Zou Xu was a distant relative of Jiang Enfu's family, so distant they were barely related.
To her, this taciturn man seemed dangerous in every way, but...
But in the summer after the college entrance exams, her mother stormed into Zou Xu's rented room. Amid the shouting, this same quiet man, who had brought her so much joy, stood in front of her and shielded her from her mother's blows.
Later, after she started college, on the pedestrian bridge outside Beijing West Railway Station,
Jiang Enfu stood before the man, her face streaked with tears, begging him to stay in Beijing for her.
Zou Xu wiped her tears away. "Be good, Jiang Jiang."
On the taxi ride back to school, the song "Tong Hua Shun" was playing. It reached the line, "Perhaps I can move this heart of stone."
Jiang Enfu's eyes were red as she whispered to herself that there was no chance, because Zou Xu had no heart.
