Selfish

*Written when I was a beginner, and I really don't recommend buying it. I cut a large part of the later section where he tries to win her back due to personal real-life circumstances. I'm truly sorry if this affects your enjoyment of the story.

Many years later, every night she fell asleep wrapped in Lin Ze's arms, Chi Sisi would find herself drifting back to those days.

When he was tender and attentive, when he was despondent and down on his luck, when he had everything going for him.

Chi Sisi loved all of him, not just the facade and the looks. She was passionate and sincere, and she never wavered.

Ten years ago, a stick of incense and fireworks sent her into a beautiful dream.

She believed in love at first sight, and was certain that a steady, lasting companionship would be rewarded with true love.

Until she tore apart with her own hands a marriage that was nothing but a pretty facade.

Only then did Chi Sisi understand that there are people who don't love you, yet won't let you go.

He gave you candy only because he had two pieces.

Lin Ze never forgot the only line in the will: "Always love yourself first."

He was moved by her care and grateful that she had never left him. At an age when he knew he could look after her for the rest of her life, he gave her the marriage he thought Chi Sisi wanted most.

There was everything one might expect of a courteous marriage, except love.

Warm milk, sweet honey toast, and a freshly ironed shirt and jacket, just like every ordinary morning of the past five years.

On the divorce papers tucked beneath the glass sat her neat, delicate signature, just like the name she had signed to every love letter she wrote him back then.

Lin Ze, who had been selfish all his life, finally realized that both pieces of candy had long been resting in Chi Sisi's palm.
