Mint in the Rain

Unlike Shu He, Jing Yi recognised Cheng Shu immediately. During those dull, monotonous high school days, he liked Shu He as much as he despised Cheng Shu. But he enviously realised that Cheng Shu had more right to stand beside her. Cheng Shu and she were competitors, classmates – they had legitimate roles in each…

Shu He’s voice rang out alongside his. He clearly hadn’t expected her sudden question. His lips moved, yet he gave no direct answer. The air remained silent for a moment, and she stood up emotionlessly. “Shu He—” He called out to her urgently, but Shu He ignored him, taking her bowl to the sink. “I…”…

After two years of not seeing Shu He, Jing Yi sat expressionless in his wheelchair. Before he could pretend to be cold and say anything, the woman had already walked past him with a calm expression. No pity, no hatred, no disappointment — just looking through him as if he were a stranger. — Shu…

Jing Yi desperately wanted to explain what happened back then, but his throat tightened, and he couldn’t speak a word. The air remained silent for a moment.

Li Minyu took her to see two other apartments. Shu He looked around each one. Actually, the environments were all nice, but she still preferred the first one. It felt more right to her, plus the shared rent for the first place was indeed cheaper. She thought about it briefly, then quickly made her decision:…

After parking her car, Shu He had barely reached the lift when disaster struck. This was already the second lift breakdown this month. The thought of climbing ten floors immediately irritated her, but she had no choice but to convince herself it was fine—just think of it as exercise. By the time she reached the…

After accompanying Xiang Lanye to handle the matter, twenty minutes had passed for Shu He. When the two returned to the restaurant, the food they had ordered before going downstairs was just ready. Xiang Lanye was actually Shu He’s senior from university. They met while working part-time during college, and later she introduced Shu He…

The fine rain fell on the transparent umbrella, gathering along the sloping curve and forming crystal-clear droplets that slid down, splashing into small ripples. The coffee shop door was pushed open from outside, and a cold breeze stirred the wind chimes, creating a crisp sound. The shop assistant heard the noise and reflexively called out…
