Song Jin never received any so-called fatherly or motherly love from a young age.
His parents separated and lived separately shortly after he was born.
He had a lot of money, tutors, and many things that others couldn't have, but no one ever gave him love.
She fell in love with Xu Anran in kindergarten. At that time, she didn't know that her father's name was Song You.
"Hey, why are you crying? He bullied you, so just bully him back!"
Back then, he was very popular in kindergarten because of his good looks. A chubby boy was jealous of him and beat him up badly.
He couldn't win, so he could only cower in a corner and cry.
Xu Anran appeared around that time.
Like a ray of light illuminating his world.
He couldn't believe that Xu Anran, who was so small, would have such strength; she actually pinned the chubby boy down in front of him and beat him up.
She called him over to help beat him up, but he was too scared and she called him a coward.
From then on, the chubby boy never dared to bully him again.
Song Jin enjoyed a peaceful and happy life for quite some time.
He was too young then to know what liking someone meant; he only knew to follow Xu An around.
At first, Xu Anran treated him very well.
Later, after his father picked him up from kindergarten one day, Xu Anran suddenly stopped talking to him.
Xu Anran said that her father was a bad person who had bullied her mother.
He hated his father back then.
He didn't want his father to come pick him up.
But Dad seems to really like Xu Anran's mother; he comes over every time.
Xu Anran disliked him even more.
Song Jin was very distressed, but he was just a child and there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, the other children didn't dare to bully him, because Xu Anran would appear if they did.
"Let me tell you, only I can bully Song Jin. Anyone who dares to mess with him, I'll kill them."
Xu Anran is incredibly strong; she actually broke a stick in half with her bare hands.
Everyone was afraid of Xu Anran, and Song Jin was also somewhat afraid of her.
He didn't know why he was so afraid of her, yet he always wanted to follow behind her, willingly becoming her little brother.
He didn't know that was called liking someone.
No one ever told him that.
No one has ever liked him.
Because he lacked love so much, he was always very sensitive and insecure, and always wanted to please everyone and make everyone like him.
So whenever someone asks him for help, he will help them.
He enjoyed the feeling when they thanked him and praised his kindness.
It was as if the whole world loved him.
He didn't know that there were many girls there who had ulterior motives towards him.
He didn't know, but it was precisely because of this that Xu Anran would drift further and further away from him.
If he had known, he would never have done those things.
By the time Song Jin realized that Xu Anran had once loved her, she had already lost her forever.
"Song Jin, call him brother-in-law."
When Song Jin looked at the man beside her, her heart clenched painfully.
"An Ran, are you kidding me?"
"Song Jin, do I look like I'm joking?"
Xu Anran took the man's arm, smiled sweetly at him, and turned to leave.
Song Jin stared at her retreating figure, as if she had lost her soul.
That shouldn't be the case.
That light shone on him, and it shouldn't be taken back.
When he found Xu Anran again, her lips were very red and her eyes were wet. Song Jin didn't understand what that meant.
Until he saw the handsome man behind her.
The man embraced Xu Anran, seemingly ignoring her, and kissed her on the lips. He told her to wait for him inside before turning and going inside.
When Song Jin saw that Xu Anran's lips had turned even redder, she finally realized what was happening.
His heart felt like it was being slowly tortured, and with red eyes, he asked her, "Anran, you..."
Xu Anran smiled. "Didn't you see it all?"
At that moment, he almost couldn't hold back his tears. "Anran, no, please break up with him, okay?"
Xu Anran looked at him, puzzled: "Why do we need to separate?"
"I...I like it..."
Xu Anran said with a smile, "But Song Jin, it's too late."
The girl looked at him with a sense of loss in her eyes. Many years later, Song Jin realized that it was disappointment.
Xu Anran was extremely disappointed in him.
She no longer wanted to like him; he had lost her forever.
But Anran, I don't know.
No one taught me how to love you, how to keep you...
On the day of Xu Anran's wedding, Song Jin closed her eyes forever.
As the blood from his wrist stained the bathtub water, the wedding gift he had given to Xu Anran was left unnoticed in a corner, covered in dust.
Many years later, Xu Anran moved house, and the wedding gift seemed to have been treated as trash, transported to the landfill, and burned to ashes.
At first, some people came to pay their respects at Song Jin's grave, but over time, no one set foot there anymore. The place was overgrown with weeds and seemed to have been completely forgotten.
The wind was blowing fiercely, and the photo engraved on the tombstone had turned gray, with cracks separating his name.
Song Jin thought, "Let's leave it at that."
The fact that he lost Xu Anran means that no one in this world will remember him anymore.
But why, Xu Anran, did you reappear just when I was about to forget you?
Song Jin sat to the side, watching the girl's hand caress the tombstone.
She is so beautiful, she still looks young, as if she will never grow old.
She gently stroked his name, her voice more tender than ever before: "Song Jin, go and reincarnate, stop clinging to this."
Song Jin never expected that she would know that he still had a remnant soul left in the world, even though he had been very well-behaved and had never bothered her.
