[In the world of love, I'm always forced to make certain choices. But his arrival was like a trap he'd been laying for a long time.]
Shen Zhiying had known a brief period of happiness, once. By chance, she had unexpectedly met the person who would become her lover.
But their love was beset by hardship. Then came the news of her lover's car accident, and at 8:35, a Land Rover Defender with the plate DN9981 crashed into the Shen family villa.
Amid the violent wind and rain, a man calmly opened his umbrella.
"Is it so hard to leave that person?"
"I don't know."
"I guess we were never really together. We just kept each other company through the hardest times, fell asleep cuddling in the same bed, and imagined our future countless times... But what good are all those 'justs'?"
Shen Zhiying spoke so softly, as if she were cutting her own heart out.
"Is leaving really the only answer?"
"Shen Zhiying." The man called her in a low voice, unable to hide the emotion in his eyes. "You can think about someone else and stay. Then marry me."
Much later, at last, Shen Zhiying understood what those words meant.
Note: Everyone has their own beloved, and everyone loves differently.
