When we were studying, we had always read the word fate. At that time, we were too stubborn to believe it, thinking that as long as we worked hard, we would have hope.

Later, when I met more people and heard more stories, I suddenly realized that fate is really important.

Just like Zhang Ailing said, when you meet the person you meet among millions of people, there is no step too early or one step too late. If you happen to catch up, maybe the story will begin.

Either earlier or later, you may just miss it.

But meeting the person you like at the most inappropriate time is always inevitable.

My friend Bella broke up with her boyfriend not long ago, and the reasons for the breakup were somewhat strange.

The boy told Bella that he could not forget his ex-girlfriend, so he could only say sorry to Bella, and then hastily ended his 100-day relationship with Bella.

Bella met the boy at a travel dating event. The boy's melancholy temperament and handsome face entered Bella's heart at the first sight.

Afterwards, Bella kept looking for boys to play with when she had nothing to do. The boy told Bella honestly that he had just broken up and could not accept Bella for the time being. Bella told her to wait until the boy was willing to accept her.

Maybe the boy really needed company, or maybe Bella moved the boy, and the two came together naturally.

Later, as the two gradually came into contact with each other, Bella discovered that she really liked boys and treated them with great care. Some people are like this. You can't tell what's good about them, but you just like them very much.

However, in later life, boys still always inadvertently think of the shadow of their ex, and they always treat Bella hot and cold.

It’s just that every time a boy becomes cold to Bella, he always feels that he owes Bella and feels very guilty, so he will be warm to Bella for a few days, and then become cold again... and it goes on and on.

So Bella was always unhappy, but she couldn't bear to leave the boy. Then Bella accidentally heard Mayday's contentment one day, and suddenly made up her mind and took the initiative to break up with the boy.

If your happiness is not for me, you will have it if you let go.

Maybe it hurts and makes me sad when I let you go, but if I can't bring you a smile, I would rather you fly in a direction that can make you happy.

My friend Kuan also has a similar story. He fell in love with a girl at the most inappropriate time and at the most inappropriate distance.

The meeting between Kuan and the girl may be said to be fate. If it were earlier, if it were later, they might not meet each other.

What's even more coincidental is that they both like Mayday, and they all also like the song "Gentleness". The girl even sang the song "Gentleness" to A Kuan on the phone.

So in the beginning, Kuan would always wonder if he had lived such a hard life just to accumulate luck to meet girls.

The relationship between the two people was always so close in the beginning, so good that they could freely tell each other anything private, except for confessing their love.

It’s just that the distance between the two people spans 1,700 kilometers, so Akuan’s love has become useless. Apart from good morning and night, it seems that there is nothing else that Akuan can do, so Akuan I can only accompany you quietly and hide my love.

One day later, the girl told A Kuan that there was a new handsome young man in the company, and she liked him very much, but she didn’t know whether she should pursue him or not. After all, girls should be more reserved.

Ah Kuan helped the girl with advice while secretly feeling sad.

Later, the girl really got together with the boy, and Kuan's love for him became like a useless thing. But girls still regard A Kuan as their best friend, and they will still talk to him about their worries and unhappiness from time to time.

Ah Kuan thought, this is fine. If you can't hug, then just stay with him quietly. Just like Ashin sang:

When a gust of wind blows, the kite flies into the sky, I pray for you, and I am moved by the blessings. The contented happiness makes me endure the heartache.

The joy of contentment makes me endure heartache.

I think many people will meet such a person. At the first sight, you like him very much, but you can't hug and hold hands and keep moving forward with him.

So many times we would rather retreat to the position of good friends and continue to pay attention silently from a distance as friends. Seeing him happy will make us happy too.

Rene Liu sang in "I Love You Very Much," "I love you very much, so I am willing and willing to let you fly to a happier place."

So, if your happiness is not because of me, then I am willing to let go and let you fly to a place that can make you happier.
