Upon hearing Qiao Wennuan's phone fall completely silent, Shen Liangnian slowly raised his hand to beckon the waiter, paid the bill, stood up, and said, "Wennuan, take good care of yourself."
Qiao Wennuan was shaking her head, standing up with tears streaming down her face, and abruptly grabbed Shen Liangnian, "Liangnian, as long as you let me stay by your side, I'm willing to be your nameless partner. I really can't lose you..."
Qiao Wennuan spoke intermittently, increasingly desperate, "Liangnian, I can be your secret lover for the rest of my life if you let me stay by your side...oh, no...as long as I can see you, that's good enough. Please, don't leave..."
Shen Liangnian slowly turned around, looking at the tearful Qiao Wennuan. After a long while, he raised his hand to wipe away her tears. Maybe it was Qiao Wennuan's illusion, but Shen Liangnian's fingers didn't feel warm like before. They felt cold as ice.
