    Reader note

    For 300 days, they were in a long-distance relationship. She treated him like her whole world, replying to messages instantly, chatting all night, wanting to share even the simplest of moments. But one day, he stopped replying to her messages and answering her calls, using emotional abuse to force her to leave. In the dead of night, filled with resentment, she cried and questioned him, only to be met with his cold reply: "Your dependence is a burden on my road to success." He clearly loved her to the core, yet he pushed away the one he loved most. The swing was built, the future was planned, but he left her behind, lost in the wind. This heart-wrenching story has a powerful aftertaste; you'll cry every time you read it. The regret of unrequited love is truly piercing!
