That first meeting could hardly be called appropriate.
The rain lashed down, and the wind howled.
Luo Fu was soaked through, the tips of her hair clumping together with water. She took shelter beneath the eaves of a teahouse.
Then the red-lacquered wooden door beside her opened.
A tall, slender man stepped out and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. His every movement was refined, but there was nothing innocent about his detached gaze.
"Do you need help?"
"...Yes."
She nodded, bewitched.
And just like that,
she fell headlong into a blissful dream woven from his tenderness and care.
-
But every dream must end.
Sui Yuesheng was indeed a wonderful lover, and he indulged her. He was willing to accept everything, yet never gave her what she wanted.
Luo Fu ended their relationship, one in which they never said they loved each other.
-
After graduating from college,
Luo Fu became a game artist. But her supervisor called her in and said that all her character designs looked alike.
She was about to explain.
A hand reached out from the corner and picked up one of her sketches. A soft laugh followed, though the speaker's voice was a little hoarse.
"I think it's good."
"At least you have some conscience, A Fu."
-
Rumor had it that a young woman had started following Sui Yuesheng around, a game artist at a small company. Mr. Sui was very attentive to her, and had built a garden in the suburbs where flowers bloomed all year round.
Someone joked, "Is Mr. Sui imitating the ancients and keeping a beauty hidden away in a golden house?"
"I wouldn't dare hide her away," Sui Yuesheng said with a gentle smile. "Then she'd get mad at me again. I just built a place for her. When she feels like coming to see me, she can."
-
Even so, having loved,
having been happy, having touched Eden,
even if only for one day, is bliss.
