Liking Someone Is a Wonderful Thing

Bian Zi liked Chu Ci from the moment he first saw him, all the way through university. His feelings were sincere, self-effacing, and lasting, occupying countless days and nights of his life. Some people aren't meant to be kept all to yourself, yet you can't bear to give them to anyone else. Chu Ci was the star he kept in his diary, so close he could almost touch him, yet impossibly far away. Then, by chance, the two of them crossed paths. Everyone says I'm slow to warm up, but I can be quick. For example, when bad guys are chasing me, or when you're waiting for me up ahead. “If I'd heard you play the piano sooner, would I have spared you such a long wait?” “Is it a bad thing to like someone?” “No. Liking someone is a wonderful thing.” “Then why... don't you like me?” “No, I don't dislike you. I do like you.” It may have taken too long, but it finally happened. At last, he reached the star he'd always wanted.
