During her youth, when love was the most beautiful, and the springtime of her life was the purest, from the age of eighteen to twenty-two, all her joy and happiness were associated with him. Although she was initially attracted to Qin Zhiyou’s handsome face, it was with Qin Zhigu that she experienced genuine love – the sweetness, tenderness, and sensation of a lifelong companionship.
When Qin Zhigu returned, Lu Weixi had much contemplated her possible reactions. She wondered whether she would respond with arrogance or apathy, whether she would ignore or scorn him, acting as if he was once a man she spurned and is now too lofty for him to reach! But when Qin Zhigu actually appeared in front of her, even though she only saw his back, and they hadn’t met face to face, her heart was already churning with wild waves of emotions!
Despite knowing that Qin Zhiyou was ahead, and that she should not meet Qin Zhigu, she involuntarily took a small step forward. Not for any particular reason, but just to get a glimpse of him, to see what he looks like now.
However.
As she took that small step, a soft feminine voice suddenly sounded from beside her, “Zhigu.”
This voice, it was as if someone spilt a pail of cold water on a red-hot iron, instantly extinguishing the tiny flame in Lu Weixi’s heart.
From a few steps away, Lu Weixi’s eyes grew cold, silently and distance standing behind Qin Zhigu, she noticed a woman in a white dress emerge from the adjacent crowd, her face soft and framed by long black hair. This woman, Lu Weixi would recognize her, even in ashes.
That woman was her father’s mistress’s daughter, once her very best friend, and the one who stole her boyfriend – Cai Yiren!
Cai Yiren’s eyes overflowed with joy upon seeing Qin Zhigu, she quickly took a few steps closer standing by his side, gazing at his face with a tender and adoring expression.
Then, Cai Yiren seemed to sense something, she anxiously looked back at the space where Lu Weixi had been standing, which was now occupied by onlooking crowd, no trace of an individual figure was discernible.
On the deck.
The sea breeze was cold. The endless, pure blue sea that stretched to the horizon during the day, had turned into an inky darkness at night. Standing on the deck and looking around, despite the full moon lighting up the sky, all that met her eyes was darkness, mirroring her current mood.
Lu Weixi lightly kicked an empty can, the can rolled forward making a crisp sound. She found it slightly amusing, not at the can, but at herself.
She was laughing at herself. Five years had passed, and she still hadn’t developed the calm and composed demeanor she thought she would have, still being disturbed by the appearance of these two people.
It’s said that a woman’s choice in a man is often a reflection of her father. If a woman experiences harmony between her parents in her childhood, and her father is capable and responsible, then often her boyfriend would have a similar character to her father. However, if her father is brutal, then she would seek a man who is the complete opposite, to make up for the loss she endured during her childhood.
She belonged to the first type. For the first twenty-two years of her life, her parents were harmonious, and her father was gentle and affectionate towards her. Hence, it was inevitable that she would be attracted to Qin Zhigu who was gentlemanly, indulged her, and catered to her. However, when her father became a scumbag, another person appeared in Qin Zhigu’s life.
How similar it was.
Looking back, although she and Qin Zhigu were in love, there was always a third person in their relationship. Not Qin Zhiyou, but Cai Yiren..
