Ah Yu returned from outside and saw Lin Wanqing sitting on the edge of the bed with a strange look in her eyes. A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly went to Lin Wanqing's side, taking her hand: "Wanqing, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Lin Wanqing raised her head, looking at A Yu with eyes full of reluctance and deep affection: "A Yu, I've made up my mind. Let's break up." Her voice was soft, yet it exploded in A Yu's ears like a thunderclap. A Yu was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears, staring blankly at Lin Wanqing as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him.
"Wanqing, what are you saying? Why? Didn't we agree to face difficulties together?" Ah Yu's voice trembled slightly as he gripped Lin Wanqing's hand tightly, as if she would disappear the moment he let go. Lin Wanqing bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes again: "Ah Yu, we can't be so selfish anymore. Gu Yanting won't let us go, and Zhong Hua has suffered so much because of us. If we continue to stay together, it will only plunge everyone into a deeper predicament."
“But Wanqing, we can figure out a solution together. I’m not afraid of Gu Yanting. I will protect you and Zhong Hua,” Ah Yu said anxiously, his eyes filled with pain and confusion. Lin Wanqing gently shook her head: “Ah Yu, don’t be silly. Gu Yanting’s power is too great. We can’t fight him at all. Besides, Zhong Hua’s mother is in critical condition. She needs our help. We can’t add any more trouble to her.”
Ah Yu closed his eyes in anguish. He knew that once Lin Wanqing made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. But he simply couldn't accept giving up his relationship with Lin Wanqing like this. "Wanqing, is our relationship really so fragile? After so many years, are you really willing to give it up?" Ah Yu's voice was pleading. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Lin Wanqing with eyes full of pain.
Lin Wanqing threw herself into Ah Yu's arms and burst into tears: "Ah Yu, how could I bear to part with you? I don't want to be separated from you either, but I have no choice. I love you, so I can't just watch you fall into danger because of me, nor can I turn a blind eye to Zhong Hua's suffering." Her cries echoed in the small house, as if fate was playing a cruel joke on them.
Ah Yu hugged Lin Wanqing tightly, tears streaming down his face. He knew that Lin Wanqing must have gone through countless painful struggles to make this decision, and that she must be suffering even more than he was. But he was truly unwilling to lose her like this.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the only sound in the world was their weeping. They embraced tightly, as if trying to merge their bodies into each other's souls, but they both knew this might be the last time they would ever hold each other so intimately. Before the wheels of fate, their love seemed so small and fragile, yet so resilient and unwavering. Although Lin Wanqing's heart was filled with pain, she knew that her decision was for the good of A Yu and Zhong Hua, and even if it meant living in pain for the rest of her life, she was willing to bear it. A Yu, though unable to accept this reality, understood Lin Wanqing's helplessness and kindness. He could only silently pray that one day they could reunite and continue their unfinished love story.
