Ten years ago, she wore a white shirt and a high ponytail and liked to walk through the rose garden on the high school campus; and he stopped and stared at her, looking back with a smile.
Ten years later, her marriage was in crisis, and she was as exhausted physically and mentally as a lost lamb; but he still stood where he was, looking at her with the same affectionate and warm eyes as before.
Faced with the belated love, she said: "You are very young and very outstanding. Although I don't know what your main business is from beginning to end, I can see that you are not bad with power and money. At your age, with such achievements, and a man like you..."
But he replied with a playful smile: "A man like me is like a firefly in the dark night or a scarab beetle in the field. He is so bright and outstanding, especially my melancholy eyes, messy hairstyle, the four-and-five-dollar red gold dragon in my mouth, and the half-pack of Wangwang snow cakes exposed in my pocket. They all betrayed me deeply."
After the divorce, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and was full of hesitation and uneasiness about his feelings. And he always cheated in every possible way and never let go. Finally, she said helplessly and angrily: "Rogue, scoundrel!"
……
It wasn't until that night when he said the words with hurt eyes, "Green plums wither, bamboo horses grow old, from now on the people I love will be like you", she was shocked to realize that the past was like smoke in her eyes, and it turned out that so much time had passed. For so long, without any precautions, she had changed from the youthful girl to the scarred appearance she has now.
If they had been lingering in the age of eighteen or sixteen, wouldn't they have experienced so much pain and torture, and their unpredictable hearts?
