[Short Story + Secret Crush + Bad Ending]
When we first met, you were cold toward everyone.
You were always polite and knew how to keep your distance.
In my darkest days, you were my only light.
Later, I saw you being so gentle with a girl.
That's when I understood: it wasn't that you couldn't be gentle. I just wasn't the person you were gentle with!
A secret crush is a one-person play with no lines. Speak up, and it becomes a tragedy.
Later, I met a boy named Lu Huai.
He was sunny and handsome.
He told me, “Whenever you need me, I'll be there.”
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't touched... but we were never meant to be together.
