Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Qingchen, with a complex emotion in his eyes: "Shen Qingchen, I have seen your changes, but I still can't trust you easily. The hurt you have brought to me is too deep, and I need time to slowly heal."
Shen Qingchen nodded: "I know, I will give you time. I just hope you don't completely shut me out. I will wait for you until you are willing to accept me again."
Jiang Zhi didn't say anything else. She walked around Shen Qingchen and left the library. Shen Qingchen looked at Jiang Zhi's departing back, feeling helpless. But he knew that this was already a good start. At least Jiang Zhi was willing to listen to him.
In the days that followed, Shen Qingchen continued to work tirelessly. On Jiang Zhi's birthday, he would anonymously give her a special gift—a photo album that recorded their beautiful memories. Each photo in the album was accompanied by a heartwarming caption, written by Shen Qingchen himself, recording his cherishment of every moment and his love for Jiang Zhi.
He would also encourage and support Jiang Zhi anonymously when she encountered setbacks. He would send some inspirational articles and warm words to Jiang Zhi's mailbox, so that Jiang Zhi could feel a little warmth in difficult times.
Although Jiang Zhi was puzzled by these anonymous gifts and encouragement, she did not know that it was Shen Qingchen who did it. Her heart gradually changed under these warm gestures. She began to feel that perhaps there was still beautiful love in this world, but she did not know whether this beauty could still belong to her and Shen Qingchen.
One day, Jiang Zhi was walking in the hospital garden. She saw an elderly couple walking slowly hand in hand. Their faces were filled with happy smiles, and they clung to each other, as if the whole world belonged to them alone.
Jiang Zhi looked at them, feeling moved. She remembered that she and Shen Qingchen had also dreamed of such a life in old age, walking together in the sunset, accompanying each other forever.
Just then, she received a text message. The message was anonymous and read: "Jiang Zhi, you know what? True love stands the test of time, just like that old couple. I hope you can find your happiness, whether it's with me or someone else. But I hope even more that you can give us a chance to start over."
Jiang Zhi looked at the text message, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know if it was from Shen Qingchen, but she knew her heart had begun to waver. She didn't know whether she should bravely take this step and embrace love again, or continue to escape and let this feeling be buried in her heart forever.
This was a difficult decision for her, a decision that would affect her lifelong happiness.
The author has something to say:
Dear readers, in this chapter, we saw Shen Qingchen's efforts and Jiang Zhi's struggles. Love is sometimes like this, full of twists and turns. When we hurt the one we love most and want to redeem ourselves, it often comes at a huge price. And for the injured party, it takes a lot of courage to accept the other person again. I hope everyone can feel the complex emotions between them, and I also hope that everyone can cherish the one in their love and not wait until they lose it to regret it. What do you think of their relationship? Feel free to leave a message in the comment section!
