The boy dressed in clean clothes walked without really understanding what was happening on campus. From the entrance it was possible to see the large auditorium decorated with balloons. On the large banner hanging outside, the name of the drama club's staging could be read: "Zi Lian" – adaptation of "Zombie Love" by Japanese mystery book author, Xia Ye Yuanzi – which told the story of some corpses discovered, one after another, in a high school.
However, in the house of each victim some body parts of the other corpses had been found and, during the investigation, it came to light that the main suspects were the same classmates. The brutal killings had been classified as acts to satisfy sexual addiction, for which some body parts had been removed.
"Truly..."
With an ironic smile the boy looked at the sentence painted on the banner; it had been written in red paint and he wondered if it was true. It was Murphy's law, the less you want to make mistakes, the more you'll make them; the less you want to meet someone, the more you will meet them.
Only those heartbroken by love could find themselves watching the rehearsal of "Zi Lian" (Zombie Love) as he wandered aimlessly.
The white balloons and decorations made him walk towards the crowded stage set up by members of the drama club. He couldn't help but sit center stage and watch his classmates rehearse, making fun of himself.
"I can't even talk about what it's like to lose love and end a relationship..."
It was the feelings that he hadn't had the chance to say and that he hadn't even been able to call love... How could he think he had lost it?
Why do you like Fang Zheng Wen?
Why can't I be the one you like?
I'm not enough?
Or am I not worthy to be loved?
Those self-pitying questions kept popping into his mind; however, there was only one answer given by reason: Jiang Yu Xin liked Fang Zheng Wen.
Why do you like Fang Zheng Wen?
She just likes it.
Why can't I be the one you like?
Because you are not him.
I'm not enough?
No matter how good you are, Fang Zheng Wen is still the only one she likes.
Am I not worthy to be loved?
I have to let her go! I have to let go of the feelings that don't belong to me and go towards that person waiting for me in the future, the one who really likes me, someone who likes me just because it's me.
"Excuse me, but we're starting rehearsals and we'll need the chair you're sitting in." The girl wearing a white dress approached Zhou Shu Yi and spoke politely.
"Sorry, I'm leaving now."
The person who had regained his senses immediately stood up and stepped off the stage that belonged to his true masters, the expression on his face no longer gloomy. However, he hadn't noticed that in a corner there was the boy who always followed him and watched him... he wasn't alone.
****************
A few days later, near the Faculty of Economics building, Fang Zheng Wen saw Zhou Shu Yi sitting by the lotus pond in the distance.
"Shu Yi..." said Fang Zheng Wen looking at Zhou Shu Yi's back, while whispering his name with emotion.
Ever since that boy had come across Jiang Yu Xin's confession, he had deliberately avoided meeting him at group classes, student canteen, with the KTV singing group, and even at communal dinners or karaoke.
