"I don't know if restraint is the key to happiness, but I know that indulgence is certainly not..."
This is a quote from "The Flower of Pessimism". I don't know whether she is right or wrong. Or there is no such distinction between right and wrong in this world.
My name is Lin Yi, and I want to tell my story. In fact, I am tired of this kind of beginning - telling you who and what once said, and then introducing the trivial things in my life in a pretentious manner. But the story itself is boring. If you want excitement, go to the theater—and I never act.
I have a boyfriend named Li Mingshan. Cheesy name, but I accepted it anyway, I was in love with this person, not the name. I also have an ex-boyfriend named Lan Shengling. It's a very poetic name, but I also have very little memory for him.
We broke up less than a year ago. He was my first boyfriend and my first man. I didn't have many men. I was a person who was afraid of indulgence. We have been together for almost six years and I am now 20 years old.
For the so-called people born in the 90s, it is actually a very common thing for us to start secretly being together at the age of 14. I don't regard our experience as love, we are just together. I don't see our relationship as puppy love, we are just together.
I once painted a painting for Li Mingshan, but he didn't know it. That painting is also called - together.
