The two left the Half Mountain Villa.
Liang Ciqiu appeared only then.
He gazed blankly at the spot where the couple had embraced and kissed.
The distress in his heart wrapped around him like threads of a needle.
Their sweet and warm interactions were what he had pursued all these years, he too wished to be with Su Ran like any ordinary couple, leaning on each other and sharing their respective joys and sorrows.
The love he sought was that simple.
Yet he couldn't even hold her hand.
Su Ran always treated him as a brother.
It was he who had delusional hopes of having her, for whom he had done many wrong things, and he seemed to be getting tired.
He took out his phone and looked at Su Ran's number; she had been his support all along this journey.
She was like a beam of light, brightening his poverty-stricken childhood.
