The moonlight was as placid as water, a beauty by his side in a singles' dormitory at Hangcheng No.1 Middle School.
Li Ruoshui wrapped her arms around Shen Fanyun's neck and whispered story after story from their past into his ear. She spoke of their classmates and the different paths their lives had taken since graduation. Shen Fanyun remembered some names vividly, while others took him a long moment to place.
At one point, Li Ruoshui took out a notebook. Page after page was filled with Shen Fanyun's name. Tucked inside was a love letter she had written as a girl but never sent, even after more than a decade. The paper had yellowed, bearing the marks of time.
Unfolding the letter, Shen Fanyun couldn't help but sigh. The words overflowed with affection, warmth, and Li Ruoshui's unique, playful personality.
He held the letter open, cleared his throat dramatically, and began to read aloud. "Hey, Shen Fanyun! I bet you're surprised to be getting a letter from me, aren't you?"
