After I Turned Away, the Scumbag Pilot Cried Himself Crazy

[Modern city life + tortured romance + abrupt breakup + karmic retribution + healing second male lead + satisfying read]

Lin Nian'an had been secretly dating her childhood friend, Lu Shichen, for six years.

For all those years, she couldn't appear on his social media, attend his colleagues' parties, or call him her “boyfriend” in public.

He was the youngest captain at a major airline, a golden bachelor admired by countless people.

And she was the secret he kept hidden in the dark, a relationship he couldn't let anyone see.

When she got pregnant, she thought at last there was a reason for them to go public.

But at a party, in front of everyone, he said, “I don't have a girlfriend.”

She fell down the stairs and lost the baby.

When they broke up, he sneered, “Once you leave me, how many people do you think will chase after you?”

A month later, he posted on social media, “Here's to spending the rest of our lives together,” and tagged her account.

He thought it was the greatest gift he could give her.

She was only disgusted. The couple's photo she'd begged for over six years had become a bargaining chip he could graciously bestow.

“Lu Shichen, your future has nothing to do with me.”

Later, she smiled brightly in a French restaurant, a gentle, steadfast man holding her hand.

Standing outside the window, Lu Shichen finally understood:

Some people, once lost, are gone for a lifetime.

He lost his pilot's license, lost the so-called confidante he'd kept around, and eventually spent an entire rainy night kneeling in the street.

By then, she had already taken a husky named Niangao by the paw and stepped into a new life.
