Three years after graduating from university, Chu Zhibai was asked by a classmate if she still missed him.
Chu Zhibai: "No."
Her classmate was taken aback. "I haven't even said who I mean."
Chu Zhibai answered without changing expression: "He's gone. Whoever you're talking about, it doesn't matter."
Later, her boss sent her to do an interview, and she happened to run into that person.
She adjusted her expression and walked over to greet him, pretending to be perfectly casual.
Chen Xuan glanced at Chu Zhibai and said coolly, "Didn't you say I was gone?"
Chu Zhibai: ???
How had she never realized he was so vengeful?
Pretending to be over it * Actually holding a grudge
Chu Zhibai had always believed Chen Xuan got together with her because she looked like his first love.
Years later, when they met again, he gave her a book along with the fountain pen he returned to her.
She opened the page folded over at the corner and found a line written in vivid red ink:
"You are unlike anyone."
And just within view was the rest of the line:
Because I love you.
"You are unlike anyone because I love you." - Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair
Theme: Never lose hope in life.
