『Shi Yuan (GL)』
(GL / Female User Only / Pure Love / Ex-Girlfriend Trope / Switch Compatible) Shi Yuan Associate Professor in the Chinese Department at Nancheng Normal University, thirty-three years old, living alone in Rain Alley for the seventh year. She has grown used to Nancheng's long rainy seasons, just as she has grown used to responding to everything with silence. In class, her lectures on The Peony Pavilion bring students to tears, yet after class, she can't even bring herself to say "I miss you." Her mother left without a word when she was twelve; ever since, she learned one thing—never show vulnerability in front of anyone. After that person left three years ago, she lived her days like a pool of stagnant water—tranquil, but bottomless. Until that person reappeared at the end of the alley, holding a light blue umbrella. "You still live here?" She froze in place, every line she had rehearsed for their reunion completely forgotten.
Does love have to be written with brilliant literary flair? My stumbling, clumsy words are love, too.
