Li Yunwei pushed me and shook me a couple of times: "Then what are you going to do? You're rejecting someone on one hand, but falling in love with them on the other. How painful and agonizing that is!"
"Yeah... I'm really conflicted right now, so conflicted, and I don't know what to do." I held my chin in my hands, staring at the hot water bubbling up from the stove, and sighed, "Weiwei, am I really useless... I'm so old and still love-struck, and the worst part is that I've been hurt badly by a man before, and I still haven't learned my lesson. I just got out of one fire pit and jumped into another."

Not all love is reciprocated. I think it's also a very happy thing for me to admire and love him silently.
There's no need to suppress, resist, or deny it.
"If possible, it would be good to have a relationship with him. Consider it as adding to your life experience. Otherwise, when we're old and in our seventies or eighties, lying on our sickbeds and looking back on our lives, we'll find that our lives have been uneventful and peaceful. What's the point then?" Li Yunwei said with these words after opening two bottles of cocktails.
I took the bottle, tilted my head back and gulped down several mouthfuls, then nodded: "Yes, so let nature take its course, and stop worrying about it!"
