Wang Zhan was silent for a long time before he spoke. 0
"I'm not with Marin like you think." 0
"What do you mean by that?" 0
"We..." 0
He paused. 0
"There are no inappropriate actions between us." 0
"So what?" 0
"So..." 0
He looked at me. 0
"Are you just trying to provoke me?" 0
"No." 0
I shook my head. 0
"I finally understand a fact." 0
"What fact?" 0
"You won't choose me." 0
His face turned pale: "I..." 0
"In the future, I won't cling to you or try to provoke you anymore." 0
"I..." 0
He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words. 0
I smiled lightly: "You're free now, isn't that good?" 0
"I..." 0
His eyes turned red: "I'm not..." 0
I stood up: "I'm going back to my room." 0
I turned and walked toward my room. 0
In the drawer, I found a hairpin. 0
It was a light purple hairpin that Wang Zhan had given me when I was seventeen. 0
That summer, Wang Zhan and I spent almost every day together. 0
But after school started, I saw him kissing a girl. 0
That girl was wearing a light purple hairpin. 0
I silently put the hairpin away and never wore it again. 0
I finally understood that no matter what happened with Marin, he would never choose me. 0
On the last day of the vacation, Ma Jia called me out. 0
"I have something to tell you." 0
"What is it?" 0
"Do you want to hear it?" 0
 
 
"You speak." 0
"I was with Wang Zhan. The shop was too busy during that time, so we stayed together." 0
"Mm." 0
"Marin did come to find me." 0
"Mm." 0
"But she was looking for me, not Wang Zhan." 0
"What?" 0
"They were in the room that day and didn't do anything." 0
"So?" 0
"So, you misunderstood." 0
"What does it matter?" 0
"You..." 0
Ma Jia sighed. 0
"Wang Zhan likes you." 0
"He's a man and has his pride. If you keep giving him the cold shoulder, he won't have the courage to reach out to you." 0
"He has been feeling really down these days." 0
"You should go see him." 0
I walked out in silence. 0
Outside the milk tea shop, I saw Wang Zhan. 0
He looked at me quietly, his expression calm. 0
Wang Zhan and I are both rational and self-aware people. 0
We have never made an effort to pursue anything. 0
Our lives flow naturally, and everything comes easily. 0
I thought that after what happened last time, Wang Zhan would no longer pay attention to me. 0
But since I returned from my hometown, Wang Zhan has not been well. 0
He was sick for two days. 0
He even tried to cook seafood porridge himself and ended up burning himself. 0
Ma Jia said he stood in the kitchen for a long time. 0
I understood what she meant. 0
Wang Zhan has feelings for me deep down; it's just that he needs more time to adjust to life without me. 0
I focused on myself. 0
Xu Zheng made me feel cared for and loved. 0
He made me realize that there are people who care about my well-being more than I do. 0
 
 
Since being with Xu Zheng, I have never felt wronged again. Even when walking by the river, I feel the air is sweet. 0
 
"What's wrong?" Xu Zheng asked me. 0
 
"Nothing much," I blinked. 0
 
"You seem very used to taking care of others." 0
 
"Do I?" 0
 
"You do." He nodded. 0
 
"In your heart, what kind of person am I?" 0
 
"Very smart, very gentle, and also good at taking care of people." 0
 
"Is that all?" 0
 
"And..." He smiled at me. 0
 
"What else?" 0
 
"You love me very much." 0
 
"You're a bit narcissistic." 0
 
"Isn't that true?" 0
 
"At least in front of me, you don't need to be like that." 0
 
"Huh?" 0
 
"I will take care of you." 0
 
"Okay." I nodded. 0
 
"Promise to follow through." 0
 
"Okay." 0
 
"Promise to follow through." 0
 
"Mm, promise to follow through." I smiled and hugged him. 0
