"The Luna of my memory is not one to give up so easily. Why have you become so passive? It feels like I don't even recognize you anymore. Show the power you had when you competed with me for first place in high school! There's nothing you can't do." Felix smiled.He turned slightly and peered at a small patch of grass not far ahead as if he were gazing at something else through it.I smiled helplessly. "I've thought about it seriously. You and Lilac are a couple. It's normal for her to be possessive. "If I were to think about it from a different perspective, I wouldn't want my boyfriend to be too close to other women too. She's defending her right. "Her approach may be incorrect, but her reason isn't wrong. I can understand it. So, we still need to maintain a certain distance. That'll be beneficial for both of us."Felix, regardless of the reason, she's the woman you chose to be with. You've been together for several years now. Everyone knows you two are a couple. You promised h
In my opinion, performing together was a bad idea that would bring about negative consequences. If we continued to let this mistake grow, it would just snowball into something bigger.However, after deciding to perform together, I really did put a lot of effort into it. I sincerely hoped the performance would be a success.Should I give up or persevere and achieve the perfect result?The two sides fought hard in my mind, and it was almost like there was a scale to help me weigh things out. But the weight on both sides was identical, and there was no winner.Sometimes, I felt like an elderly woman with a backward ideology. I kept restraining and managing myself with moral values. In the eyes of others, my constraints were simply self-imposed. In other words, I was the kind of person who sought out trouble when everything was fine and made things difficult for myself.So, when I was shackled by my own morals, I needed an appropriate reason to help myself make a decision. In truth
I believed he genuinely wanted to give me the guitar and didn't care about the money. I appreciated his kindness, but I couldn't accept it without reason.This was my bottom line, and I had to insist on it."I must give you the money. If you won't take it, I..."If he wouldn't take it, I wouldn't accept the guitar and wouldn't attend tomorrow's performance. But I couldn't finish telling him the last part.It wasn't that I lacked a conscience or was ungrateful. It was not that I wanted Felix's gift to become a tool I could use to threaten him either, especially since he gave the guitar to me with good intentions.He understood my stubbornness and pinched his forehead. Raising his eyebrows helplessly, he sighed. "You're always so stubborn. Do you have to be like this?""Yes." I gazed at him, insisting on my opinion.He looked at me deeply. The hushed argument lasted two minutes before he backed down and agreed to let me pay for the guitar myself."Give me your bank account number
Felix was rarely strict. He wouldn't let me refuse.I knew he meant well, but I just couldn't accept it.I had been having so much contact with him lately that we frequently appeared together in front of everyone.Two people in my apartment had already asked if I had a boyfriend. It showed that Felix and I had captured the attention of others.If someone were to slander me one day, I was scared my name would be on the love confession wall for all the college's professors and students to see. I had a pure conscience and wasn't afraid of what others said. But since it was unnecessary, I should nip the matter in the bud.Besides, I had just finished talking to Lilac during the day and went out with Felix again at night. Although there was a reason for everything, I didn't believe I could properly justify it. In that case, what would others think?I looked at Felix. His expression was frigid, concealing a trace of gloom."Thank you, but I can go back by myself.""Luna..."His ex
Several photos seemed to have been taken sneakily as the shooting conditions looked immature. However, due to Helen's beauty and Matthew's gentlemanly behavior, the photos turned out pretty good.There seemed to be a subtle understanding between the two. Their smiles were in sync when they naturally turned to glance at each other.Half an hour ago, Helen posted a photo to social media. It showed Matthew in a suit and leather shoes. He had his left hand around Helen's shoulder and held a glass of wine in the other. He was looking back at Helen with a calm and soft gaze, making one feel happy for them.Such a gentle exchange of looks made me believe they would have a wonderful future together.The most heart-fluttering part was the accompanying words, "Time stops whenever I'm with you."Through the years, Matthew and Helen had grown from being complete strangers to being dependent on each other.Matthew must have been moved by Helen's wholehearted devotion.Indeed, being loved sin
"I like waiting for you the most."In other words, it was not that Colin—who never had a romantic partner even when he was approaching 30—hadn't found someone he fancied. Rather, he had been waiting for some reason.The sour feeling in my heart grew stronger by the moment.In that case, what about me?If he already had someone he loved, why did he confess to me and ask me to accept him? Why did he speak so passionately, saying that he had always liked me!He was declaring his love for another person in such a possessive way without any explanation after confessing to me. I had even promised him to consider it seriously.What was I to him?Was I just someone he was using to pass the time while waiting for someone else?Felix was already a jerk, but if my guess was right, Colin was even worse.Was I doomed to be hung up on the two wrong choices I made, both from the Whites, for the rest of my life?I felt a little sad and angry.I maneuvered to his WhatsApp chat box and presse
Did I feel lost? How could I possibly not feel lost when the person who had been taking care of me all this while was suddenly distancing himself? But what right did I have to complain about it?I threw the phone aside and repeatedly told myself that Colin had found the love of his life. Wasn't this what I had always hoped for in the past? I should be happy for him.But for some reason, I just couldn't feel happy.I hadn't realized why I was so sad and upset. I was just deluding myself, telling myself that all this was normal and that it was bound to happen someday. It just came a little too sudden, so I wasn't mentally prepared yet.I kept comforting myself, telling myself to start getting used to this version of Colin and this version of me.However, even with all the excuses I could think of, I couldn't accept or forgive him for declaring his affection for another woman. Not before I had even given him an answer.We had a promise, but he had broken it. It was clearly his fau
My face looked a little distorted from the swelling after a night of crying. I put on heavier makeup to hide it. I put on a snow-white casual long dress with silver sequins embroidered on the hem and combed my clean hair to naturally drape on my back.I wore the white strappy sandals with pearls I had recently bought while shopping with Colin, carried my beloved guitar, and stepped out of the apartment.I didn't expect Felix to be waiting for me in front of the apartment building.When he saw me, a hint of surprise and delight flashed through his bright eyes.He was in an all-black attire. Looking at him like this gave me a headache again.With the way we were dressed and how we were about to perform in front of thousands of people, it would be a shame if we didn't generate some gossip-worthy news.If I had known earlier, I would have worn something colorful. It would have been better than me in all white and him in all black. We looked like angels descending to Earth.At 8:00 p
