The Moonlight Fades, Love Never Comes Back

Emily didn’t like breakfast, was very picky and had a bad stomach.

I took great effort to learn all kinds of nutritious meals and cooked them to her taste, which helped her develop a habit of eating regularly. But she seemed to take my efforts for granted. She would never sweetly praise me for my attentiveness and gentleness again and would only blame and complain when I was negligent.

Emily seemed to remember that she had left me behind last night and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face.

"Forget it, just don't forget it next time." After saying that, she walked away on her own, not noticing my emotions at all.

But I didn't feel hurt in my heart, as if I had gotten used to it.

The busy work allowed me to forget Emily for a short time. After get off work, it was still early, so I came to the swimming pool I often go to by myself, wanting to exercise and relax.

Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance here.

In the swimming pool, Emily was wearing a purple swimsuit, with fair skin and a seductive figure. She was leaning against Louis beside her, her eyes smiling and full of love. After the two separated, they chased and played in the swimming pool again and Emily's face was full of shy smiles.

I thought I would be very angry, but I was calm. I just made a quick decision.

I turned and walked towards the dressing room, not wanting to stay here any longer.

Louis spotted me with his sharp eyes and shouted loudly.

"Jeremy! You are here to swim too!"

After I fell in love with Emily, I began to slowly approach her. As a result, I got to know her better and knew that she was humorous, cheerful and lively. Not only was she full of vitality, but she was also sincere to everyone.

Once, Emily and I were walking on the street and ran into an old lady. The old lady grabbed my sleeve and accused me of deliberately bumping into her. She wanted me to take her to the hospital for a check-up, as if she had blackmailed me.

I was a silent person and not very good at speaking, so it was difficult for me to get away. Emily rolled up her sleeves and argued with the old lady for half an hour and finally the old lady ran away in anger.

At that time, Emily smiled with her eyebrows curved, saying that she would always stand by my side and would never leave me alone.

At that moment, I was completely dumbfounded. I knew that Emily had a memorable and vigorous love. But I thought I could impress her with my sincerity and we could be together forever. But in the end, it was just my wishful thinking.

I opened my phone and saw the picture that Louis posted. In the picture, Emily was smiling and her eyes were shining. They went to their old school, the bookstores and cafes they often visited and the park where they left beautiful memories.

[Reliving the good old days with Little Emily, when we were young and loved passionately and bravely.]

I laughed bitterly, but my heart was already numb. Emily and Louis, they left a deep mark in each other's youth. It was not something that an outsider like me could break into.

I clicked a thumbs up, then clicked delete on Louis's WhatsApp.

I was drunk, I blew the cool breeze and went back to my room to rest. I had a high fever in the middle of the night. In a half-awake state, there was a pair of gentle hands holding me to drink water and feeding me medicine. That hands also brought a cold towel to cover my forehead.

But the smell was the fragrance of Emily's body. I couldn't help but want to get closer, closer.
