Standing by the bridge, embracing the evening breeze, Gao Chongting, after hearing Wen He's song, could no longer hold back his tears and they streamed down his face.
yes……
I felt the evening breeze that you felt, so does that mean we've embraced...?
Gradually.
Gao Chongting recalled the six years he spent with her on campus.
They met in high school.
Back then, schools strictly enforced rules against early romantic relationships, so they were treated like ordinary classmates and didn't dare to make any moves.
The only ambiguous moment was when the two walked side by side in the sunset after school, away from the crowd.
In their youthful days, they were a young couple who would blush for a long time even if they just held hands.
Back then, Gao Chongting would always deliberately provoke her, enjoying her chasing after him and gently tapping him.
Gao Chongting felt that was the happiest time of his life.
But……
Those days are like a mirage, long gone.
The thought that she already has a new lover is unbearable.
They are about to enter the hall of marriage.
To become someone else's wife.
As if waking from a dream, Gao Chongting felt as if his heart had been ripped out.
He was in great pain.
I thought he could let go of this six-year relationship with ease.
Now it seems that he was simply running away from the issue because he was afraid to face it.
Just like the lyrics of Wen He's song...
"Like a student who overestimates their abilities and repeats a year of high school."
"We have failed to fulfill our mission of achieving top honors in the imperial examinations."
Gao Chongting was also overconfident, believing that as long as he worked hard enough, he would definitely be able to afford a house and marry her...
How he wished that the one he would marry was his younger, more naive self.
Gao Chongting broke down in tears.
Every breath brings intense pain.
Please don't remind me of this biggest regret of my life... I beg you... The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn't confess my feelings back then...
I really, really love him, but... I'm so terrible. I'm like a pathetic mouse, only daring to watch him from afar in the dark sewers...
The first reaction to liking someone is always a sense of inferiority; every person who has a crush feels unworthy of the other person.
【Don't kill me with the knife of love... Oh my god... I've only ever liked one person in my life, back in my school days, and I'm still secretly watching them now. Singing like this is practically killing me...】
A breeze brushed past him, and past me; in that instant, I truly felt as if I were holding him.
Seriously, dude, don't mess with me like that. You're really rubbing salt in the wound... I can't stop crying...
Under Wen He's singing.
Each of them saw the person they had always dreamed of having.
The person they had secretly loved for a long time, someone they may never have spoken a word to, but who would forever live in their hearts.
Most of them only dared to observe from afar, and then lost contact with each other after graduation.
If given another chance, almost everyone would be willing to give it a try.
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance...
They didn't want to leave any regrets.
Even if they are ultimately rejected, and they can't even remain friends, they will never regret it as they do today.
"Countless stars witness wishes."
"It didn't work~ Who can comfort me in this bad mood?"
"The traffic lights at the intersection are flashing continuously."
"One of them was clearly preoccupied."
"Three words—I can only say them to myself."
"Til your head back~ Don't let the tears get out of control."
"Where is destiny that can turn around?"
"I don't want to hear it~~"
Upon hearing this, almost everyone present broke down in their defenses.
For the first time, they felt that Wen He's depressing songs could be so ruthless.
They presented that beautiful scene to everyone, and then coldly crushed it.
The three words: "I love you".
These are the words that countless unrequited lovers have practiced countless times.
They mustered their courage several times.
But whenever he sees the other person, he immediately deflates like a punctured balloon...
In a panic, they came up with some flimsy excuses to cover it up.
And those three words...
It will never, ever be able to be said.
After the other person leaves, they will blame themselves for being too timid and cowardly, swallowing back the words that were on the tip of their tongues.
How they longed to go back to the beginning and boldly utter those three words.
But...
The twists and turns of fate are always just self-deception.
Once it's missed, it's missed.
There's no going back in life.
I'm devastated. Why do I have to relive this? I'm so regretful... Why wasn't I braver back then? What if it had worked out? Even if it couldn't last a lifetime, even if I was rejected, I would accept it. But I'm just too cowardly to even confess my feelings...
Wen He really doesn't hold back when she's wielding her knife; it strikes straight to the heart, there's no way to dodge, absolutely no way to avoid it...
Who would have thought that Wen He would use my past cowardice to hurt me today? Two packs of tissues weren't enough... I fucking regret it so much...
Failure isn't scary; what's scary is not even having the courage to fail. I'm that kind of person.
Although I expected it to be a depressing anthem, I still couldn't take it. Every line was a critical hit, every word a real wound. How could I possibly bear it...?
At the most distraught moment...
Wen He ruthlessly delivered the final, fatal blow.
