She wasn't wrong.
This Tang Siwen did indeed like 'me'.
Her feelings were not mistaken; this was unrequited love.
Similarly, she was a girl who held Chen Yuan in very high regard, and rather than acquiring him, she hoped even more for his well-being.
Just like a fully able-bodied version of her high school self...
Especially that 'her'.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Only those who have harbored unrequited love understand how humble it makes you feel.
"...Yeah," Shen Xiao Ran forced a smile, nodded, and answered, "On New Year's Eve, she told me some really happy things."
"That's right; the timing also matches up."
Tang Siwen understood and nodded slightly. As they reached the intersection and remained very quiet, she finally spoke with a faint smile before parting, "That's great, I'm happy for you, bye."
So there she was, slowly turning around to leave.
Clearly, I hadn't even answered yet.
Why would she say that...
Just like me.
