Summary
Questions:
1. How would D help someone with amnesia rebuild self-awareness when said self-awareness keeps crawling under one’s blanket?
2. How would D gently encourage independence and appropriate distance without hurting her feelings?
3. How would D remove his best friend from his bed without physically lifting her, which feels unethical and is also impossible when she clings like a koala to him?Any advice is highly appreciated, but please keep it constructive.
Or: An Anonymous sender posted in an internet secret forum, asking for an advice.

Summary
(Stelle knew it was wrong. She knew she was running away regardless of how she phrased it so nicely in her head.)
This wasn’t love in the way stories described it. This was desperation—a selfish craving for something safe, something that wouldn’t reject her or grow distant. But what else could she do? She couldn’t tell the real Dan Heng. She couldn’t even bear the thought of ruining what they had.
So, if creating a reflection of him, a digital shadow, would dull the ache for a little while, then so be it.
It’s the only way, she told herself. The only way she can ease these unbearable feelings without ruining what they have.
Or: Finding an outlet to vent her feelings for her best friend, Stelle created an AI chat that behaved exactly like Dan Heng.

Summary
"Come on, you two can't tell me that you didn't think this is a wedding, or at least engagement, rings for a second!"
"You're reading too much of those cringe Xianzhou romance novels, March. I can't see it."
"Neither am I." Dan Heng shrugged. "It's impossible for that man to have that kind of relationship with anyone. The General never mentioned anything like that, nor do I remember something that could potentially have that inclination to my past life. If anything, perhaps these rings are a gift for one of his comrades in the quintet."
"Two peas in the same pod." March glared at them.
"We're just being realistic." Stelle huffed. "Like how I doubt even our own Dan Heng over here could have a single romantic bone in his body."
Or: Stelle found herself encountering a collosal misfortune of being transported back in time even before the founding of the Xianzhou's most famous High Cloud Quintet. Thrown in the chaotic past of warring against Yaoshi's abominations and living in the piece of history she only heard about, Stelle had to face the consequences of being at the wrong place and the wrong time—or was she, really?

Summary
"—Can I kiss you?" He was forthright with his intentions, seemingly determined not to cause any more misunderstandings between them.
Stelle swallowed the lump on her throat, her pulse beating erratically as she nodded her head, a little too eagerly for her own liking—or embarrassment. "Y-Ye—"
The rest of her sentence was silenced by his lips.
He took her hands tenderly, and she found that his palms were trembling slightly—just like her, this must be nerve-wracking to him. She could feel the heat from his skin, from his breath; as he proceeded to kiss her cheeks and eyelashes. He kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, the arch of her jaw…
And finally, this time, he kissed her on the lips.
Dan Heng's point of view. A not-so quite unrequited love hesitantly blooming amidst the pouring rain and self-misgivings, watching and watching for its other half to flourish.

Summary
Jing Yuan was right. It was so hard to fit in in an already established group of friends—family, in their case. Unbidden loneliness will undeniably creeped, insecurities will weathered the familiar atmosphere even amidst the comforting warmth of the people she comes to love more than herself.
And the most painful part of all—nothing of it was their fault.
It's all on her.
It's even more pathetic and petty that she felt a stabbing pain in her chest when thinking that Dan Heng would always prioritise March over her.
Stelle's point of view. A not-so quite unrequited love tirefully blooming amidst the pouring rain and unshed tears, waiting and waiting for its other half to flourish.
