You're My Aesthetic Bullseye

[Marriage-Free Editor * Sweet on the Outside, Dark on the Inside Wandering Singer]

She met Lu Ming on a brilliantly sunny day, something rarely seen in the mountain city.

The young man lazily strummed his guitar. His clear, bright singing was like a bird fluttering into her heart.

1.

Yu Ying was a workaholic. Her life's goals were to earn as much money as possible and retire as early as possible.

So she hadn't dated for a long time.

Dating took time, money, and effort.

Most importantly, she didn't want to be responsible for someone until the end.

The day she met Lu Ming was a beautiful, sunny day.

The young street performer sang with a lazy lilt, his gaze pure and clear, as if he held the heat of an entire summer. He was impossibly handsome.

Their eyes met, and their expressions were different.

Then the young man smiled and said, "Sis, this song is called 'One Glance.' It means a love that lasts for eternity, sparked by a single look."

His beauty made Yu Ying's head spin in that moment.

She thought, So it really is love at first sight.

2.

Later, Yu Ying took the young man, who had nowhere else to go, home with her.

He could do everything from laundry to cooking, was obedient and considerate, and managed to cheer Yu Ying up every day.

They were still and lively, cool and warm, perfectly complementing each other.

Lu Ming thought: We're a match made in heaven, so naturally we should grow old together.

So he set up a gathering and confessed his feelings, hoping to take her hand and walk forward with her forever.

But at last, he realized that what lay between them was a mismatch between idealism and romanticism, different views on marriage and love, and unclear standards for maturity and childishness.

So he chose to first become a better version of himself.

Only then could he stand beside her as her equal.

Only by loving himself first could he truly understand how to love her.
