The Regret in Goodbye

In that familiar yet unfamiliar corner of the city, Lin Xiao and Chen Yu's story was like a faded painting, gradually mottled by the erosion of time.

Lin Xiao and Chen Yu were once an enviable couple. They had met in university, and their love was pure and passionate. They left their footprints in every corner of the campus, from the tables and chairs in the library to the old tree by the campus lake that witnessed their countless sweet snuggles. After graduation, they lived together in a small apartment with a vision for the future. Although the space was not big, it was full of love and laughter.

However, as time passed, the pressure of reality came like a tide. As Chen Yu continued to encounter setbacks at work, he began to become taciturn. The sunny confidence he once had was gradually replaced by a haze. Lin Xiao's career was steadily rising, but this caused a subtle change in Chen Yu's heart. He felt that he was less and less worthy of Lin Xiao. This inferiority complex and dissatisfaction at work made him moody.

The communication between the two of them became less and less. Lin Xiao tried to comfort Chen Yu, but he coldly responded to her every time. Slowly, the conversation between them was only left with the daily trivialities. The sweet nothings and soul-deep exchanges seemed to have happened in their previous lives.

Once, Lin Xiao worked overtime at the company until very late. When she returned home, she was exhausted. She saw Chen Yu sitting in the dark living room while the television screen flickered with meaningless light. Just as Lin Xiao was about to say something, Chen Yu suddenly said coldly," What's the point of living like this? You're so outstanding. You should find someone better." Lin Xiao was stunned. She wanted to refute him and tell him that she had never thought of this before, but Chen Yu's eyes were filled with determination.

In the days that followed, their relationship became even more tense. The quarrels continued, and every quarrel seemed to cut another hole in their relationship. Finally, on a drizzling evening, Lin Xiao and Chen Yu stood face to face. Rain drenched their hair and faces, but it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears.

"Let's break up." Chen Yu's voice was terrifyingly calm.

Lin Xiao looked at him with mixed feelings. The person who she once thought she could hold hands with for the rest of her life was now bidding farewell in such a way. She opened her mouth, but found that her throat seemed to be choked by something. In the end, she only nodded gently.

Just like that, they separated. Lin Xiao later heard that Chen Yu had moved to another city and started over. As for herself, she was also working hard to make her life more fulfilling. However, whenever it was late at night, she would always think of the bits and pieces of time she spent with Chen Yu. Those memories were like a double-edged sword. They made her feel warm and heartbroken.

Many years later, Lin Xiao and Chen Yu met again at a class reunion. At this moment, they already had their own life trajectories. Chen Yu looked much more mature, and his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life. Lin Xiao also looked like a strong career woman. They looked at each other with surprise and complicated emotions in their eyes.

"How are you?" Chen Yu broke the silence.

"Not bad. How about you?" Lin Xiao tried her best to sound calm.

They talked about some irrelevant topics and deliberately avoided their past feelings. However, when the party ended and Lin Xiao turned around to leave, she could not help but tear up. Their goodbye was filled with regret. Those unfulfilled dreams and unspoken words were buried by the dust of time, leaving only a touch of melancholy in their hearts.
