When I met him on a rainy afternoon the air smelt like gardenias. My black oxford pumps were soaked from accidentally stepping on a puddle, and the tiny yellow umbrella I held up barely saved me from the chilly rain. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, the sky was pink and blue. I was starving and almost craving to smell the stuffy scent of my closed up home's small living room. When I met him on a rainy afternoon, his son held my feet out of the blue and called me 'mum'. He rushed out of the restaurant only seconds later, his cheeks a pale flushed hue. When I met him one day on a rainy afternoon, he looked up into my eyes and apologized. And inside my head, I thought to myself... what a lovely way to meet a lovely man on such a lovely rainy afternoon. ••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-••••••-•••••• 1st Draft - 15/03/18 2nd Draft - 08/08/20 Published : 28/08/21 | Paperback & Kindle Cover : Sierra Po Trailer : boba

The night before we obtained our marriage certificate, I asked him, "When did you start to develop feelings for me?" He answered, "I don't remember." "But, why me?" "Why not you?" "I'm very petty, and I get jealous very easily." "So am I." "I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you." "So am I." "I haven't really dated, so I don't know what love is." "I don't know either." He held my hand gently, "But I know this. When I think about spending the rest of my life with you, I feel that my future is filled with hope." At 16, we used the same class desk, with less than 10cm between our arms. My peripheral vision was full of him. At 26, I woke up in the morning, and saw the sunlight softly shining on his face. I thought, this is how I want to grow old - gradually, together, with him. I guess this must be love. ___________________________________________________ Associated Names 我不喜欢這世界，我只喜欢你 Original Publisher 湖南少年儿童出版社

It's best to start with this book (One Lifetime is Never Enough / OLiNE). BUT before proceeding beyond chapter 28, I suggest to read book 0 (Loving You For A Lifetime/ LYFAL). Then, Book 2 (Remembering You For Eternity / RYFE) will be the conclusion of the tale spanning over the 3 books. Any images used were taken off the wonderful worldwideweb (mainly Pinterest). No copyright infringement ever intended. If you are aware of any credit due and which must be mentioned (or removed), please let me know. English is only my second language, so please bear with any of my errors. Book 0 and Book 1 especially, were written without editors and/or proofreaders. Mistakes abound.

Book 0 of "One Lifetime is Never Enough". A chance encounter. Or was it really? Lee Tanaka was a young man at the peak of his life. Smart, good-looking, great career in a growing law firm, with a good personality to boot, he was the perfect man. His life only revolved around various court cases. And good coffee. Until he met a young woman at a cafe.... A/N: Recommended to read this either before reading chapter 1.28 of Book "One Lifetime is Never Enough" or before reading it at all.

Lin Qian once thought the man she wanted would be handsome and formidable, able to "create clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another turn" in the business world, causing her to look up to him in admiration. There would be nothing he could not accomplish. But when she finally met the one that fits this, she realized how much she liked his impassiveness, his quietness, his persistence, and his loyalty. She liked him to the point that she was willing to be with him, to stand side by side with him in this callous business world that is full of bloodshed. To be reckless in these years of our life, irrespective of the future. An encounter, ordinary and dull like flowing water, produced the most dramatic and best years for him and her. -------- NOT MY WORK!!! Author: Ding Mo; 丁墨 Translator: Qidian International
