On He Qinian's first birthday together, the man placed a kiss on her collarbone.
It was Jiang Xi's first time being planted with strawberries, and the strange numbing sensation made her complain unbearably: "It hurts."
He Qinian laughed angrily at her aggrieved look and placed a punitive kiss on her lips: "Squeaky."
But in his hands, he pinched her earlobe again and again to comfort her silently.
Later, they broke up.
The last words before leaving were what Jiang Xi said to He Qinian:
"You know, I'm most afraid of pain."
