Sanshui and Sanmu

Sorry for the irregular updates. Life is busy, so update times are unpredictable.

Fang Sanshui (Fang Miao) vs. Chen Sanmu (Chen Sen)

Also known as The Sanshui Diary. A slice-of-life story, in first person.

Before we knew each other well

“Hello, Ms. Fang.”

“Hello, Mr. Chen.”

“Your Five Elements are lacking wood, so you have Sen in your name?”

“That's right.” Chen Sen glanced at me and smiled. “Looks like your Five Elements are lacking water.”

After we got close

“Fang Sanshui, you should change your name to Fang Rui, the character with three hearts.”

I rested my head on his arm and closed my eyes, pretending to nap. Lazily, I asked, “Why?”

Chen Sen gave a soft scoff and replied, “Because I don't think you lack anything. You just lack common sense.”

“I can't use that name.” I opened my eyes and grinned at him. “Three hearts? Wouldn't that make me fickle?”

Just as I'd expected, he fell for it and smiled, the corners of his lips curling up.

In the end...

I happened to see his diary. It had these two lines written in it:

“I have no regrets in my life. My only sorrow is that Sanshui had nowhere to return to in her youth.”

“Now Sanshui has met Sanmu. I would give all my life to be her place to rest.”
