Tenderness Is Gone, So Why Did You Only Realize Your Love Now?

[Pure Sweet Romance] [A Little Angst] [Single Heroine]

Thirteen years of loving her. In elementary school, the first stirrings of affection were just something he didn’t understand. In middle school, it was dismissed as wishful thinking. And he still held on in high school?

Age restrictions for minors.

What about college?

Being devoted is laughable. People pour cold water on you, then give you a new name: “simp.” It’s like you’re not even the same species anymore.

Ye Fan had loved Yu Qing since elementary school. She was a little princess, doted on by everyone, and seemed to think she deserved every good thing.

She took Ye Fan’s affection for granted. No matter how he confessed his feelings, she coldly rejected him.

Ask her how she felt about Ye Fan, and Yu Qing would always answer, “He’s really annoying!”

On her twentieth birthday, Ye Fan confessed for the ninety-ninth time. Yu Qing rejected him in front of the whole class.

Ye Fan’s heart finally went cold, and the warmth disappeared from his eyes.

Later, she finally wanted to win him back...

“Yu Qing, you know? I really like something Ye Xianglun once said. But I can no longer tell whether you’re a friend or a love I let slip away.”

“Why do you always think someone will put up with your capriciousness forever and do everything your way?”

His eyes were full of resolve. They no longer held the warmth that had once been reserved entirely for her.

“I was wrong... Ye Fan, can we go back to how things were?”

Yu Qing cried. For the first time, she dropped her princess act.

Ye Fan smiled bitterly. She could cry? For him?

“Back to how things were? What does that even mean...”

It was already over... and I no longer want to figure out whether this was friendship or love...
