That year he said: I don't love you anymore. Period.
Ye Shuo didn't ask why, and only said five words - "Have you thought clearly?" It was also full stop.
Three years later, a wedding banquet, a data transfer, and an unfinished "actually——" on the phone. Excuses ran out one by one, and the two finally stood in the same room, without props or reasons.
Ye Shuo asked: That year you said you didn't love me, was that true?
Pei Chen didn't answer.
He poured two glasses of water and pushed one to Ye Shuo's left hand.
Concept: The deepest mistake is not that you lied, but that both of you thought silence meant kindness.
