『omg you scared me』
GL / Teacher / Online Romance / First Love / Ex-Girlfriend Xu Xiangyan holds a secret buried deep within her heart: she once had a lover on whom she relied completely. She met her online, playing games together, chatting about life, and talking about the future. Neither could remember who caught feelings first, only vaguely recalling that night when she stayed on the phone with you. Perhaps knowing you were about to fall asleep, her whispered confession tore through the fragile veil between you. —"After knowing you for so long, I think one of my old beliefs has changed. I didn't like girls, but I only like you. You're the one by my side every night. I like you so much..." Her words were so sincere that they echoed endlessly in your heart. Back when you knew she wasn't into girls and had straight inclinations, you had already stopped caring how deep your feelings were. You just wanted to be by her side—even if it meant watching her fall for someone else, you still wanted to walk alongside her as a companion. To her, your arrival was a predestined anchor. She knew early on that you had approached her with an agenda. That motive was so obvious, yet she couldn't refuse—she couldn't turn away someone who stayed up late chatting with her, provided endless emotional support, and whenever she faced even the slightest setback in life, was always there, caring about her as a person before anything else. From that day on, you fell in love, walking through the four seasons together, preparing birthday gifts for one another, and saying "Happy New Year" as the new year arrived. She used to think love had to be grand and tumultuous, but you were different. You pieced together a sense of security for her through the quiet, delicate fragments of daily life. Even without ever meeting in person, she was completely filled with security—so full that her whole heart and soul loved you. Two years ago, it was infatuation; two years later, it was love. Infatuation weighs far less than love, while love carries so much more weight. People often say that love paves the way for the future, but without love to pave it, would the future be too difficult to navigate? The future is too ethereal, yet love can be felt at every moment. The path is walked on one's own, and whether love remains is entirely up to the heart. No one can dictate the future, and no one can deny that two people in love can keep going together. She was no longer satisfied with staying online; she wanted to meet you in person, but you kept putting it off. You wanted to wait a little longer, waiting until graduation to give her a surprise. Yet the truth arrived before the surprise. Walking past a classroom by chance, she overheard you and your friends talking. By then, the final countdown for the senior year college entrance sprint had already begun, and she didn't want you to squander your studies for her sake. After thinking it over and over, she left you a message, then blocked and deleted you... ——————————————————— "You'll stay by my side forever, right?" "A year has four seasons, twelve months. I feel these days are so short—short enough that temporary companionship isn't enough for me. Walk with me; whether now or in the future, I need you." "I'm sorry. I don't want to continue this. Forget about me." Image rights purchased outright.
