The body gently descends. Her knee touches his knee, and she slowly extends her hand, one hand gently gripping his arm, the other hand caressing his cheek. Her eyes gradually redden, seemingly with pity, yet also with longing, as she gently strokes his face. "This is a face I’m very familiar with, and a face I will never forget for the rest of my life." Tears begin to gather in her eyes. "It’s my fault, my stubbornness caused you harm. I held tightly to the past, unwilling to let go. I also wondered if I was too selfish. I blindly thought that if only you remembered the past, recalled those things from before, our family could be together again. But I never asked you if you wanted to remember, whether you wanted to recall those things from before." She smiles slightly, and tears start to pour down. "We both made mistakes, but the biggest mistake was mine. I shouldn’t have used witchcraft on you without consent, shouldn’t have opened the floodgate of emotions. Perhaps if things stayed as they were before, if life continued as such, you might have been more relaxed, more free than now. It was me who led you astray." But it was all too late. "Zhi Chen, I miss you so much. The person I love is the past you." She leans forward and hugs him gently. She buries her face in his shoulder, like a cat, gently rubbing against it. Her voice is now choked with sobs. "Why can’t you give me a little more time? Why does it have to shine on me so quickly? And why must you say these things..." Some words, once spoken, cannot be taken back. She once held onto a beautiful fantasy, took everything for granted. She made a big mistake, and so she encountered setbacks. She agreed to Shu Yu’s proposal to move out from the Blue mansion because she wanted serenity, wanted to think carefully, but after understanding his current thoughts, how could she... She sobs, "I love you deeply, but you know well, the person I love is not the current you. This affection has become your burden, causing you pain. I’m sorry I can’t reciprocate your current feelings, I’m sorry..." Other than that, she can’t say anything more. Suddenly rising, she walks towards the outside. The soul she loves is in slumber. The current him is both him and not him. Humans truly are a complex species, or perhaps she herself is too complicated. She can’t just love an unfamiliar personality, an unfamiliar person solely because of a face. She has always been slow and dull in love, and her feelings for Zhi Chen are built on shared life-and-death experiences, not the shallow love at first sight, but born from those shared experiences. She admires his sense of responsibility, and feels heartache for his burdens and heaviness. She loves the Liang family’s eldest son, the big brother to his siblings, not this... brand new, completely different person, who only looks exactly like the former Zhi Chen... As he catches up with his wife, he can’t help but look back at the eldest brother still kneeling at the courtyard entrance, seeing him in a dazed and lost state. He couldn’t help but press his thin lips together. Although he always mocked his eldest brother with cold sarcasm these days, seeing him now so desolate and dejected, he also felt bad inside...
