Like Love But Not

10- Tragedy's End

He worked like he usually did and was busy holding a concert in the capital city.

During this period of time, his schedule was packed, and he became thinner.

He didn’t know how to make a proper meal. If he was hungry, he would eat instant noodles without any regard for his own health. He basically played with his life.

During his concert, he added in an additional song of his own accord named “Like Love But Not”.

It was a song he never released before, and it was first brought to light during the concert. The fans must have been pleasantly surprised.

The song was dedicated to me. Unfortunately, I only realized this fact after half the song passed and I couldn’t remember some of the lyrics.

The girls below the stage were screaming with great enthusiasm, so it felt less vivid for me listening on stage.

This song was clearly called “Like Love But Not”, but the entire song was only about “love”. I couldn’t hear any part of the song about “not”.

The song was simple yet unique. It described two people’s day. It began in the morning when a cup of milk was served in a coffee cup and ended with how I peeped at him sleeping at night.

He actually noticed those.

I wondered why. This song had such a lively melody, but it sounded so sad and full of uncertainty.

The girls in the front row were all moved to tears by Luo Yuchen’s song.

His every move affected many people’s hearts, yet he didn’t care at all.

No matter how many people liked him and loved him, he didn’t care.

Luo Yuchen was a being that was so unique, cold, heartless, cruel, and heartbreaking.

I once had him for myself. I felt so proud. it was wonderful.

Why did I let go?

How could I bear to let go?

How foolish of me.

That night, Luo Yuchen’s blog was so active that it almost crashed. Many girl fanatics discussed the new song, talking about Luo Yuchen’s handsomeness and guessing about the story behind the song.

As for Luo Yuchen, he only skimmed through the comment page.

I guess he was looking for me.

He must have known that I would often vilely argue with the “Fishies” and “Daisies”.

“Fishies” referred to Luo Yuchen’s fans, and “Daisies” referred to Xia Mingxiu’s fans. There wasn’t actually much difference between the fans. Since the two of them were close friends, those that liked Luo Yuchen would usually like Xia Mingxiu as well. Similarly, those that liked Xia Mingxiu would usually like Luo Yuchen.

The fans were very creative. All these fan names were from literary word plays. For Luo Yuchen, it was “Breathtaking Beauty Luo Yuchen”. For Xia Mingxiu, it was “Beautiful Like A Summer Flower”.[1] The word play for their names could also be paired together.

On his blog, I used the user ID of “Cooking Fishes And Destroying Flowers” to refute the various discussions going around, and I eventually became the source of discord on the site.

It was just my ugly, jealous heart at work.

Surprisingly, there were a few of those girls who often argued with me that missed me now that I was gone. Some of their messages were asking, “Where has that cooking and destroying person who always sowed discord gone to?”
