Seven days after his death, Lin Wan's soul was still trapped next to Lu Jinyan.
She saw this man expressionless at her funeral and as silent as a stone statue in front of her tomb.
She thought that there was never sincerity in this business marriage.
Until she drifted into the study room and saw the wooden box he locked in a secret room - it contained photos secretly taken of her in college, scraps of paper she had discarded, and a strawberry hair tie that had long since faded.
She watched him murmuring to himself beside her cold tombstone. He calmly swallowed the sleeping pills and listened to his last breath dissipate in the wind:
"Wanwan, in the next life... Try to love me once, okay?"
When she opened her eyes again, she went back to the evening when she cut her wrists.
The bathroom door was slammed open, Lu Jinyan picked her up from the bloody water with red eyes, his voice was hoarse and broken:
"Lin Wan—how dare you!"
In this life, it's her turn to see clearly:
The silence that she had pushed away thousands of times was the only language he used to love her.
