Shen Qingchen stood quietly, watching Jiang Zhi's resolute back as he left. That figure was like a sharp sword, piercing his heart. His eyes were filled with pain, and this pain was like a surging tide, impacting his soul wave after wave. He knew that his past actions were like a ruthless knife, ruthlessly cutting deep wounds in Jiang Zhi's heart. Those wounds were now festering and festering. How could they heal easily?
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the tangled mess of emotions. He took a few steps forward, his voice hoarse but full of determination as he spoke: "Jiang Zhi, I know you probably won't believe anything I say now, but I still have to tell you. I promise you that I will get to the bottom of everything. Whether it's the mastermind behind Tang Junxi's murder or the truth behind my father's death, I will not miss a single detail. I will bring the punishment due to those who hid in the darkness, bring justice to you, and atone for my unforgivable mistakes."
Jiang Zhi paused for a moment, but only for a moment before she continued walking forward, as if she hadn't heard Shen Qingchen's words. However, her heart wasn't as calm as it appeared. Shen Qingchen's words were like a stone dropped into the middle of a lake, rippling a ripple deep within her already frozen heart. She recalled every moment she had spent with Tang Junxi, and those beautiful memories had now become the most painful wound in her heart. Tang Junxi's death was like a thick haze, shrouding her heart, making her unable to let go. And Shen Qingchen's betrayal had added lightning to this haze, shattering her heart.
"Your promise is worthless." Jiang Zhi stopped but didn't look back. Her voice was as cold as the winter wind, freezing any warmth. "You once promised me that you would always be with me and face all difficulties with me. But what happened? When I needed you the most, you chose to leave me and hurt me together with Jiang Yao. Those promises were like bubbles, beautiful but fragile, shattered in the face of reality. I will never trust you so easily again, and I will never let myself fall into the pain of being hurt by you again."
The pain in Shen Qingchen's eyes intensified. He clenched his fists unconsciously, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he was completely unaware. He knew that every word Jiang Zhi said was true. Those promises had now become the sharpest thorns between them. "I know I was wrong, so wrong." Shen Qingchen's voice trembled slightly. "But this time is different. I mean it. I will prove it with my actions. I will spend my whole life to make up for my mistakes. I know this is difficult, and you may not forgive me easily, but I will not give up."
Jiang Zhi turned around slowly, her eyes full of indifference and disdain, "A lifetime? Do you think a lifetime is long? Do you think that a few light words can erase the harm you have caused me? You are too naive, Shen Qingchen. My heart is dead, and you killed it with your own hands." Every word she said was like a knife, stabbing Shen Qingchen fiercely.
Shen Qingchen looked at the indifference in Jiang Zhi's eyes, and his heart ached, but his eyes remained firm. "I know my words seem powerless to you now, but I will let you see my determination. I am no longer the same person I used to be. I have experienced a lot and thought a lot during this period. I know what is most important to me, and you are the most important person in my life."
"Hmph, determination? How big can your determination be? Can it compare to your determination to hurt me back then?" Jiang Zhi sneered, "Don't disturb my life anymore. This is my final warning to you." After that, she turned around again and left without looking back.
Shen Qingchen stared at the direction Jiang Zhi had left, motionless for a long time. He knew the road to winning Jiang Zhi's heart back would be paved with thorns, but he was ready. He recalled the happy times they had spent together, and those sweet memories had become his motivation to persevere. He secretly vowed that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would definitely enter Jiang Zhi's heart again, even if it cost him everything.
In the following days, Shen Qingchen began his long and difficult road to redemption. He would pay attention to Jiang Zhi's dynamics every day to understand her life situation. He knew that Jiang Zhi was very busy at work in the hospital, sometimes even working until late. So, he would wait silently near the hospital to make sure she could go home safely after work. Once, it suddenly rained heavily when Jiang Zhi got off work. She didn't bring an umbrella, and when she was about to go home in the rain, Shen Qingchen appeared. He walked to Jiang Zhi with an umbrella, wanting to shelter her from the rain. But Jiang Zhi gave him a cold look, and then rushed into the rain. Shen Qingchen hurriedly chased after her, stuffed the umbrella into her hand, and said, "You will get sick if you do this." Jiang Zhi ignored him and continued to move forward. Shen Qingchen could only silently watch her back in the rain. The rain soaked his clothes, but he was completely unaware.
Another time, Jiang Zhi met a very difficult patient's family member in the hospital, who made unreasonable accusations and insults to her. Jiang Zhi held back her tears and tried to stay calm. After Shen Qingchen learned about it, he wanted to find the family member to argue, but he knew that this might bring more trouble to Jiang Zhi, so he chose another way. He used his connections to find the senior management of the hospital, reported the situation to them, and ensured that the hospital would take measures to protect the rights and interests of medical staff. He also arranged for someone to send Jiang Zhi a bouquet of flowers and a card, which read: "Don't let those unreasonable people affect your mood. You are the best doctor and I believe in you." After seeing the flowers and the card, Jiang Zhi's heart moved slightly, but she still threw the flowers into the trash can.
