened eyes. Unable to resist, he pinched her fair cheek and said through gritted teeth, "So I let you call me Brother Ye all these years for nothing?"

One night, paparazzi snapped photos of Wen Ketao sharing a passionate kiss with a man beside a motor home on an advertising shoot. The man was rumored to be musical prodigy Xi Ye.

Xi Ye shielded the girl's flushed face, leaned close to her ear, and asked with a mischievous grin, "When are you going to promote me from Brother Ye to your actual boyfriend?"
