“Every night after I let you go, I regretted it.”
-
On the day the International Film Jury announced that actor Feng Yi had won this year's Gold Award, Zhao Huaijun kept his usual appointment, heading to a newly opened teahouse in the capital to hang out with his childhood friends.
With news about Feng Yi everywhere these days, everyone knew about their past relationship. Each and every one of them was on edge, deliberately steering clear of the entertainment-industry topics they usually loved discussing.
Who would have thought Zhao Huaijun would act as if nothing had happened? He joked around and fooled about, just as carefree as ever.
It made sense, really. The third young master of the Zhao family in the capital was famously heartless. Had he ever truly cared about anyone?
That night, while everyone was drinking and having fun, a young woman came over to join in.
Someone nearby asked her what her surname was.
The girl kept glancing at Zhao Huaijun with a pair of wide eyes. Timidly, she said her surname was Song.
Not a single person in the room reacted. Only the man in the farthest corner suddenly opened his bleary eyes when he heard a certain syllable.
Xiao Yu, who knew him best, leaned close and whispered, “Third Brother, her surname is Song, the Song in Tang and Song.”
Not Feng.
Feng. Song.
It was easy to mistake one for the other.
For a brief moment, Zhao Huaijun seemed distracted.
He looked so listless, nothing like he had back when Feng Yi was still by his side.
The girl got jealous and started acting up. She insisted the weather was too hot, leaving Zhao Huaijun no choice but to personally fan her with an antique folding fan meant only for display, just to placate her.
Back then, their affection had been so intense. How unlike the time Feng Yi left him, when Zhao Huaijun nearly turned the capital upside down.
--
The day Zhao Huaijun and Feng Yi broke apart was marked by a terrifying storm.
The one who had set it all in motion leaned back on the sofa, calmly tapping ash from her cigarette. Through the swirling smoke, he gripped her chin and said in a low, measured voice, “If you stay with me, I'll pretend none of this ever happened.”
She didn't answer.
So his eyes gradually grew damp, and he left without looking back.
When they met again later, ash silently crumbled from the man's fingertips, falling to the ground in a pathetic scatter.
He was still as irreverent as ever. With a teasing laugh, he said without expecting a reply, “I missed you. So I came.”

Theme: More than just love
It's so good to watch, it makes me cry until my heart aches in the middle of the night. It's not a huge abuse, but I feel sorry for their misunderstanding and the three years they were not together. If there are readers browsing the main page of this novel, I hope you can stop and take a look at this novel. It is worth it.
Although it's a little late to see this, and several days and nights have passed since New Year's Eve, I still want to add a happy new year. I wish Mr. Zhao and Miss Feng all the best. Every year, every day is better than the present. Finally, I hope the new year is better than the old one, and everything will be fine. Spring is here.
Can we wait for Xixi's baby?
Happy New Year 🎉 It's a little late, but I'm so lucky to have found this treasure article. I really like the joy of starting this year. I hope our Xixi and Boss Zhao are also happy 🥰
