Sunlight streamed through the window into Zhou Yue's bedroom, waking her from her sleep. She rubbed her drowsy eyes and sat up in a daze. In an instant, the image of Lin Yu and Su Yao holding each other affectionately last night rushed into her mind like a tide. Her previously languid expression froze instantly, replaced by a face full of loss and melancholy.
Zhou Yue and Lin Yu had known each other for a long time, and her feelings for Lin Yu had long been deeply rooted through the sedimentation of time. For so many years, she had silently watched his every move, witnessed his growth and struggles, and countless times in her heart she had imagined walking hand in hand with him for a lifetime. However, Su Yao's appearance was like an impassable chasm lying between her and Lin Yu.
Zhou Yue got up and walked to the window, gazing at the bustling street outside. People were busy on their respective tracks in life, yet she felt as though she had lost her way in the labyrinth of emotions. She recalled their accidental encounter in the park last night; the tightly intertwined figures of Lin Yu and Su Yao were so dazzling, and the affection in their eyes made her feel as if she were a redundant person. At that moment, the bitterness and pain in her heart reached their peak. Her persistence and devotion over such a long period of time suddenly seemed to become completely meaningless in that instant.
