The one who falls in love first is the one who loses first, Xie Yi said, I’ve lived for 28 years and finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

If unrequited love was a type of self-destruction, then what was a hopeless unrequited love? Before anyone could see him, Xie Yi shamelessly kicked an empty can high into the sky: “Holding on to a hopeless unrequited love involves more dedication than those suicidal terrorists who use their own bodies as bombs, pah!”

“Wang Shumin, this son of a b*tch, he didn’t want me when I was rushing to hand myself over to him—only now when I’m no longer taking him seriously anymore. Regretting it now, huh? Serves you right!”

——A friendly cameo from a nobody

Wang Shumin: “Xiao-Xie, Xiao-Xie, a person’s life is only so long, even if you want to be stubborn with me, you can’t cross me out forever. Give me a chance to turn over a new leaf……”

I'm so glad I read this story despite being apprehensive at first. This is a very beautifully written short story that captures your emotions with words.

In the story Xie Yin, the top student and Wang Shumin, the local troublemaker did not get along at first.

Xie Yin comes from a troubled family, his father is abusive and his mother is the one financially supporting the family.

Because of his father's abusive tendencies, their neighbours (Mr and Mrs Wang) couldn't stand seeing the mother and son getting beaten. So they let the two... more>> stay at their house from time to time.

Now Wang Shumin hates Xie Yin, believing him to be girly (due to his looks) and a nerd (because he's always quiet and only seen reading his books). It doesn't help that Wang Shumin's parents compare the two in front of him either.

Xie Yin on the other also doesn't really like the boy, but decides to tolerate him as they meet often as his (Wang Shumin's) home.

That is until one day, the results of their exam came. And as you would expect Xie Yin got good marks while Wang Shumin was close to last.

Already in a bad mood and spurned by jealousy, Wang Shumin was easily edged on by one of his classmates, a chubby boy (who is also a troublemaker with a bad moral compass) into "causing trouble for" Xie Yin (which is almost straight up bullying).

Unfortunately who would have known this one incident would lead to a series of misfortune for Xie Yin:

Spoiler

Xie Yin got a chair thrown at him from his father because his bag was muddy (caused by Wang Shumin and his gang throwing the bag into the pond) and ended up in the hospital. To take care of her hospitalised son, Xie Yin's mom rushed back and forth from hospital to work, resulting in her getting into an accident.

[collapse]

Realising that his action was the catalyst of Xie Yin's misfortune, Wang Shumin (who although was a troublemaker still had a decent moral compass) was swarmed with guilt and decided to treat Xie Yin better.

Eventually he broke away from the chubby boy and his gang and stood up for Xie Yin when chubby boy tried to bully him.

From then on after a series of twist and turns the two became best friends and that was when their emotional entanglement began.

I wouldn't spoil to much anymore. Please read it for yourself to see. <<less
