The first time, I said to Xia Zhi that I was
busy, and hung up the phone.
The second time, I said not to bother me.
The third time, I didn’t pick up the phone.
く
Afterward, I heard that Xia Zhi had gone to
the hospital, Tiffany had said that Xia Zhi’s
situation was not serious.
I went to the hospital to take a look, she
looked like she was feeling very low, but I was
also under a lot of stress. I asked Tiffany to
help me bring some things over.
The competition was next week, I had thought
that I could pull through this period.
I performed normally, and I had obtained
champion as I had hoped, I thought of
formally announcing my marriage with Xia Zhi
at the celebration banquet.
I found Xia Zhi, inviting her to attend the
banquet in a dressed–up manner. I wanted to
r
But she had refused. I didn’t know why, and
felt an aching in my heart.
I still announced my marriage at night, but it
was put on the internet with the front and
back taken off, everyone thought it was me
and Tiffany.
Tiffany found me crying, saying that she
didn’t know, and that I had harmed her.
I called Xia Zhi quickly, but I had found that
Xia Zhi had blocked me.
I found Xia Zhi’s home. The empty home had
shocked me.
I only knew then that she had been in a car
accident that night, her right hand had a
く
comminuted fracture, and that it could not
return to its original condition again.
Great panic had drowned me, the heavens
seemed to be playing a joke on me.
I had thought that there was no longer an
obstruction between us, but had found that
we could no longer be together.
I had taken Xia Zhi back home, finding many
doctors, but the possibility was slim. I had
started to move her attention, meticulously
preparing our wedding.
I did not want to lose her, I was clearly about
to have her.
I personally took care of her, accompanying
her, but there were times when I was not
L
I had let Xia Zhi be hurt after all.
That day Xia Zhi had left, I had gone crazy,
beating those who had cursed her, making our relationship public. I had realized that protecting her quietly would not work, and I had gone so publicly so that everyone could
know that I was dead set on her.
But Xia Zhi seemed to no longer want to turn
around.
It was okay, maybe she had just not thought
it through for the moment, she had chased
me for so many years, now it was my turn to
chase her.
I stood on the wedding and waited
persistently for Xia Zhi to appear.
く
A wedding dress walked toward me slowly,
light was in my eyes.
But when I could see that it was Tiffany, my
heart was as dead as ashes.
That’s right, how could Xia Zhi come.
I looked at my parents, and they said to me
that Xia Zhi was coming back, telling me to
wait at ease. They had clearly promised.
My parents were warning me, my teacher was looking at me, visitors from all sides had
presented their blessings, and I felt as if a
thousand weights were on my feet.
But I had seen Ryan, the man by Xia Zhi’s
side. He was loudly shouting out my
く
Xia Zhi must have come, I ran toward his car.
Xia Zhi was waiting for me, I cannot let her
down, strength had returned to my body, I
yelled out loudly: Xia Zhi I love you.
I love you, Xia Zhi, I really love you.
I want to marry you, I want to give you a
wedding.
I cannot imagine a life without you.
You are like a ray of light that had lit up my
life.
Your freedom, your passion, your persistence.
You don’t know how wonderful you are.
く
Ryan had looked at me, saying “That’s more
like it.‘
Ryan had really given me a great gift, and
after listening to the contents of the
recording, my face was pale, and I didn’t dare
look at Xia Zhi’s eyes again.
It was I that had harmed Xia Zhi.
Tiffany was taken away on the spot, this wedding that all three of us had looked
forward to was a joke.
I had smashed my hand to apologize to Xia
Zhi.
I resented Tiffany, and resented my parents,
but the root of the problem was my fault.
<
It was too late, I could no longer find my light.
Many years later, I had met Xia Zhi and Ryan
in a restaurant, they were together.
I had borrowed the restaurant’s piano, playing
a piece of Canon.
My technique was more sophisticated
compared to the first time, but I had lost that
girl with only me in her eyes.
Bonus Chapter 2: Ryan’s Perspective
I’m Ryan, Xia Zhi’s senior brother.
I have a secret, I had been secretly liking Xia
Zhi, but she was too young.
く
That year, when Xia Zhi was twenty–one
years old, she had told me that she had come
to like a boy.
The cabbage that I had been carefully raising had been rooted by a pig from somewhere.
I was sad for one night, drunk for one night.
Then buried my love in my heart.
That night, during the time that Xia Zhi had had an accident, I had quickly returned to the
country, finding Xia Zhi on the street.
I investigated that night that Xia Zhi had had
an accident, it wasn’t an accident.
You all, my retreat back then wasn’t for you
to bully her.
く
I had started all the ties I had in the country,
and had finally found the truth of what had
happened.
And had given this truth to everyone, giving
Xia Zhi justice.
I had taken Xia Zhi away, encouraging her to get treatment, encouraging her to pick up her brush again, she was very talented, her life
shouldn’t just wither like this.
Of course, she has become my wife now.
I love Xia Zhi, I hope that she can live freely
and happily, living the life that she wants,
blooming brightly like a summer flower.
