A fleeting glimpse at the lantern festival that year became a thorn in Shen Qingchi's heart. He resented him and hated him, but he couldn't let go of him, either.
Once, he had said he would marry him and give him a grand wedding, with ten miles of red bridal finery, and never let him down.
Later, he really did have ten miles of red bridal finery, but it was for someone else.
When he was young and dressed in fine clothes, riding a spirited horse, he once said that when he rose to a high position, he would have him by his side. But in the end, the person beside him was still not him.
Only after Shen Qingchi was gone did Xu Yizhou finally say the word “regret.”
“I think I've forgotten something.”
“I forgot. I forgot to marry him.”
“I forgot...”
“My A Zhu, I regret it.”
Only when he had truly lost Shen Qingchi did Xu Yizhou manage to say that he regretted it. But his words, “I regret it,” were scattered by the wind, never reaching Shen Qingchi's ears.
In the end, Shen Qingchi never heard Xu Yizhou say he regretted it.
