Didn’t You Say You’d Forgotten Me? Then Why Are You Crying in Secret?

The word fans use most often to describe He Li is “gentle,” but before he turned twenty-two, he was a complete rebel.

“Impossible to control” was the judgment He Li heard most often from his father, though he had nothing to say to the control freak who was so overbearing.

But you don't know how much it hurts until the boomerang comes back and hits you.

“Why are you breaking up with me? What did I do wrong?”

“I'm tired of you. I'm fed up. Breakups don't need a whole list of reasons.”

“But you put my name in your plans for the future.”

“Isn't that what you say to keep your partner happy when you're dating? We've known each other for less than two years. What makes you think we'll have a future together? I'll forget you before long.”

His breakup with Lu Zhixue was anything but dignified.

Maybe being a little more possessive is a good thing.

After the breakup, He Li spent more than a year lost in despair. No one knew how he pulled himself out of it. No one dared mention those three words in front of him again. And no one could have imagined that one day, “gentle as jade” would describe He Li.

Then one day, he heard a familiar voice he hadn't heard in a long time and realized he had never let go.

In that case, he would hold on and never let go again.

Lu Zhixue had a relationship that ended in the worst possible way.

The more decisively she had ended things, the harder she dug her nails into her palm when she saw He Li again.

When He Li passed her as if he didn't recognize her, Lu Zhixue finally understood: your feelings don't lie when you love someone.

He had never forgotten the person who could so easily stir his emotions.
