Nan Zhi has loved Zhou Chengyue for four years.
After graduation, she knew full well that one reason she had chosen that city was because of him, but she still stubbornly insisted, "The salary's eight hundred yuan higher. What's wrong with changing jobs for eight hundred yuan?"
The two companies were separated by just one pedestrian overpass.
She still waited for him to finish work, secretly delighted when he remembered she didn't eat cilantro, and waited for an answer whenever someone asked what kind of relationship they had.
But Zhou Chengyue always said, "We were college classmates. We're very close."
Until Nan Zhi heard him say with her own ears:
"She's done too much for me. I can't repay her."
Suddenly, she didn't want to keep chasing him.
"You don't have to repay me."
"I won't wait for you anymore, either."
From that day on, she stopped arranging her life around his schedule, stopped replying to his messages right away, and stopped crossing that overpass.
But Zhou Chengyue was the one who started to panic.
Once, she waited for him. Now, he was the one waiting for her.
Once, she chased after him. Then he finally asked:
"Can I be the one to chase you this time?"
But Nan Zhi had already turned her gaze to someone else.
Wen Si had seen her at her most miserable.
When she forced a smile, all he said was, "You're off work. You don't have to put on a show."
Later, Zhou Chengyue asked Wen Si, "What makes you think she'll choose you?"
Wen Si replied calmly:
"You're asking the wrong person."
"Ask her who she'll choose."
