He continued down his dark path, lost in his own excesses.
Wanda couldn’t bear it any longer and confronted him again. "When will you become a good boy?"
Jazzy stepped closer to her and kissed her for the first time. It was a deep, lingering kiss that lasted for ten minutes. With their breath mingling, both of their eyes turned hazy and unclear.
For the first time, Wanda let everything go and held Jazzy tightly without hesitation.
Jazzy said with a hint of mischief, "If you want me to be a good boy, then you have to be my girlfriend."
This time, Wanda didn’t hesitate. "I promise you. I love you. I’ll love you to death in this life and I’ll never leave you."
Jazzy smiled and teased, "Really? Can you swear it?"
Without thinking, Wanda raised her hand. "I swear, I, Wanda, will love Jazzy until death. If I break this promise, God—"
Before she could finish, Jazzy silenced her with another kiss. That kiss was sweet—so sweet.
Wanda felt like her life had never been so free, so blissful, so utterly comforting.
She felt that this must be her whole life and she would die without regrets. But just nine days later, Jazzy proposed to break up.
The reason was: "You don't love me anymore."
"If you love me, why don’t you want to drink with me, sleep with me, go wild with me and be crazy with me? If you love me, you will accept everything about me and enjoy everything about me—my strengths, my flaws, what I like and what I hate. You have to embrace them all. If you love me, you will accept everything unconditionally, won’t you?"
That was the first time Wanda, known as the strongest academic achiever, had been asked a question she could not answer.
For the first time in her life, she couldn’t solve the equation. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t figure it out. She truly didn’t know how to answer this question.
Until three days later, when Wanda realized she truly couldn’t lose Jazzy. She began trying to accept the answer he had given her and do what he asked.
Until now. Wanda felt she had done everything Jazzy demanded, enduring all his rationality and irrationality. The 999th breakup. Just one more time to make it perfect.
