The day her name appeared on the confession wall, her roommate teased her, “Aurora, is the spring that’s been eighteen years late finally coming for you?”
Chen Wu had no idea whether spring had arrived.
But Huo Si’s friend request had.
.
Huo Si was just like his name: refined and gentle, the most trustworthy student council president in his classmates’ eyes.
Chen Wu thought so too.
So when Huo Si held her by the throat, Chen Wu gave him a sweet smile.
Not until the suffocating feeling drew near to despair did she see Huo Si’s eyes, red at the corners beneath his glasses, through her fading vision. He leaned down to kiss her and murmured like he was rewarding her, “Good girl.”
.
Only later did Chen Wu understand that refinement could be an act.
The year she graduated from university, she swore through drunken, blurry eyes that she would never love Huo Si again.
.
Years later, at a company banquet, the new boss took the stage to give a speech. His damp, cold gaze looked over at her from behind his glasses.
As Huo Si stepped down, Chen Wu’s phone buzzed.
In the private room, Huo Si hooked a finger around the end of her jet-black hair and gently wound it around his little finger, as familiar and intimate as he had been three years ago.
The stark black-and-white contrast stung her eyes.
“Mi gatito, long time no see,” he said.
.
Later still.
Chen Wu sat in a seat of power, looking down at Huo Si.
“Estás indefenso contra los que te gustan.”
It was the first Spanish sentence she had memorized by heart.
Chen Wu repeated it.
“You are powerless against the person you love.”
Two thousand one hundred and ninety days.
“Huo Si, I don’t love you anymore,” she said calmly.
