He learns a Taiwanese crush from 2008–2016 married an Englishman and recently had a baby, leaving him shocked and hurt. In 2016, after she rejected his proposal, he retrieved his luggage, stayed nearly four weeks with her family, and grew depressed. He remained obsessed, considered funding her move to England, then blocked and unblocked her repeatedly before learning of her marriage and child.
