Some people come into your life and seem like they'll be there for the rest of it. After you part ways, all you can do is hide them away in your memories.
Xu Zhixia was once certain that Lu Yanci was that person. She went to him with a heart full of warmth, held back her own sharp edges, and accommodated all his coldness and busyness, willingly making herself someone who revolved around him. Lu Yanci accepted all her love without hesitation, but never learned to cherish it. He took her understanding for granted, neglected her and broke his promises again and again, letting misunderstandings take root between them.
People around her urged Xu Zhixia to stop holding on. Some people are right to meet, they said, but wrong to stay with. She refused to believe them, still clinging to a sliver of hope that one day he would see the hurt hidden in her eyes. It wasn't until all the disappointment she'd accumulated came crashing down, after a fierce argument, that Xu Zhixia finally woke up. Some people, no matter how hard you try, will never reach the same destination as you.
She didn't plead or drag things out. She quietly left Lu Yanci's world, cut off all contact, and set out alone to build a new life. No longer the woman whose heart and eyes had been filled with him, she slowly found herself again, learning to live with confidence and independence, no longer waiting humbly for anyone.
After they parted, Lu Yanci's life went on as usual. But in the silence of the night, the emptiness in his heart grew heavier and heavier. Belated regret surged over him, and only then did he understand that the girl who had loved him with everything she had would never wait for him again. He set aside all his pride and searched everywhere for Xu Zhixia, wanting only to make up for everything he owed her.
Reunited after a long separation, Xu Zhixia looked at him with calm, unreadable eyes.
He said, "Can we start over? I can change."
She replied, "Some people are meant to meet, not stay together. Let's break up."
