Shen Qingchen stood in front of the mirror, holding the carefully selected necklace in his hand, looking at it over and over again. The necklace shimmered brightly under the light, and each tiny diamond was like his love for Jiang Zhi, pure and dazzling. He had spent a lot of time and energy to choose this necklace. He remembered that when he was shopping with Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi stopped in front of the jewelry store window, her eyes lingering on this necklace for a long time. The affection in her eyes, although fleeting, was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Since then, he's been thinking about giving this necklace to Jiang Zhi. In countless busy moments, he'd recall Jiang Zhi's look when she saw the necklace. That look was like a fire burning in his heart, solidifying his resolve. He even personally visited several jewelry stores to inquire about the necklace's details, including its design inspiration and the quality of the diamonds, just to ensure it was worthy of Jiang Zhi.
Today, he finally mustered up the courage and brought the necklace to Jiang Zhi's residence. His emotions surged like the ocean waves, filled with anticipation, yet also tinged with nervousness and uneasiness. He didn't know how Jiang Zhi would react when she saw him, let alone whether she would accept the gift. But he told himself that no matter what the outcome, he had to give it a try; this was his first step toward winning Jiang Zhi back.
When he reached the downstairs of Jiang Zhi's residence, his steps became unusually heavy. He wandered downstairs for a long time, sometimes looking up at Jiang Zhi's window, sometimes looking down at the gift box in his hands, and various possible scenarios kept appearing in his mind. His palms were slightly sweaty, and his heart was beating violently in his chest, as if it was about to burst through his chest.
Finally, he took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the door of Jiang Zhi's house. With every step, he could hear his heartbeat echoing in his ears. He stood at the door, raised his hand to knock, but hesitated, his hand hanging in the air for a few seconds before knocking gently.
There were light footsteps coming from inside the door, and each sound seemed to knock on Shen Qingchen's heart. The moment the door opened, Jiang Zhi appeared in front of him. She was wearing a simple white home dress, her hair was casually tied behind her head, and her face was without any makeup, but she was still so beautiful that Shen Qingchen held her breath. When Jiang Zhi saw that it was him, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, including surprise, anger, confusion, and a hint of imperceptible sadness.
Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi nervously, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak for a while. After a moment, he found his voice and said tremblingly: "Jiang Zhi, I... I came to see you." Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, his eyes cold and distant.
Shen Qingchen felt like he was in an ice cellar. Jiang Zhi's eyes made his heart ache. But he still tried to calm himself down. He knew he couldn't back down like this. He took out the gift box containing the necklace from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Zhi a little awkwardly, and said, "Jiang Zhi, this is a gift for you. I...I hope you can accept it."
Jiang Zhi's gaze moved from his face to the gift box in his hand, then moved away coldly. She didn't reach out to take it, but said coldly: "Do you think these things can make up for the harm you have done to me?" Her voice was like the cold wind in winter, biting and cold, and it went straight into Shen Qingchen's heart.
Shen Qingchen's face was filled with embarrassment, his hands frozen in mid-air. He felt his face burning as if it were on fire, and his heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. He knew that his past actions had caused great harm to Jiang Zhi, and these injuries could not be easily compensated by a gift. But he still hoped that this gift could convey his feelings, even if it was just a little bit.
"Jiang Zhi, I know I was wrong. I know this gift is insignificant, but it represents my heart. I really regret my previous decision, and I blame myself every day. This necklace was carefully selected by me. I remember you have seen it before. I hope... I hope you like it." Shen Qingchen's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were full of sincerity and regret.
Jiang Zhi sneered and said, "Your intentions? Your intentions were worthless when you did those things. Do you think that giving me a necklace and saying a few words of apology will make me forget the harm you have caused me? You are too naive, Shen Qingchen." There was a spark of anger in her eyes, and every word was like a sharp blade, stabbing Shen Qingchen fiercely.
Shen Qingchen's body trembled slightly, and he felt that his world collapsed at this moment. He knew that Jiang Zhi's anger was what he deserved, but hearing these words from her mouth still made him heartbroken. "Jiang Zhi, I know you may not believe what I say now, but I really want to make up for my mistakes. I will use my actions to prove that I will wait for you until you are willing to accept me again." He looked at Jiang Zhi with a firm gaze, trying to let her feel his determination.
Jiang Zhi looked at him, the anger in her eyes was gradually replaced by a trace of sadness, "Action? Do you think I will still believe your actions? You have deceived me once, I will not give you a second chance." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to close the door.
Shen Qingchen hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the door, "Jiang Zhi, please don't do this. I know I disappoint you, but I can't live without you. You are the most important person in my life, and I am willing to do anything for you." His voice was pleading, and his eyes were full of despair.
Jiang Zhi stopped what she was doing and looked at him. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference. "Chen Qingchen, let go. We can't go back. Go away and don't come to me again." She pushed the door hard, and Shen Qingchen's hand was pinched by the door, but he didn't let go.
