Goodbye

They met in their third year of middle school.

Later, all that remained was a two-character text message: "Goodbye."

Yu Xi learned from her mother that Chen Ruoying had changed her school preferences.

Unable to believe it, Yu Xi tried to find out where she had gone, but no one would answer.

After entering university, the campus overflowed with youthful energy, but Chen Ruoying was nowhere to be seen.

In her second year, Yu Xi was inexplicably targeted by an online hate campaign, and the school pressured her to withdraw.

Only later did she learn that Chen Ruoying had gone abroad to study. By then, Yu Xi no longer cared what had become of her.

They were apart for four years. When they finally met again, Chen Ruoying was shining brightly onstage.

Yu Xi had gained some recognition herself, but still not as much as Chen Ruoying.

Yu Xi assumed the other woman had long since forgotten her. Little did she know that Chen Ruoying had never forgotten her.

Just like this time: even while standing onstage, she was secretly watching Yu Xi with great care.

As she gazed at her profile, the corners of her mouth lifted involuntarily, yet a bittersweet ache rose in her heart.
