CHAPTER 28
After saying this, I turned around and left.
I took off all my clothes in the room. I brought each item up to my nose to sniff, to see if it had a nicotine smell. Then, I took another thorough bath, washing with soap over and over again. After I finished washing up, I changed into a white embroidered shirt. It was new, I had never worn it before. I placed the clothes that I had just taken off into a plastic bag and brought it to the laundromat to get dry cleaned.
CHAPTER 27
I huddled in the closet, listening indifferently to Roxette. After three times, I became sleepy. Through the crack, I saw Li Chuan sitting up on the bed with the computer and the two large monitors on. He concentrated on drawing while listening to the music.
CHAPTER 26
I sat there for a whole two and a half hours in Li Chuan’s room explaining each poem of Xie Ling Yun’s to him. In the beginning, I thought it was needed for work.

It’s been 6 years since they’ve seen each other. Xiao Qiu has clearly been hiding her hurt inside. Now that she meets Li Chuan again, the memories are going to rush right back. But Xiao Qiu is no longer that bright and happy 17 year old girl that Li Chuan left behind. Their reconciliation with each other doesn’t go off too smoothly.
Yup, Xiao Qiu is heading straight towards Li Chuan once again. However, a new “rival” has appeared on scene. I don’t think he’s going to pose much of a threat to Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu’s love though. She’s still got the same attitude towards other guys as before, even though Li Chuan has been gone for so long. Obviously, no one can measure up to him.
Xiao Qiu has grown up and is now ready to make her way through the working world. This path that she’s on will soon make her collide with someone she’s been forcing herself to forget. But first, we’ll see how well Xiao Qiu fares in the real world.

Life will always go on. We’ve caught a glimpse of how Xiao Qiu is coping from her writings to “her diary.” This chapter, we get to more of Xiao Qiu trying to pick up the pieces of her life.
The picture above is of winter jasmines which flowers during the winter months. This chapter is the start of many more heartbreaks for both us and Xiao Qiu. Let’s try to get through it quickly, shall we?
