Chapter 30：School Anniversar

like me a bit, similar to how I enjoy eating braised fish. His fondness is for an object, not for a person."

“他可能对我有好感，就好比我喜欢吃红烧鱼一样，他的喜欢是对一样东西的喜欢，而不是对一个人的喜欢。”

"How so?"

“这如何讲？”

"Firstly, I don''t know him, and I don''t recall ever speaking with him before. There''s no such thing as love at first sight or falling in love after just two meetings. It''s too far-fetched to claim you like someone you don''t even know!"

“第一，我不认识他，我也不记得我以前有和他说过一句话，这世上哪有那么多一见钟情，两见倾心的？对一个根本不认识的人说喜欢这也太虚了吧！”

"But what if he has silently observed and paid attention to you?"

“万一他一直默默地关注着你，悄悄地注意着你呢？”

"That might be possible in this world, but it certainly won''t be him."

“可能这世上有这种可能，但是绝不可能会是他。”

"Why are you so sure?"

“为什么这么笃定？”

"Because his way of expressing love is far too direct, and love conveyed in such a simplistic manner may lack sincerity. True love is the kind that is silent and not expressed casually because when you truly love someone, you are afraid of losing them. Confessing to someone takes a lot of courage, and if it''s true love, the person confessing will only act after ensuring the other person also has feelings for them. How can someone like him, who uses love as a mere verbal expression without any genuine sincerity, I doubt someone like him even understand what love truly is. Moreover, he made it public without my consent, which shows he is selfish and doesn''t consider the impact and consequences would have on me. How can someone who can''t empathize with others qualify to use the word ''love'' ?"

“因为他表达爱的方式太过直白，用这么简单的方式说出来的爱基本也不会有多少爱意。真正的爱是那种悄无声息的，是那种不会随意表白的人，因为真爱一个人就害怕失去。而向一个人表白是需要很大的勇气的，如果是真爱，那个表白的人一定是在确定对方也对自己有好感才会付出行动，哪有像他这样的爱只是口头禅，不入心的？我看他那种人根本就不知道什么是爱情。况且他没有经过我的同意就把事情弄得全校皆知，这种人是自私的，他完全不考虑这样做会给对方带来多少影响和后果。一个连换位思考都做不到的人如何能用爱这个字来诠释？”
