Before the wedding, Su Mengyao and I got into a car accident on our way there.
We survived, but she lost her memory and forgot me.
The doctor said she might have been so afraid of losing me that she'd repressed her memories of me.
I refused to give up, bringing out our old belongings every day in hopes of awakening her memories.
When I excitedly took the three thousand origami cranes I'd stayed up all night folding to see her, I heard her girlfriends teasing her:
“You're quite the liar. You said you'd lost your memory, and Shen Mohan believed you. That's a great excuse. Can you use it after you're married, too...?”
“Don't talk nonsense. I just wanted to put off the wedding. I won't lie to him again.”
“That's all? What's there to be afraid of? Shen Mohan loves you so much, so what if you never get married?”
She argued back, looking annoyed:
“I still love him.”
“Fine. Find me a few more young guys lately. Once I've slept with all twelve zodiac signs, I'll get married.”
I dropped the origami cranes into the trash and walked away.
