"Su Ge, what do you think about gay people...?"
"Huh? Gay people? If you ask me, disgusting things like that shouldn't exist in this world."
"What? Are you gay?"
"N-no, I was just asking... How could I possibly be a disgusting gay person...?"
And so, fourteen-year-old Le Shiyu gave up on confessing.
How long can a secret crush last?
If you asked ten-year-old Le Shiyu, he would answer without hesitation, "For a very, very long time."
But Le Shiyu was already sixteen. He could no longer be as certain as he had been six years ago.
Chasing someone who never looks back is like a moth flying into a flame, bringing about your own destruction.
A heart fluttering at ten, cautious probing at fourteen,
and finally, letting go with quiet indifference at sixteen.
Su Chang'an, I won't chase after you anymore. Are you happy now?
