The time had come for Yu Nian to go to the market with Luo Sheng as agreed. The thought of going out to play made Yu Nian's depression dissipate a lot.

The next day on the bus, Luo Sheng sat next to Yu Nian, playing the guitar and singing a very warm love song.

A gentle male voice came from beside her ear, the slow tone like a whispered love confession, which was particularly moving. Yu Nian listened and became somewhat intoxicated.

After Luo Sheng finished singing, everyone in the car cheered and applauded, chanting, "One more song!" Even Yu Nian joined in the clapping and cheering.

Luo Sheng shook his head and coughed a few times to signal everyone to quiet down.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and Luo Sheng's clear and powerful voice reached everyone's ears.

"I'm not singing anymore. This song is for someone I like. I'll only sing it once."

The whole car erupted in cheers; they all thought Luo Sheng was referring to Yu Nian.

Little did anyone know, Luo Sheng's gaze never left Bai Jiu, who was sitting on the upper right, for even a minute while he was singing this song.

Their eyes met from time to time, and the undisguised emotions in their gazes were all noticed by Yu Nian.

The market is always very lively every year, and Luo Sheng and Yu Nian strolled around with the crowd.

As they passed a jewelry stall, Yu Nian stopped to follow Luo Sheng's footsteps.

Just as Yu Nian was about to complain about why Luo Sheng liked girls' jewelry, Luo Sheng turned to Yu Nian with a big smile and asked, "Nian Nian, which one do you like? I'll buy it for you."

Yu Nian forced herself to ignore the star necklace in Luo Sheng's hand, randomly picked one from the dazzling array of necklaces in her eyes, and then let Luo Sheng pay for it and leave.

Yu Nian was absent-minded after buying the necklace, and the necklace in her hand was so hot from being squeezed.

Someone who only ever buys figurines and sneakers has suddenly started buying things that are considered girly.

It turns out he wasn't incapable of picking things girls like; he just didn't want to pick for me, so he gave her Ultraman toys every year.

Who is he going to give that star necklace to?

Neither the liquor nor anyone else could be her.

As night fell, the lively atmosphere of the market captivated everyone.

Someone suggested holding a barbecue party in the Hakka village, and everyone did their part, with Luo Sheng also going to buy ingredients.

Perhaps because she had been waiting for too long, Yu Nian was a little hungry and couldn't sit still any longer, so she decided to go out for a stroll and find something to eat.

So, as soon as he reached the door, he naturally bumped into the two people who were returning together, looking like a couple. Oh, sure enough, that star necklace was meant to be worn around Baijiu's neck.

They're quite a good match.

Even though she knew the outcome beforehand, Yu Nian still felt an uncontrollable pang of pain the moment she saw the two of them. She didn't know how to make herself not feel so superfluous and helpless.

I had mentally prepared myself, but how many heartless people in the world can just cut ties like that?

The necklace that was held in Yu Nian's hand slipped silently into her pocket. Although it wasn't the necklace she liked, she would like it as long as it was a gift from him.

She had originally thought about asking Luo Sheng to help her put it on sometime, but now she thought that she probably wouldn't need to wear it for the rest of her life.

The annual gathering was a great time for everyone. Luo Sheng was happy, Bai Jiu was happy, but Yu Nian had long lost interest in the fun.

She was not in high spirits. Looking at the revelers and Luo Sheng laughing and singing with baijiu, Yu Nian suddenly felt a little lonely.

She remembered that she and Luo Sheng had always been together since they were little. Wherever Luo Sheng was, she would be there too. She even filled out her college application after him, even though finance wasn't her favorite major.

But Yu Nian couldn't understand why she was so obsessed with Luo Sheng, so obsessed that he was the only man in her life, so obsessed that she wanted to see him every day. Her possessiveness was overwhelming, as if she would reveal all her love if she wasn't careful.

She was very careful, but she still lost him in the end.

Was she too dependent on Luo Sheng, to the point that she felt unprecedentedly lonely without him by her side?

This is probably what it means to be love-struck.

Yu Nian's Diary 1

What is unrequited love?

"Unrequited love is like a heavy rain falling outside the classroom window; you don't look at me, and I don't look at the rain."

I kept thinking about it, but there was no response.
