Gu Xiaoli was bright and striking, with captivating peach-blossom eyes. She shot to fame soon after her debut, becoming an unstoppable sensation. Then she suddenly faded from view, lingering on the fringes of the eighteenth tier.

One day, she joined a dating show, and her partner turned out to be her former deskmate, Lu Jinghuai.

They had barely interacted at school.

One was top of the year, the other just an ordinary student.

When they met again, he was a young Best Actor, a distant and untouchable beauty on a high peak, cool and noble.

They were voted the couple with the least chemistry, and fans jokingly called them the divorce couple.

-

There's a famous saying in show business: fake a romance for the cameras, but don't fall for real.

Gu Xiaoli understood this very well. When she learned that Lu Jinghuai had loved someone for nine years, she turned and walked away, decisive and resolute.

On set, Gu Xiaoli ignored Lu Jinghuai's overtures.

That night, he cornered her in the stairwell.

The scent of dark wood pressed in from every direction.

She pushed him away awkwardly. "Have you ever thought about whether the person you like might be unhappy?"

Lu Jinghuai lowered his head unhurriedly, his fingertip brushing her flushed ear. His voice was husky. "And are you unhappy?"

-

After they married, their high school homeroom teacher posted dozens of photos in the class chat.

In every one, Lu Jinghuai stood behind Gu Xiaoli, head slightly bowed, dark eyes shining.

Gu Xiaoli pointed at the photos and asked why he always stood behind her. He only said it had become a habit.

While tidying up one day, an old diary fell out. The pages fluttered in the breeze before stopping on one particular page.

On the yellowed paper were a few brief lines:

I like standing behind her.

It's as if spring is pushing her toward me.

-The proud, solitary winter snow atop the mountain melts into a vivid, blazing rose. From then on, spring spreads across the mountains and plains.

In the end, he had planned it all for a long time, and got exactly what he wanted.

Striking, flamboyant actress vs. cool, restrained beauty on a high peak

Reunion after a long separation | A secret crush comes true | He falls for her first

--- Three Thousand Nights blurb ---

Song Yusheng and Pei Yanchu had never gotten along.

They'd been trading jabs since first grade, all the way into adulthood.

Right up until the moment before the awards ceremony, Song Yusheng was still teasing him, saying his dark purple satin suit made him look like an eggplant that had come to life.

Onstage, the two smiled graciously and exchanged polite words of congratulations.

Behind the scenes, they were at each other's throats over something trivial.

Afterward, Pei Yanchu sat beside Song Yusheng in his shredded suit and played Best Frenemies.

It was a time-honored tradition between them.

After an argument, they'd take the length of a song to cool down, then make up.

-

After yet another argument, Song Yusheng put on her headphones as usual, waiting for Pei Yanchu to play a song.

The familiar melody sounded. Song Yusheng leaned back on the sofa, her rosy lips opening and closing as she listed his offenses.

The song in her headphones suddenly changed to a tender love song.

On a damp, rainy night, sticky moisture slipped in through the window, clinging to them in wisps.

The power went out. Their shoulders rested against each other.

Neither made a move. They both knew what the other was thinking.

At the song's climax, Pei Yanchu suddenly covered her eyes. After a rustle of fabric, her headphones were pulled off.

By the faint moonlight, Pei Yanchu quietly watched the woman he'd longed for over three thousand nights and days.

Her butterfly-like lashes trembled.

A few seconds later,

His moist, husky voice sounded beside her ear:

"Song Yusheng, I'm counting to three."

"If you don't push me away, I'm going to kiss you."

.

A little scene from Pei Yanchu's Weibo:

P: Who wants to be friends with her?

P: She stuck a moon tattoo on her waist. What a coward, she didn't dare go alone, so she dragged me along.

P: Annoying. Why is she looking at another man again?

P: She doesn't dislike anyone else. She only dislikes me.

Some time later

@P

Bio: Song Yusheng's boyfriend.

Song Yusheng is the bright moon hanging high in the chaotic night.

And Pei Yanchu wants to kiss the moon.
