I ran into Fang Hui in the hallway.
She stood across from me, her gaze fixed on me, her eyes red and swollen.
"Li Chaowen, what are you doing here?"
Her roommate was right beside her, so she dared not question me loudly and could only lower her voice.
I smiled and didn’t answer her, continuing to kiss the girl in my arms.
The sadness in Fang Hui's eyes was almost impossible to hide.
But what did that have to do with me?
I turned to the side, kissing deeper and more intently.
It wasn't until Fang Hui wiped her tears and ran away that the girl in my arms gently pushed me away: " A Yu, is that your friend?"
I ruffled her hair: "Sort of, let’s go, I’ll walk you back."
I held her as we went downstairs; she leaned against me while I played with the ends of her hair.
"Are you coming over tonight?"
"No, I promised Fang Hui I would help her with her paper."
"How about tomorrow at noon?"
"Sure~"
...
I walked her to the dorm entrance and kissed her forehead: "Go back now; I'll watch you go upstairs."
"Okay."
After watching her go upstairs, I turned around.
And there stood Fang Hui behind me.
I stopped smiling.
She couldn’t even look me in the eye; she glanced at me and then hurriedly ran away.
This girl has liked me for ten years and pursued me for ten years.
For a decade, she has remained by my side as a friend.
I watched coldly as she did foolish things for me but never gave her a response.
She knew I wasn't interested in dating.
But she didn’t know that I wouldn’t date anyone at all.
Because I’m gay.
And she is the only person in this world, besides my parents, who knows this fact.
At first, it hit her hard.
But it wasn’t long before she picked herself up again and continued to cling to me.
She said, "Even if you can’t accept me, it doesn’t stop me from liking you."
"We can just be friends for life."
I certainly have no objections. Having one more friend is no loss to me. I just didn't expect that one day she would give up on me.
That day, she came to find me as usual. As soon as she entered the door, her phone rang. I casually picked it up for her. On the video was me. To be precise, it was a man who looked exactly like me. His name is Li Chaowen, my twin brother, and he is the only person in the world who looks just like me.
"Hello, I am Li Chaowen," he said. Fang Hui was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly screamed, "Ah—!" I frowned, about to ask her what was wrong when she suddenly lunged at me and hugged me tightly: "Li Chaowen! You are Li Chaowen!"
I instinctively wanted to push her away, but she held on tightly, her voice choked with tears: "Li Chaowen, I finally found you, I finally met you..."
I realized something and tentatively asked, "You... were looking for me?"
"Yes!" She looked up at me with red eyes, "I always thought you were Li Chaowen; it turns out you are not. You are Song Qianhuai."
"Li Chaowen, I like you. I really like you."
I remained silent for a long time before pushing her away.
"I'm sorry, but I don't like you."
"But I like you! I've liked you for ten years. Can you give me a chance?"
"No."
"..." She bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, "Can't you give me even one chance?"
I sighed and tried to sound gentle: "I'm sorry, but I can't accept you."
She cried even harder.
I felt a pang of sympathy and wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say. I could only stand there quietly until she finished crying.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally stopped sobbing and looked at me with red and swollen eyes: "Since you don't like me, can you at least give me your brother's WeChat? That should be fine, right?"
I hesitated for a moment but still gave her Li Chaowen's WeChat.
That night, Li Chaowen called me on video. He was grinning from ear to ear: "Bro, you won't believe it! I fell in love at first sight with a girl today!"
Saying this, he showed me a photo of Fang Hui.
I remained silent for a long time and gently asked him: "Do you really like her?"
"Of course!"
"Okay." I closed my eyes for a moment. "I'll help you."
The next day, Li Chaowen took a day off to find me. This was the first time he asked for my help. It was also the first time he called me "Xiao Jing."
"Xiao Jing, I want to invite her to dinner. Can you help me ask her out?"
"Sure."
I added Fang Hui on WeChat for Li Chaowen and intertwined their chat histories. Every day, I watched them pour their hearts out to each other in our chat box.
To see Fang Hui, Li Chaowen specifically took three days off. When they met for the first time, they developed feelings for each other. Later on, they started video chatting every day. Eventually, Li Chaowen stopped video chatting with me.
I knew they were together.
When I returned to the dormitory, Fang Hui was there too. She sat at the desk with red eyes.
"Xiao Jing, I'm sorry, I..."
I waved my hand to interrupt her. "No need to explain; I understand."
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay." I smiled. "Actually, I had guessed this day would come."
"I just didn't expect it to come so soon."
"But it's alright; as long as you can be happy."
Fang Hui cried and threw herself into my arms. I gently patted her back in silent comfort. In my heart, I silently wished her well, hoping she could find happiness.
