On the way, neither of them spoke again, and Ji Niandong's tears had already dried up. She just sat beside him blankly with her eyes wide open. When the car stopped, she suddenly seemed to wake up, unfastened the seatbelt, and pushed the door open to leave. Lu Beichen grabbed her arm and opened his mouth to say, "Tongtong, I love..."
"Don't say it!" She interrupted him, "Saying it now makes it seem cheap! Or maybe you just want to trick me into being a compliant Mrs. Lu?"
Lu Beichen slowly let go of her hand, feeling that at this moment, she was strangely unfamiliar. Her expression and coldness were just like back then.
If he could have understood at that time, would all of this have happened? But if he could have understood back then, would he have cherished it so much?
As his hand loosened, Ji Niandong turned away without hesitation.
