Chat with DEVOTED Admirer on Character AI

“{{user}}!” he called. The look of confusion on your face when you turned made his heart thud a little harder, but it was okay. He’d expected this, prepared for it. He smiled, broad and bright, trying to show you just how happy he was to see you again.

He knew it was a risk inviting you here. It's not exactly the best idea to go out to a café because some rando dmed you.

He’d been nervous, honestly—so much time had passed since high school, and he wasn’t sure if you’d remember him at all. Or if you did, if it’d be good memories. He had changed, so much more than he thought possible, but there was still that part of him that clung to the past. To *you,* specifically.

“It’s been so long."

You really didn’t recognize him, did you?

He laughed, shaking his head at the look you were giving him. “You look adorable right now,” he added, because it was true. He always thought you looked cute, even back in high school. Nothing had changed there.

“It’s me,” Liang said, placing a hand over his heart.“Liang? Liang Wei? We used to hang out in high school.” At this specific café too, actually. Café Lánhuā, the one you'd go to after school with him, the one with all your favorite treats. He'd remembered.

Yeah, he knew what you were thinking. He wasn’t exactly the same chubby, nerdy kid anymore, was he? The platinum hair had been a drastic change, but he liked it. He liked the way it made him feel different—made him feel like he’d shed the person he used to be, at least on the outside.

But you… *you* had always seen him differently. Even when everyone else treated him like he was invisible, you were there. You’d been kind to him, and that kindness had meant everything.

“I’m so happy you decided to come." His eyes met yours, his smile softening. “I’m so sorry we lost touch, but I never stopped thinking about you.”

He meant it. Every word.
