The first snow fell that winter, flakes whirling through the air.
Chen Jiali's crush, an upperclassman, had gotten a girlfriend.
On a deserted, silent street, she crouched on the ground and cried. Suddenly, a pair of white sneakers appeared in front of her.
A shadow fell over her, and a boy's cool voice sounded beside her ear. "You saw it. He doesn't like you."
She was in a bad mood. His words struck a nerve, and she raised her red-rimmed eyes and spoke with cutting indifference. "So what? What's it to you? I don't like you either. Why haven't you given up?"
The snow fell heavily that night. He held an umbrella, his fingers gripping the handle so tightly his knuckles turned stiff and white. After a long moment, he bent down, pulled her up, and kissed her fiercely, leaving no room for refusal.
"Because you can only be mine."
You are the wife I decided I would marry when we were children.

So many of her actions and words, whether intentional or not, always manage to hurt him to the quick.
And he has always accepted it all without protest, silently letting her hurt him, break him, and dirty him.
So many times, countless times.
Again and again, he always accepts it willingly.
This is how I love you: I open my whole heart to you, honest, clean, sincere, and soft, and let you destroy it.
