She thought she loved him deeply, but it was nothing much.
He thought he didn't love her, but when he finally realized his feelings, they were already rooted in his bones.
...*A clumsy author's manual divider*...
When Zhang Jiao was young, she had a crush on someone. But a secret love between an ugly duckling and a favored child of heaven was doomed to end badly. And it did, spectacularly. Zhang Jiao's reputation was in tatters, and she fled far away.
Many years later, Zhang Jiao returned to her hometown and met a young man who reminded her of him. The young man's love was bright and passionate, and Zhang Jiao fell for him. But when she turned around, she saw the object of her old crush.
His features had grown more mature, his air colder. He was still like a towering mountain, like an icy wasteland, impossible to reach.
When they met again, he looked at Zhang Jiao with contempt. "Leave my younger brother. You're not good enough for him."
Zhang Jiao touched her face as it was now and replied just as contemptuously, "Xu Ruizhi, don't regret this."
Xu Ruizhi thought this woman was truly strange.
But later, he did regret it, and there was no cure for regret.
All he could do was offer a yellow rose to express, however inadequately, the vulgar love that had come too late.
*
Many years ago, one morning, Zhang Jiao gave Xu Ruizhi a yellow rose.
Many years later, one morning, Zhang Jiao saw an entire estate of yellow roses Xu Ruizhi had planted.
Theme: Be sincere.
