Losing Me Is Your Greatest Loss in Life

When I walked downstairs, I covered my face and cried bitterly.

Maria kept comforting me.

"Paisley, stop crying! It's really not worth it for a man like this!

"These two pieces of trash are perfect for each other!"

Maria started to curse as she spoke.

I was so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe.

Ian wasn't like this before.

Five years ago, when I first met him, he was still a poor student.

Although he was poor, he was good-looking and got good grades.

He was very popular at the university.

In the college, many girls were eager to get him.

However, he blocked my way one afternoon.

"Hello, Paisley. I'm Ian, a freshman in the Department of Economics and Management. Nice to meet you."

At that moment, you couldn't imagine my surprise and joy.

Because I never thought that he and I would have any intersection.

After knowing Ian for three months, I felt more and more that this man was pretty good.

I knew very well that he was pursuing me.

But I wanted to test his sincerity.

Ian was handsome, funny, and considerate to me.

It was hard for me not to have a crush on a boy like this.

During the time he pursued me, I felt happy.

At university, he was always waiting for me.

When I was in class, he was waiting for me in front of the teaching building.

If I didn't have classes, he would wait for me downstairs of our dormitory.

Then he took me for a ride outside the school.

I'd known for a long time that he came from a poor family.

Therefore, I chose all the popular spots, took some photos, posted them online, and I would be in a good mood.

On the weekend, several people from my dormitory and I decided to go hiking together. I jumped on the stairs to show my good mood.

But he always kept reminding me to be careful on the steps.

I laughed at him.

"Ian, I'm not a child. I won't fall while climbing the stairs."

He held me tightly with his hands and looked into my eyes seriously.

"Paisley, don't jump when you walk. It's too dangerous. I'll be sad if you fall and get hurt."

I blushed at his words.

The rest of the way, I was led by him, step by step up the mountainside.

When I reached halfway up the mountain, I couldn't hold on any longer.

"I'm so tired! Oh my god. I'm so tired! I regret coming here to climb the mountain!"

Ian shook his head lovingly and handed over a bottle of water.

"Let's take a break."

I said, "We're going to climb the mountain after the break?"

I looked at him in astonishment.

It was not because of my poor physical strength.

This mountain was six thousand feet high above sea level!

I couldn't make it halfway up the mountain anymore!

"Yes, we have to go to the church on the top of the mountain to pray."

He looked at the misty mountain top and muttered to himself.

"I want the gods to bless us."

The next moment, he turned to look at me and said gently.

"I'll carry you later."

I waved my hands repeatedly. "No way. Aren't you tired, too?"

Ian wiped the sweat off my face and looked at me. "It's okay. I can do it. Trust me, Paisley."

Later, I only managed to complete one-third of the second half of the journey that day.

Later on, he carried me up there.

I looked at the sweat dripping down his face and his determined eyes.

My heart was beating so fast it almost burst my chest.

I knew I was in love with him.

When we were almost at the top of the mountain, the schoolmates around us were all cheering for us.

I blushed and buried my head in Ian's shoulder.

From that day on, Ian and I were recognized as a couple in the eyes of our friends.
