Long street Fiction
Long street

[End of the text, next book: "Residing in My Heart"] [He is like the endless street I can't see in my dreams.] On their first encounter, Xiang Yu saw Jin Fubai and took off his expensive shirt. He casually balled it up and handed it to her, saying, "Sit on it, the ground is cold." The second time they met was in a strange city plagued by consecutive heavy rain. Xiang Yu's flight was delayed, the train was delayed, and the hotel staff politely told her, "Sorry, we're out of rooms." Jin Fubai leaned against the side and calmly asked her, "I have a top-floor suite, want to join me?" This short story is about a hundred thousand words long and has a happy ending, not a sad ending. The next book, "Residing in My Heart," is summarized as follows: Cheng Xiaonan has a girlfriend outside of school who drives a red sports car and is beautiful and cool. His friends advise him, "Xiaonan, no matter how well we do in school, we can't handle the sisters in society!" Cheng Xiaonan nonchalantly replies, "Just for fun." Before long, Cheng Xiaonan is indeed dumped. He still smiles coolly and says, "Just for fun." However, the next day, his friend sees Cheng Xiaonan with red eyes, and he asks, "She went to Stanford University in Germany to pursue her Ph.D." His friend is confused and says, "Stanford is in the United States, right?" Yu Qian returns to China to participate in a private dress show. She walks gracefully in a silk robe that sways with her movement. Suddenly, someone steps on the train of her robe from behind. Yu Qian turns her head and sees Cheng Xiaonan. He asks, "Do you still remember me?" Yu Qian smiles tenderly and points to her temple, saying, "I had a car accident a few years ago." Cheng Xiaonan mistakenly believes that Yu Qian has amnesia and decides to pursue her again. As he pursues her, he realizes that the car accident she mentioned... seems to have been her bike hitting the green belt? Can someone really have amnesia like this? And she's playing the part of me again? The theme of this story is to strive to live a diligent and positive life.
