"I only have one question. Give me the answer and I'll leave."
Lu Jia was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "You chased me all the way from Dali to Kunming, I thought you had changed your mind!" After a slight pause, she continued, "...To be honest, Michael...I've always been confident that although your current girlfriend seems perfect, I'm the one who's been with you for three years, experiencing all the ups and downs. You can't possibly let me go so quickly, so you must have changed your mind."
"Answer my question first. Before we broke up, you met with Wang Lei once. What exactly did you talk about that time?"
Lu Jia's expression became very complicated. After a long silence, she said to me, "Wang Lei is already gone. What's the point of you figuring all this out?"
"Let me ask you from another angle: why did you choose to break up with me back then? Was it really because you couldn't get a sense of security and hope from me?"

I looked up at Lu Jia...
She whispered to me again, "If you still love me, let's make a promise. You wait for me for two more years. After I finish all my courses in France and get my degree, I will come back to China and marry you... By then, our financial situation will only be better than it is now, and the conflicts that existed before will naturally disappear... On the other hand, if you really fall in love with someone else, I won't bother you anymore... It's really that simple!"
