"Zhizhi, I really, really miss you. I think of you every single day. Whenever I feel sad, I go to the places where we once were, imagining that if you were by my side, you would surely comfort me with a smile and cheer me up. I’ve had many moments where I felt the urge to go find you, but I didn't know where you’d gone. I would just go outside the security guard’s booth at your old place and wait. Every time a figure passed by that looked like yours, I’d hope it was you, but you couldn't hear my thoughts, and there was no way for you to make that hope a reality."
"Waiting for you was truly agonizing, but I’m glad I persevered, and I’m so grateful that you persevered too. The moment I saw you again, I felt it was all worth it. Even if you didn't intend to be with me anymore, just being able to see you again was enough."
Zhen Zhinian was just about to open her eyes and kiss him when she heard those words. She didn't dare move, lying still and listening to him.
