Late at night, snow fell thick and fast. Lu Yuan helped Xu Nian out of the KTV, both of them covered in snowflakes. Xu Nian raised her head and gazed at Lu Yuan, murmuring softly, “Did you ever like me back then?” Lu Yuan’s heart jolted. He looked at Xu Nian, a complex emotion flickering in his eyes.
Memories surged back like a tide, taking him to their youth, years ago. Lu Yuan and Xu Nian had met at school and fallen for each other. But fate led them down different paths.
Now, faced with Xu Nian’s question, Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment, then finally began to speak. “I...”
“Forget it! That’s all in the past.” Xu Nian cut him off before he could finish. Yes, it was all in the past. Eight years was long enough to heal any old wound!
You really were the only person I’ve ever loved. So what? It’s over now.
The snow kept drifting down, as if bearing witness to the love they had missed. Lu Yuan and Xu Nian’s eyes met, filled with too much regret and helplessness to put into words.
Night had fallen, and the wind was bitterly cold. Lu Yuan walked Xu Nian home, and their silhouettes gradually disappeared into the snowy night. Would this past, sealed away by the years, finally come to an end? Or would it open the way to a new journey? No one knew...
