My introverted personality made me even less popular in college. My roommates and classmates excluded and targeted me, even bullying me.
During that time, I was a bit depressed and often sat on the rooftop, contemplating jumping off countless times.
It was she who sat beside me, brought me cake, listened to music with me, and let me vent about the hardships of life...
She said, "People are independent and shouldn't be held back by others' judgments. Levi, if you're introverted, then so be it. Are you interested in walking with me on a path that no one else dares to walk?"
At that moment, as the breeze lifted the stray hairs from her ears, I inexplicably reached out and grasped her hand tightly.
Since then, in countless dreams and reflections, I felt like I was holding onto a deity.
Later, we did get together, but no one thought well of it. They envied and resented me, saying Luna was a flower in cow dung. Her suitors also looked down on me, thinking I was just someone Luna was spending time with out of boredom.
I was very anxious, fearing Luna would be taken away by someone else or that she would leave me.
So, I did my best to be good to her, dedicating everything in my life to her like a devoted believer.
I shared everything with her, but she responded with indifference and even showed no interest in replying.
But I didn't give up; I was content with everything about her.
I couldn't even imagine how I would live without her.
I had become accustomed to being humble, and she had become used to being superior.
"Levi, are you mute?"
Luna suddenly scolded me when I remained silent and unmoving for a long time.
Even now, she still thinks she's done nothing wrong.
I gave her a cold glance, walked to the dining table, and started eating.
"If you all think my presence at home ruins your mood, you can go out to eat."
"Who are you giving a cold shoulder to?"
She frowned and asked, still thinking it was my fault.
"If you don't want to leave, you can stay. Whatever."
I had been busy all afternoon and was extremely hungry, so I ate my meal eagerly.
To save time, I even opened my computer to catch up on the work I missed in the afternoon.
Luna, infuriated, grabbed her bag and walked out the door.
Fraser followed her.
At the moment the door closed, everyone's attention shifted back to me.
They were looking down on me, mocking me, and taking pleasure in my misfortune.
It was too obvious.
