The Love That Returns from Afar
Modern I've liked this older man for nine years, enduring the torment of societal judgment day and night. Last week, I confessed my feelings to him, but he rejected me. This week, he brought a girlfriend to my house for a gathering.
I took the opportunity to corner him when he went to the restroom and confronted him, "Did you get a girlfriend just to make me give up?"
He calmly replied, "Because of emptiness."

I had a crush on Liang Yuan since my first year of university. At that time, he was thirty-five, living a solitary life, free to come and go, carrying a DSLR, traveling far and wide, capturing one sought-after piece after another.
I was also learning photography and had heard some legends about him, developing admiration for him and wanting to be his apprentice. However, I didn't dare to say it outright, fearing he might think I was trying to bind him with favors.
So, I resorted to the stupidest method—I took my camera to find him whenever I had free time. He didn't care much for me; most of the time, it was just me talking to myself and entertaining myself.
After three months of this, I don’t know which compliment finally struck a chord, but he agreed to talk to me about photography. However, that day, he seemed to be in a bad mood, with his eyelids drooping and an indifferent expression.
The cold white light overhead shone down on his deeply contoured face, and he exuded a charm that only comes from being shaped by the passage of time, as if he was a vessel filled with untold stories from his past. Perfect Lover
Modern One morning, I woke up to find my best friend's boss lying next to me.
His sleeping face was particularly exquisite, with a high nose bridge and red lips… swollen, possibly due to angular cheilitis.
"Still not enough?"
The man kept his eyes closed, furrowing his brows, his tone one of exasperation.
Realizing that I had indeed been staring at him for a long time, I felt my face flush slightly. My legs, hidden under the covers, were nervously trembling: "You’re awake, um… should I just leave or make you breakfast?"
After a prolonged silence, he slowly opened his eyes and touched his mouth: "Why so forceful?"
"Don't let me start a relationship; if I do, I'll definitely end up ruining his lips."
That was my bold statement before getting drunk last night, and I really didn’t expect to follow through.
I slowly and gently pulled up the blanket to cover my face: "I’m sorry, I’ll pay for your medical bills." Romantic Fights: Treacherous Lovers

Romance A writer once said, "We don't need down jackets in summer, fans in winter, and attention after we're disappointed."
After the breakup, I became happy and even found myself.
Thanks for letting me go.
This is a series of stories after breakups.
A relationship may not necessarily make people happier, but a breakup will definitely do it.
“Seven Ear Piercings”
I had a secret relationship with my stepmother's son.
When we broke up, it became particularly unpleasant.
One day, he got drunk and intercepted me in the bathroom. He said, "I'm a masochist. We'll torment each other until our hair turns grey. What can you do to me?"
“Blind Date With an Undercover Cop”
I never expected to meet him again. The last time I saw him, he was a clumsy barista who messed up my order nine times in a row. I felt sorry for him, so I tried to crack a joke. "Hey, are you an undercover cop?"
He looked startled and denied it quickly. But as soon as I left the cafe, he locked the door and disappeared.
Later on, we ran into each other again. He stopped me and said, "You're under arrest, because you have stolen my heart, darling."
