5In fact, Darren didn't disappear. He just didn't reply to my messages the whole day.I ate according to the recipes listed by Darren and reported to him on WhatsApp on time, but all the messages were not replied to, and he didn't even go to the gym at night.Then I realized that Darren was angry.But I didn't know why.Maybe it was because I lied to him in the beginning.I had always been sensitive to relationships.Since he didn't show up for two days, I stopped sending messages to him and continued to lose weight alone.I began to eat less and less.I didn't mean to eat less, but I found that I had lost my appetite.When Darren accompanied me to lose weight, I didn't think it was a boring and difficult task. Darren tried every means to satisfy my appetite with all kinds of healthy food, and then exercised with me. I was full of hope for every day.But after Darren left, I began to feel meaningless.It was strange. I decided to lose weight for Aaron.Three days later, D
9With uneasiness, I arrived at the restaurant where Aaron and I would meet.I was ready to tell him the truth.I believed Aaron was smart enough to recognize me.I was waiting for his surprised look.I was ready to answer his questions.But when we met, Aaron didn't mention anything about the past."I finally meet my counselor."Aaron looked at me and said with a smile, "You are beautiful, Maggie."He talked about the topics we had talked about on the Internet, about the present and the future with me, just like we were close friends. There was no embarrassment.After all, we were very familiar with each other in the past half a year. At least, I knew Aaron's past very well.Just as I thought, Aaron was really a gentleman. He had taken all my emotions into consideration.He probably didn't relate me to the fat girl a month ago.After all, no one would have thought that someone would lose nearly 30 pounds in 60 days.After dinner, Aaron stopped me and said, "Maggie, when
Author: Ding Shi San Maverick Xenos was my senior at the university.Before I knew him, he looked unapproachable to me. He even spoke with an air of mesmerizing aloofness.Then I found that this man was not what he seemed at all. I was fooled by his facade before ending up as his girlfriend.1Outside the karaoke restroom, I caught a man and asked in a hurry, "Dude, is there anyone in the men's restroom now?"Seeing him shaking his head, I covered my abdomen which contained an inflated bladder. "Could you please help me guard the door? I can't hold it anymore. I just need two minutes. I will come out immediately in two minutes."After saying that, I rushed into the men's restroom without waiting for his answer.When I came out, the man was still standing at the door, looking down at his phone, which he wrapped his slender fingers around.I took a closer look and found that he was quite handsome.I walked over with a grin. "Thank you."He glanced at me and put away his phone
3In order to prepare for the upcoming fitness test, my roommate and I jogged on the field at night. We coincidentally saw Maverick playing basketball.My roommate sincerely commented that Maverick had really fair skin, which was particularly eye-catching among a group of tanned boys who just came back from boot camp.I concurred with her opinion. I wouldn't have my head full of bees if he was just an average guy.Tina encouraged me to take the initiative. After all, one needed to fight for love. I thought it made sense, so I went to the supermarket with a blushed face to buy a bottle of Gatorade and stood next to the basketball court, ready to deliver the beverage to Maverick.Maverick saw me and asked, "Are you jogging?""Yeah, I'm going to undergo a fitness test soon.""Wait for me."Before I could understand what he meant, a basketball flew toward my face. Maverick, who was standing beside me, held his hand in front of me in time and steadily grabbed the basketball.He thr
6The subway was crowded, and I was squeezed by the crowd.Maverick was tall. Seeing me swaying, he reached out his hand and grabbed me from one side. Then, he grabbed the handgrips with both hands, circling me into his arms, which made me feel safe.We were only one fist away from each other. My nose was pressed against his second button, and I smelled the fragrance of his body.Through the glass of the subway behind him, I could see Maverick's back, which made me want to hug him.We could not meet each other for two months during this summer holiday, so I was reluctant to leave. We were not sure about our relationship. Maybe Maverick would not like me if he came back after the holiday.While I was overthinking, Maverick said, "The Students' Union has a few topics during the holiday. You can try them if you are interested."I forgot what I wanted to say. I asked, "What topics?""The specific topics have not been determined yet."I said, "Oh, will you participate? If you join,
9Maverick was a handsome, well-educated, and intelligent person in school. Now, he was an intern in a good enterprise that was full of elite.My roommate told me, "Maverick hasn't confessed his love to you yet. Does he have an interest in another girl? Even if he has no interest in you, your status is ambiguous. If a flirty woman has his heart, what are you going to do?"I suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Was Maverick really such a bad guy?Although I believed that Maverick should not have such a bad intention, I could not guarantee that he would suddenly be tired of me, an innocent woman, and attracted by a mature and sexy woman. Sometimes men just could not stand such seduction.So, why did Maverick not confess to me?I could not wait and finally decided to take the initiative to "take him down."Who would have thought that I who called him a hooligan at that time would be a hooligan now?On the weekend, I deliberately went to the mall in advance to shop with my roommates. I
Author: Bai Kuang Liang Tai Zi Many people said Josiah Lewis was dating me because I looked like his first crush.His first crush was that girl who discontinued her studies to receive treatment for her depression.So, I held a photo of the girl, which was found by my roommate somewhere, and compared it to myself in front of the mirror.Well, her facial features seemed very similar to mine, but no matter how I tried, I could not imitate her melancholic aura.Everyone said I was born an optimist, radiating endless positivity and sunshine in whatever situation I faced.As far as that was concerned, I thought Josiah and I were quite compatible.He was the kind of person who attracted people's attention effortlessly with his every move and gesture. Whenever he crinkled his eyes in a smile, one was sure to be enthralled.I could hardly imagine him being patient enough to appease a young woman who might burst into tears at any moment.1My first meeting with Josiah was at the scho
4Our time as Grade 10 students seemed inexplicably short. We moved on to high school unprepared and hurriedly adapted to it. While we were still at a loss, it was already time for us to choose between the arts and science tracks.That day, during the recess of our last chemistry tutorial class, Josiah had his chin propped in the palm of his hand as he asked me, "Are you going to choose the arts or science track?""Of course, I'm choosing the arts track."Seeing that he was staring at me without any response, I was stunned for a while."Don't tell me that you've decided to choose the science track. If that's the case, you have my respect," I said."No."Josiah sat upright and stretched his body. He had such long legs that I sometimes wondered whether he would feel miserable sitting in a chair like this."I'm also choosing the arts track. It'd be great if we could be in the same class," he uttered.It'd be great if we could be in the same class.His eyes were as calm as the se

Author:Ding Shi San I had a secret. As a psychiatrist, I fell in love with my patient.I spent half a year with him and helped him overcome his inferiority complex.During this period, I could tell he had some feelings for me.Today, he asked to meet me, but I refused.I couldn't. Nor did I deserve it.However, I did hope that one day I could be great enough to say to him directly, "I like you."1Aaron Williams was the dream boy of all the girls.He was very quiet. He liked reading and didn't talk much. Every time he listened to others, he would look into their eyes with a gentle smile.Though outstanding Aaron was, he had his secret.His right ear was deaf, so he could only hear with an audiphone.I knew him by accident.I was a volunteer counselor in an online psychological team. My responsibility was to help some students with psychological problems who were embarrassed to have face-to-face psychological consultations. Aaron was my patient.I recognized him w
3The test finished in two days. It was the first time in two years that I didn't feel that nervous about the exam.After that, I resumed my life with the previous study routine.A few days later, my grades came out. I couldn't calm down for a long time after I got my result.Jared turned around and smiled at me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "I told you that you can do it. You ought to listen to a straight-A student like me."I smiled, too. It was my best grade ever. I was ranked fifth.I was in the top ten in the next few mock tests.It seemed that after the walk with Jared on the field that day, I hadn't been that stressed about studying anymore.Then came the college entrance exams.Finally, we graduated from high school.Our class organized a dinner party. All the teachers were drunk.I was a little tipsy, too. I came out and sat in a chair outside the door to get some fresh air.After a while, Jared also came out and sat next to me.I smiled and said, "At last
2He replied to me expressionlessly, "You're welcome. Just don't be a burden to the group."I gathered myself.But I was still curious about why he chose me. I wondered if it was because I was a good friend of Mellissa.At night, I went home and pondered about the turn of events for a while but was still a little baffled.I took out my phone and sent him a message on WhatsApp: [Why did you choose me as a group member?]After I finished my homework and almost dozed off, he replied: [You really don't know why I chose you?]I answered honestly: [I don't.]After a while, he replied: [I was the one who asked the vice principal to let you stay. I can't watch you keep coming last in class. Your deskmate ranks 11th, while my deskmate ranks 12th. I have chosen two top students to average your scores. If you don't study hard, you will drag the three of us down.]After reading his message, which felt like a lecture, I felt like an incompetent student.Following that, he started training
Author:Yao Ling Er 1Ever wondered how one could get along with a boy one had been having a crush on for three years?Well, I was pretty crushed.Jared Coulson's name was remembered by the whole of Grade 10 on the first day of school.He was admitted to Primrose High School with the top score in the city.He was chosen as the freshman representative to give a speech during the orientation. His handsome look, eloquence, and remarkable temperament had got him a lot of admirers.It was as though he was the heavens' favorite creation.Therefore, from the first day of Grade 10, Jared was dubbed as the campus hunk in our school. It was an indisputable statement that no one had any objection.There was no distinction between arts and science classes in Grade 10 in our school. My classroom was on the second floor, and his classroom was on the first floor. There wasn't a chance for us to interact with each other.Every time I went downstairs and passed by his classroom, I woul
9A few days ago, Daniel lost his key. In case he opened the door and came in tonight, I took the spare key he kept under the doormat.I took several bottles of beer from the fridge and drank them one by one.I had no idea how much I had drunk. My head was dizzy and I was completely drunk. In a daze, I seemed to hear the sound of the door lock rattling.Then it became quiet again.But soon, the sound of water boiling and the clink of cups came from the kitchen.After a while, I heard the steady footsteps of a man slowly approaching me.The light in front of me dimmed, and something icy covered my forehead. Then I heard Daniel say in a low voice, "You have stomach illness. You shouldn't have drunk so much."He lifted my chin gently and whispered in a comforting voice, "Honey, get up and drink some honey water."I closed my eyes and dodged his hand unconsciously."Listen to me," Daniel said patiently.His words were like a pebble thrown into an even lake, which sobered me up
7Daniel was my real boyfriend.That night on Valentine's Day, I did give Jason a hand-copied copy of Shakespeare's sonnets, accompanied Horace to take the Ferris wheel, and finally went to the supermarket with Daniel.All these were reasonable.I had a crush on Daniel since I was in grade 10.At that time, I just transferred from another city. I hadn't yet adapted to the learning environment here, so I failed the first month's exam.As a result, my teacher asked Daniel, my desk-mate, to tutor me in my studies. He and I would do homework in the classroom for a half hour after school.I recalled the calm, cool look in Daniel's eyes, his gentle voice as he carefully explained the math problems, the coffee he handed me when I was sleepy, and the considerate way he stopped to wait for me in the dim corridor.There were countless moments when I fell in love with him.When I was about to tell him about it, Daniel became my brother in name.I plucked up my courage and wrote a love l
4In a burst of noise, the three of them walked up to me.The classroom suddenly quieted down.Curiosity, envy, jealousy... All sorts of gazes rushed to me.Horace said briskly, "Amanda, I'm coming to attend class with you!"Jason said softly, "It's my first time accompanying my girlfriend in her class. Just tell me if you have any advice."Horace retorted, "I'm Amanda's boyfriend!"Daniel just looked at me and said quietly, "You forgot to take the notes I organized for you last night."I heard many people gasping.From the corner of my eye, I saw the pale faces and unbelievable looks of Portia and Jenifer.Jason asked Joyce with a smile, "Can I switch seats with you?"Joyce looked between Jason and me.In a trance, she nodded and left her seat stiffly.So this was how it went.Daniel sat on my left, Jason sat on my right, and Horace sat behind me, poking me with his hand from time to time. More and more students came to see them, almost filling the classroom.The teac
