In 2018, Lu Zelin firmly told Lin Wan, "The name of the person I like has 19 strokes."
Lin Wan was too clueless and miscounted the strokes in her own name.
From then on, young Lin Wan mistakenly believed that Lu Zelin liked a girl, but that girl wasn't her. Still, she couldn't bring herself to stop liking him, and so began a four-year-long secret crush.
Only Lin Wan knew how difficult and heartbreaking that unrequited love was. Countless times she wanted to stop liking Lu Zelin, but she just couldn't.
A girl's first crush is shy and untainted by material concerns. Lin Wan only wanted to see that boy often, even from afar. She never dared to get close to him or openly tell Lu Zelin how she felt.
After years of unrequited love left her full of doubts and fears, the year she finished her high school entrance exams, she decided to let go for good.
She said, "If there's a next life, I never want to have a secret crush again. I hate unrequited love. I hate constantly feeling uncertain. I never want to like you again, Lu Zelin. Goodbye, boy who lived in my heart when I was young."
But the truth was that Lu Zelin had once liked Lin Wan too.
