After I Gave Up Being a Doormat

Si Dai loved Yan Ziyu for ten years, from the age of eighteen to twenty-eight. In the end, all she got was one sentence. "I'm sorry. She's pregnant." People always said she was foolish. She never believed them, until the very end, when she realized they were right. She was foolish enough to think that the sincerity in her heart could move Yan Ziyu. In the end, she lost completely. . Everyone at the company knew that Si Dai was exceptionally capable and decisive. But whenever Yan Ziyu was involved, all her composure and restraint fell apart. So when news of their breakup spread through the company, no one believed it. After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes how Si Dai had braved a bitterly cold night and walked step by step through a heavy snowfall to deliver documents to Yan Ziyu. All because of one thing Yan Ziyu had said, she had spent a week with a high fever. No one thought that someone so deeply in love would truly give up. Until they noticed that Si Dai, who had always kept to herself, now had a shadow following closely at her heels. The company's new intern. . Meeting An Nan was pure coincidence, and at first Si Dai paid him no mind. She let him intern at the company simply because his field of study was relevant. In Si Dai's eyes, this young man was delicate-looking and shy. A few words from her were enough to make the tips of his ears turn red. He was so easy to tease. She took notice of him again after hearing that he had a very cute, goofy rabbit named Dudu. At first, Si Dai was only interested in his rabbit. But one midsummer night, the young man stood beneath her apartment building, eyes red, his voice trembling as he said, "Dudu... Dudu isn't going to make it..." Stars filled the quiet night sky. The dim yellow streetlights and the starlight above fell on the young man, illuminating the tears at the corners of his eyes and his sorrowful expression. He looked all the more pitiful. Si Dai gazed at him silently for a long while, then finally reached out and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of his eye. "There, there. Dudu will be fine." She soothed him in a gentle voice. But a thought surfaced in her heart: With his eyes all red, he looked just like Dudu, who loved acting spoiled in her arms.
