Touching love between a philandering beauty and an infatuated man

This is probably a very old and ordinary story. When he met her, he was 17, and she was 18. The summer sun was blazing, and her long hair covered her delicate face, with a pair of clear eyes peeking out from beneath the dark waterfall. Her frail body was thus revealed to him for the first time. There must be love at first sight in the world, and this was one of those times. He was ordinary in looks, ordinary in studies, and had an ordinary family, while she was not only beautiful but also had an enviable family. Even with average academic performance, entering a good university was easy for her. By a twist of fate, the two of them met. He went with her to skip classes, went with her to bars, and did all sorts of things with her. His grades worsened, and the homeroom teacher scolded him countless times, but he just smiled foolishly and said, 'Teacher, I'm not cut out for studying. After high school, I want to follow my dad to do small business.' He was always following her around, fulfilling one mission after another that she assigned to him. At that time, he didn't know this was called love. The three years of high school quickly passed by. She, arranged by her father, entered a top university, while he went to a vocational college, not venturing into business. Though they lived in the same city, they were on opposite sides. She gradually reduced contact with him, and he didn't seek her out, though he wanted to. Later he learned that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy, though he didn't go to school. That day, he dragged his ragtag friends to a barbecue stall and drank three boxes of beer. Sadly, he didn't even get drunk. He wished he could get extremely drunk and tell others that he loved her, more than anyone. If time could truly solve everything, why couldn't it reduce even a bit of the pain? Bored one day online, he read an article about Plato and realized that he could love her, but secretly without letting her know. So whenever she fought with her boyfriend and came to him, he would take a two-hour bus ride to her school to listen to her cry, comfort her back to her dorm, then take another two-hour bus back to his own school, or spend the night in an internet cafe. Finally, one day, she broke up completely with her boyfriend. She no longer cried, but sneered, saying, 'Men, there's not a single good one.' He didn't argue but silently stayed by her side. That night, she got drunk, and he carried her into a room, quietly watching her all night. The next day, she said, 'Let's date.' He said, 'Okay.' So he rented a small room near her university and stayed with her every day. Every night, he would walk her back to her dorm, then after returning to his rented place, call her to coax her to sleep and ask what she wanted for breakfast. Every morning, he woke up early, ran to all the breakfast shops, bought what she wanted, and delivered it to her dormitory. Her roommates would tease him, saying, 'The model husband is here again?' And she would just smile, holding his hand, and ride his bicycle to class. Some people, who don't belong to you, will eventually leave. When he noticed her becoming indifferent toward him, he knew he might lose her. Until that day, when he waited for her at the teaching building gate and saw her kissing another man, he turned and left. He said, 'Let's break up… I'm tired.' She said, 'Okay.'He moved back into his own school. Unlike other couples who can't become friends after breaking up, he and she still talked about everything. Maybe they had never been lovers, not even kissed. So he became her best friend again, sharing stories about her and him. One day, she calmly told him, "I'm pregnant, he doesn't want me anymore, I can't ask my dad for money." He withdrew 2,000 yuan from his card and said, "I'll go with you to get an abortion." After leaving the hospital, her face was deathly pale, leaning against his back. The winter wind cut her face like a knife. He still thought about the doctor's disdainful look and the nurses' whispered whispers at the hospital when he looked at him earlier. "What kind of man is this?" If you feel good yourself, you don't care about your girlfriend's feelings, just for... Is it really worth that ten or so yuan?! Get hit by a car and die! "The wind blew even harder, and she hugged him even tighter. He rented another room. He bought her chicken soup every day, forcing her to stay in his rented place so he could take care of her every day. A week later, her complexion was healthy, and they went out drinking again, completely drunk. He finally got drunk, smiled and kissed her forehead, saying, "I've loved you, five years." That night was a passionate night. The next morning, when he woke up, he found her already sitting by the bed, smoking. He hurriedly went to buy birth control pills, but she said, "It's okay, I'm in my safe period." They fell in love again. He took care of everything for her as he always did, while she moved into his rented apartment. Her junior year was about to end, she had another year left, and he had already graduated. They... Looking forward to the future, everything was so beautiful. He said, I want to work hard and earn a lot of money to support you. She said, as long as you are by my side, that's enough. He returned to the city center and started as a junior employee at a private company. She continued studying, and every day the two of them only talked on the phone at night, calling for two hours at a time. No matter how tired she was, he insisted on coaxing her to sleep. But their chances to meet became fewer and fewer—once a week at first, then once every six months. Everything would be fine; he was deeply liked by his supervisor, and his salary kept rising. He thought, after she graduated, they could be together forever, and he could afford to support her. Maybe distance had faded their feelings; he seemed to see the same situation as before. She gradually grew colder toward him, and he felt she was becoming more and more unfamiliar. She... On her birthday night, he came to her dorm downstairs holding a bouquet of roses, and her roommate whispered that she hadn't come back yet. After repeated questioning, he found out she had a boyfriend from another school, and that night they had gone to a hotel room. The next day, he said, let's break up. She said no, I love you. He left. She didn't cry. A few months later, he was promoted to assistant supervisor, and with some money from his parents and a bit of his own savings, he bought an apartment in the city. She graduated from university and broke up with her boyfriend again. She came to him, crying, saying, "He's good to me, but the one I love is you. I know I was wrong, but you can't leave me." He showed no expression. The two drank together in a bar for a long time, but neither got drunk. He didn't take her home, just stayed out... Checked into a room. She took off her clothes and said, "I was wrong. Let's start over, okay? Didn't you say you'd love me for a lifetime?"He took off his suit and draped it over her, smiling faintly as he said, "I love you. Whatever I do is because I want to. Even if others see me as lowly as a dog, I don't think so. I think it's worth it because I love you. You've left so many times, and here (he pointed to his heart) has already been emptied and shattered by you. I'm sorry, I no longer love you, and I won't in the future either." After saying this, he turned and walked away, without looking back.
