Jiang Zhi stood in front of the window, staring at the street scene outside in a daze.
The streets are bustling with traffic and people hurrying by. Everyone seems to have their own clear direction, but she is lost in the maze of emotions.
Ever since Shen Qingchen broke into her life, her heart was like a lake with a stone thrown into it, rippling layer upon layer, and could never return to its former calm.
Her thoughts drifted back to every detail of her encounter with Shen Qingchen.
From the first encounter in the cafe, Shen Qingchen's stunning appearance seemed to have his own light, and his deep eyes revealed a heart-warming mystery.
At that time, she was obsessed with revenge for Tang Junxi and had no time to care about anything else.
But Shen Qingchen walked into her world step by step as if it was destined.
His pursuit was passionate and persistent.
The flowers sent to her every day, those gorgeous flowers and affectionate cards, although she indifferently gave them to the old man on the roadside, but now thinking about it, it was such a pure expression of love.
Those love letters that she threw into the trash can, each of them was poured with Shen Qingchen's hard work, and expressed his love for her in the most sincere words, but she didn't even look at them at the time.
And those romantic encounters that were created, whether it was the umbrella that protected him from the wind and rain on a rainy day, or the cup of hot coffee that was handed to him when he was tired, every detail revealed Shen Qingchen's intentions.
When did Jiang Zhi's heart begin to waver? Perhaps it was that candlelight dinner.
On that night that Shen Qingchen had carefully planned, he looked particularly charming under the flickering candlelight.
The gentle words seemed to have a kind of magic, like a trickle of water, slowly seeping into the hard line of defense in her heart.
His affectionate eyes seemed to melt her completely, making her feel the warmth of love for the first time.
However, the inner struggle also reached its peak at that moment.
On the one hand, Tang Junxi’s death is a pain that can never be erased from her heart.
It was a pain that penetrated deep into her bones, like a sharp sword, always hanging over her heart.
Her determination for revenge is like a burning flame, blazing brightly.
In her opinion, love may become a stumbling block on her road to revenge. She is afraid that she will be distracted by feelings and afraid that she will let Tang Junxi down.
Moreover, she didn't want to involve Shen Qingchen in her revenge journey which was full of danger and unknowns.
Although this man looks strong and confident, the dark forces involved in his revenge may be beyond their imagination.
On the other hand, Shen Qingchen's sincerity and persistence made her impossible to ignore.
He was like a ray of warm sunshine, penetrating the layers of haze in her heart.
He didn't care about her indifferent attitude, and always protected her, helped her find clues, and accompanied her in facing difficulties.
This kind of unwavering companionship is something she has never felt from anyone else.
In this world full of calculations and hypocrisy, Shen Qingchen's love is so precious and rare.
Jiang Zhi paced back and forth in the room, the conflict in his heart like two ferocious beasts fighting fiercely.
Her hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She tried to calm herself down and think seriously about the meaning of this relationship.
She remembered Jiang Yao's appearance.
That rich girl was like a discordant note that suddenly broke in, disrupting the original rhythm.
Although Jiang Yao's jealousy and instigation did not make her completely believe it, it did plant a seed of doubt in her heart.
Jiang Yao said that Shen Qingchen was just in love with her on a whim and would not really fall in love with her, and Shen Qingchen's family would not accept a woman with a vengeful heart.
These words made her a little shaken at the time, but now she understood that they were just lies made up by Jiang Yao to achieve her own goals.
Shen Qingchen’s confession still echoed in her ears.
He said he didn't care about her past or revenge, he only cared about her as a person.
He was willing to face all difficulties with her and accompany her to find clues to Tang Junxi's murder.
These words were like a ray of light shining into her dark inner world, dispelling the shadows brought by doubt and fear.
His love was so selfless and inclusive that it made her feel warm and guilty.
Jiang Zhi knew that he could not always be bound by the pain of the past.
If Tang Junxi were still alive, he would definitely not want to see her immersed in hatred forever and lose the courage to pursue happiness.
She also understood that the appearance of Shen Qingchen was an opportunity given to her by fate, an opportunity to embrace life and feel love again.
After a long and painful thinking, Jiang Zhi finally made a decision.
She has to accept Shen Qingchen’s feelings.
This decision seemed to have exhausted all her strength. The moment she made up her mind, a sense of relief she had never felt before surged into her heart.
She knew that this was a new beginning, the starting point for her to bid farewell to the pain of the past and the starting point for her to move towards a happy future.
She picked up the phone, her fingers trembling slightly, and dialed Shen Qingchen's number.
Shen Qingchen’s expectant and somewhat nervous voice soon came from the other end of the phone: “Jiang Zhi, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Shen Qingchen, I've made up my mind. I am willing to accept your feelings."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Shen Qingchen's excited and trembling voice came: "Jiang Zhi, are you serious? I've been waiting for this sentence for too long."
Jiang Zhi's mouth curled up slightly, tears flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "Yes, I'm serious. I know our road may still be difficult, but I want to go on with you."
