"From A Cheng's point of view, we feel sorry for him. His sincere feelings were rejected."
"But from the girl's perspective, she must truly be troubled by A Cheng's relentless pursuit."
Li Yan sighed.
"People tend to side with whoever seems more vulnerable."
"Because of the way A Cheng acted... so cautiously around the girl..."
Li Yan pursed his lips.
"We all advised A Cheng to move on. There are plenty of fish in the sea..."
"Some people even approached the girl... and asked if she could give A Cheng a chance..."
"Thinking about it now, wasn't that unfair to the girl...?"
"I wasn't that close to A Cheng back then."
"Most of what I knew about him and that girl came from other people."
"A lot of the time, I was just joining in the gossip and following along with everyone else."
"Later, we went to different high schools, and A Cheng and I lost touch."
"In my mind, that relationship had ended without resolution after graduation, when everyone went their separate ways."
"I never expected..."

"He still likes that girl?"
Zhang Bo looked at Li Yan. "Were they in touch during high school?"
"Yeah."
Li Yan nodded. "A Cheng went to a lot of trouble to get the girl's contact information from someone else."
"The girl didn't want to give it to him."
"Fair enough."
