Xu Weilai had no idea where she was headed. She only knew that she couldn’t bear to be within the same space as Gu Yu, not even for a second longer.

If Gu Yu were just a mere stranger, his actions that day wouldn’t have affected her that much. However, he wasn’t just any man. He was a man whom she loved so very much… And loving him was akin to personally handing him a metaphorical dagger, enabling him to stab her right in the heart. And now? She was reduced to nothing but a bloody mess.

Gu Yu leaned back in his seat. He watched as Xu Weilai’s silhouette teetered, her feet stumbling along as she fought to put one foot before the other.

Her long skirt flapped in the sea breeze as she shivered from the cold. Her steps were unsteady as her body threatened to collapse at any moment.

Still, she refused to look back, not even once.

Relieving himself of his desires gave him no satisfaction. In its place, a huge sense of emptiness was left behind, an emptiness that slowly, but surely, engulfed him whole.

He couldn’t help but recall the moment just before when Xu Weilai was beneath him. She had struggled initially but soon after, she laid motionless with her eyes closed. Her expression was calm, harboring a deathly stillness.

It was as if she was telling him there was nothing he could ever do that would invoke any reaction out of her.

What he hated the most was her indifference. She had turned his life upside down but remained calm and unbothered still. Three years had passed, but she was still a cruel and ruthless outsider.

As Xu Weilai slowly disappeared into the distance, his eyes gradually darkened as he snapped out of his reverie, re-adopting his usual cold demeanor.

He deftly rearranged his slightly disheveled clothing, transforming back to his usual prim and proper self. With his hands on the steering wheel, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped off.

The headlights of his car shone from behind, as he drove towards her direction. But Xu Weilai continued to tread forward without looking back.

The car passed her by but showed no signs of stopping, speeding past her instead.

Gu Yu looked at the rearview mirror and watched as her figure slowly faded, as his grip on the wheel tightened.
