Xin Hao and Hai Shini were high school classmates. They liked each other, but both kept their feelings hidden. After they enrolled at the same university, they could no longer hold back their feelings. Egged on by their classmates, they naturally became a couple.
After they started dating, Hai Shini suddenly grew incredibly bossy, always ordering Xin Hao around. “Xin Hao, recite the rules for being a boyfriend.”
Xin Hao glanced around and protested aggrievedly, “Could you keep your voice down? I have my pride, too.”
“Are you going to recite them or not?” Hai Shini glared at Xin Hao, her eyes full of warning.
Following the principle that a good man doesn’t fight with a woman, Xin Hao rubbed her head and sighed helplessly before saying gently, “All right, I’ll recite them.”
“A girlfriend going out needs to bring tissues. When she’s on her period, don’t complain. When she’s feeling unwell, show her you care. When she’s unhappy, patiently comfort her. In short, the girlfriend comes first.”
Xin Hao finished with a grimace, then cautiously glanced at Hai Shini. She smiled with satisfaction. “That’s more like it.”
And so they spent a sweet university life together and smoothly entered the workforce. But their good times didn’t last. Under the weight of cruel reality, they gradually drifted apart.
Two years later, Hai Shini said to the man before her, “Xin Hao, I’m not easy to win over anymore. Are you sure?”
He smiled. “It’s fine. I’m good at this.”
