You are the one I would risk everything to reach...
--
Reeds by the river, dewdrops not yet gone,
My beloved stands across the water.
I follow the stream, but the way is blocked and winding.
I go against the current, and she seems to stand upon an islet.
“I am yours, and yours alone. For all my life, I only wish to be by your side. I have no regrets.”
--
“Wenwen!”
Wen Yiren heard his voice, once filled with joy but now heavy with pain, and stopped once more. With her back to him, she could no longer hold back the tears glimmering in her eyes. Her expression was a little dazed.
“Wen Yiren, do you still love me?”
Yan Suizhi stood not far away, staring at her back in anguish, hoping for an answer that would tell him she still needed him.
Wen Yiren paused, pressed her lips together, and lowered her head with a self-mocking smile. Without turning around, she fell silent for a few seconds before answering softly.
“I did once...”
Then she walked away without hesitation.
--
“Wenwen, trust me. Your big brother is the only one who will ever love you most.”
“Wenwen, you used to be such a good girl. Be a good girl for your big brother, and you’ll make him happy.”
“Wenwen, has there ever been even the slightest place for me in your heart?”
--
“Wenwen, I’m here. I’ve always been here.”
“A Zhi... I’m sorry...”
Nice looking.
