Wen He approached the man, but he didn't react at all, seemingly unaware that someone was beside him.
"Brother, are you alright?" Wen He asked very carefully.
These words startled the man slightly. He slowly looked up at Wen He, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Who are you…?"
“I’m just a passerby. I saw you sitting here alone, and you seemed to have something on your mind. I’m sorry if I’ve bothered you.”
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes showed less doubt and more surprise and shock.
Clearly, he didn't understand why a stranger could see through his worries and even take the initiative to talk to him.
Aside from being unbelievable, his cold and broken heart also warmed up a little more.
"It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little unwell, I'll be fine on my own, thank you." His eyes were shrouded in a thick layer of gloom.
"If it's convenient, could you tell me about it? It's much better to talk about what's bothering you than to keep it to yourself."
Upon seeing Wen He's sincere and kind eyes, the man trembled violently and appeared somewhat dazed.
In that instant, he seemed to remember something, and his emotions began to become somewhat unstable.
He took several deep breaths before he could barely calm himself down.
"I just broke up with my girlfriend. We had a huge fight."
"I met her in college. She was a very cheerful and beautiful girl."
"She has a very bad habit: when we argue about something, she always hurts me with the most cutting and sarcastic words."
"Most of the time it's nothing serious, just some minor misunderstandings."
"If both sides calm down a little, talk it over, and try to appease each other, the problem can be solved."
"But every time we argue, the conflict never gets smaller; instead, it gets bigger and bigger until it gets out of control and we end up tearing each other apart."
At this point, the man's emotions fluctuated again.
His voice became choked with emotion, as if he had suffered a great injustice and had nowhere to vent it.
"Later, she learned to bring up old grievances, and every time we argued, I was always the one who apologized in the end."
"Even if this has nothing to do with me, even if I did nothing wrong, in the end I'm always the one who has to coax her."
“I am a human being too. I am not an emotional dumping ground. I also feel unhappy and sad. She never cares about my feelings.”
“Now, every time we argue, she inevitably brings up my past mistakes and dredges up old grievances.”
“What she said was indeed my fault, and I admitted my mistake at the time. I also tried my best to make up with her, and she said she wasn’t angry anymore. I should have thought that all of this was over.”
"But who could have imagined that past mistakes would become sharp arrows, aimed at me during every argument?"
These memories caused the man excruciating pain, and his eyes gradually turned red.
He couldn't understand why, why his mistakes would be held against him forever.
He had been pushed to the limit and tried to retaliate against his girlfriend in the same way.
He also brought up old grievances.
He was then shocked to discover that all of his girlfriend's mistakes ended with him apologizing.
When he brought up past grievances, his girlfriend retorted, "Didn't you admit it was your fault in the end? Now you're blaming me?" leaving him speechless.
“Whenever I encounter troubles and distress and try to confide in her, she is always very impatient.”
"The kind of response is something like, 'Go find whoever caused it, what's the point of telling me?'"
“Every time we argue, all the good things about me are forgotten, and only my shortcomings and mistakes are remembered.”
"Last winter, she wanted to eat lychees in the early morning. This kind of out-of-season fruit is not sold at ordinary fruit stalls, let alone in the early morning."
"I rode my electric scooter through the cold wind and searched for a long, long time before I finally found the lychees she wanted to eat."
"The ridiculous thing is that the person I care about most doesn't care about me, but a stranger like you cares about me."
After pouring out all his innermost thoughts, the man also wiped away his tears.
He knew that people like him would be called "simps" or "cuckolds" online.
He was also very clear about his situation.
The man was born into an ordinary family, and his parents told him this from a young age.
—Being born a boy means you must take responsibility for what you do.
—Especially in matters of the heart, don't tease girls. Their first time is precious. If you're not prepared for a lifetime commitment, don't touch them lightly.
—Once you start, don't give up easily. Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you persevere, you may get better results.
He can honestly say that he has no regrets about this relationship.
He fulfilled the responsibilities of a boyfriend, but in the end, he was left with nothing but scars.
He's tired now and has decided to give up on the relationship completely.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now."
The man's voice was still a little choked up, but his mood had indeed improved a lot.
At least it's not shrouded in gloom like it was at the beginning.
"Do you still have any feelings for this relationship?" Wen He asked.
"No..." He shook his head bitterly.
He couldn't find a way to resolve this relationship.
If a relationship is always maintained by only one person, then its collapse is imminent.
"I probably never want to touch love again in my life."
“My parents love me very much, and I am not such a cheap person.”
“I don’t want their precious son to be treated like a dog, summoned and dismissed at will.”
The man felt that he might not be born to experience the sweetness of love.
To avoid getting hurt again, he decided to never pursue love again.
Seeing his dejected look, Cheng Yudie couldn't help but offer words of comfort...
"I think everyone should realize that if someone misses the ceiling they once reached in their life and lets the other person down."
"This shows that he lacks the ability to appreciate beauty, or that he is unable to accept such a precious gift."
"And such a heaven-sent opportunity will not be given to him twice."
"Everyone's luck has an average value, and after you separate, your luck will return to the average value."
"It's just that your paths are completely opposite: your lower limit is her, while her upper limit is you."
"You were unlucky to have met her and had this ill-fated relationship, while the peak of her life was meeting you."
"In the end, everyone will get back on the right track. You are like two intersecting lines. After that point of intersection, you will be separated forever."
"What I mean is, you don't have to think that everyone will be like her in the future just because you had bad luck and hit the lowest point in your life."
"You will only encounter better and better things in the future, while she will only encounter worse and worse things."
