Lu Yan pursued me for five years.
The day after I finally said yes, I came across a post written by his childhood sweetheart.
[My ten-year crush is finally over.]
[My childhood friend has a girlfriend now, but it isn’t me.]
[Our story was full of missed chances.
The closest we ever came was the kiss I stole.]
[Letting go of ten years of love feels strange.
Part of me can’t bear to, but part of me is happy for him.]
[If I’d been the one who gave him that piece of candy all those years ago, would I be the one he loved now?]
People in the comments lamented the heartache of her decade-long crush and admired her courage in loving someone for so long, yet still knowing when to let go.
Then Lu Yan replied, sending the post’s popularity soaring.
[Yes.]
I stared at that single word and slowly exhaled.
At last, I had a reason to break up with him.
