In the fifth year of their marriage,
she knew that something had changed, after all.
-
She was tired.
It turned out that love really did fade with the passing years.
Lately, Wen Wen had been waking with a start in the early hours, dreaming of the past. The sweetness and fluster of their youth had blurred into a beautiful dream.
Making reality seem so ugly.
At dawn, she seemed to hear a commotion.
The one who had left had come back.
They had once loved each other.
"Is it because of Chen Rui?" he demanded, his voice hoarse.
It hadn't been like this at the beginning.
"We promised each other forever... You said so... Wen Wen!"
"...I'm sorry."
He cried.
She remained silent.
In the end, they were destined to drift apart.
Beneath the cold moonlight,
the world was a graveyard in the night.
Back then, he thought they could grow old together.
But she said it was over.
Let it be.
