Has there ever been someone who made you fall so deeply in love that you could never stop thinking about them?
For Jiang Sinian, Lin Ran was that person.
While everyone else was setting the stage and talking about goodbyes,
only he knew in his heart how unwilling he was to let go.
At the time, I thought it was just an ordinary day.
I was still lost in our simple, everyday love,
when the news I received was that we were saying goodbye forever.
It turns out that goodbyes never come with advance warning. They always catch you off guard.
Though life is full of partings, there will be a time when we meet again.
As I dreamed of our future, you left me behind and went on ahead.
Years later, Jiang Sinian remained alone.
Whenever a matchmaker came calling, he would simply show them the plain band on his ring finger.
