Above the Clouds, Beneath the Deep Blue Sea

Is there someone who has hurt you so badly you’re left covered in wounds, yet you still can’t forget them? He is a handsome, wealthy scion of a powerful family, while she is an unknown girl who lives as low as the dust. Falling in love with him was destined to be a hopeless romance, like a moth flying into a flame. Qin Xiaoying knew from the start that he had someone he cherished, his childhood sweetheart. Yet she still plunged headfirst into his world, watching helplessly as she fell deeper and deeper in love. By his side, she waited as time passed, watching flowers bloom and wither, clouds drift by, and snowflakes settle on the branches. She wanted neither his promises nor his gifts. All she longed for was his gaze, as gentle as water. He gave her the smallest bit of warmth, and she treasured it like a priceless gem. He gave her one embrace, and she was so happy that she forgot all her pain. Back then, she thought that if she could keep quietly waiting by his side, then one day, after they had seen all the sights and the splendor had faded, he would stay with her through the quiet years. Back then, Xiao Yuhan knew all too well that whenever he wanted, he could find her just a short distance away, waiting for him beneath the dim lights. Whenever he turned around, she was there, filling his life with her shadow. But he forgot that even she could lose heart and grow tired. He also forgot that happiness often slips quietly through the softest place in your heart, then vanishes without a trace. Xiao Yuhan was the one who turned her world upside down and made everything she knew unrecognizable. While she was still immersed in the joy he had given her, he abandoned her for the woman he loved. When she was all alone and desperate, he was in a foreign land. When she finally caught hold of happiness, he suddenly barged back into her life. With a single contract, she appeared before him, alluring and graceful after a bath. How could any of it be made right again? “Xiao Yuhan, how did we end up like this?” she said, her tears swallowing her words. “Yingying, if I could choose, I would never hurt you in the slightest,” he said, hiding his sorrow deep inside. Qin Xiaoying kept asking herself: Why is there someone in this world whom you love so deeply, whom you’re so in love with, yet who remains unmoved? When, under his gaze, she said, “If I had to choose between being your lover and your wife, I’d rather be your...,” her heart fell to pieces. When time turned back and she disappeared from the city without a trace, just as he had five years earlier, his eyes went dark. “Yingying, if even my life isn’t enough, what can I offer to bring you back?” He ran all over the world, searching for her trail. When all the splendor fades, I will wait for you to return. A warm welcome to comments and requests for updates. Feel free to shower me with coffee and collections, too!
