I patted Jiang Yu's shoulder. "You should go back now; I'm leaving."
"We'll meet again if there's a chance," he replied.
I turned to leave, but Jiang Yu grabbed the hem of my shirt.
I looked back at him. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yu gazed at me, "Su Mei, that night... I only took a picture; I didn't touch you."
I chuckled softly, "Hmm."
"Jiang Yu, you should go too."
I turned and walked away briskly.
Goodbye, Jiang Yu.
I bid you farewell amidst countless lights.
Thank you for being so kind to me once.
Thank you for your concern.
I wish you peace and happiness.
May you live a life free of worries.
I turned around and tried to walk forward, but my body swayed in the wind.
Tang Che and Wang Ting were waiting for me in the distance.
As I approached, they looked at me. "How did it go?"
I shook my head. "It's nothing."
"Did you cry?" Tang Che asked.
I raised my hand to touch my face and realized it was icy cold.
I shook my head again. "No."
Tang Che chuckled lightly, "Still trying to fool me?"
I lowered my head and said nothing.
Tang Che spoke softly, "Su Mei, I know what you're thinking."
"You still can't let him go, can you?"
I shook my head.
I am just...
Just regretful.
Regretful that we have become what we are now.
If only we could have been more honest back then, perhaps we wouldn't have ended up like this.
But life has no "if only."
Jiang Yu and I were destined to miss each other.
I lifted my head to look at Tang Che. "Thank you."
Tang Che raised an eyebrow slightly. "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for being there for me day by day."
Tang Che chuckled softly. "I'm just doing what I want to do."
I looked at him, and he was looking back at me.
I said, "Tang Che, thank you."
Tang Che smiled but didn't say anything.
A few days later, Jiang Yu released a video.
He admitted to the things he had done in the past.
He acknowledged that he had forced me and that he had taken photos of me.
He also made public the agreement he had signed with Yu Tian, revealing that they had originally planned to marry for two years and then part amicably; it was all just an act.
Jiang Yu, he has always been a proud person.
Yet now, he admitted his mistakes in front of so many people.
I don't know what he is thinking inside.
I truly don't know.
All I know is that we can never go back to how things were before.
Three days later, Jiang Heng called me.
He said, "Su Mei."
"I owe you an explanation."
I smiled faintly. "It's all in the past."
"I'm sorry, I misjudged people; Yu Tian had ulterior motives, which led to your situation being exposed."
I whispered, "It's okay."
"And those creditors, they extorted money from you and then sold the information to Yu Tian."
So that's how it was.
I replied, "I understand."
"Su Mei, can you come back?"
I shook my head. "I can't."
I could never go back.
Between Jiang Yu and me, things could never return to how they were.
I looked out the window at the warm sunlight.
Walking in the sunshine, a smile crept onto my lips.
It had been a long time since I felt this happy.
The smile on my face had not appeared for quite a while.
I closed my eyes, soaking in the warmth of the sun.
Tang Che came to my house. "Is there anything to eat?"
He had been busy since morning and hadn't even had a sip of water.
I handed him a piece of red bean bread.
He devoured it in just a few bites and then asked, "Su Mei, would you like to settle down in my apartment?"
I raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why?"
Tang Che cleared his throat. "Because..."
"There are no neighbors over there, and I'm scared being alone."
I was speechless.
What did he take me for?
I shook my head helplessly.
Tang Che glanced at me. "Alright then, I'll go home."
