My romantic life with Shen Yi felt as sweet as a beautiful dream. Every morning, he would send me a warm greeting; during lunchtime, we would steal a moment of intimacy at a small restaurant near the office; and when night fell, he always insisted on walking me home, as if I were a fragile treasure.
However, every dream has its day of awakening.
It was a sunny weekend when Shen Yi invited me to his favorite café. We had barely settled in when a tall, striking girl suddenly appeared in front of us.
"Shen Yi, long time no see!" she greeted enthusiastically, her gaze scrutinizing me with a hint of curiosity.
Shen Yi clearly hadn’t expected to run into her here; he stood up in a bit of a fluster. "Su Qing? When did you come back?"
"Just yesterday," Su Qing replied with a smile. "I wanted to surprise you, but I see you already have someone new."
My heart sank. Was this the childhood friend Shen Yi often mentioned?
Shen Yi quickly introduced us. "Su Qing, this is my girlfriend, Lin Wei. Lin Wei, this is my friend Su Qing, whom I grew up with."
Su Qing extended her hand with a sweet smile. "Hello, Lin Wei. Finally, this blockhead Shen Yi has woken up; I thought he would never find a girlfriend."
I shook her hand politely, but unease stirred within me. Not only was Su Qing stunningly beautiful, but her demeanor exuded an air of sophistication that made me feel ordinary by comparison.
In the days that followed, Su Qing seemed to be everywhere. She would occasionally show up downstairs at the office, claiming she was just passing by to see Shen Yi; during our weekend dates, she always found an excuse to join us. Each time we met, she would casually mention her past with Shen Yi—memories I had never been part of.
I began to feel insecure and anxious, fearing that Shen Yi might be reminded of his childhood feelings for her. After all, my relationship with him had initially been more of a transaction, while Su Qing was an irreplaceable part of his life.
Then one day, Su Qing asked to meet me alone.
"Lin Wei, let's talk," she said, elegantly stirring her coffee, her gaze sharp as a knife. "Your relationship with Shen Yi is nothing but a facade, isn't it?"
I was taken aback, forcing myself to remain calm. "What are you talking about?"
"Stop pretending," Su Qing sneered. "I've looked into your backgrounds. You've known each other for less than six months; how could you possibly fall in love so quickly? Besides, do you really think someone like Shen Yi would be interested in an ordinary girl like you?"
I fell silent, unsure of how to respond.
"I advise you to distance yourself from Shen Yi," Su Qing continued. "Otherwise, I will reveal your secret to everyone, including Shen Yi's parents. Do you think they would look kindly on a woman who climbed her way up through deception?"
My heart ached at the thought. If the truth came out, it would not only hurt Shen Yi's family but would also deeply disappoint my own mother. Yet if I gave up now, I couldn't bear the thought.
As I hesitated, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted, "That's enough, Su Qing."
I turned sharply to see Shen Yi standing behind us, his expression dark.
"Shen Yi, what are you doing here?" Su Qing asked in surprise.
"I followed you," Shen Yi replied coldly. "I've noticed your strange behavior lately, but I never expected you would stoop to this."
He stepped closer to me and took my hand. "Lin Wei, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Looking into his determined eyes, a warm surge of emotion filled my heart.
Shen Yi turned to Su Qing, his tone resolute. "Su Qing, whether you believe it or not, Lin Wei and I are truly in love. Even though there were some misunderstandings at first, I can now tell you with certainty that the person I love is Lin Wei, and only her."
Su Qing's face paled. "But Shen Yi, we grew up together. I thought..."
"I'm sorry, Su Qing," Shen Yi interrupted her. "You will always be an important friend to me, but that's all. I hope you can bless me and Lin Wei."
Su Qing was silent for a moment before finally forcing a smile. "I understand. I wish you both happiness." With that, she stood up and left the café.
Only then did Shen Yi turn to me, his eyes filled with regret. "Lin Wei, I'm sorry. I should have told you about Su Qing sooner. I didn't expect her to..."
I shook my head. "It's okay, I understand." Taking a deep breath, I said, "Shen Yi, there's actually something I've wanted to tell you..."
"I know," he said gently. "Our relationship did start as a misunderstanding. But Lin Wei, you have to believe that my feelings for you now are real. No matter what our relationship was before, all I want now is to be with you."
Tears of emotion welled up in my eyes. "Shen Yi, so do I."
He held me tightly. "Then let's not keep any more secrets between us, okay? Let's go meet your mother and tell her everything."
I leaned against his shoulder and nodded. Although I wasn't sure how my mother would react, I believed that as long as we faced everything together, there was no challenge we couldn't overcome.
As we stepped out of the café, the sun shone brightly. I looked at Shen Yi's profile, filled with happiness and anticipation. No matter what storms lay ahead of us, I was ready. Because I knew that true love would ultimately conquer all obstacles.
