    My dearest Lu Zhiyan, my Zhiyan brother. Because my heart ached so much the day we parted, we didn't even have a proper goodbye. I've heard people say that longing is like the wind—boundless, able to cross mountains and seas to reach any desired destination. Gazing at the gentle evening breeze flowing outside the hospital window, I repeatedly wished that this tender wind could cross borders and reach you. Alas, my longing is silent, and countless thoughts remain unspoken; yet, thankfully, my longing is silent, so it won't become a burden binding you. How I wish the gentle breeze could brush past your ear, completing the farewell I couldn't say, softly telling you: "Goodbye, my dear Zhiyan brother."

    Unrequited love can't compare to family affection, right? She was clearly heartbroken, but hid it all with a smile. It's a heart-wrenching story of unrequited love in school. If you like someone, shouldn't you confess? She thought about it for a long time and decided to confess. A love triangle between one girl and two boys begins to break down in their senior year of high school. She's had a crush on him for a long time. A young girl's unrequited love is hard to fathom; she couldn't tell if he loved her or not. She mustered her courage to confess, but he treated it like a truth or dare game. In their senior year, they always thought about applying to the same university, hoping to protect him and prevent him from being taken away by someone else. She asked his best friend if he had someone he liked, but his best friend gave a bitter smile and said he'd find out when they got to university. Their love was about to be exposed. She felt his best friend's tenderness and care for her, and even nestled in his arms, she felt very comfortable. But he seemed to be jealous of her unrequited love. He questioned his best friend about whether he liked her, and his best friend denied it. When she finished high school and was moving her books home, both he and his best friend came to help. He offered to take their first post-graduation trip together, but because he didn't reciprocate her feelings, she angrily asked his best friend if he wanted to go on the trip too. He became even angrier seeing her and his best friend being so close. He threw a book at her, but when she opened her eyes, his best friend blocked it. She anxiously took her best friend to the school doctor. She began to question whether she truly loved someone else. She kissed him, but her heart didn't race; yet, kissing her best friend made her heart flutter. At that moment, she understood who she truly loved, but she couldn't accept the truth. She blocked him and his best friend, refusing to see either of them. But then his best friend contacted her, confessing his feelings. She was at a loss. She thought that going to university would mean she had nothing to do with them anymore, but she overheard their confessions. Everyone envied her. Her heart was in turmoil; the bittersweet feeling of unrequited love was replaced by the painful indecision. She chose to ignore it. Her most hated mother called her, saying her grandmother was hospitalized and needed money. Before she could even return home, she missed seeing her grandmother one last time. The White Rabbit milk candy her grandmother had given her was her favorite. Her beloved grandmother was gone. She hated her mother so much for making her a left-behind child. She was bullied alone in the countryside. He was the first to stand up for her when she was being bullied, and the second was his good brother. Some heartbreaks cannot be healed by love. The pain of losing a loved one was unbearable. He and his good brother comforted her. Should she choose one of them and put an end to her unrequited love?
