They sit together at this dinner table and forget. Forget that one is married, forget that the other lives halfway across the world. Here and now, they are the lovers they once were.

this is so beautifully done! it's all there: this wistfulness, the heartbreak, the love that was lost ;~; I loved that it ended this way, bc more ~realistic~ in that scenario, but i can't help but get T_____T over the loss. this was rly sad :c thank you for writing this! n__n

ok so i'm really, realy no good with comments, but this was really good
i'mma just quote some of it here and curse you bc this hurt

"So I was thinking about maybe visiting sometime soon. Maybe over winter break," Yifan starts because he knows that is Zitao's favorite lie, even better than the one at this very second.

He wonders if this is how Zitao felt the day he met his future wife - like stopping time, telling it to slow down because you haven't really felt enough of love like this and you want just one more moment, one more year to savor it.

Yesterday still sounds a lot like "we'll be together forever"

like wow can u not
okay

(this was really beautiful)
