A Single Branch

At seventeen, Song Yezhi would have become anything for Yi Qingwei—a piano waiting to be played, silent until touched. Seven years later, when Yi Qingwei finally asks if he's still willing, Song Yezhi smiles and says no. But at twenty-nine, he breaks his own promise. By the salty sea, Yi Qingwei whispers: "Wait for me in the next life. Everything cycles—we'll meet again." A bittersweet romance spanning twelve years, told from the perspective of a man who loved too early and waited too long.
