I said nonchalantly, "Su Qi, there's no such thing as not being able to go on without another person. After I left Dongyu, it wasn't as though I couldn't go on."
However, he expressed his doubts. "Really?"
I found myself averting my gaze.
"Uh huh! It's true."
Even after I left him and was in a foreign land, I had never curled up in a corner of my apartment, hugging my pillow and crying my eyes out.
I had never stared at the bracelet that he gave me and thought of him for days on end, hardly eating or drinking.
I didn't work my hands off to earn enough money for an air ticket to fly back home from Los Angeles, only to find that my family had moved and gave me no contact address. Neither did I cry in despair when that happened, as I held the crumpled air ticket in my hand.
Instead, "Life was fine for me." I said and smiled faintly.
