I took the initiative to add Yolanda on WhatsApp. Since we shared the same interests, our communication was very natural, like old friends who had known each other for many years. We discussed the various issues expressed in the book, such as rationality and soul, scientific belief, and cultural pessimism.
We soon became close friends, and I gradually developed a crush on her.
I carefully planned my pursuit and showed my affection again and again, but Yolanda was always hesitant and silent.
I knew all this was because of Luis, Yolanda's ex-boyfriend.
She told me before that Luis was her first love. They met through her best friend Lily. After they had been together for one year, she found out that Luis had slept with a girl from the same department, and they broke up.
I knew that the emotional trauma left by her first love was difficult to make up for. Yolanda told me that she was afraid of being hurt again, and I promised her that I could wait.
I could accompany her to let her truly accept me.
I pursued her for two years, and finally, on the day of graduation, Yolanda agreed to be my girlfriend.
That day was the happiest day of my life.
