1. Xu Ying had been secretly in love with Wen Yuan for years. After a year of flirtation, she finally summoned the courage to confess, only to be rejected by Wen Yuan, who said, "I only think of you as a little sister."
The next day, Wen Yuan invited Xu Ying to meet up and announced that he was taken.
His new girlfriend was dazzling and elegant, utterly unlike the cool and reserved Xu Ying.
From then on, Xu Ying's heart turned to ash.
2. Later, at Xu Ying's birthday party, Wen Yuan came crawling back. He had grown enamored of her considerate, sweet, quiet, and undemanding nature, and planned to publicly propose to her.
But just as Wen Yuan stood there full of confidence, roses in hand, about to appear before Xu Ying, he saw her in a red dress, standing before Mu Tingzhi, the president of Shengda Entertainment, confident and resolute. She loudly asked, "Mu Tingzhi, I heard you want to marry me?" Her smile was radiant and bold, captivating everyone around her.
Wen Yuan had once said that someone like Xu Ying was just the girl next door, and that as a girlfriend, she would surely be dull and boring.
Only then did he realize that Xu Ying wasn't dull. He'd simply been blinded by his own stupidity.
Bonus scene:
Several months after Xu Ying's confession was rejected, she ran into Wen Yuan at a dinner gathering.
After several rounds of drinks, only she and Mu Tingzhi remained.
Remembering her years of secret love, Xu Ying, overcome by drunkenness, couldn't help tearing up. She sobbed softly, "My unrequited love has ultimately come to nothing."
Mu Tingzhi wiped away her tears. He didn't answer, but his gaze was deep and his resolve unwavering: My unrequited love will surely blossom and bear fruit.
