He and the Starlight Are Blameless

#What I called loving you was only a secret crush from my youth that never came to anything#

Everyone thought Li Xing and Su Xing were destined to be together. Li Xing thought so too.

Until the night before the college entrance exam, when Su Xing boarded a plane abroad without a word.

As she angrily demanded answers over the phone, the boy's voice was cool and indifferent: "Li Xing, who do you think you are to me?"

On the day Su Xing returned to China, Li Xing came to interview him with her camera.

When they talked about funny memories from high school, Su Xing looked at the woman across from him, who had worn a professional smile from the very beginning. His voice was as cool as ever. "Don't you already know?"

Li Xing replied in a formal tone, "I'm sorry, Professor Su. I've forgotten most of it."

After the interview, Su Xing watched helplessly as Li Xing smiled brightly and threw herself into another man's arms.

For a moment, Su Xing felt dazed. It was as if he'd lost his star.

On the day Li Xing got engaged, Su Xing drank himself into a stupor at a bar.

A passerby took pity on him and asked if he remembered the contact information of any friends or family.

Almost instinctively, Su Xing recited a phone number, then heard Li Xing's voice on the other end, cold enough to cut to the bone.

"Su Xing, who do you think you are to me?"

He once pursued the moon with all his might, letting the star behind him fall.

By the time he turned back with the moon, the star already belonged to someone else.
