Half an hour earlier, Shen Yichen had received a call from Zhou Siyan, his voice urgent like a burning fuse.

She waited for a long time on the mountaintop, until the stars filled the night sky, her phone screen lit up and dimmed, and finally, all she received was a nonchalant "It's just a birthday, it happens every year, what's wrong with missing one?" The wind, carrying a chill, seeped into her heart. Looking at the empty mountain road, Qin Shuzhi finally realized that this companionship had been a misplaced investment. The words of breaking up lingered in her throat, but she finally whispered them out.
