A Love Confession in the Evening Breeze

★ The sister story next door, Escaping the Moonlight, is now out. Please add it to your collection!

I will revise the text when I have time.

During her senior year of college, Jiang Yingwan helped her roommate move some luggage. By chance, someone took a picture of her and posted it on the campus confession board.

The person behind the post came to find her, pretending to be a confession-board user. She promptly blocked him and left it at that.

But she never expected him to track her down at home.

By the wooden window of an old alley house, the young man sat obediently beside her, watching her weave kesi silk.

Someone asked her, "Wanwan, who's this? Your boyfriend?"

Jiang Yingwan ignored the young man's hopeful gaze and introduced him coolly. "He's just a junior. We don't really know each other."

As a third-generation rich kid who never had to worry about money, Xu Lishang had the looks of a playboy, but he kept himself pure and took life as it came.

His friends all joked that he was born to be a freewheeling breeze, coming and going as he pleased.

Until one day, at a gathering, he kissed a girl right in front of everyone.

He told everyone he met, "I have a fiancée. Her name is Jiang Yingwan."

Anyone could see the adoration in his eyes, enough to drown in.

Just as everyone was marveling that even the freest breeze would eventually find a home, a contract suddenly surfaced.

It clearly stated: "During the term of this contract, the parties are only pretending for appearances."

"Party A: Xu Lishang"

"Party B: Jiang Yingwan"

It turned out the couple everyone had been rooting for was fake.

A famous Chinese fashion designer won an international design award for a collection of kesi pieces incorporating Chinese elements.

When the news reached China, the media outlets all celebrated.

The head of the Xu Group's Hengxia Corporation posted at the perfect moment from his personal account:

"@Jiang YingwanV. Congratulations, Wanwan. I'll make you something delicious when you come back."

Two people with no apparent connection suddenly revealed how close they were, and the internet was instantly abuzz with gossip.

Before long, someone dug up the fact that the two had married under contract and fabricated a romance for the public.

As everyone waited for an explanation, Jiang Yingwan, far away in a foreign country, suddenly reposted the message. She said nothing, only attached a photo.

The photo showed elegant, delicate lisianthus flowers, with a gift box set among them. Inside lay a finely crafted silver chain with a red cord, and an empty glass bottle.

The postcard beside the gift box read: The anniversary gift I promised you.

"It's not a cage. I just want to walk with you into the next life."

"I caught a wisp of the evening breeze to tell you I love you."
