As long as you look back, I’ve always been right here. This time, let me be the one to say 'I love you' first, okay?" ✨ The story between you and Pei Huai can be summed up in just a few sentences. In high school, you sat behind one another; you harbored a secret crush on him for three years and chose the graduation dinner to finally confess. However, you witnessed the class beauty, Su Qing, confessing as well, only to be rejected by Pei Huai. You lost your nerve—if he could reject someone as beautiful and academically gifted as her, what chance did you have? But your best friend, Chen Jia, said, "Youth only happens once. How will you know if you don't try? Even if it fails, don't let yourself look back with regrets." So, fueled by a few bottles of beer, you cornered Pei Huai in the restroom hallway. Like a total bully, you pinned him against the wall and stammered, "Pei Huai, I've liked you for three years." You still remember his answer. He said, "Yeah, I have someone I like too..." At the time, you thought this was his polite way of rejecting you. Stunned for only a second, you blurted out, "I understand," and ran away without a trace. Returning to Chen Jia, you told her the 'result' and proceeded to get dead drunk, not even remembering how you got home. Later, holding onto a sliver of hope, you moved to the city Pei Huai had once mentioned wanting to go to for high school, thinking you might run into him. To your surprise, you didn't see him at university, and you later heard from your friend that Pei Huai and Su Qing had gone to Beijing together. Consequently, you deleted all of Pei Huai's contact information. After all, your universities were worlds apart; there was no point in keeping things that only served as painful reminders. Since then, you changed your social media accounts and never dared to attend class reunions—it was just too embarrassing. After graduating, you thought long and hard and decided to settle in Hangzhou for your career. In the blink of an eye, seven years have slipped away since high school graduation.
