Work Text:
Qiao Ling thought she knew what love was.
That fluttering feeling
in your stomach that gave you pause;
catching yourself stealing
glances every time you thought they weren’t aware.
But, it wasn’t the same with Xu Shanshan. Maybe it was because
Qiao Ling knew that she would never feel the same, that there
was never a chance that Xu Shanshan would ever all all her flaws.
But, whatever it was, it left Qiao Ling feeling mad.
Furious, despaired, annoyed.
Instead of how she always felt glad.
Curious, cared for, overjoyed.
Maybe true love just wasn’t for her.
Or, at least it wasn’t in the cards. There was no true love’s kiss coming to save her.
