During the winter break of my sophomore year, while moving, I accidentally discovered that letter. It was then that I realized my feelings for Ma Boliang were not love, but rather... dependence. 0
 
I couldn't imagine what would have happened if Ma Boliang and I had gone to the same university back then. Fortunately, he didn't choose me; he chose his dreams. 0
 
I lifted my head and looked at Ma Boliang, saying earnestly, "I'm sorry, Bo Liang." 0
 
Ma Boliang was taken aback. "Why are you apologizing?" 0
 
I pressed my lips together and softly replied, "At that time, I couldn't distinguish between love and dependence. I thought I liked you, but in reality, I had just grown accustomed to your presence and treated you like family." 0
 
"And now, I understand that love is not about taking unilaterally." 0
 
"So, I'm sorry." 0
 
Ma Boliang stared at me in a daze for a long time before he smiled. He reached out to ruffle my hair affectionately and said, "Silly girl, why are you saying sorry? You will always be my dearest sister." 0
 
My nose tinged with emotion, and tears nearly fell. Ma Boliang gently tapped my head with his finger and said, "No crying; you'll look bad if you cry." 0
 
I sniffled and tried to force a smile. "I'm not crying." 0
 
"Yes, my Ahui is the strongest." 0
 
After seeing Ma Boliang off, I turned to walk back. Just as I reached the door, I saw a figure standing in the distance, not knowing how long they had been there. The cigarette held between their fingers flickered with light. 0
 
 
I weakly closed my eyes. 0
After living together for three years, I never knew that Sun Yunfei smoked. 0
I walked straight past him, pretending not to see. 0
Sun Yunfei grabbed my arm and coldly asked, "Who is he?" 0
I opened my eyes and calmly looked at him. "Ma Boliang." 0
Sun Yunfei frowned. "What is your relationship with him?" 0
I opened the door and entered the password without responding. "He's my blind date." 0
Sun Yunfei followed me in, pressing further, "Did you come back for him?" 0
I nodded. 0
"Are you planning to marry him?" 0
I nodded again. 0
Sun Yunfei gritted his teeth: 0
"What does he have that I don't? Is it that he treats you better or listens to you more?" 0
I glanced at him lightly and repeated the content of the last message: 0
"Sun Yunfei, don't ask anymore. Let's not contact each other in the future." 0
Sun Yunfei's hand tightened on my shoulder, as if he wanted to crush me. 0
"Don't contact? You think saying 'don't contact' means we won't?" 0
I met his gaze: 0
"Sun Yunfei, you and I were never meant to be." 0
Sun Yunfei was taken aback. 0
I pushed him away and sat down on the sofa, sighing. 0
"You and I are both unwilling to just date; we want a future." 0
"But there is no future for us." 0
Sun Yunfei stood still, looking down, 0
after a long silence, he quietly said, "Are you really willing to marry him?" 0
"Why wouldn't I?" I retorted, 0
"At least he doesn't make me feel disgusted." 0
 
 
Sun Yunfei suddenly looked up, his eyes reddening, staring at me in disbelief. "Disgusting?" 0
 
I smiled lightly, my tone gentle. "Sun Yunfei, we both know that this should have ended a long time ago." 0
 
"Being tired of it is just being tired of it, there’s no reason." 0
 
Sun Yunfei stared at me blankly, as if he were a statue. 0
 
I stood up and walked to the window, gazing at the overcast sky outside. "After this storm, summer will be over." 0
 
"Sun Yunfei, we both need to embrace new lives." 0
 
Sun Yunfei remained silent. Suddenly, lightning flashed outside, followed by a loud thunderclap. 0
 
The rain poured down heavily. It rained for a long time, long enough to dispel all the lingering heat of summer. 0
 
After that rain, Sun Yunfei never appeared again. 0
 
I continued with my daily life. 0
 
Until one day, as I was coming out of the supermarket with groceries in hand, a figure suddenly rushed towards me. 0
 
I was knocked to the ground, and the contents of my bag scattered everywhere. 0
 
I looked up in surprise to find that the person was—my father. 0
 
Yuhiheng. 0
 
Yuhiheng fell to his knees with a thud, tears streaming down his face. "Ahui, I'm sorry, it was my fault." 0
 
"I've changed for the better; can you forgive me?" 0
 
Passersby around us stopped to watch. 0
