Tomato version
I have been chasing crush for five years but was rejected. After I stopped chasing him, he broke through the defense.
Advanced version
Others only saw her being rejected, but they didn't know that it was she who had the final say in setting and lifting the anchor.
Official version
Jiang Yanying fell in love with Zhang Yiheng at first sight and pursued him diligently. When she confessed her love to him for the first time and was rejected, instead of getting angry, she became more frustrated and courageous. She also threatened that she would continue to pursue him and confess her love three times. If she was rejected for the third time, she would give up completely.
This threat was an anchor thrown into Zhang Yiheng's heart.
Dropping an anchor means that the ship will be anchored at sea.
She took the lead and anchored herself so firmly that no one could shake it.
Over time, Zhang Yiheng got used to having this anchor rooted in his heart, and also getting used to this ship being anchored in his heart.
He has been waiting for her third confession.
The result was, "I'm sorry, that was just a harmless joke, there won't be a third confession."
In fact, Jiang Yanying suddenly understood after her second confession was rejected, "Because a man with brains will not marry a lovable woman."
She said there would be a third time, but she knew in her heart that there wouldn't be another time. The third time was just to tease him.
