[ NOTE: The second half of the last chapter has been rewritten and updated. If the version you read yesterday didn't mention the kiss under the plum tree, please swipe down to refresh. Due to plot changes, the old version won't flow correctly into this chapter.

I know I've done late edits like this a few times in the past already … and I sincerely apologize if this is disruptive to your reading experience. Please trust me that I'm trying my best to make sure this doesn't keep happening! Thank you so much for your patience and understanding <3 ]
