I looked up at the pitch-black night sky.
How could an ordinary woman like me ever capture a man's heart?
Perhaps I really can't live without Jiang Shiyan.
But this time, I was determined to break up.
I returned to the apartment.
I walked to the corner of the closet and took down the carefully tailored wedding dress.
I had waited joyfully for six months to receive this wedding dress.
But now, I would never have the chance to wear it.
I found a pair of scissors and decisively cut it into pieces.
Since I couldn't keep it, I might as well destroy it.
After all, I would never wear it again.
I didn't want Jiang Shiyan to see it.
Before leaving, I took off my engagement ring and gently placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
The lights were off in the living room, and in the darkness, the diamond reflected a sparkling light.
I didn't take much with me, just a few personal items.
The rest, I no longer needed.
I left behind the house, car, and bank card that Jiang Shiyan had given me; I took none of it.
I left a note stating that he had the right to dispose of everything.
The house was bought by Jiang Shiyan but was in my name.
He had said at the time that it was for my sense of security.
Now, I no longer wanted that sense of security.
I booked a flight for early morning to Licheng.
There, I would be with my best friend.
Now, only she can provide me with a bit of comfort.

A friend messaged me, inviting me for afternoon tea.
In the evening, she organized a small gathering with our old friends and classmates.
I didn’t think much of it and changed into another outfit before heading out.
To my surprise, Lu Nancheng also showed up.
He was a rare visitor in our class, often appearing and disappearing mysteriously during school, like a dragon that you could see only fleetingly.
After graduation, he rarely mingled with our group.
His arrival excited several female classmates present.
"I happened to be nearby for some business and heard you all were gathering here, so I came to join the fun," Lu Nancheng explained.
Today, he wore a black coat over a business suit, his handsome features and tall stature making him stand out.
His gaze lingered on me for a moment before he subtly shifted it away.
I was slightly surprised; we hadn’t been in touch since graduation.
Now that he suddenly appeared, I felt a bit taken aback.
My friend seemed to sense something. After Lu Nancheng was pulled away by others for chatting and drinking,
she leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "Is there something between you two...?"
I shook my head. "We haven't been in contact for many years."
My friend laughed. "That’s even better."
I was more confused. "Huh?"
She smiled mischievously, making me feel a bit flustered. "Let him take you home later. We’ve had drinks, and calling a ride-share isn’t safe."
"Ah?"
My friend shot me a look. "What do you mean 'ah'? The way he looks at you is practically electric. I’m sure he’s interested in you."
I: "..."
My friend became more and more excited, saying, "You haven't dated anyone in years. Why not try to win over the class monitor from back then?"
I was speechless: "..."

At the hotel lobby.
I thanked Lu Nancheng, "Thank you for bringing me back, Class Monitor."
Lu Nancheng smiled slightly, "You're welcome. Would you like to have a cup of tea?"
I replied, "Sure, I have some excellent Longjing tea."
He nodded.
We entered the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were slowly closing, he suddenly leaned closer to me.
His hands pressed against the wall behind me, trapping me between his chest and the wall.
The distance between our lips was only a few centimeters.
His warm breath, carrying a hint of alcohol, brushed against my cheek.
