At the end of summer, when she was eighteen, Xu Xiao smelled blood behind the school gate. She crouched down, narrowed her eyes, and politely asked the trash can beside Yan Song, “Hey, are you okay?”
Yan Song leaned weakly against the wall and laughed under his breath, recognizing her as the new blind girl in his class.
In early spring, when she was nineteen, Xu Xiao smelled cigarette smoke on Yan Song and said, “Yan Song, no more smoking. I can’t smell you anymore.”
Yan Song said he would quit.
In late autumn, when she was twenty, Xu Xiao said she wanted to elope with Yan Song.
Yan Song didn’t agree.
“Xu Xiao, have you seen All About My Love?”
“No.”
“Running off with a poor boy never ends well.”
At twenty-two, Xu Xiao got married, and Yan Song sent her a wedding gift.
At twenty-three, Xu Xiao went abroad, and Yan Song didn’t see her off.
At twenty-four, Yan Song had no news of her.
This is a story about a poor boy and a rich, beautiful heiress.
But perhaps it can’t really be called a story.
Stories have endings. They don’t.
Only Yan Song remembers those days.
Beyond that, there is no trace of them left in this world.
Please note:
· Bad ending, with a semi-open extra
· There will be no plot about a poor boy dragging a rich heiress into ruin
· Xu Xiao is partially sighted at first, then loses her sight completely
· Yan Song only smokes briefly before quitting
· No real-life inspiration. Please don’t read the characters as real people
· Contains invented details, such as the school’s name
· The blurb was screenshotted and archived on 2024.11.21
