Washed by the Creek

They met when she was away for training, spotting him in a truck at the entrance to the residential compound. They first interacted on the train.

They got to know each other on the train back to their work unit. She asked for other people's WeChat contacts, and that was how they exchanged contact information.

They got in touch because she sent him a WeChat message by mistake.

Things gradually developed during his field training, with them chatting and flirting back and forth.

When she went away to study, they were in touch less often, but their relationship was good.

The first time she deleted him: She liked him, so her expectations were too high. She told him she liked him, but he said he had never thought of her that way. When he didn't reciprocate, she decided to stop contacting him. Little by little, she forgot about him.

They got in touch again: Half a year later, she suddenly felt she'd been childish. After all, they were friends, so she added him again.

Losing him: They were rarely in touch, and she was always the one reaching out. She gradually realized he liked someone else, but still wasn't ready to admit it.

The end: At last, he announced his relationship on his Moments. She got drunk for the first time. Forget him.

A cup of wine, a new song. Last year's weather, the old pavilion. How often will the setting sun return?
