Originally titled "Sinking Without Restraint"
Zhong Fan first met Sang Si in high school. He was a handsome, refined young man with graceful manners. When she stumbled during class assignments, he reached out and helped her up. It was as if a ray of light had shone into Zhong Fan's heart, where it lingered, unforgettable.
So she became one of the many girls secretly in love with Sang Si.
But before she could confess, it was all over.
After graduating from high school, they went their separate ways, and Zhong Fan sealed her secret away forever.
They met again ten years later. Sang Si was now the lawyer handling a copyright dispute over Zhong Fan's books.
Zhong Fan was uneasy. She didn't want Sang Si to discover that she'd had a crush on him back then, so she deliberately kept her distance.
She diligently gathered evidence and documents for him, never expecting the lawyer to start bringing up other things with her.
One day, after they had handed over the documents, Sang Si drove Zhong Fan home. The warm air enveloped them, and the yellow glow of the headlights lent the car an air of intimacy.
Just as Zhong Fan was about to get out, Sang Si took her hand. "Zhong Fan, I want to ask you something."
Zhong Fan: "?"
Sang Si: "I don't want to be your lawyer anymore." He paused. "Can I put myself forward as your boyfriend?"
One day, Sang Si was looking for a document in Zhong Fan's study when he accidentally knocked a notebook off the bookshelf. A photo with yellowed edges slipped into view.
It was a picture Zhong Fan had secretly taken with him. When he turned it over, he found a line of neat, delicate handwriting:
"You dwell quietly in my heart, like the full moon in the night sky."
"You dwell quietly in my heart, like the full moon in the night sky.", Rabindranath Tagore
