"There's no why. When love is gone, it's just gone," Song Huanyan said.
Gong Ziqian looked at Song Huanyan, she was so calm and determined... without any hint of sadness, sorrow, or reluctance.
In their face-to-face conversation, he could clearly feel what Song Huanyan meant...
She truly no longer loved him.
She really didn't love him anymore.
Suddenly, Gong Ziqian felt a heartache so intense he could hardly breathe.
Song Huanyan truly didn't love him anymore, nor did she hate him.
He suddenly regretted it.
Regretted that he shouldn't have told Song Huanyan the truth of that year, letting her continue to misunderstand him, continue to hate him... At least that way, he could deceive himself into believing that Song Huanyan still loved her.
Love turns to hate out of passion.
If there's no love, where could hatred come from?
Song Huanyan's hatred for him signified her love for him.
