You're So Hard to Pursue

The first time Wei Xiao saw Zhou Yining, a girl was blocking his way to confess to him.

The man curled his lips slightly. The warm yellow streetlight fell on him, but he still seemed cold and distant. She watched him smile warmly and say, "Well... I'm gay. I like men."

Later, Wei Xiao pursued Zhou Yining for a year and a half, only to be gently rejected countless times with those same words. When she decided to give up, she lowered her head and scoffed at herself. "I know. You like men." She turned away, holding back tears, but the man caught her by the wrist. Slowly lifting his eyes to meet hers, he said, "Then why don't you make me straight?"

Wei Xiao did. Zhou Yining went straight.

Wei Xiao had always thought she could be the one to change Zhou Yining. She never imagined that not only would she fail to change him, but she would also be the one he played for a fool and led around in circles.

The day they broke up, rain poured down in torrents.

They stood together beneath the dark veil of rain.

The dense raindrops pelted them. Wei Xiao pulled away from his hand. "Don't touch me. You're disgusting."

"You think it's disgusting when I touch you?" The next second, he bit her lip, the metallic taste of blood spreading between them. Their bodies drew close in an instant. He gripped her chin and sneered. "When you were chasing me, why weren't you disgusted?"

The instant those words fell, a slap landed across his face.

Zhou Yining's face turned slightly to the side from the blow. Rain ran down his cheek as he licked the corner of his mouth. "Wei Xiao, you were the one who pursued me first."

Wei Xiao sneered, eyes red as she stared at him and said each word clearly. "And I was the one who stopped wanting you."

Everyone thought Zhou Yining had spent his whole life chasing pleasure and living recklessly, but no one knew that there was a time when he trembled, clung desperately to a woman, and lowered his head to say, "I'm sorry."
