Qin Shi and I grew up together. We've had more arguments than I can count, big and small. He's so awful, so why do I like him? I don't know. It feels like something I was born with. After a misunderstanding, I ran far away from him, hoping to start over and leave my feelings behind. But because of another misunderstanding, I had no choice but to live with him. The worst part is that after all that time apart, my feelings for him only grew stronger. I'm like an addict, greedily wanting to get closer to him again and again, yet afraid to let him know how I feel. I'm scared that if he finds out, we'll be close enough to touch yet worlds apart. So I speak to him insincerely, hiding my real expressions and true feelings. It's not that I haven't thought about telling him how I feel, but the stakes are too high. I don't want to be left with nothing to say when we meet, forced to make awkward small talk. Like an ostrich, I keep burying my head lower and lower, until suddenly a pair of hands yanks me out. Is it you, Qin Shi? Do you know how I feel? Do you know even though I never say it?
