Maurizia Woolfolk's Book
Brighter Than Summer
Many people say that Lu Yan is dating me because I look like his white moonlight—the girl who dropped out of school to treat her depression. In response, I held up a photo of that girl, which my roommate had found from who knows where, and compared it to myself in the mirror. Hmm, my eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, but no matter how hard I try, I can't replicate that girl's melancholic aura. They all say I'm a natural optimist, the kind that shines brightly with endless sunshine. I think, in this regard, Lu Yan and I are quite compatible. He is the type who effortlessly draws attention with every move he makes; when he smiles with his eyes crinkled, it can completely captivate you. I find it hard to imagine that he, as a person, could really have the patience to comfort a girl who might burst into tears at any moment.
