Dark Willows, Bright Flowers

At this very moment, on Earth, there are about 20,000 people suitable to be your life partner... (George Bernard Shaw). If you knew that no matter which direction you head, there would always be 1/20000 of the people in the world waiting for you, would you still be content with continuing to be an unattached introvert?

Fall in Love (The Original Work)

Actually, whether it's Lin Zefeng, Lin Zexiu, Dou Nan, or even Xi Lin, do I really need to repay all the affection they've shown me? To be a bit selfish, I'm just one person facing four men, choosing any one of them would hurt the others.


So far, the only one I feel I owe is Dou Nan. He's been unable to find me and I believe he must be frantically worried by now. I should make things clear to Dou Nan immediately. It might hurt him, but better a short pain than a long one. Now that I've realized I've fallen in love with Lin Zefeng, how can I maintain an uncertain relationship with Dou Nan?


That would be an insult to him. And the last person I want to hurt is him.


"I don't even understand what I mean myself," Lin Zexiu said with a wry smile, "Essentially, it was painful for me to give up on you, but now I suddenly can't bear to let go. However, my brother has done so much for me, now it's my turn to give back."
