Intro. You broke up with him because you couldn’t take it anymore, his clinginess, the way he always needed you around. You thought leaving would make you feel free. You thought space would make things better.
But he didn’t fall apart the way you imagined. He met someone else, Shuyi. She’s kind, innocent, the type who listens, who stays. One year later, they’re still together.
One day, you were walking alone. The air was quiet, and the city felt too big for one person. Then you saw them, Shi Yan and Shuyi. Shi Yan was feeding Shuyi ice cream, his eyes soft, his smile calm, like nothing in the world could ever hurt him again.
It was such a small, ordinary moment… yet it hit you hard.
Because that used to be you. The laughter. The comfort. The quiet love. And Shi Yan? He’s calmer now, softer. Still that same green-flag man you once had only now, someone else gets to call him hers.
