"I'm sorry, truly sorry. It was my moment of confusion, overwhelmed by fear, that led me to hurt you like that." Shen Yulin gazed at me with a face full of guilt.
"Forget it, those things no longer matter. Now, I only long to live the life I desire. Here, please allow me to process my resignation from Chengxing Corporation, okay? Please don't refuse me."
"Do you want to stay here?" His voice was calm, like still water, without a ripple, but I could sense a hint of hope and expectation within it.
I bit my lip, a sharp pain coursing through my heart, but I still nodded firmly: "Yes, I want to stay here, beside the one who loves me... beside... the one who isn't you."
As I uttered the last sentence, it felt as if something was blocking my throat, making it nearly impossible to breathe. I struggled to hold back the tears in my eyes, refusing to let them fall.
I knew that I still loved him. This love had once burned like a flame; now it had turned into endless pain and torment. But I also understood that we could never go back. Some things, once they happen, can never be undone.
Shen Yulin stood silently, his heart filled with contradictions and struggles. He yearned for reconciliation, but my attitude made it difficult for him to voice that desire. Memories surged like a tide in his mind, the fragments of our past flashing before him. However, the chasm of reality left him feeling powerless. His lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something but ultimately chose silence. The conclusion of our separation gradually settled in his heart; despite the unbearable pain, he preferred to bury this feeling deep within rather than risk pursuing the possibility of reconciliation.
"As you wish. But, Xingxing. Don't give up on me easily; I will come back."
With that, he silently turned and walked away, his figure appearing lonely and desolate under the corridor lights. Tears welled in his eyes, but he held them back. Perhaps this was fate's arrangement; he could only accept it and hope that time would ease my inner pain and allow us to return to our most beautiful moments.
"Xingxing, you remember everything now, right?" Shen Yulin asked again.
"I wish I could forget you forever!" The words seemed to squeeze out from between my teeth, filled with endless sorrow and sadness. Shen Yulin's gaze became hollow and confused as if he had lost his soul. He forced a smile as he stood up, his body trembling slightly as he struggled against his inner pain. Then he slowly took a step back, maintaining some distance from me.
"Uncle and Brother-in-law are resting; if you need anything, just call me." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing an indescribable weariness. After saying this, he turned away without looking back. Yet his silhouette appeared so lonely and helpless.
Hearing his words stirred a complex emotion within me. I bit my lip stubbornly and turned away from him, unwilling to meet his gaze again. "No need; as long as you're not here, it's fine." My voice was cold and firm without a hint of hesitation. It seemed I wanted to cover up my true feelings this way. Not wanting to look at him anymore, I simply scrolled through my phone.
The room fell into silence; neither of us spoke or exchanged glances. A heavy yet tranquil atmosphere enveloped the space as if time had frozen at that moment.
Before long, the door creaked open slowly. My father's figure appeared before me as he hurried to the bedside, his eyes fixed on me with urgency: "Child, how do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?" Looking into my father's caring gaze warmed my heart; tears streamed down my face uncontrollably as countless words condensed into one simple phrase: "Dad..." These two simple words contained all my endless emotions and dependence. Seeing this scene, Shen Yulin quietly left the room.
