Jiang Yu had not been to the company these days; he stayed with me every day, cooking for me. The topics he brought up were always about our past. I didn't know what he meant by that. Perhaps it was to make me suffer, because the "us" now was worlds apart from the "us" before.
Recently, I kept dreaming about the past. I remembered how much I loved strawberry cake back then, but it was too expensive, and I could never bring myself to buy it. So every time we passed by a shop window, I would pull Jiang Yu and say, "Jiang Yu, look, that one is so beautiful!"
Jiang Yu would always smile and nod, "Yes, very beautiful."
"Xiao Mei, I'll buy it for you when your birthday comes."
But before my birthday arrived, Jiang Yu had already bought it. He saved up half a semester's worth of money and confessed to me at school, only to be caught by my teacher. The incident caused quite a stir; many people at school found out. We got scolded by the teacher, yet he just kept grinning like an idiot.
I asked him, "What are you so happy about?"
Jiang Yu took my hand and said, "Xiao Mei, when I have money..."
"I'll buy you lots and lots of strawberry cakes."
Looking at Jiang Yu made my heart feel sweet. I believed he would definitely become wealthy; we would have a better future together. But now...
"Xiao Mei."
Jiang Yu's voice echoed in my ear.
I suddenly came to my senses, realizing I had fallen asleep without knowing when. Jiang Yu was squatting in front of me, quietly watching me. I hurriedly averted my gaze.
"I'm getting married in a few days," he said.
A pang of pain shot through my heart. I knew this wedding represented all the hopes I once had for the future. But now...
I lowered my eyes, my voice weak. "Oh, then... may you have many children."
Jiang Yu stared at me, his gaze scrutinizing. After a moment, he smiled.
I was taken aback, staring blankly at Jiang Yu. He lowered his head, looking at me with an emotion I couldn't comprehend.
"Why is it that you can easily start a relationship and just as easily end it when you grow tired of it?"
"Su Mei, tell me, why?"
I stared at Jiang Yu, unsure of what to say. I felt exhausted.
"Jiang Yu, just let me go."
Jiang Yu looked at me for a long time before he finally chuckled softly. He reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear and said gently, "Su Mei, you know that I want you to pay the price."
I closed my eyes as tears slipped from the corners.
"Then let me die."
"Jiang Yu, can I just die?"
Jiang Yu's gaze bore into me, and his smile gradually faded. He grasped my chin firmly, forcing me to look up at him.
"Su Mei, do you want to die right now?"
"Then why didn't you die back then?!"
It was Jiang Yu's wedding day.
But suddenly, Jiang Heng burst into Jiang Yu's house to confront me.
"Su Mei, what exactly did you say to my cousin?"
"Why did he cancel his engagement with Yu Tian?"
"You two broke up before; now that he's getting married, why can't you just let him go?"
I stared at Jiang Heng, momentarily at a loss for words.
Jiang Yu called off the wedding?
But... how could it be because of me?
"Say something!"
Jiang Heng rushed forward and grabbed me by the arm.
"Su Mei, do you even have a heart?"
"My cousin treated you so well back then; why did you abandon him?"
"If you hadn't left back then, how could things have come to this?!"
I stood there in a daze, murmuring, "I... I don't know..."
I truly didn't know.
Jiang Yu had never mentioned any of this to me.
I had no idea why he would cancel the wedding.
Looking at Jiang Heng, his face was filled with anger, completely devoid of the obedient demeanor he once had.
