She was inherently indifferent to love, and the sudden return to rationality allowed her to swiftly extricate herself from this relationship.
The grievances and discomfort caused by Wen Yihuan faded away.
When one learns to let go, many things become less significant.
However, her indifference towards the gossip about Wen Yihuan, even pretending not to know and ignoring it altogether, finally drove someone who had been waiting for her to admit her mistakes to the brink.
Especially when he heard that their mutual friend asked her what was going on between them, and she casually replied, "Oh, we broke up."
This statement infuriated Wen Yihuan.
When did he ever say they broke up? What right did she have to propose a breakup? He would not allow it; without his consent, he would not acknowledge her claim of a breakup.
In Wen Yihuan's view, everything he did—whether it was engaging in a cold war with her or flirting with other girls, deliberately spreading rumors for her to find out—ultimately boiled down to wanting her to take the initiative once and show some weakness. Why was that so difficult?
Finally, on the afternoon before winter break, he stopped her on her way home.
He had intended to clarify things with her at noon, but after waiting for a long time in that familiar corridor, he saw no sign of her.
It dawned on him that she had long since stopped taking that route.
She would rather take a longer way back to the classroom than pass through there again.
In that moment, he suddenly understood something: she had truly made up her mind.
When he stopped her, she was accompanied by someone—Zhou Jiajia. Zhou Jiajia forbade him from speaking to Shu Ran and even stood in front of him to block their meeting.
In the end, Shu Ran tugged at Zhou Jiajia's sleeve and shook her head at her.
Zhou Jiajia turned around, looking at her in confusion, before reluctantly stepping aside, sensibly leaving space for the two of them.
Wen Yihuan had an inexplicable feeling that Shu Ran had forgiven him and that she was no longer angry. So he rushed forward, wanting to embrace her, but unexpectedly, Shu Ran slightly stepped back, clearly showing her resistance.
"Just stand there," Shu Ran said expressionlessly, her voice cold and distant, completely devoid of the affection they had shared before.
"Wen Yihuan!" he disregarded her words and insisted on grabbing her hand to prevent her from retreating.
Shu Ran hurriedly waved her hand to break free, her tone a bit anxious as she stopped him from moving further. "Wait, just listen to me first."
Wen Yihuan was too agitated to hear what she had to say. He tightly grasped her slender arms and shouted, "What are you going to say? That you want to break up, right? Let me tell you, Shu Ran, that's impossible! I will never agree to a breakup! My relationship with Xin Zi was just a fling; everything I did was just to make you angry."
"You always focus on studying; all you think about is your studies. You never pay attention to me. Is this still a relationship? Or is it just a one-man show from start to finish?"
After the initial excitement of their romance faded, everything seemed too bland. He couldn't stand that she was always studying without considering his feelings, while she felt he was always making a fuss over nothing.
He couldn't understand her and didn't want to. He expressed his dissatisfaction with her in his own way by getting angry but never thought about making even the slightest change for her.
Shu Ran winced in pain from his grip and couldn't help but frown as she scolded him, "Wen Yihuan, if you don't let go, I'm going to get angry."
Taking a deep breath, she said to him, "The main reason for our breakup has never been anyone else; it's because of us. There's not enough trust, not enough compatibility, not enough maturity."
He simply didn't trust her. She had never accepted gifts from others; he was the only exception. How could he not understand what she meant by this?
Secondly, they were simply not suited for each other, Shu Ran said, "I thought love should be built on understanding. Everyone has things they need to do, things they must do. It's impossible for two people to always stick together without doing anything else. You do what you want to do, and I do what I want to do, and we understand and respect each other, but we can't achieve that."
He was too clingy, while she was too independent.
Both of them had stubborn tempers and sometimes were unwilling to give in to each other or show weakness first.
How could such a love possibly last?
They were both immature and had yet to learn how to love someone, how to accept their flaws, and how to change them.
She lacked patience for love, or perhaps she just didn't love enough, which made her seem slow and indifferent in this relationship. Wen Yihuan was more impulsive and couldn't stand her leisurely attitude every day. Unable to decipher her thoughts, he naturally felt unhappy and always wanted to do something to grab her attention.
Both of them were too inexperienced and childish.
Perhaps they were the right people but met at the wrong time.
Maybe if he were a bit more mature and she a bit gentler, the outcome would be different.
Wen Yihuan denied it, saying, "We can make it work as long as we love each other enough..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Shu Ran interrupted him. She shook her head and said, "It's not like that; it doesn't matter how deep the love is. It's about us; in the end, we love ourselves the most. We have never considered each other's feelings and have never truly been willing to make sacrifices for one another."
Both of them were selfish.
She always focused on her own things and was unwilling to take time to spend with him.
He always overthinks and never tries to understand or believe her.
"We're not suitable."
"Wen Yihuan, I'm sorry."
"Let's break up."
Love only requires the heartfelt confession of two people to be together, but being together requires the patience and adjustment of both.
When did Shu Ran's patience run out? Perhaps it was when he inexplicably lost his temper during her busy times, engaging in cold wars and acting childish.
Maybe it was when she tried to give him the so-called sense of security, comforting him every few days.
Or perhaps it was when she was at her saddest, and he was being ambiguous with another girl, entangled in confusion.
They claimed to love each other while doing things that hurt one another.
Such love will ultimately lead to mutual destruction.
So, let's end it here.
