The wind began to stir by the seaside.
Her long skirt billowed freely in the sea breeze.
Mo Qiansu walked step by step towards the shoreline, the sea washing over her ankles, past her knees, over her thighs, over her waist… Each step was imbued with a raw despair towards life itself.
In her ears, it was as though Gu Xuanye's last words still echoed.
"Mo Qiansu, I've laid my whole heart out in front of you. What more do you want me to do?!"
"I don't love you, so whatever you do, it feels superfluous!"
"Do you love Jing Chen that much? Is it that you can never be without him in this lifetime?!!"
"Yes! Besides him, I've lost the capacity to love anyone else!! Gu Xuanye, please let me go, I can't live without him…"
That pair of painful, wounded, shattered eyes—she could still see them clearly, even in the dark night.
Every word that hurt him caused her even greater pain and discomfort.
The injured silhouette of him as he left resonated painfully throughout her entire heart.
