This is a simple story with only two protagonists. Let's call these two protagonists Xiao Yu (male) and Xiao Ping (female) for now.
Stories always have a supervisor's perspective. Although I try to tell this story as objectively as possible, unfortunately, I only know Xiao Yu's perspective of the story.
In early 23, Xiao Yu deleted various contact information of Xiao Ping and sent an email to Xiao Ping, proposing a breakup. The story ends.
In 22, to avoid affecting their studies due to arguments, the communication between the two became less and less.
In 22, the two would end up arguing in various topics due to conflicts in values.
In 22, Xiao Ping obtained a master's degree and started applying for a Ph.D. program.
In 22, Xiao Yu made a major mistake by missing out on submitting a part of the assignment while helping Xiao Ping, resulting in a low score despite the excellent work.
In 22, Xiao Yu helped Xiao Ping with some course assignments.
In 21, the two stayed in touch through video calls and phone calls. Xiao Yu felt that this kind of companionship was not bad.
In 21, the two started a long-distance relationship with a time difference. Xiao Yu slept at two or three in the morning and woke up at eleven, which allowed him to spend an afternoon with Xiao Ping over the phone.
In 21, before parting ways, the two lived together for a period and exposed many issues.
In 21, as graduation approached, Xiao Yu took the postgraduate entrance exam at the local university, while Xiao Ping applied for a graduate program abroad.
In 20, their relationship began to deteriorate. Xiao Yu's sister got married and invited Xiao Ping to attend. Xiao Yu remembered that Xiao Ping was moved to tears listening to the couple's story at the wedding. After the wedding, they walked and talked for a long time.
In 20, the pandemic.
In 19, Xiao Yu went to the ancient internet (laughs).
In 18, during this time, their relationship was good because they had grown up, matured relatively, and taken their relationship seriously. Xiao Yu always remembered what Xiao Ping said to him: "You are truly my pillar."
In 18, they got back together and enrolled in a minor program, giving them the opportunity to be together every weekend.
In 18, Xiao Yu realized that love is only a small part of life and not a necessary part. The fantasies of the past about a lasting relationship were beautiful but not something to be forced.
In 18, they broke up. Xiao Yu was very sad, went to drink with Xiao Wang, didn't eat anything, just drank two bottles of beer, crying and drinking towards the end. Because there were not many people in the restaurant, the waitress came over to comfort him, fearing that he would cry too much. In the end, he was helped back to the dormitory, and as soon as his roommate opened the door, Xiao Yu fell to the ground.
In 17, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ping got back together because they entered university, and their relationship progressed further.
In 17, Xiao Ping came to Xiao Yu's school on weekends to study calculus, linear algebra, and discrete mathematics together.
In 17, they entered university.
In 17, they broke up.
In 17, they applied for colleges. Xiao Ping applied for two and a half days, while Xiao Yu applied for five minutes.
In 17, the college entrance examination.
In 17, as the college entrance examination approached, they discussed their future rationally and realized that they were not suitable for each other. They decided to break up after the exam.
In 17, Xiao Ping woke up at 4 a.m. to do a set of comprehensive science questions, but Xiao Yu couldn't get up early and failed to accompany her.
In 17, Xiao Yu went to Xinhua Bookstore and found a very challenging (interesting) comprehensive science mock exam, bought one for each of them, and did one set every day.
On Xiao Yu's birthday that year, Xiao Ping accepted Xiao Yu's confession, and they officially started dating for the first time.
In 16, Xiao Yu carried his phone to school. Every day after school, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ping had the opportunity to chat on their way home. They would continue talking on the phone until late at night. After hanging up, Xiao Yu would ask Xiao Zhou for the answers to today's homework. Then he would copy them and go to sleep. (There was no happier time than this period.)
In 16, they gradually became closer, but they didn't establish a formal relationship. In Xiao Yu's heart, he had already decided to walk the future path with this girl.
In 16, Xiao Yu started trying to accompany Xiao Ping home but was often rejected.
In 15, Xiao Yu gradually realized that he had fallen for this girl who always had endless topics to talk about every day. In his eyes, no one was smarter, more genuine, more honest, or more beautiful than her. They resonated on many topics and issues, inspiring each other with their viewpoints.
In 15, despite being in different classes, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ping still had a lot to talk about.
In 15, they were separated into different classes. Xiao Yu went to the key class, while Xiao Ping went to the regular class.
In 15, Xiao Yu developed a crush on a girl named Xiao Yi in his class but was unsuccessful in pursuing her. During this time, Xiao Yu and Xiao Ping often talked about this.
In 14, they became classmates and met each other. Xiao Yu's first impression of Xiao Ping was when she ran for class monitor. She seemed beautiful and gentle. However, Xiao Yu didn't think such a gentle person was suitable for being a class monitor, so he didn't vote for her.
