“Hmm.””Imagine she’s doing well. She’s happy. Even if that happiness isn’t from me—” Zhou Linchuan gazed at the ceiling, smiling as he said, “That’s how I got through it back then.””How long did it take?””Half a year? A year?””That’s a long time.””Yes, it was very long. I was an orphan, with no family, living like an ant. She made me feel like a person. For that alone, even if she doesn’t love me, no matter how wronged I feel, I can’t resent her.””Compared to you, I seem quite fortunate.””More than fortunate? You’ve hit the jackpot.” Zhou Linchuan had once been very envious of him, but only now did he reveal it: “You had her, and her daughter, you have an unbreakable bond. We had nothing. I tried to leave something in her life, even if it was just in her daughter’s life.” In the past, hearing these words would have made him furious, but now, each word felt poignant. Jiang Boyuan couldn’t help but ask, “You haven’t let her go?””Why should I let go? I love her, she’s the one I love most in this world. Once a solitary person finds love, they become obsessed. However, I don’t want to disturb her with this love. She is free.” With this thought, he seemed less deep in love than him. Jiang Boyuan closed his eyes, his mood gradually calming. Cherishing what he had, searching for what was lost. One day, two days, the future was long, he shouldn’t despair so quickly. While waiting for his daughter at the kindergarten, he posted a line on Weibo: [Maybe you’ll see this. Maybe you won’t. I just want to tell you, I’ll keep looking for you. Yingying, are you well? Wherever you are, I hope you are healthy and happy.] In the basement, Lin Jingan showed her the phone: “Such devotion! He knows you might have disappeared on purpose, yet he still professes his love loudly. Is he trying to make you change your mind? Aying, tell me, is he trying to provoke me?” Xu Xiangying said nothing, not wanting to provoke him. Lin Jingan was a madman! He lunged at her, biting her shoulder where old wounds hadn’t healed, adding new ones. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. He lay in her arms, chuckling lowly, “I need to do something. Aying, don’t blame me.”Author’s Note: Thank you for your support.
Xu Xiangying’s face changed when she heard his laughter: “What do you want to do? Lin Jingan, don’t do anything crazy! If you hurt them, I’ll never forgive you. Really! I’ll kill you!” She glared at him with hatred, her eyes fierce like a mad beast. Lin Jingan remained unmoved, gently ruffling her hair: “Don’t be afraid. Destruction always gives birth to new life.””Madman!””Yes. Exactly.” He admitted, laughing recklessly, “I’m a madman! Mad for you!” She showed weakness, her eyes red, humbly pleading, “Don’t hurt them. Jingan, please. I’m your sister!” “Sister, I love you.” He kissed her forehead, stood up, and strode out of the basement.
