Yin Yinyin liked Li Ruo for three years, only to hear Li Ruo say, “It only counts as liking someone when you’re in the mood.”
How ridiculous.
The person who once said she liked her was too stingy even to reach out a hand.
Yin Yinyin knew all too well that Li Ruo didn’t like her.
So she played along, again and again...
Li Ruo held another woman and kissed her suggestively. Yin Yinyin pretended not to know.
Li Ruo called someone else “darling,” acting all cute and coy. Yin Yinyin pretended not to see.
Even when Li Ruo got angry with her and threatened to break up, she pretended not to care.
Until one day, Li Ruo asked her with red-rimmed eyes, “Do you really not like me at all?”
Yin Yinyin smiled.
“Li Ruo,” she said softly, “you were the first one to stop loving me. You have no right to ask that.”
“We never even held hands. That’s not love.”
“Let alone hugging or kissing.”
#You were the first to fall in love, and the first to run away
#I only stayed to see you finish this act

She thinks she’s running away, but every step lands in the net I’ve laid for her.
