The male protagonist sighed as he overheard the teacher subtly suggesting that the female protagonist's grades had dropped significantly and she might not be able to get into university.
The male protagonist was somewhat at a loss, and just looked down at the calluses on his hands.
At that moment, he suddenly recalled the look in her eyes when he and the female lead passed by a shop window with a piano on the street.
Everything seemed so clear; I heard that she came in first place on the day of the car accident.
He made a decision to support the female protagonist's education in art.
When the female protagonist found out, she showed no gratitude, but simply looked at him silently and accepted it without her usual insults.
He peered through the crack in the classroom at the female protagonist playing the piano inside. She seemed to have returned to her former self, but she looked very cautious.
The girl sitting at the piano, playing music, seemed to return to a time before everything happened, peaceful and quiet, as if she were still the little princess held in her parents' hands.
[Waaaaah~ My daughter, sitting at the piano, I just burst into tears.]
[The female lead seemed so sweet at first, but then she suddenly became cold and even aloof. But when she sat down at the piano again, she became very cautious and careful. I cried so much!]
[It seems like their time together is getting harder and harder. Director Lin, are you sure you won't cut me?! You've already cut me so badly, you can't cut me too!]
The female protagonist eventually got into a good art school.
Despite not saying a word, the male protagonist still sold the house without hesitation and accompanied her to another unfamiliar city.
After the female lead enters university, she occasionally asks for living expenses, but rarely appears at the male lead's rented apartment otherwise.
The male protagonist works odd jobs and occasionally visits her at school.
He watched from afar, under the shade of a tree, as the female protagonist chatted and laughed with her classmates on the beautiful university campus, carrying her textbooks as she walked towards the teaching building.
The sunlight seemed to favor the female lead, making her appear to glow.
Turning to look at himself, he stood in the shade of a tree in the sunlight. He felt that the female lead seemed to see him, but even the sunlight did not illuminate the area beneath his feet, so how could the shining stars see him again?
She seemed to want to get rid of the painful past that she couldn't bear to look back on, a past that also included him, the beautiful flowers he carefully nurtured in the mud, and the unspeakable feelings he buried deep in his heart.
She is keeping her distance from him.
The male protagonist was somewhat lost, and unconsciously drifted off into a daze when doing business with his partner.
His partner was a rich and beautiful woman. To be precise, this rich and beautiful woman wanted to open a hot pot restaurant and wanted to poach the male protagonist to be the manager, but the male protagonist ultimately chose to invest and become a partner.
Because of frequent business dealings with the male lead, the business partner discovered that he was a very gentle and kind person who even supported the female lead's education. He also witnessed the female lead coldly asking the male lead for money and then leaving after taking it, which made the business partner want to help the male lead get rid of the female lead.
【Aaaaaah!!! Waaaaah~ Why am I crying so much?! They didn't even die!!!!】
[It's so heartbreaking to watch. I'm so happy that the female lead finally smiled, but seeing the male lead makes my heart ache. Why can't they both be happy?! Why can only one of them move on from the past?!]
[I feel like the female lead hasn't moved on. She's actually working part-time, so she shouldn't need to ask the male lead for living expenses. I feel like she still cares about the male lead, but she just hasn't been able to reconcile with the past.]
[Seriously? You guys actually want them to be together? They're separated by the lives of the female lead's parents, and by altered life trajectories. If you ask me, it's best if the male lead is with the rich and beautiful woman, and the female lead is with the rich second-generation suitor. They can both have new lives, new beginnings.]
I thought it was two suffering hearts trying to warm each other, but it turned out neither of them had any warmth left.
[Seriously? The male lead is so sweet.]
[What's so heartwarming about this? I feel like the female lead saw through his intentions the moment he sold the house to go with her to university. She chose a school outside her city, and she already had student loans, yet he still sold the house to follow her. It just shows he didn't want to let this bird about to take flight escape. Besides, if her parents were still alive, she and the male lead would be from completely different worlds. And he's not as harmless as you all think.]
[I've never been so eager for the male and female leads to separate. Being together is torture! They're in the same space, barely communicating unless absolutely necessary, but why can I still find so much sweetness in them?! Waaaaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮]
[You upstairs, how did you manage to bump into something like this?! You must be really hungry!]
Don't you feel there's an invisible bond between the two of you? A tacit understanding that doesn't need words, only the past is too heavy, forcing two parallel lines that would never intersect to meet.
The male lead's business partner, a wealthy and beautiful woman, secretly met with the female lead.
"You can't exploit him for the rest of his life just because he saved your life. He's a good man, very pitiful. You have no idea how he earned that money..."
As the female protagonist listened to the rich and beautiful woman recounting the male protagonist's experiences of working and earning money, she immediately interrupted her with a sarcastic remark.
"You like him?"
The wealthy and beautiful woman, having her thoughts exposed, felt a little flustered listening to the female lead insulting the male lead, but mostly indignant on his behalf. He clearly didn't need to help the female lead; it was the female lead's parents who chose to save his life. Even if there was a life-saving debt, hadn't the female lead already repaid that debt by going to university and becoming an adult?
