Then, the problems between them were slowly exposed, bit by bit, and as time went by, more and more were exposed. They both took it to heart and accommodated each other at the same time, and neither of them wanted to wrong the other.

Later, Chonglou disappeared and something happened. What happened afterwards made their bond deeper and deeper, and Chonglou became more and more painful.

If we say that when Zhu Jin started to change again and again for Chonglou, making Chonglou heavier and heavier, then when Helian Lan died and Zhu Jin could not walk, Chonglou finally wavered.

The drop of blood on Zhu Jin's neck became the last straw that broke the camel's back, making him say the word "break up" in person.

He knew very clearly that he, who he once thought was the best match for her, could not give her everything he had promised, and could not give her everything he wanted to give Zhu Jin. Not only could her life not be better, but it was also completely changed by him. His identity, his profession, his ability, and his feelings for her were all the most inappropriate for her on this day.

"You didn't say anything, because you know why I said we should break up." Chonglou finally looked at Zhu Jin, who had been crying silently, and raised his hand to wipe away the hot tears. "Zhu Jin, while there is still time, I will let you go. We will each live a life that suits us. There will be no pain without compromise, and we will live a plain and comfortable life."

"I have never felt any pain when I was with you, Chonglou. You have never brought me any pain." Zhu Jin finally spoke up, "Never."

She had been moved by him, because she had been troubled, worried, ashamed, and angry by him, but she had never felt pain. Because of Chonglou, she had tasted the ups and downs of life, but no matter how much ups and downs there were, they could not compare to the sweetness. Because he was good to her and cared about her more than anything else, she had never thought that they would separate.

Although she never said it, she had already identified Chonglou.

Chonglou knew what she was thinking, just as she knew him. She thought that no matter how difficult their situation became, Chonglou would never say anything about breaking up.

Zhu Jin grabbed Chonglou's hand that was wiping her tears, and looked up at him. "Everyone is different, and everyone has their own temperament and habits. When two people are together, they should tolerate each other. Since we are together, it is only right that we share all the hardships. There is no such thing as compromise. Chonglou, we have come this far, why can't we continue on?"

"Without me, you are living a plain and peaceful life, at ease, and leading a life that suits you. But without me, are you happy? Am I happy? Chonglou, don't give up just because of this."

"I know, I know what you are saying, but I don't want to, I can't bear it." Chonglou smiled, raised a hand to wipe Zhu Jin's tears again, "I don't want to give you even a little bit of forced accommodation, I just want to give you peace of mind."

"When I liked you, I just liked you and wanted you to like me. When I fell in love with you, I just wanted to give you stability and peace of mind, so that you could be happy and worry-free. But I can't give you stability, I can't give you peace of mind." Chonglou's smile was uglier than crying, and he finally pointed out the most fundamental problem between them.

To put it bluntly, he couldn't give her a sense of security, just as he couldn't give it to himself.

After he fell in love with Zhu Jin, he could see the sides of Zhu Jin that others could not see, so he wanted to give Zhu Jin the most suitable and favorite life, but he couldn't give it to her no matter what he did.

Zhu Jin tried to shake his head desperately but was stopped by Chonglou.

"Zhu Jin, don't deny it and don't talk anymore. Every word you say will only make me more hurt." Chonglou helped her tidy up her hair. "You haven't even noticed it yourself. You have always been worried about me and can't trust me completely. The degree of your trust in me is not even as high as...Shi Shangbai across the street. You subconsciously believe in him, believe in his words, believe in his personality, believe in his abilities, and the sense of security he can give you. I have always wanted to have it and have been working hard to pursue it, but I can't do it."

"Chonglou..." Zhu Jin's tears suddenly stopped and she looked at Chonglou fiercely.

"I'm sorry. I mentioned Shi Shangbai not because of the accident today. It was just because you bent down and he stood up, and your lips brushed his face. I admit that I care about him, but I care less about the sense of security he can give you." Chonglou knew that Zhu Jin had misunderstood and hurried to explain.

The accident is not scary, what is scary is everything it brings.

"Zhu Jin, I have never understood why you can't believe in me, believe in my abilities, and believe in me wholeheartedly." Chonglou's last sentence stunned Zhu Jin.

She had never thought about this question.

After Chonglou revealed the truth, she realized that she had never believed in Chonglou wholeheartedly. Over the years, the person she trusted the most was not Chonglou, but Shi Shangbai whom Chonglou mentioned.

Why can’t you trust Chonglou wholeheartedly?

She knew clearly that Chonglou would do his utmost to protect her, but deep down, no matter what Chonglou became, the deep-rooted impression in her heart was that he was still the same as when they first met.

Not a lover, not a man you can rely on, but a young person, a junior.

They met too early, before Zhu Jin's mentality had fully adjusted. At that time, Chonglou was just a junior to her.

Chonglou was too dazzling and too attractive. Later, even in her state of mind, he still deeply attracted her. He was like a dazzling moon, which made her heart beat and happy.

Chonglou changed a lot later on. He became strong, able to vent her anger and protect her, but deep down in her heart, her first impression of him would never change.

Moreover, because of Chonglou's personality and behavior, she couldn't even rest assured about him and dared not trust him completely.

Under such circumstances, there was only one thing she could think of and do, which was to grow up faster and no longer be a burden to him.

But all this is what Chonglou doesn't want.

Why do you trust Ishigami Kashiwa more?

Because when she met Ishigami Kashiwa, her mentality had slowly adjusted, because Ishigami Kashiwa was a responsible father, he always kept his word and was calm, he was the kind of person who could really raise Shi Wei's special son for more than ten years just because of a promise...

Zhu Jin looked at Chonglou and couldn't speak. She couldn't give these reasons.

She and Chonglou met too early.

Chonglou watched Zhu Jin staring at him blankly, her expression so sad, and he swallowed down the countless choking sensations that rose up in his throat. He knew that since she hadn't spoken, she would never speak again. He helped Zhu Jin wipe the moisture off her face meticulously and combed her hair, "Don't cry, and don't be so sad. I always remember the way we first met after you lost your memory, and I always remember every word we agreed to say at that time."

"Zhu Jin, I don't love you anymore and I don't want to love you anymore." Chonglou finally said this, "Let's be strangers from now on, Zhu Jin, I don't want to be friends with you." No man will be friends with a woman he likes with no hope of being together.

"Don't contact me or pay attention to me in the future. No matter how many years have passed, don't talk about being friends, unless you want to keep me hanging and hope that I will never forget you." Chonglou smiled, as if they were the first time they met, so wantonly and brightly, "Even if you hope, I won't do as you wish."

"We have never been friends, and we will never be friends in the future." Chonglou stepped back, "Goodbye."

"Wait a minute..." Zhu Jin called him, "There is something I have always forgotten to tell you. Qu Mai told me before that he didn't expect his plan to be disrupted by me. He also said that it was fortunate that he had made some arrangements before. Although he is dead, I don't know what other arrangements he has made. You... must... must be careful." This was the advice Zhu Jin said subconsciously at the last moment.

Chonglou paused and did not move for a long time.

How could she do this? How could she do this?

At this moment, how could she say such words? At this moment...

Did she think he would never forget her? Chonglou looked up and saw the flying car slowly descending from the sky and Shi Shangbai walking out of the flying car...

He laughed, took a step forward, took Zhu Jin's hand, walked two steps forward, and looked at Ishigami Bo who cast a doubtful look at him, "Have you guessed why I have been here and watching the other side say breakup? I can't tell myself, whether it is ill-intentioned, or I sincerely hope that you can be happy and safe in the future. But at this moment, Zhu Jin, I just hope that you can be happy and safe with the person who gives you peace of mind in the future."

Zhu Jin burst into tears again, this fool, fool! Chonglou watched Shi Shangbai approach slowly.

He personally held the hand of the woman he loved, and walked her step by step into the hands of another man. He watched her burst into tears, smile, turn around, and leave, just as they had promised, and walked out of her world from then on.

In the darkness, Chonglou disappeared from Zhu Jin's sight and disappeared from her world.

After that day, Zhu Jin never saw Chonglou again for a long, long time.

When he saw Chonglou again, he no longer saw her first at first sight as he did before. He passed her by as if he didn't see her at all.

He completely left her world.

Although they lived in the same space, and although news of each other came so frequently in each other's world, Zhu Jin knew that after that day, the man who was like a fire and a dream had completely left her world.

Chonglou is the biggest regret in Zhu Jin's life. Because of Chonglou, her life has become an imperfect life.

That night, Zhu Jin stood quietly in the backyard until midnight, and finally walked back to the house step by step with difficulty under the persuasion of her aunt. That night, Shi Shangbai rarely got angry with Shi Wei, and did not allow him to persuade Zhu Jin or appear in front of her.

He stood in the dark room all night.

That night, Chonglou went to Yu Liren to ask for wine that could intoxicate him, but he said that his wine was ineffective and no matter how much he drank, he would not get drunk and could not sleep.

He just wanted to get some sleep and get through the night.

When Yu Liren arrived, Chonglou's face and eyes were red. He took the wine from him and drank it. After drinking it, he said to Yu Liren clearly, "Zhu Jin and I broke up. You should be more careful in the future. Please tell my brothers for me."

"If you're so unwilling, then don't break up." Yu Liren's eyes darkened, "You'll be ruined by her for the rest of your life!"

Chonglou laughed, "My friend, you are wrong. I am not unwilling. She even risked her life for me. Why should I be dissatisfied? I really just want to sleep today."

When I fall asleep, I don’t have to think about it, and I’m not afraid of going back to find Zhu Jin.

When he liked her, he fought for her with all his strength. When he knew he had to give up, he gave up with the greatest strength in his life. Even if he was a useless drunkard, he would never appear in front of Zhu Jin again.

Chonglou raised his glass and said, "Yu Liren, let me drink a glass to your friend. I deserve a drink from you."
