Title Love Endures Spoiler
Jiangyi is different in the present compared to the past because he feels like his feelings were never reciprocated. On top of that, his crush/love presumably liked their best friend (I know she had her reasons). We have seen Jianyi do a lot of things in the past that were clear actions showing how he treated her special compared to the other girls in the friend group, however I do not think FL's actions towards him have shown her feelings to that extent. ML left behind his entire friendgroup and also was heartbroken and felt no one was on his side when he was going abroad. So, I completely understand why he is afraid to open up and be vulnerable now in front of the FL and also other friends. His actions are frustating but also the FL's and no matter how much I try to understand her intentions, I feel like even now she does not prioritize conveying her feelings and that only makes the ML insecure. She doesn't have to stick to him 24/7 but at least show via actions in that limited time with him that you romantically care for him like he does (he helps look for the friend's dad even when he's busy, is always there for her, brings her soup when she's sick, tries to fulfill all her requests, etc). She also says she's just an admirer of the writer, but her actions from a 3rd person POV seem like she likes him (I know she feels for the guy because he wants to end his life but the ML doesn't know that). She repetitively puts the author first and Jiangyi feels like he's been replaced. He thinks they cannot return to how they used to be. I feel for him because he just doesn't want to lose everything as he's still recovering from his past heartbreak. At first glance, Jiangyi seems like a boring character but with everything that happened I can see why he's so hesistant to share his feelings. He's literally been living like a shell.
