Reeds grow thick and green, my beloved is far away, and my longing stretches on and on.
Sometimes Lin Wan wonders why reeds have to grow in this world. The wind stirs ripples across the spring water, and stirs waves in her heart.
“People fall in love because their hearts are moved. They marry because of love. For me, nothing else will do!” Lin Wan clutches her chest. “You never knew, did you? Before you knew it, I had already loved you so desperately, with no hope at all. I don’t know when you took root in my heart, either. Your roots spread densely through my heart and blood vessels, then seeped into my very bones and blood.
“I don’t know how to take you out of my heart. If I pull you out, my heart will truly shatter into dust.” Lin Wan says with despair and resolve. “Luo Tingyu, you were once a dream I never wanted to wake from! But in the end, I pulled you out of my heart, even if it left my heart shattered beyond repair, even if it left me covered in blood! You no longer have a place in my heart.
“Because I love you just as you love me. And without your knowing, I heard it, Lin Wan.”
