Jing Rao, from the physics department at A University, was known for being completely detached from worldly concerns.
He was hard to pursue and impossible to deal with.
Wen Li had secretly liked him ever since the summer of her first year of high school. After getting into the university she had chosen with him in mind, she worked up the courage to pursue him.
She chased him for three years and confessed nine times, only to be rejected every time.
Once again, she wrote one last love letter and went to him to confess: "Could you please like me?"
Jing Rao took the letter, glanced at her, and said nothing. He turned, tossed it into the trash, and left.
Later, Wen Li stopped liking him.
Years later, Wen Li ran into Jing Rao by chance at Erhai Lake, then again at the Potala Palace.
She turned to the man who had been following her the whole way. "You've been following me. Was this another chance encounter?"
Jing Rao said, "It was never a chance encounter."
Wen Li looked at him in silence.
"I came for you." He met her gaze and asked, "Is it too late for me to be the one who loves you this time?"

The more I like you, the more I will love you.
The days when I can't love you are so unbearably hard.
