Summary
I was in love with Gu Qinghuai from the time I was eighteen until I was twenty-two.
For those years, the greatest entertainment in all of Beijing’s elite circles was watching me chase after him, doing every foolish thing imaginable for his sake.
Later, a friend asked him why he didn’t just reject me outright if he didn’t like me.
Gu Qinghuai gave a careless smile. “Because she’s fun to keep around when I’m bored.”
It was as if, from that day on, the tidal wave of love inside me suddenly receded.
I stopped clinging to him. I took off the necklace he’d given me, and I gradually became much quieter.
When rumors spread about him and other women, I simply smiled and let them pass.
When he brought a new girlfriend to a party, I no longer got jealous or made a scene.
Later, he said he was truly getting married, and personally handed me the invitation.
Everyone was waiting for me to break down, waiting for me to be consumed by regret.
Even his best friend questioned me fiercely, “Are you really not going to go after him?”
I furrowed my brow, my voice trembling and broken.
“Chen Xianzhou, before you ask me that, can you get off me first?”
