1. A few days after breaking up, he regretted it and started looking for topics to text her, but her replies were always cold or she didn't respond at all. He was so sad, staring at the phone screen, thinking that love could be forgotten so easily, while he didn't know that she, looking at the phone screen with tears in her eyes, deleted a long message she had just typed.
2. The boy had secretly liked the girl for a long time. She won an award in a competition, and he awkwardly and shyly congratulated her. He intentionally made a mistake on a question just to be in the same class as her again. Years later, the boy became handsome and cheerful, the girl graceful and poised. At some moment, she also felt her heart stir, holding onto that innocence until now. After going in circles and confessing her love to him, she was met with a cold refusal: "I once loved you with all my youth, but now I no longer have the obsession to be together." Anyone can say they love you, but not everyone will wait for you.
3. She asked him what kind of girl he liked. "Not gentle and generous, at least understanding," he said. She looked at him and quietly said, "I am not." "Mm, I know, so I don't like you," he turned away and continued doing his own thing. She stared at his back for a long time, then continued, "But I like you." He turned around and smiled brightly. [It's not really about what kind of girl I like, but what kind of girl I like is what matters.]
4. He grabbed her: "Running out in such heavy rain, come back to me." She pouted at him: "Honey, it's okay, I like getting wet in the rain…" He smiled mischievously: "Since you called me honey… (didn't finish)" She: "Does that mean you'll let me get wet in the rain?" He: "Since you like it, I'll go with you…" [Being with you makes everything fine.]
5. He was disgusted by her always taking a go-with-the-flow approach to everything. "You mean you don't want me, right?"She bit her lip and asked him. He shrugged indifferently, 'So what?' After a long time, she smiled, 'If you don't want me, then I want you.' He looked up, overwhelmed with emotion, making his heart ache a little. [If you could stop being so stubborn, even the smallest details would move me.] 6. She doesn't have a sense of taste, but her dream is to be a chef. She loves cooking for him, really loves it. She likes his satisfied look after every meal, and then she happily takes the dishes to wash. Today she invited him and his friends over, and he agreed readily. As usual, she wanted to wash the dishes but noticed the fruit hadn't been taken out. She walked to the door and froze. 'Hey bro, got water? It's way too damn salty, I've acted really well.' The fruit plate fell to the ground, and they all turned at once. His friend awkwardly tried to explain, but she ran over and hugged him, 'Why didn't you tell me?' He caressingly ruffled her hair, 'If I told you, who would cook for me?' [Who says to win a man's heart you have to win his stomach? Actually, win his heart and you'll win his stomach.] 8. She looked at the lunchboxes on her desk every day and sighed helplessly; how great it would be if he brought them. He saw the chocolates on his desk every day and casually threw them in the trash; how great it would be if she gave them. Until one day, they arrived at school early with the same idea. He froze when he saw her holding chocolates, and her heart skipped when she saw him with the lunchbox. [So you've always been by my side.] 9. That year he was 15, she was 14. They carved a promise on a small tree. He wrote: 'I will love you like this.' She carved underneath: 'I'll never leave you.' Later they grew up, naturally broke up, and naturally married separately. The tree grew tall; the old promises were on separate sides. One side read: 'Just like this, for a lifetime.' The other: 'Love you, leave you.' A branch grew where the character 'not' was carved, with red flowers at the tip. (Sometimes, promises can help you tell a lie.) 10. In elementary school, he said, 'I like you.' She smiled and replied, 'We're too young now, let's talk after middle school.' In middle school, he said, 'I like you, can you accept me now?' She looked at him helplessly and replied, 'Study hard for the entrance exam, let's talk in high school.'High school, he said, high school now, can you accept me? She was happy, secretly pleased, with a hint of... hmm, university now, this is the crucial moment. In university, fate's trickery didn't allow him to attend university with the one he deeply loved. Years later, the two met again; she was even more beautiful and mature, but carried an aura that was hard to approach. He smiled helplessly, brushed past her, and at the moment he turned around, she looked back, unwilling in her heart; why didn't you ask me if I would accept you? {Darling, do you still remember the story back then?} 11. In junior high, they met, got to know each other, fell in love, and started dating. They dreamed of a beautiful future, they longed for that happiness, continuously, until high school, when they parted due to academic performance. The girl was disappointed, and the boy was very sad. One day, the girl told the boy she wanted to break up; the boy didn't try to stop her. Many years passed again; by then the boy had changed greatly. He got into a prestigious university, but the girl hadn't been able to maintain her good grades for long. By fate's arrangement, they met; he had already become a big boss, and she went to his company for an interview. When they saw each other, he was stunned, she was shocked; helpless, she smiled without speaking. He stepped forward and gently hugged her, saying, "Now I can study well. Can we go back to junior high?" She smiled brightly, yet her eyes clearly held tears. {For your change, I don't even know how astonishing I am myself.} 12. He wrote 'I love you' with his own blood to pursue the girl he loved. Sometimes the blood would dry while writing, so he kept cutting the same spot on his finger. When 'I love you' was finally written, his index finger was already too painful to look at. This incident spread widely; the girl was helpless and said nothing. But the boy regretted it, realizing that this action did not make the girl accept him; instead, his beloved girl became the subject of public discussion. He changed schools, only telling the girl that he loved her. By the time the girl understood, it was too late; she hated, she was angry, why hadn't she realized his heart back then? But she could never find the face of the person she once knew. {Why do you leave me just when I fall in love with you} 13. After many years of marriage, he always slept in the middle of the bed. She, wanting him to sleep better, would always shrink to the edge. After years like this, sometimes she felt a bit wronged. Until one day, she almost fell off and finally burst out: "Why do you always sleep in the middle of the bed when it's meant for two? I've given way to you for so long, how long am I supposed to do it?" He looked at her with a wronged expression: "You always sleep so far away, I just wanted to be a little closer to you." 14. Returning to their hometown was quite rushed, and the dishes were left soaking in the sink without washing. 一 week later, when returning home, the dishes from a week ago were still peacefully lying in the water. It was summer, yet they didn't smell at all. The husband, in the middle of playing a game, slowly looked up, and proudly said to his wife: "Of course! I change the water every day!" 15. They worked in the same company, and the boy had liked the girl for a long time. But he never gathered the courage to confess, always afraid of being rejected by her. A year later, the girl was about to get married. The day before her wedding, the boy got drunk alone, crying while calling her: "I like you, I've liked you for a whole year!" The girl remained silent, then hung up. Soon after, he received a text: "I waited for you for a whole year." 16. She had a crush on him. One day he said to her, "I just got a new girlfriend." In an instant, her heart sank, a sense of loss swept over her, and she walked quietly without saying a word. He glanced at her, then took out a photo and handed it to her. He said, "Look, this is my girlfriend." She was about to push away the photo in his hand, but suddenly she laughed. It turned out to be the selfie she had posted on Weibo yesterday.17.
She and he finally got married with great difficulty.
She was cooking when he suddenly hugged her from behind and said, "Honey, let's get a divorce."
She was stunned for a minute, then turned to him with a smile and said, "Okay."
Then, they married for no reason and separated for no reason.
The man never married again, and the woman never remarried.
Ten years later,
Man: "Are you still... okay?"
Woman: "Everything is fine."
Woman: "You should be doing well."
Man: "I'm not doing well at all. I'm sorry."
The girl smiled: "You finally are willing to bow your head."
[He loved joking and also cared about his pride. She said 'okay' to everything he said. Stubbornness caused their love to miss ten years of time.]
18.
I asked him, "Which number am I in your relationships?"
He jokingly said, "Let me count. Oh no, I can't count with my hands anymore."
I asked again. This time he said, "Eleventh." I stayed silent.
He asked sadly, "Does the past really matter so much? You are my present, my future."
I smiled at him: "It doesn't matter. But still, I want to selfishly possess your past. If possible, I selfishly want to be your only for this life."
