At the end of summer that year, Luo Yu brought Qu Lingyuan to Japan to watch the fireworks display as promised. They each bought a kimono they liked and sat by the water.
Thinking back to what happened last year, although it hadn't been that long, it felt like a lifetime ago. Each mission didn't take long, and the remaining days seemed like a reward, always making her feel immersed in happiness.
There was singing from the crowd, and fireworks were lit.
"The surging waves,
What was snatched away from my feet?
In the calm,
Only the setting sun gradually fades away."
The sky was lit up, like New Year's Eve.
With a "bang", light burst out and fireworks came into view.
Summer...must not be over yet...
......
After returning to China, Qu Lingyuan followed Luo Yu to meet his parents and grandparents. After meeting his ancestors, Qu Lingyuan discovered that the Luo family was not only great because of Old Man Luo. Luo's grandfather was a man who had fought on the battlefield and had won real military merits. She even remembered that Grandpa Luo's name appeared in history books. She had guessed it before, but she didn't expect it was really him.
Grandpa Luo is a serious and stern man. Many younger generations are afraid of his severity, but he is rarely kind to Qu Lingyuan and often smiles.
The two of them are only in their sophomore year and school has not started yet, but the Luo family is eager to set a date for their wedding, which shows how satisfied they are with Qu Lingyuan.
In their sophomore year, Luo Yu and Qu Lingyuan became the director and deputy director of the News Department, which directly led to the new students joining the Student Union having to be fed dog food by their bosses while working hard every day, and they spent a fulfilling and sad time in college.
Luo Yu is one year older than Qu Lingyuan. As soon as they reached the age, they got a marriage certificate and held their wedding immediately after graduating from university.
Qu Lingyuan is a small wealthy woman, and Luo Yu is even richer. Their wedding was extremely grand, and they invited all their friends from college and... their family in the south.
The girl’s family members only included Qu Lingyuan’s three roommates and Bai Yan.
All these years have not diminished their love for each other in the slightest. Even after hearing countless confessions, Qu Lingyuan still shed tears when Luo Yu said "I do".
"You're married, but the three of us are still single. Only Xiaoning has a boyfriend."
Because of Qu Lingyuan, Bai Yan, Zhu Xiaoning and the other two also became familiar with each other.
"I should be getting married soon," Zhu Xiaoning said with a happy face, making a bunch of single people envious. She had been dating her boyfriend for the entire college, and both of them had already met their parents and were discussing marriage.
Unfortunately, after attending Qu Lingyuan's wedding, the five sisters went their separate ways to find their own jobs and lives. When Zhu Xiaoning got married, she was still missing Yu Xiao, who was on a business trip abroad and could only attend the wedding via video call.
A few years later, Qu Lingyuan suddenly started retching while eating and was taken to the hospital for examination. She was found to be pregnant. In the autumn, she gave birth to a beautiful daughter, named Luo Ye. Luo Ye was lively and lovely, with eyes and eyebrows that resembled her mother. Luo Yu held her in his hands like a pearl all day long.
Since freshman year, more than ten years have passed in a flash. Qu Lingyuan's family lives a happy life and has a lovely little son. Lin Ruoyu has just been released from prison.
For more than ten years, all her youthful years were wasted. She turned from a bright girl into a middle-aged woman. Years of imprisonment made her look not much better than an old lady. At the age of 33, she looked like a person in her 40s.
Now thinking back to her teenage years, Lin Ruoyu has lost her admiration for Luo Yu and erased her resentment towards Qu Lingyuan. She feels that what she did in the past was so meaningless and would only trap herself in a quagmire.
But it was no use saying anything. Now, she just wanted to find a job to survive.
On the anniversary of Zhou Xiaoqian's death, Lin Ruoyu packed up her few clothes, bought a bouquet of flowers with her limited money, and came to her grave.
This was the first time she truly repented.
But who will forgive her?
Zhou Xiaoqian’s spirit in heaven won’t do that, and neither will Qu Lingyuan.
She was just comforting herself by revealing her conscience as time gradually wore away the bad edges, that's all.
