[Heartbreaking Unrequited Love] [Second Male Lead Takes the Lead] [Regret and Redemption] [Strong Female Lead]
During their senior year of high school, he vanished from her world completely. He distanced himself from her, despised her, and pushed her away. He pierced the feelings of a young girl that she had never dared to voice.
There was no blood, yet Song Suiying hurt so much she could hardly breathe.
She watched him walk away alone on the other side of the bridge, not knowing why. She had never been so anxious, never been so heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do.
Through the sleepless nights in America, his words lashed at him like a poisoned whip, again and again, as regret consumed him from within. What kept him gritting his teeth and carrying on in a foreign country were those clear eyes, their faint smile, and the three words engraved on his heart, words he had once been afraid to forget. He realized it far too late: she was his entire world.
When they finally met again, he understood at last. The glory he had fought to win, the longing carved into his heart, were worth less than a speck of dust beside the peaceful happiness within her reach.
He was too late. He had missed his chance. He didn't even have the opportunity to repent.
Between them lay the length of an entire youth, forever.
To Chen Zhi, Song Suiying was the only light piercing his despair. All his struggles, his restraint, even his wretched efforts to survive, were for the day he might stand in that light again, if only to draw a little warmth from it.
Love that comes too late cannot reclaim the time lost. The light he had snuffed out with his own hands became a lighthouse in someone else's life, leaving him to walk alone through the endless night.
