Jing Xin recalled the Qingming Festival, when she brought a large bunch of chrysanthemums. Walking past cold tombstones, she was horrified to realize that almost everyone she cared about lay there, which reminded her of Jiang Xiang Yang, the man etched in her heart.
Six years had passed swiftly. She was no longer the naive girl she once was, and he had surely become even more charming.
At the pier, they had parted ways, and in those six years, she hadn’t seen him. Three years ago, Jiang Xiang Yang had San Bao deliver a message:
She should no longer wait for him, forget him, and live her own life.
When San Bao handed her a bank card with two million yuan, Jing Xin silently accepted it. After San Bao left, she locked herself in a dark room, curling up and hugging her cold body—a sign of her lost and hurt feelings. That night, her tears flowed as she repeatedly questioned:
Jiang Xiang Yang, how could you do this?
She remembered that morning when the light spilled through the curtains, and he solemnly told her, “You must wait for me.”
Closing her eyes, a cold tear slid down. “Xiang Yang, how could you do this? I don’t believe you would abandon me.”
On the third day, she went to Macau, but he avoided her. His subordinates coldly informed her that Jiang Xiang Yang was busy and asked her to return to City A.
Stubborn, she waited outside the door, unable to believe he wouldn’t see her after she traveled so far.
A torrential rain poured down, washing away her tears and soaking her clothes. The cold rain drenched her all night, extinguishing her hope. The next day, despite her fever, she waited at the entrance from sunrise to sunset, feeling as if he no longer wanted her.
Jing Xin stared at her shadow stretched by the setting sun, her heart sliced open, indescribable pain sweeping through her. She finally believed Jiang Xiang Yang didn’t want her anymore.
But why was her heart still making excuses for him?
Their relationship had never been equal. From the beginning, she had loved first, her love penetrating deep into her bones.
