Where the Wind Falls Still

Next up: "The Mountain Moon and the Camellia"

Ye Zhian first met Ji Xunye at the home of her mentor.

Amid the snow, he wore a cold, heartless expression and gave her a smile. "She's not here. Come back another day."

Her heart fluttered. Daring not to meet his eyes, she clutched her documents and hurried away.

They met again four years later, when he stopped her by the roadside. "It's hard to get a cab around here. Get in, I'll drive you."

That night, he also said, "My hotel is close to Yan University. Want to come over?"

Knowing full well that the road ahead was a terrible mistake, Ye Zhian could only accept his invitation and keep making the same mistake.

During the year they were together, he stood up for her and brought her along to socialize with his circle. Knowing she loved snow, he even arranged a spectacular artificial snowfall for her.

She was happy, but didn't dare lose herself in it. On the day the first snow arrived, she steeled herself and broke up with him.

Everyone in Beicheng's social circles knew that the usually arrogant and reckless Young Master Ji had someone by his side. He'd cherished her above all else, only for her to coldly dump him.

When they met again at a dinner, everyone waited to see Young Master Ji take his revenge. Instead, all they saw was the heroine chatting and laughing with someone else.

The hero blocked the view with an elusive glimmer, hiding the bitterness in his eyes. "I loved her for nothing."

Those who didn't know the truth thought he'd gotten too caught up in his role and was putting on a lovesick act. But a few days later, someone saw him pull her into a stairwell and kiss her, clinging to her as if he couldn't let go.

At last, he asked in a low, pleading voice, "Can we get back together?"

-

Ji Xunye had far too many moments of "acting on a whim" with Ye Zhian.

On a whim, he offered her a ride. Not long after, on another whim, he pampered her like a princess.

Just as he wished, she became harder and harder to please, always clinging to him and asking for stories when she couldn't sleep. He never seemed annoyed. He'd just pinch her cheek and say with an indulgent smile, "Go ahead, drive me to my grave."

What he didn't expect was that later, she really would nearly drive him to his grave.

---"The Mountain Moon and the Camellia"---

At seventeen, Ye Chunxi moved into Qinyuan with her aunt. As she turned into a covered walkway, she stopped for no apparent reason.

In the misty drizzle, a boy in a white shirt stood among the waterside pavilions, like an elegant landscape painting.

He glanced at her from afar, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Her aunt told her that he was the child of Qinyuan's owner, a few months older than her.

Pei Yuqing's handwriting was as clean and beautiful as his features, but Ye Chunxi could never copy it properly.

One day, he caught her in the act and asked what she was writing.

She stammered, "I'm copying your handwriting, writing your name."

He asked nothing more. He came up behind her, gently took her hand, and guided her in writing her own name on the paper.

That was the closest Ye Chunxi ever came to Pei Yuqing throughout her girlhood.

-

They met again seven years later. Pei Yuqing had lost the use of his legs in a car accident.

By a twist of fate, she became his rehabilitation therapist.

Before she could introduce herself, he softly asked, "Ye Chunxi?"

She was amazed that he remembered her so well.

Looking at her, he smiled warmly. "You're not someone people can easily forget."

At those words, Ye Chunxi's youthful feelings were rekindled.

-

Spring was the season Pei Yuqing hated most.

That is, until Ye Chunxi came along.

Through every painful plum-rain season, her gentle gaze soothed him better than a warm towel.

The ugly scars on his legs, which he was tired of hiding, became strong, new branches in her eyes.

She told him she liked collecting wind chimes. Later, he opened a wind-chime workshop for her in her name, and called it "Welcoming Spring."
