Yun Yuqing and Aya didn't just meet recently; in fact, they had known each other for a long time, even longer than Shen Haoyu had imagined.
“Actually, Aya held me when I was little.” Yun Yuqing said this with a complicated bitter smile on her face. “She always teases me about it, even though I’m only five years younger than her… But she just keeps bringing it up, and for a while I ignored her because of this.” Five-year-old Aya and Yun Yuqing, who was less than a year old, had known each other for almost twenty years. For Aya, the most vivid memory was of them playing wildly in the same courtyard when they were little.
Aya and Yun Yuqing were neighbors, and they were the only two girls in that residential area. So, from the moment Yun Yuqing learned to walk, Aya was her little friend who held her hand and led her around that familiar courtyard, and was also Yun Yuqing's "Sister Aya".
“Aya… Sister Aya, she’s like my mother.” For some reason, Yun Yuqing’s expression was unusually somber when she said these words. It didn’t seem to be just because her mother had passed away; there seemed to be another reason hidden behind those complex and painful eyes—Shen Haoyu thought to himself.
After Yun Yuqing started elementary school, she spent more time with Aya. Aya's middle school was right next to Yun Yuqing's elementary school, and every afternoon after school, Aya would be the first to arrive at Yun Yuqing's school gate, take her hand, and walk home together. However, by then Yun Yuqing had started cutting her hair short and didn't want to wear skirts anymore, so she was somewhat resistant to Aya still picking her up the way she used to when she was little.
"There's only one thing that Sister Aya can't beat me in: height. When I was in fifth grade, I was already about the same height as her, and later I even surpassed her. She had to stand on tiptoe to touch my head." When Yun Yuqing said this, a long-lost light finally appeared in her eyes.
Aya was a very pretty girl… Yun Yuqing realized this through the gossip of her "buddies." At that time, she was only in junior high school, with short hair, and dressed no differently from the boys in her class. Plus, she was taller than the boys, so the teacher always put her in the boys' group during PE class, and didn't shy away from any physical labor—Yun Yuqing was happy to be treated like a boy; it was the result of her continuous efforts to "change herself." Meanwhile, Aya was already a senior preparing for high school entrance exams. Their schools weren't close, but Aya would still wait for Yun Yuqing at the school gate on weekends to go home together.
Yun Yuqing still remembers the countless envious glances, even jealous ones, she received from the male classmates around her when Aya, with her long flowing hair and flowing dress, took her arm and smiled beside her. They didn't treat her like a girl; their jealousy stemmed from seeing her as one of their own—that's what Yun Yuqing thought at the time.
So, Yun Yuqing stopped resisting going home with Aya. She even took the initiative to invite Aya to go on a trip together, just so that all the boys in the class could see that Aya was walking with her and holding her hand.
“‘Sister Aya, do you like me?’ That’s what I asked her back then, and her reply was ‘I like you the most.’ I still remember it to this day.” Yun Yuqing said with a self-deprecating bitter smile. “How silly of me… I was so silly back then, actually taking those words to heart.” After that, the two of them went their separate ways because of Aya’s college entrance examination and further education.
For the first two years of her university studies, Aya would come back during summer and winter breaks. She had become even more beautiful, so beautiful that Yun Yuqing didn't know how to face her. It was around that time that Yun Yuqing's "Sister Aya" unconsciously became just "Aya," but Aya didn't pay attention to Yun Yuqing's little scheme and maintained a close relationship with her as before.
But later, Aya's third year in university was also Yun Yuqing's first year in high school. She didn't go home during the summer vacation or the winter vacation.
That year, Yun Yuqing never saw Aya.
Then, she heard the news that Aya had graduated from university and gotten married.
"Later, I learned that Aya's relationship with her family had always been bad." Yun Yuqing's tone was full of bitterness as she said this. "Her parents were very sexist, but Aya and her older sister were both girls. In their eyes, Aya was even less than me, a 'tomboy'." Aya never went home after getting married. During this time, Aya's parents, who had once scolded her for being an unfilial daughter, moved away. Aya's older sister also got married early. It is said that the place where Aya's parents moved to was Aya's older sister's home, and that older sister had to take on the responsibility of taking care of their parents in place of her younger sister.
During this time, Yun Yuqing graduated from high school. Because her mother was ill and she longed for a white coat, Yun Yuqing chose nursing. It wasn't the best major she could get at the time, but it was the only one that didn't require her to leave the city. It was in the year she put on her nurse's uniform—Yun Yuqing claims that she didn't realize until after enrolling that nurses didn't actually wear white coats, which annoyed her—that Aya suddenly returned.
Aya is back; she has returned to the home where she was born and raised, a place where no one is left.
"I am divorced."
This was the only thing Aya said to Yun Yuqing's mother when she visited Yun Yuqing's home. She didn't say anything else, and Yun Yuqing's mother didn't ask any questions. She just let Aya into her room.
That night, Yun Yuqing could hear soft sobbing coming from her mother's room.
That wasn't her mother's voice, Yun Yuqing knew it very well.
Then, Yun Yuqing's life seemed to return to normal. Aya moved in next door to her house, in the same old house, and they were still neighbors. Aya was still as beautiful as ever, though she looked a little tired, but she also possessed a beauty that Yun Yuqing couldn't quite describe. This beauty made Aya even more captivating, and it also made Yun Yuqing, who had by then understood "who she was," even more certain of her feelings.
Yun Yuqing started going home more often—before that, she had always lived in the school dormitory, and Aya was also very happy to see Yun Yuqing come home. Although Aya would always nag Yun Yuqing about making up with her mother, which annoyed Yun Yuqing, Yun Yuqing felt that it didn't matter in order to see Aya and be with her.
"I used to think that kind of 'happiness' would last forever." Yun Yuqing chuckled at her past self, her tone growing increasingly heavy.
Then... that day came.
Everything was shattered.
It was early one morning when Yun Yuqing, who lived in the school dormitory, suddenly received a phone call from Aya. Yun Yuqing still can't forget that call; every syllable is still etched in her mind.
Then... Yun Yuqing gave up her dormitory room at school and moved back home.
But in that house, she was all alone.
“Since then, Aya has been with me. She is my only…family.”
Yun Yuqing's tone remained low, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she were lost in memories. "We lived together, sleeping in the same bed. Every morning, Aya would get up very early to make breakfast, while I would stay in bed until she brought breakfast over to call me to go to school... Those were truly happy times, although I would often suddenly think of... think of the days we lived next door, and back then Aya would hug me, I would cry, and she would cry too, she would even shed tears before me, haha, so silly." Yun Yuqing sniffed and wiped away the tears that had quietly slid down her face.
"Then, I remember that day was Aya's birthday," Yun Yuqing continued. "I prepared a birthday present for her, and a cake, all of which I bought with the money I earned from my part-time job. Aya was very happy, and she cried again. I was also very happy, and we were happy together from morning till night."
"Then, I said that to Aya."
“I…I was serious at the time, but Aya wasn’t. She just replied with ‘I know,’ and then acted like nothing had happened.”
Despite trying to maintain a calm expression, Yun Yuqing's tone was not as composed as her expression suggested. "I asked her why she didn't want to be with me. She replied: We've always been together. As long as I want, she will always be with me."
“I was very content. After that, I didn’t say anything more until one day, I overheard Aya talking on the phone with someone. I heard her say that she rejected a marriage proposal from someone else in order to take care of me, all for me… Then, I left.”
Yun Yuqing paused for a moment, seemingly to calm herself, before continuing, "I have to leave, because if I don't, Aya will never pursue her own happiness... I can't become an obstacle to her happiness. I know Aya will still consider me her younger sister, but she will consider my feelings, she will care about what I think, so she will reject men who are suitable for her because of me... all because of what I said. I don't want Aya to get married, because that would make me feel like my Aya has been stolen away by someone else, and by a man at that. But I don't want that... I can't stop Aya from getting the happiness that belongs to her, that's what she deserves, I can't do that, I don't have that right."
After saying this, Yun Yuqing paused for a long time. She seemed unable to break free from this memory until Shen Haoyu placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Speaking of which, it was Aya who taught me..." Yun Yuqing suddenly spoke up. She looked at Shen Haoyu, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat unnatural. "She taught me that kind of feeling isn't true love, and I also realized—I don't like women, I just like Aya, I've always admired her. Then, I started to change myself, I wanted to become like Aya."
Yun Yuqing seemed a little shy when she said this. She covered her face, and her long black hair fell down, covering her entire face.
Shen Haoyu then reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms.
"I believe what you said... but even so, you don't need to care so much, do you?"
"Of course I'll care! Because, because I like you now... But I can't forget Aya. The day before you came back, I called Aya. Doesn't this make it seem like I'm cheating on you...?"
As Shen Haoyu listened to Yun Yuqing's voice getting softer and softer, and her tone becoming more and more awkward, he finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha, no, nothing...hehe, haha, hahahaha."
"You're still laughing!" Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the food delivery driver's loud voice came in.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around." Shen Haoyu looked at Aya with a big smile and said, "I ordered eight-treasure porridge, with sugar, do you want some?"
Shen Haoyu knew that Yun Yuqing only liked to eat one kind of porridge in the morning, and it had to be sweet, so he made a special note of this when he placed the order.
Yun Yuqing's face was still full of shame and indignation, but her stomach made a loud rumbling sound at an inopportune moment.
Then, under Shen Haoyu's amused gaze, Yun Yuqing finally couldn't take it anymore and jumped off the bed.
"Coming, coming! I'll open the door soon... Oh, right, it's my takeout order. Thank you, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Shen Haoyu watched Yun Yuqing's retreating figure, and a smile returned to his face.
