1. An Yi had secretly loved Xie Yao Chen for four years,
tasting every joy and sorrow the world had to offer.
She and he could not share each other's happiness or pain, nor understand each other's hardships or joys. They could not walk through time together.
Good men and women each crossed their own rivers and set off toward their own futures.
They should not let a single ripple from the past hold them back.
"My heart has changed. Please take care of yourself. From now on, we need never meet again, no matter how far apart we are."
2. Later, Xie Yao Chen returned from abroad.
An Yi had found a new suitor.
Xie Yao Chen watched the young couple in the distance, so perfectly matched, and couldn't quite make sense of how he felt.
His mentor's wife studied his expression and asked bluntly, "What is it? Did someone beat you to the woman you like?"
Xie Yao Chen seemed to grasp the meaning of her words only then. It was a possibility he'd never considered.
He fell silent for a few seconds, then gave a wry laugh. "An Yi? How could that be?"
