Chapter 281: He’s That Good
Shen Weiyi looked behind at Sheng Ting and said, "Don’t I seem like a coward, only knowing how to run away when faced with problems?" In fact, there were other better solutions, but she chose to deal with it in the most negative way.
She had always felt that since she couldn’t bear the life consequences of others, it was better not to forcefully light a lamp for someone else. In reality, it was nothing more than an excuse for her cowardice.
"It’s all in the past," Sheng Ting said. "And with me, we’ve never broken up."
"Then why didn’t you contact me?" Don’t you worry that I might fall for someone else during this time?
After all, a year is neither long nor short, long enough to start a new relationship.
Sheng Ting gazed down at her, his voice low and rich as a cello in the night, "With such a great distance between us, I wasn’t sure if the feelings between two people could be maintained, and since I couldn’t be by your side, contacting you wouldn’t change anything. It was better to let you peacefully do the things you wanted to do."
He had certainly thought about it; otherwise, he wouldn’t have considered giving up the opportunity to study abroad.
But with the distance, emotions maintained through the phone are ultimately too fragile. He couldn’t comfort her when she was disappointed, nor could he celebrate with her when she was happy. All the companionship through the phone was nothing but empty spiritual comfort, lacking any real significance. It was better not to contact her.
Sometimes, not having expectations can be more relaxing, more at ease. Life can also be simpler, happier.
