At eighteen, Shao Baiwei fell in love with a girl and poured all her energy into winning her over.

Fu Qianning said she didn’t like underachievers, so Shao Baiwei studied relentlessly, climbing from the bottom of her class to the top ten.

Mustering her courage, she confessed again, only to learn that Fu Qianning was already with someone else. Shao Baiwei wept until she choked, desperate to know why, but Fu Qianning refused to even see her.

The youthful, unrequited love ended without a trace. Shao Baiwei left dejectedly, and they lost contact completely.

Ten years later, at twenty-eight, they met again in a conference room.

In that instant, time seemed to rewind a decade.

The elegant, composed woman before her slowly merged with the youthful, radiant face from her memories.

A thousand waves crashed in Shao Baiwei’s heart as she finally understood what it meant to see a lifetime in a glance. Yet all she could manage was a stiff, polite “Long time no see.”

Over the past decade, Shao Baiwei had met many people, but none had stirred her heart. Her sealed, shattered heart seemed to have remained frozen in that rainy summer night.

Later, she was no longer the one who felt inferior.

Fu Qianning held her hand, her voice trembling and eyes reddening as she pleaded, “Don’t leave me again…”

Mini-Theater

During a drunken conversation with friends, one of them, emboldened by alcohol, asked Fu Qianning why she hadn’t been in a relationship yet, wondering if she had someone in her heart.

A shadow of melancholy flickered in her eyes as she gave an ambiguous reply.

“Ah, I know,” another friend quickly chimed in. “Qianning is the type who prioritizes rationality above all else. She considers things very carefully before committing.”

Fu Qianning merely smiled sadly, the face in her memory frozen from a decade ago.

“But… I regret it now…”

Her friends teased her for never getting drunk at dinners, joking that it was because no one was there to take her home.

Her voice drifted off, “Maybe…”

Only Fu Qianning knew the truth: she feared getting drunk, feared loneliness, feared being alone, and most of all, feared remembering her.

Love is a lie. There is no ex.
