Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Qingchen's attempt to win her back, and her heart was full of contradictions. She knew that Shen Qingchen made that decision to protect her, but the pain in her heart could not be easily erased. She decided to reject Shen Qingchen's attempt to win her back and face the future alone.
Jiang Zhi sat quietly by the window, the sunlight streaming down her face, but unable to reach her gloomy heart. Her eyes revealed a complex mix of resolve and confusion. Shen Qingchen's repeated attempts to win her back were like waves, constantly crashing against her heart, but the walls of her heart, once shattered, were difficult to rebuild.
She recalled every moment she had spent with Shen Qingchen, those beautiful times seeming like yesterday. They'd strolled through the park together, hand in hand, admiring the beautiful sunset, its warm afterglow illuminating their happy faces. They'd cooked together at home, the kitchen filled with laughter and warmth, each dish imbued with their love for each other. Yet, all of that was now a thing of the past, shattered by Shen Qingchen's sudden decision to divorce.
Jiang Zhi's thoughts drifted back to the moment when Shen Qingchen filed for divorce. She saw the helplessness and pain in his eyes. She understood that he was trying to protect her, but the pain in her heart was always there. The feeling of being hurt by the person she loved most was like a thorn deeply embedded in her heart. Every time she thought about it, she felt unbearable pain.
During this time, Shen Qingchen had been sending gifts, apologizing, and making promises. Those beautiful gifts piled up beside her, yet they seemed so cold and unfamiliar. His apologies echoed in her ears, but every word was a reminder of her past pain. His promises, though they sounded so sincere, she no longer dared to believe them.
Jiang Zhi stood up, walked to the pile of gifts, and gently picked up an exquisite gift box. When she opened it, she found a necklace that she had once glanced at in a magazine. She remembered that she had just casually said that she thought it was beautiful, but she didn't expect Shen Qingchen to remember it. Looking at the necklace, a ripple in her heart, but it was quickly covered by pain. She knew that this was not just a necklace, but also Shen Qingchen's love for her, but she really didn't know how to face this love now.
She put the necklace back into the gift box, sat back on the sofa, and sighed deeply. She knew that she couldn't forgive Shen Qingchen so easily. She needed time to heal the pain in her heart and to re-examine the relationship between them.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi's phone rang. It was her good friend Lin Xiao calling. Lin Xiao asked about her recent situation with concern on the phone. Jiang Zhi told Lin Xiao about Shen Qingchen's attempt to win her back. After listening, Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said: "Jiang Zhi, I know you feel very sad, but you should also give Shen Qingchen a chance. After all, he made that decision to protect you, and he is now trying to make amends. You can't keep immersing yourself in the pain of the past. You must bravely face your heart." Jiang Zhi listened to Lin Xiao's words and felt a little shaken. She knew that Lin Xiao was right, but she was really afraid of being hurt again.
After finishing her phone call with Lin Xiao, Jiang Zhi decided to go out for a walk to relax. She went to a coffee shop they used to frequent and sat down at their usual seat. She ordered a latte and quietly looked out the window at the street scene. People came and went in the coffee shop, each with a different expression on their face, some happy, some sad, just like the various aspects of life. Jiang Zhi looked at these people, feeling a mixture of emotions. She felt like a person lost on the road of life, not knowing where to go.
At this moment, Shen Qingchen also came to this coffee shop. He saw Jiang Zhi sitting by the window at a glance, and his heart was excited. He walked over slowly and sat down opposite Jiang Zhi. The moment Jiang Zhi saw Shen Qingchen, she was a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure.
Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi, his eyes full of guilt and love. He said softly: "Jiang Zhi, I know you are still angry with me, but I really hope you can give me a chance to make it up to you again. I know I hurt you, but I promise that I will use my whole life to protect you and will never let you get hurt again." Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Qingchen with mixed feelings. She was silent for a moment, then said: "Shen Qingchen, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really need time. I can't forget the hurt you have caused me yet, and I need time to adjust my mentality." Shen Qingchen felt a little lost after hearing Jiang Zhi's words, but he also understood Jiang Zhi's feelings. He nodded and said: "Okay, Jiang Zhi, I will wait for you. I will use my actions to prove my sincerity, and I hope you can forgive me soon."
After saying that, Shen Qingchen stood up and left the coffee shop. Jiang Zhi looked at his departing back, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She didn't know if what she did was right, but she knew that she had to be responsible for her own heart.
In the days that followed, Jiang Zhi began to work hard to adjust her life. She devoted more time and energy to work, using the busy work to numb her inner feelings. She dedicated herself to treating every patient in the hospital, and seeing them gradually recover under her care brought her a sense of comfort.
However, Shen Qingchen's figure always lingered in her mind. Every look and every word of his were deeply imprinted in her heart. Sometimes, she would inadvertently think of the good times they had together, and a warm feeling would surge in her heart, but it would soon be replaced by the pain of reality.
