Early in the morning, the door knocked. Zhao Renshu opened his eyes. He slept on the bed alone, while Ping'an fell asleep at the table. He walked to her, picked her up, and lay her on the bed. He saw two sets of clothes on the table, one is white and blue, and the other is black and dark navy blue. He walked to the door and opened. It was Xiao Mei carrying the basket.
Zhao Renshu, "Little sister, do you know it's so early?"
Xiao Mei, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my master wants to give this to Ping'an jiejie."
Ping'an heard Xiao Mei's voice, so she woke up and sat on the bed.
Ping'an, "Xiao Mei, the blue and white robe on the table is for your young master. Tell him that we are going home tomorrow. I want him to send us out and ask him to wear this robe."
Xiao Mei, "I will defiantly let him know."
Xiao Mei walked to the table. She put the basket on the table and picked up the white and blue clothes.
The next day, outside the city gate, a group of friends were waiting for Ping'an and Zhao Renshu. Their small horse carriage stopped before the group of friends. Zhao Renshu and Ping'an got off the horse carriage. Ping'an looked at Guo Baiyu, and she smiled at him. She realized that the four young masters of Peace Town, the two Wu sisters, Guo Yingyu, and even Fang Yaoting were there to send them away. She walked towards Guo Baiyu.
Ping'an smiled at him, "You look very handsome in that robe."
Guo Baiyu handed her a painting, "This is what you want."
Ping'an down the painting, which is a scene of the festival lover's scenery by the creek in Boarders Town.
Ping'an, "Thank you for the good memories."
Guo Baiyu, "See you soon."
Zhao Renshu, "See you in a month." He smiled at Guo Baiyu.
Ping'an smiled at Guo Baiyu, "Baiyu...Do you want to kiss me one last time before we part?"
Everyone gasped. Wu Xiangmei left a dirty expression on Ping'an.
Guo Baiyu put his arms around Ping'an's waist. He pulled her into his embrace and kissed her lips. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips. Zhao Renshu smiled and shook his head. Guo Longtong smiled happily and started flapping his fan up and down. Lee Dachin and Fang Yaoting admitted defeat. The two Wu sisters was full of anger. Guo Yingyu was shocked by Guo Baiyu's actions.
Guo Baiyu whispered in Ping'an's ear, "I love you."
Ping'an whispered, "I love you too."
Guo Yingyu went straight to Guo Baiyu, and pulled him away from Ping'an.
Guo Yingyu said angrily, "You have a fiancée who is standing right there." He pointed at Wu Xiangmei. "Even if you are my elder brother, don't do anything stupid that will make the family lose face." He looked at Ping'an. "Miss Ping'an, you know he has a fiancée, and he will marry her in two months. Why are you doing this?"
Ping'an, "I know." She looked at Guo Yingyu. "You don't have to remind me."
Guo Baiyu, "Yingyu, this is not your place to speak."
Ping'an held Guo Baiyu's hands inside her hands and she smiled at him, "Baiyu, thank you. I really hope that once you marry lady Wu, you will love and accept her. I can tell her that she really loves you."
Guo Baiyu's expression darkened, "Why do you say that?"
Ping'an smiled, "I know that you and Renshu made a three years agreement. We don't have to wait three years before I can choose one of you."
Zhao Renshu, "Ping'an, I told you the plan last night."
Ping'an, "Baiyu, you don't need to follow Renshu's silly plan." She smiled at him. "Today, I want to tell you that I am not choosing you."
Guo Baiyu felt like there were thousand knives stabbing his heart at once. In his life, he has experienced many failures, but this time has caused him more hurt him more than ever. His mind was blank, and all he felt was emptiness. He wondered what he did wrong.
Guo Baiyu asked sadly, "Do you choose him?"
Ping'an, "Goodbye Baiyu." She tipped her foot, kissed his lips, and turned to Zhao Renshu. "Let's go home."
Zhao Renshu, "Baiyu, I will talk to her."
Guo Baiyu, "No, she chooses you."
Zhao Renshu, "She is just angry."
Guo Baiyu, "I now understand why she made this robe."
Zhao Renshu, "She is not herself. I'll see you in a few weeks." He waved and quickly ran after Ping'an.
Long after Zhao Renshu and Ping'an left, Guo Baiyu still stood at the same place. He couldn't believe the person he loved the most and wanted to spend the rest of his life with, just tell him that she chose someone else.
Guo Longtong, "Baiyu, she left already, let's go home." He grabbed Guo Baiyu's hand. "Sometimes things don't go as we want, but life continues. Honestly, Renshu is a better choice for Ping'an. They are not like you."
Guo Baiyu knew that she chose Zhao Renshu because they are not like him. They have no responsibilities like him. Why should he bear these responsibilities? What he really wants in his life is to be with those who care about him and don't ask for anything in return. He finally found them, but eventually lost it because of his surname Guo.
Guo Baiyu felt tears in his eyes, "You know, Ping'an once asked me. If Renshu agree. Will I live peacefully in Peach Blossom Valley with them." He looked at Guo Longtong. "I couldn't give her the answer at that time. I guess she answer that question for me."
Sitting quietly in the carriage. The reason why Ping'an wants to end with Guo Baiyu is because he once told her that in order to succeed, he endured so much pain. If he chooses to walk with her, then everything he worked hard for will be instantly destroyed.
Hu Qingge words also left a deep impression on her. Without her, Zhao Renshu would choose Hu Qingge. Why does he suffer when she kisses another man? This is not fair to both of them. She knew that when the scheduled due date came, she would not be able to choose one of them.
She knew she had no right to tied them to her. She knew that these two men would never accept society's humiliation for sharing the same woman. Most importantly, she has always known that she took her first breath into this world, as a infant without no one to love her. She will also take her last breath leaving this cruel cruel world, as a person without no one to love her.
Suddenly, she wanted to die. She should have died long ago. Why did everyone around her die, or let her to fend for herself since birth? She is tired of trying to change her destiny and lying to herself, that tomorrow will be better than yesterday or today. She is too tired to fend for herself anymore. Her strength was there, but her will had disappeared.
The only reason she continues to live is because of them, but now they are no longer her Baiyu and Renshu. What is the reason for her to continue living? She realized that she had no reason to continue living.
