She looks so much like Huai Jing that the moment I saw her, I felt like my world had regained its colors.
I started to deliberately get close to her, treating her well, unconditionally well.
Like a little shadow, I followed her around.
When she was thirsty, I bought her water.
When she was hungry, I took her out for delicious food.
When she was tired, I took care of her diligently.
Everyone said, "Lan Luo, you are too good to Wen Renlan."
I smiled and said nothing.
They didn't know that I wasn't being good to Wen Renlan; I was just treating her the same way I treated Huai Jing.
Wen Renlan probably sensed this as well.
One drunken night, she snuggled into my arms and asked me, "Lan Luo, do you like me?"
I nodded.
She asked, "Have you liked me for a long time?"
I nodded again.
She asked, "Then would you be my boyfriend?"
I nodded once more.
Wen Renlan giggled and gently kissed me: "You are so cute."
Since then, I became her secret boyfriend.
Of course, this was one-sided.
Wen Renlan never regarded me as her boyfriend, nor did she ever give me equal love.
But she did not reject my kindness.
Being with Wen Renlan for these five years, I was willingly content.
My life had lost its color, and it was her who helped me find hope again.
So, even if she wasn't sincere towards me, I was still very grateful.
I appreciated her willingness to give me the chance to accompany her.
However, Wen Renlan loved Zuo Qiucong.
Even if Zuo Qiucong wasn't sincere towards her, she didn't care at all.
Every time Zuo Qiucong drunkenly called her in the middle of the night, she would rush over to take care of him.
As time went on, Wen Renlan probably felt a bit guilty.
She gradually realized that her attitude towards me might be somewhat inappropriate.
But what difference did it make?
As long as Zuo Qiucong needed her, she would unhesitatingly leave me to pursue her love.
I tried to hold onto her, but she turned a blind eye.
She chased Zuo Qiucong abroad.
This trip lasted a whole year.
However, she returned once during that time.
She had drunk too much and asked me to pick her up.
I walked into the private room of the nightclub, and she was video calling Zuo Qiucong.
In front of Zuo Qiucong, she introduced me confidently: "This is my boyfriend of five years, Lan Luo."
In the video, Zuo Qiucong's face was as cold as ice.
But he seemed to forget that the video had sound.
I heard Zuo Qiucong on the other end, breathing heavily.
Zuo Qiucong lost his composure and abruptly ended the video call.
She immediately hugged me.
That night, we were completely entwined.
I kissed her hungrily, and she responded passionately.
We stayed awake all night.
In the morning, we woke up.
Wen Renlan sat at the head of the bed and said to me seriously, "Lan Luo, let's end it here."
I had been mentally prepared for this.
My relationship with Wen Renlan began with Zuo Qiucong and ended with Zuo Qiucong.
Last night, Zuo Qiucong told Wen Renlan over the phone, "If you break up, I'll be with you."
Wen Renlan replied, "Okay."
This morning, Wen Renlan told me, "Lan Luo, we are breaking up."
I pretended to be calm and said, "Okay."
In truth, I had long known that I could never compete with Zuo Qiucong.
Even though I had been with Wen Renlan for five years.
Even though I treated her well.
Even though I had invested countless efforts for her.
In Wen Renlan's heart, I would always be inferior to Zuo Qiucong.
Zuo Qiucong only needed a single word to make her leave me without looking back.
