Between Shen Nie and Kang Chen, Ming Mei chose Kang Chen without hesitation.
Stopping by the lake, Ming Mei never once looked back, as if to tell him that she would not glance back. Her days were now meant for looking forward. Her choice had been made long ago.
Shen Nie was the dream-like illusion of her youth, while Kang Chen was the towering tree beside her.
The close companionship of youthful days could not equate to the love she had now.
If she were to hesitate between the two, she would hurt everyone involved.
Instead of hurting everyone, she might as well… decisively cut through the entanglement.
Only, the person wounded deepest by this choice was Shen Nie.
Ming Mei knew she was selfish, that she was hurting Shen Nie for her own peace.
But... She was already Kang Chen's wife, and soon to be a mother, she could only afford to be selfish this one time.
