Looking back on the past, Tang Qingyin always felt she had been treated unfairly.
She pursued Lin Ye twice. The first time was seven years ago, and he rejected her outright.
Seven years later, everything had changed, and the past had long since faded like smoke. Tang Qingyin never imagined she'd forget the pain as soon as the wound healed and take the initiative again.
The more Tang Qingyin thought about it, the more she felt she couldn't get past it. It lodged in her heart like an old scar.

On Christmas Eve, Lin Ye waited all night, but Tang Qingyin never came back.
He called her. The deafening music on the other end told him she'd spent the evening amid dazzling lights and lively company, having quite a time.
Lin Ye's expression darkened. In a low voice, he asked, "Where are you?"
"Where I want to be."
"Who are you with?"
"My ex-husband."
Lin Ye could sit still no longer. He went to the floor-to-ceiling window and stared at the neon lights outside, taking a long while to calm down enough to keep his reason.
Gripping his phone, he asked again, "Why did you go see him?"
This time, Tang Qingyin fell silent. After a long pause, she answered with a soft laugh, "I wanted to see what it feels like to be loved."
