[Next BE story: Waiting for Winter / Lone Star Universe]
At twenty-seven, Yue Xi attended her high school reunion for the first time in years.
At the next table, Pei Siyan listened as his wife spoke softly. "...The author of the novel I've been reading lately is called 'Xile.' She graduated from your school too. Do you know her?"
He smiled faintly and thought for a moment. "I haven't heard of her."
Yue Xi smiled too.
"Xile" was the pen name Pei Siyan had given her in high school. She'd used it for ten whole years.
But Pei Siyan seemed to have forgotten it long ago.
The time they'd spent apart seemed to have become longer than the time they'd spent in love.
Thankfully, in the end, he would become just another page in her story, one she could turn with a casual flick.
* A short BE story, set at school
* The first of the last two lines in the blurb is from the lyrics of "July 7"; the second is adapted from something online

Blurb for the next BE story, Waiting for Winter:
"What's your name?"
"Shan Ying."
"Which yin?" The man in front of her was clearly from the south, and didn't distinguish the front and back nasal sounds very clearly. "The yin in gold and silver, or the ying in 'the river between us'?"
"The ying with the water radical and the character for winding."
"Oh." The man smiled. "Next time, you can say it's the ying in a winding river."
-
To Shan Ying, Zhou Yanbei is both her benefactor and a cold moon forever beyond her reach.
-
When the first heavy snow of winter arrives, she knows he'll be back soon.
She has waited a long time for the chance to see him once a year.
No poetic meter or rhyme can express how much she looks forward to winter.
She has been looking forward to it for ten years.
Because she can't bring herself to say "I love you," she says, "Winter is my favorite."
Theme: Love yourself
The male protagonist just gave up on the female protagonist?
Summary: Bad ending I'm sorry, I really don't understand how the male protagonist forgot the female protagonist. This ending is like being forced for the sake of being. I really don't understand the senseless ending. The ending is really terrible. The male protagonist forgot the female protagonist for no reason. I was really scared.
The male protagonist blamed the female protagonist for the car accident that happened to his grandparents, and said not to contact her again, leaving the female protagonist alone. As a result, 10 years later, he was getting married and came back to find a party, so he said this again. At first I just felt sorry for the heroine. But after seeing the last sentence, I don't seem to be sad anymore.
Pass through a sudden storm, and from now on, drive away from the summer related to you
Does Tiantian have a parallel time and space episode? 😭 😭 😭 Xi Xi is really too bitter. I want to watch Tiantian Tiantian 😭 😭 I cried to death
No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. How could Pei forget it?
I also concluded that it was a bad ending. I was very surprised. Is everything the heroine's fault? They originally liked each other, and they should have noticed each other, but in the end, the male protagonist blamed all the mistakes on the female protagonist. He went abroad alone, and after 10 years, he came back and said he wanted to get married.
So he really forgot?
Ahhhhhhh, it's so uncomfortable. After reading this
It's hope Leyue, not hope Lele 😭 😭 😭
