Dust and Mist

When Lin Wu first met Jiang Chen, the school's crabapple trees were in full bloom. He was wearing a dark blue master's gown and asked if she could take a photo for him.

Lin Wu stared at his handsome face and suddenly remembered the gossip she'd heard a few days earlier. She froze on the spot.

Jiang Chen waved a hand in front of her eyes and smiled, his expression gentle. "It's okay. If it's inconvenient, don't worry about it."

In her haste, Lin Wu grabbed his camera. "It's fine, it's fine."

She left in such a hurry that she took his camera with her.

Lin Wu didn't think Jiang Chen could possibly fall for her.

He was a refined young master standing at the top of the pyramid, while she was just a down-and-out student who had fallen into the dust.

Jiang Chen brushed a fallen blossom from her hair and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Another spring came. Dust filled the air, and yellow sand obscured the sky.

Lin Wu pulled her suitcase along as she said goodbye to him. "Jiang Chen, we just weren't meant to be."

Watching her dejected figure, Jiang Chen murmured to himself, "Lin Wu, I love you."

But I'm sorry. I can't give you anything but my love.

A few things to know:

1. Rich young master x college student

2. Both leads are each other's first love / tragic ending / five-year age gap / slow burn

3. A story about "I love you, but we can't be together"

4. Not very long, about a hundred thousand words
