At night, Shi Aiqiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Letting herself just compromise made her feel really uncomfortable; she couldn't do it.
She had spoken her mind and been rejected, but deep down, she still hadn't given up hope.
She called her best friend, hiding under the covers as she spoke of her troubles.
It was still a pretense of friendship, but her best friend was very considerate and didn't expose her.
"If you can't persuade yourself to accept the current situation and outcome, then take an even bolder step forward. If you don't act, your heart will always be unsettled. Even if the outcome hurts you all over, you only realize when to stop after you have fallen hard enough."
Shi Aiqiao felt there was something right about these words. In the end, it just wasn't painful enough yet.
"A person only has a few decades in a lifetime; if you don't fight for what your heart desires, you will certainly regret it on your last day."
