Back Then, I Adored You

The soft and beautiful prelude resounded throughout the square.

After about thirty seconds, Qin Zhi’ai opened her mouth. Soft and light singing that matched the music slowly spread.

“Go back to the place where we started. I still remember that day was also a rainy day. You held me tightly in your arms and said that you would always love me forever. That promise is not enough for time. In the twinkle of an eye, love has come to an end.”

Eight years before, he crashed into her world with the casual action of lifting a case.

Eight years before, he had failed twice to keep his plans with her, leaving her with a fake phone number. After messing up her whole world, he had disappeared from it completely.

In those eight years, she had never thought about giving up, and she was waiting for him to come back, even though he had forgotten her.

But now, he was married. She didn’t even have a chance to wait for. Her love had finally come to an end.

“I can’t face your excuses and deceptions. I saw you kissing her. My world is changing for you day by day. You didn’t find it. You didn’t see all my effort.”

That was her favorite song, called, “The End.” When he had met her two years ago by accident, he had asked, “Who are you?” That banquet hall had been playing that song.

Gu Yusheng, do you know?

This song is the only farewell I’ll give you, and it is also the farewell I’ll give to my love for you.

I love you so much. I have loved you for eight years. I dreamt that you could be close to me one day, and now that day has finally arrived, but you will never know that I am Qin Zhi’ai.

Gu Yusheng, have you seen it?

After all, we are… Deep love for me, heartbreaking fate for you and me.

There was a tear in Qin Zhi’ai’s eyes. Holding the cell phone, she tried to immerse herself in the music to prevent her emotions from getting out of control.

“I close my eyes and kiss your face for the last time. If you really love me, don’t say sorry. My love is stuck in your world. I understood how dangerous love is.”

The shops on both sides of the pedestrian street had all closed. Except for the street lamps that were lit on both sides of the street, there were only neon lights that flashed all night left on in some shops, and the lights were not as bright and dazzling as they ate dinner.

The usual noisy streets were quiet at that time, having a special charm in the dim light.

The girl with her charm was so extremely attractive that she herself did not know. Gu Yusheng sat on the bench and looked at her, losing himself.

The lyrics of that song were very short, with only the same few paragraphs repeated. Following the soundtrack, when Qin Zhi’ai sang them the second time, Gu Yusheng couldn’t tell why in the bottom of his heart, he felt faintly hurt.

Is it an illusion? I always felt that the girls with smiles sing with grief.

Am I thinking too much of it? I’m worried in my heart, as if the pretty girl standing in front of the fountain and singing will disappear in the blink of an eye.

“As long as you pass today, you will love yourself a little more, and there will be no more vows in my world.”

As she sang the last sentence, Qin Zhi’ai’s voice was trembling a little.

Yes, after today, Gu Yusheng would become the person she had loved before, and no longer the one she would love.

And in her world, there would be no more of his laughs, his rage, his ridicule, his seriousness, his laziness, and his anger… his anything.

She hadn’t left yet, but she had already begun to miss him.
