Meng Zihan's eyes lit up as she gazed at Gu Yifei with deep affection.
"Brother Yifei, do you know how important your words are to me?"
"Like a ray of light shining into my dark world, it gave me the courage to keep going."
As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and placed her hand on the back of Gu Yifei's hand.
Her palms were cold and trembling slightly.
"Then..." She gazed at Gu Yifei, her eyes filled with pleading and expectation, "Would you be willing to start over with me?"
Gu Yifei stared at Meng Zihan's face, somewhat stunned.
He neither nodded nor shook his head, as if frozen in place by the question.
The light in Meng Zihan's eyes dimmed little by little as he fell silent.
With tears in her eyes, she slowly withdrew her hand.

“Yes,” she laughed self-deprecatingly, her voice as soft as a sigh, “I shouldn’t have had any expectations in the first place.”
"I shouldn't expect that when everyone else has abandoned me, you will still stand by my side as always."
Seeing this, Gu Yifei panicked and quickly explained, "Xiaohan, that's not what I meant..."
"I see."
Meng Zihan interrupted him, as if she already knew everything.
She picked up the wine bottle, filled her own glass, and then filled the empty glass in front of Gu Yifei.
“In that case,” she raised her glass to him, “you don’t need to say anything more, just have a drink with me.”
"Maybe if I get drunk, I won't think about these worries anymore."
"Maybe in my dreams, everything I want can come true."
After saying that, she tilted her head back and downed another glass of wine.
This time, she didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Gu Yifei.
That gaze was like an invisible net, trapping him firmly.
Gu Yifei felt a little sad under her gaze. His throat went dry, and he wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out.
He knew that any words at this moment would seem pale and powerless.
Finally, under Meng Zihan's gaze, he picked up the glass of wine that had been poured for him.
He stared at the clear liquid in the glass, brought it to his lips, and drank it all in one gulp.
