“People complaining about things are such snowflakes. On the other hand, my complaining about people complaining about things makes me a brave, common-sense speaking, salt of the Earth hero. It’s really very simple.”

Episodes 24+30 of Beryl and Sapphire are just. You know it's inevitable even if you don't know the details until it's too late.
But at the same time, the whole deal where it's about memories vs future and the revelation of just how it would spin apart? It would truly have always ended this way because of their respective approaches to memories/the future.
Xiao Lu couldn't bear remaining friends with Xiao Lan when the confession went south. He couldn't stay, not with the regrets of living alongside him with that knowledge. He only had the hope to confess in the first place because he didn't know what would cause their parting. And in doing so, he sealed their fate.
So he chose to leave, despite being desperate for them not to part ways when he thought that he could do something about it.
Whilst Xiao Lan knew the entire time from when they met how it would end. He had that knowledge all along, but still chose to befriend Xiao Lu. Xiao Lan thought Xiao Lu the most important person in his life (and he was, to the end) which is why the moment where they both switch places hits so hard. Xiao Lan held onto the future knowledge (his potential regrets) until he hit the point where Xiao Lu left and at that point, he chose to forget, to no longer live with the regrets. He chose to live in the future even when he had the option of the past.
Whilst for Xiao Lu, the person who couldn't bear to keep Xiao Lan in his life, dedicated years to researching ways to help Xiao Lu. He always remembered for them both.
Only one of them ever remembered their whole relationship at one time. But they were still thankful to each other.
