The Moonlight Falls

Short story, both are virgins, 1v1, rekindled love, an aloof beauty falls from her pedestal

Chen Jinxia pursued Fu Yunli from the time she was seventeen. People teased her about it until she was twenty-five.

By the time she was completely over it, she could laugh and say "I was young and foolish" when her friends teased her.

It was eight years later, in her third year after graduating from college, when she saw Fu Yunli again.

She was reporting from the epicenter of an earthquake, while Fu Yunli was helping evacuate the researchers who had come with him.

They had meant to pass each other like strangers, but when she woke up in the interview van in the middle of the night, Fu Yunli's coat was draped over her.

They crossed paths again at a friend's wedding. After the wedding, she stayed the night, and Fu Yunli hadn't left either.

At ten that evening, the doorbell rang. Chen Jinxia got up and saw him standing outside. "I have a boyfriend. It's not appropriate to talk to a strange man in the middle of the night."

"Didn't you already break up with him?"

"He hasn't agreed yet, so I can't make that decision on my own."

Fu Yunli looked at her and folded his arms. "Chen Jinxia, you can't make that decision on your own with someone else, but you can with me?"

Chen Jinxia was confused. She had been the only one pursuing him. When had they ever been together?
