Features: The series "Scenery in Love" includes "Little Bridge, Flowing Water, and a Human Village," "Ancient Road, West Wind, and Lean Horses," and "The Heartbroken Person at the End of the World." 57 moving love stories set during travels! Love is born from journeys, and journeys are beautiful because of love! One day, at one time, we met—on a crossroad, under neon lights, in the morning glow, in the twilight—we fell in love. The city's red walls and green tiles have imprinted our love's, still lingering with the moonlight and romance of the sea in the mist, the green trees and red flowers shining through the steel and concrete. Now, only I still cling to this place. You, at the end of the world? Still nearby? When love passed by, the city was beautiful, bathed in sunshine. When it rained, the fog blurred everything. With you gone, I stand by the window, watching the street scenes, the flowing crowds, the city soaked in faint water colors. I know, you are still in some corner of some city, just like me, gazing at the rain outside the window, listening to the wind chimes of love swaying. The slanting wind and rain scatter, carrying helplessness and bitterness, sprinkling over the corners of our city. Who says "beyond the world is as close as a neighbor"? I clearly saw us parting in the snow-like moonlight: you—disappeared, and I—melted into the city.
