Tan You: "I wouldn't say he didn't like you at all, just that he didn't like you *enough*."
"Yes, he just didn't like me enough," Yi Ru said with a small smile. "You know how people are—greedy, especially in love. I liked him so much and my feelings were so passionate, so naturally I wanted something in return."
"I wanted that same sincere and passionate affection, but Zhao Zhao was like a glass of lukewarm water; he couldn't give me that. His work, his hobbies, his colleagues, and his family were always more important than me."
"I was always put behind all of them, and later... after we had a child, it got even worse." Yi Ru sighed. "But to create a stable and harmonious family atmosphere, I had to suppress all that bitterness inside."
"Because to outsiders, Zhao Zhao was a great guy. He didn't smoke, drink, or go clubbing, and he never fooled around. He was even wonderful to our child and to my parents. He seemed perfect in every way."
