"If you don't want this, you should back out now. I'm not insisting on growing old together."
Under the starry night sky of Jiangshan City, she seemed to see her younger self, wearing ragged clothes, standing in a small town street as night fell, waiting for Shen Liangnian to come home from his vacation in the city.
In the small town at night, the lights were not as bright as in Jiangshan City. Walking down the pitch-black streets, one could see the bright moonlight. He and she were walking quietly, one behind the other.
Back then, both their faces were still youthful. He was not as steady and mature as he is now. The streets in the small town were full of potholes and puddles. She found it difficult to cross them, so he extended his hand and held hers, unintentionally brushing her skin. A shy blush would then appear on his face.
Such a beautiful past, youthful recklessness, happy times, but such a tragic ending.
