Like Starlight Shattered Across the Waves

Clear-headed, healing-focused niche planner x gentle, devoted young gentleman from Beijing's elite circle

·Reunion after a long separation | Reconciliation after a breakup | Mutual healing

-

In October, when osmanthus blossoms drifted into the classroom building, Qi Chen, a wealthy young man from Beijing, came to teach a class as a substitute. In class, he was bold and uninhibited, and dealt with his classmates briskly and decisively.

But after class, he called down from upstairs and asked her to bring him a book.

Later, at a neon-lit bar, Qi Chen mistook her for a worker. He called her over again from upstairs and ordered a lot of drinks.

Shu Yu hesitated, then asked outright if he was trying to help her earn commission.

Someone in the crowd called out, looking for him, and he gave a casual, amused laugh.

She tentatively asked him a question, only to be pulled out of there by him.

That day, she joked, "Do you like me?"

Amid the clamor, only his words, "Give me a chance," came through clearly.

This man, with his refined bearing and his usual distance from strangers, was tender with her to the utmost degree.

She, too, traveled thousands of miles to see him, and endured the devastation of thinking he was alive one moment and dead the next.

Unfortunately, she never expected that some people and some feelings, like a snowy night, would disappear without a sound, sealed away beneath the snow.

Shu Yu had always been clear-headed and self-possessed. Liking Qi Chen was her boldest experiment, and she asked for so little that she was able to walk away decisively two years ago.

Only later did she feel the depth of his love: a steadfast, devoted love that she would always be won over by. Once she had found it, she could no longer bear to let it go.

Qi Chen was as handsome as a fine jade, and his air of distinction often made people overlook his beautiful face. The game he ran became a global sensation without relying on his family in the slightest. A gentleman as modest and refined as he was could hardly be found elsewhere, yet again and again, he rushed to her side.

He was misunderstood, devoting himself to astronomical research. Everyone criticized Qi Chen for not knowing how to enjoy his privileged life, but Shu Yu always supported him.

Who doesn't have something they love?

In Qi Chen's eyes, he was a star wandering through the cosmos, while Shu Yu was the cradle of the sea.

The heat of the waves beat against the reefs, breaking into shimmering ripples. The starry sky had waited for this moment every second, to be reflected in the embrace of the waves, kissing passionately.

Sometimes the stars grow dim and low, but she always gazes at him with faith and hope.

She will say:

"After death, everyone becomes dust and becomes part of the stars. Then we should give ourselves names, too."

She will say:

"You haven't even lived a hundred years yet. What are you afraid of!"

And just as he did throughout all those years by her side, he will always protect her, cherish her, and rush to her.

You dream of catching a glimpse of something breathtaking in the vast starry sky, while I dream of your dream coming true

The stars and the sea are my faith, and I believe just as deeply that our love will last forever
