Zhong Li watched as the cab of Shu Xian drove away, leaving him standing alone on the street. He felt a pang of pain in his chest, a pain he had never felt before.
It was the pain of rejection, the pain of unrequited love. Shu Xian was the woman he had ever liked in his life, and she had just turned him down.
He started to walk, trying to distract himself from the pain. As he was walking, he was distracted when he saw a girl arguing with a boy in his peripheral vision.
"Didn't you just hear what I said? I said no!"
"But you agreed to meet me…"
"Only to tell you to stop. I'm asking you kindly; please don't bother me!"
"But… Wan Wan…"
"No!!"
To his surprise, it was Wan Wan, his close friend and co-worker in the library. Worried about her, he walked closer to see what was going on.
