Synopsis:
Tsundere, soft-hearted younger gong x Flirty, gentle older jie shou
Broken mirror, mended/Chasing after a love interest/Fire pit of regret
During graduation season, Yu Xia, weary of her mother’s nagging, reluctantly agreed to meet her prospective roommate.
In that single encounter, she came face-to-face with Zheng Yun, her ex-girlfriend who had abandoned her three years prior.
Their eyes met, and they tacitly pretended not to recognize each other.
Throughout the meal, Zheng Yun smiled warmly, accepting every compliment with grace.
But Yu Xia’s thoughts drifted to the brown mole on the inner side of Zheng Yun’s index finger, to the way she used to clutch the pillow corner, her soft sobs barely audible above the summer night’s cicadas.
Three years ago, during a summer vacation trip, Yu Xia passed through Nanqiao Town and happened to encounter a stunning beauty in a qipao. Her black hair cascaded to her waist, her lips were crimson, and her teeth gleamed white as she smiled warmly.
The woman wore an exquisitely crafted ivory-white qipao that accentuated her slender, fair limbs. A porcelain-white jade bracelet adorned her wrist, making her beauty seem utterly out of place amidst the bustling vegetable market, as if a celestial being had descended to earth.
As she leaned closer, Yu Xia overheard the beauty, still smiling, haggling with the owner: “Owner, round it down, please.”
Ah, a celestial being who has embraced the mortal world.
Zheng Yun perfectly embodied Yu Xia’s ideal of an “older sister.”
She was capable and independent, able to take what she wanted and let go without hesitation.
When they were together, she lived in the moment, enjoying every moment to the fullest. When it was time to leave, she didn’t even leave a way to contact her.
Two months of passion, followed by three years of separation.
Yu Xia found cohabitating manageable and refused to dwell on the past, throwing herself wholeheartedly into her work.
One day, returning home, she found a half-drunk woman sprawled on the sofa. Hearing her enter, the woman stumbled to her feet, grabbed Yu Xia’s wrist, and whispered, “Don’t leave me.”
Yu Xia gently but firmly pried the woman’s fingers loose.
You were the one who left me first.
