Chapter 8

Jinwu used to love posting all sorts of little things on her Moments.

Like nameless wildflowers by the roadside, rainbows reflected on the wall, lazy dogs rolling on the sidewalk, beautiful sunsets in the sky…

Later, Fu Yulchen complained, “Can you stop posting such childish things? Do you think you’re a three-year-old? It’s annoying to look at.”

From then on, she never posted on Moments again.

One day, she was dragging her tired body, helping Fu Yulchen organize a pile of tedious student council materials in the library.

She was so tired that she picked up her phone to scroll through Weibo for a break.

“Huh? This is…?”

She came across a love bot.

It was a place where people could share and get help with relationship problems, in the form of anonymous submissions.

Unlike other anonymous submitters, the new submitter not only didn’t hide their username, but also asked a very direct question:

I like a girl, but she already has someone she cares about, and that person isn’t good to her, what should I do to get her to notice me?

Wow! It’s actually a guy asking!

You know, these kinds of emotional posts are usually from girls, rarely do guys like him take the initiative to ask.

Netizens enthusiastically gave all sorts of advice, while curiously clicking on his profile.

They thought that a cool guy like him would either have a blank profile or maybe just posts related to games or basketball.

But as soon as they opened it.

It was like opening a secret garden of a young boy, revealing his grand and bittersweet awakening and sinking.

So annoying, how can she be so cute! Even when she’s angry, she’s so cute, I’m going to die!

I hate holidays, because I can’t see her every day when it’s a holiday.

Why does period pain exist in this world /angry/angry/angry/ I wish I could help her transfer the pain.

My monthly exam scores improved by a few places today, if I can get into the top ten, will she notice me?

Finally, I’m one step closer to you.

Where exactly is the good part of this stupid dog’s head to touch? I’m a pretty dog too, why doesn’t she come and touch me TvT

To take a photo with her, I acted like an idiot and took a picture with everyone in the class for the first time, I even made a few idiotic poses with people I don’t know their names, but it was worth it.

If I had met you before that person, would the gaze you always followed have had my shadow in it?

Who the hell said the moon is cold, it’s clearly gentle, I’m the boss!

……

There were many, many more.

In his records, the girl number 19 was beautiful and cute, gentle and kind, and had excellent grades.

She liked strawberry milk and all kinds of candy, and occasionally she would be wary and prickly like a little hedgehog.

She was like a bright white moonlight, illuminating the boy’s full heart of secret love.

So vivid, you could feel his youthful and passionate love just from the screen.

A cool guy chasing love!

And he was super into her!

Some people quickly figured out that the reason his Weibo name was “No.20” was because the girl he liked had student ID number 19.

Wasn’t he secretly wanting to stand next to her!

Countless netizens were like they were chasing a bittersweet love story, one by one, they were like they were injected with chicken blood, turning into Zhuge Liang and Cupid, giving him all kinds of advice.

Jinwu was one of them.

Coincidentally, the girl’s student ID number was the same as hers, and their preferences and habits were also similar.

So every time the boy posted for help, she could immediately think of a solution and leave a message for him.

For example, once the boy asked for help, saying that the girl was in a low mood today, what could he do to cheer her up?

At that time, Jinwu had performed poorly in one subject, causing her total score to be a few points lower than the last monthly exam, and she was in a bad mood.

She thought for a moment and replied seriously: “Doesn’t she like strawberry milk? You could leave a bottle of her favorite strawberry milk on her desk. Maybe she’ll cheer up soon.”

Soon, the boy liked her comment and followed her.

She happened to be his 520th follower.

Some people speculated that he might be operated by a powerful team behind the scenes to attract traffic.

Others seized upon the words in his Weibo post, trying to guess what high school he attended, where he lived, and other personal information, attempting to uncover some clues.

But ultimately, they found nothing.

“Don’t be silly, how could there be so much unrequited love in the world! It must be fake!”

“This is definitely a traffic-driving post. Those who disagree, just wait and see. When he starts selling things in a few days, you’ll be quiet.”

“I despise unrequited love the most, they’re all a bunch of cowards!”

“You guys don’t understand, once unrequited love has a voice, it becomes a nuisance!”

…

The comment section was filled with various discussions, some questioning, some supporting.

From beginning to end, Jinwu never believed that the unrequited love of this 20th boy was fake.

Because it resonated with her so much.

It was like… watching her own story.

All on this path of chasing after the person they liked, trying to make the other person see them, waiting for this unrequited love to see the light of day.

At that time, Jinwu, like the netizens who had always supported him, was hoping that the boy’s unrequited love could come to a happy ending.

Then, one day.

For a while, the boy who had suddenly disappeared and hadn’t updated his social media for a long time, suddenly posted, with only a few words: “She’s with the person she likes.”

He never updated again.

Jinwu was sad for him for a while.

She didn’t understand, how could that girl not even look at him once when he was so good?

Did all unrequited love have to end in regret?

She thought this story would end in a tragic ending.

Unexpectedly, today, she saw him come back online and update his social media –

@20th: “Reunited with my 19th, she’s single now.”

What!

Reunited!

And she’s single!

Instantly, the entire comment section exploded!

“Ahhhhhhh, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, my BE unrequited love that I chased after all those years, it’s finally resurrected, woohoo!”

“Vocal! 19th, she finally broke up!? This is the first time I’ve heard someone so happy about someone else breaking up, that guy was never good to 19th at all!”

“Thank you, scumbag, for not marrying her!”

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Bro, are you going to continue chasing her now? This question is urgent for me, even more urgent than going to the toilet!”

He quickly replied to this comment: “Of course.”

These simple four words made Jinwu recall that someone had once asked him: “Unrequited love is so hard, haven’t you ever thought about giving up? Even for a second.”

She clearly remembered his reply: “Of course not.”

Time kept passing, but it seemed like it couldn’t take away the courage of that boy, he was still as fiery and bold as ever.

Jinwu smiled, liked his post, and left a message of encouragement in the comment section along with everyone else.

She sincerely hoped.

Ten years ago, it ended in regret.

She hoped that ten years later, he could turn his unrequited love into reality.
