Mist and Light

The first time Lin Zhaoran met Shen Mingyuan was in the company's printing room. He asked "Do you want to print?" With a light in his eyes. Later he offered water, he peeked, he went back to help, he drank a second cup of coffee. She thought it was a heartbeat, but he didn't know that it was crossing the line. She is the one who takes the initiative to approach. It was true that the two of them had a happy time, but it was also true that he had a girlfriend. It wasn't until she tested her for the last time with a "weekend test drive" that he sent a long text: "I have a girlfriend. But on weekdays, you can still drink coffee." At that moment, she finally understood - the approach of some people is light; the approach of some people is fog. She didn't cry or fuss. He only replied: "If I had a boyfriend, I would never agree to drink coffee with the opposite sex. Just work together well in the future." This is a story about "dare or not" - dare to take the initiative, dare to admit, dare to choose, dare to take responsibility. It is also a story about every girl who has guessed, waited, been hurt in the ambiguity, and finally left soberly. Later she realized that the best thing in life is not to wait for someone's light, but to walk and discover that you are the light. The full text consists of twelve chapters. From the three dimensions of the female protagonist's perspective, the male protagonist's monologue, and the girlfriend's perspective, it presents a relationship that seems warm but is actually illusory. Those coffees, those stares, those laughs, those tears - they were all real. Those concealments, those silences, those "okay" - they are all true too. When the fog clears, some people remain in the fog and some become the light. Intention: About "dare or not" - dare to love, dare to choose, dare to take responsibility, dare to be one's own light. There are two types of relationships in this world: one is a "loving relationship" and the other is a "so-called relationship." A loving relationship is about daring. Dare to like, dare to admit, dare to choose, dare to take responsibility. It's him who holds your hand in the sunshine, it's him who answers honestly when you ask "do you have a girlfriend?" It's him who is willing to break his own habits for your feelings. The so-called relationship is hiding. It's him who stares at you but doesn't dare to ask for you, it's him who drinks coffee with you but doesn't dare to admit it, it's him who chats late at night but doesn't dare to take responsibility, it's him who accepts your love but doesn't dare tell you - I have a girlfriend. Lin Zhaoran chose the former. She takes the initiative, is sincere, approaches, retreats, and leaves. Every step is dignified. Shen Mingyuan chose the latter. He is excited, conceals, enjoys, hesitates, and remains silent. He has been living in the fog and dare not step into the light. Wang Min, on the other hand, chose to pretend not to know. She knows, but she doesn't ask; she sees, but she doesn't tell. Like him, she lives in a "so-called relationship." What this story wants to say is: You don't have to wait for someone to illuminate. As you walk, you will discover that you are the light. To all the girls who have taken the initiative to approach, sincerely liked, and left soberly. To all those who have hesitated, doubted, and finally left in the so-called relationship. To all those who are still in the fog: the light will not wait for you forever
