But it wasn't just that.
The breakup between Bo Yan and Xia Siyu stemmed from a multitude of reasons.
There was no betrayal, no arguments, and not even a cold war before.
But the signs had already appeared.
Beyond the two points mentioned above, he thought, upon reflection, that perhaps there was another.
Even then, Bo Yan had not paid much attention to his girlfriend. At least, not as shamelessly as he does now, wishing he could stick to her 24 hours a day.
He certainly liked her, but since Xia Siyu wasn't clingy, he didn't cling to her either.
It's a common flaw among men, thinking that it's enough to cherish and love their girlfriends. But men have their social circles, ambitions, work, and ideals. It's not that he valued his friends more, but because his girlfriend was already part of the family, it inadvertently created a blind spot in his vision, making it seem like the boyfriend was growing less considerate.
