Li Wan once carefully harbored a secret crush on someone. He was so dazzling, the center of everyone's conversations and a rare genius in the eyes of his teachers.
In their second year of high school, he wrote out the steps to a math problem in her draft notebook. She kept that sheet of scrap paper for many years.
She thought that once the college entrance exams were over, they would never cross paths again.
The crush would gradually fade with her memories, becoming a specimen of youth she would look back on in her old age.
She never imagined her feelings would be returned, until Zhou Jiye confessed to her on the day the exams ended.
She felt as if she'd hit the jackpot. Her happiness seemed too unreal to be true.
That day, she was so excited she posted ten consecutive Moments updates, all photos of her and Zhou Jiye holding hands.
But the truth is often cruel. Only later did she learn that Zhou Jiye had gotten together with her because of a bet.
No wonder she had never felt his affection in all the three years they were together.
She asked to break up, and Zhou Jiye, just as expected, didn't try to stop her.
On the day they broke up, she posted a line from a song on Moments.
"You thought love meant being loved
You squandered my adoration."
Through all those days and nights spent chasing after him, during the disheveled, miserable days of the college entrance exams, he had been the only splash of color in her dull, monotonous life.
Now the illusion had shattered. It turned out he was nothing special after all.
After graduation, she went abroad to study and had a normal relationship.
Her boyfriend was a good person, gentle and considerate. Like her, he came from an ordinary family and worked while studying.
On the day they decided to move in together, her boyfriend came over to help her move.
She had quite a lot of things, so her boyfriend called his older brother to help.
She hadn't expected to meet his family so soon and felt a little nervous. She dressed up a bit, hoping to make a good impression.
The doorbell rang, and she hurried to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, it felt as if she'd been struck in the head. She thought she was hallucinating.
She had actually seen Zhou Jiye.
Before she could react, she heard her boyfriend call Zhou Jiye "Brother."
