Liyi felt不忍 seeing Li An like this and tapped the driver's seatback, wanting the driver to change the song. Suddenly, Li An turned his head with a miserable look, staring at his big brother, "Brother, let the driver take you home. I'll go to the airport first without going back home."

"Li An, where are you going" Liyi asked worriedly, furrowing his brows.

Li An took a deep breath and tried to look normal again, "Brother, I won't be fine. I just feel stifled and want to go out for a walk."

"Li An..." Liyi sighed helplessly.

The painful and exhausted expression on Li An's thin face made Liyi heartache; his usually eloquent brother was at a loss as to how to comfort him today.

Having Li An watch Yan Luoxi with Shao Junhe together was truly the cruelest thing in the world.

"You can go, but tell me where you're going," Liyi tried to stop Li An but gave up and compromised.

Li An turned his head to look out of the window for a long time before softly saying, "I want to go to Haikou."

Liyi understood that Li An wanted to visit the villa in Haikou. He felt an overwhelming emotion he couldn't describe and finally nodded, letting Li An go.

There are things we believe belong solely to us at one point; perhaps we don’t care about them much then. But when these things become someone else's, we feel incredibly shocked—this is a mental disparity that is hard to ignore or bear.

In this world, nothing truly belongs to anyone definitively.

Lǐ n only now understands a truth.

The海口 he brought with him slowly drifted towards the direction of the beach villa. The sea breeze filled his despair and pain like sails swelling up; as he got closer to the villa, his face grew paler and his features began to tighten, an indescribable bitterness welling up from his heart to his eyes.

It was the peak tourist season in海口; people occasionally passed by him in twos or threes, either sweethearts or cozy families of three.

A profound sense of loneliness and loss overwhelmed Lǐ n. He looked up at the villa not far away, feeling a sorrow that left nowhere to hide spilling out onto the ground.

Choosing it meant abandoning this life for eternity from then on.

Lǐ n saw an empty house for the first time in his life and felt timid. He didn't continue walking forward but instead found a secluded rock away from the crowd to sit down on.

The red sun at the horizon was about to sink into the sea, its crimson light spreading over the rippling waves like blood after a murder.

He and Yán Luòxī had held hands countless times in such evenings of sunset, walking along the beach, eating street food, writing their names on the sand with a large heart-shaped pattern around them, then watching the tide wash it all away.

But today there was only him sitting here alone.

In this moment, Lǐ n realized how foolish his revenge had been. His bad temper would surge so powerfully that he'd lose all sense of reason, acting like a mad dog.

Yet the love they once shared remained etched deeply in his heart... and made him feel immensely guilty for his foolish actions and Yán Luòxī's former tolerance and affection.

"Yán Luòxī… Do you know how sorry I am How sorry…" Lǐ n stood up and cried out to the sea, tearing his heart apart.

Lian took out a cigarette, lit it, and watched the smoke drift in the sea breeze.

For a period of time, he had quit smoking for Yan Luoxi's sake. After parting ways with her, however, he started smoking again. Suddenly feeling a pain in his fingertips, Lian looked down to see that the cigarette had burned down and singed his finger. This unexpected sharp pain brought him a strange comfort.

The pain on ** made his heart finally feel somewhat better.

Lian stood up, took a deep breath, and walked towards the villa where he used to live with Yan Luoxi.

This villa was originally borrowed by Li Yi from a friend. Later, Lian bought it at a high price to commemorate his happy days with Yan Luoxi. After they left, an employee remained behind to take care of cleaning and maintenance.

Standing in front of the villa's door, Lian felt an indescribable sensation.

The place that was once full of joy is now filled with loneliness.

Lian took out his key and opened the villa's door.

Before coming here, he had already informed the caretaker to temporarily leave because proud Lian did not want anyone to see his sorrow and despair.

The room was pitch black inside. Perhaps there were flowers placed inside; a faint fragrance wafted over, still Yan Luoxi’s favorite gardenia flower.

Lian inhaled the scent of the flowers, his mind wandering, and he stumbled slightly, leaning on the doorframe to prevent himself from falling. A thin layer of mist had already clouded over his eyes.

This darkness made him even more anxious; hurriedly reaching out, he turned on the living room’s large light. The interior, with its European-style decor, was still classical and luxurious.

Picky by nature, Li An used to think this place was as beautiful as paradise. But today, when he entered it, he felt cold and eerie, making his body shiver.

Li An stood in the living room, looking around. If he hadn't acted so crazily before and had married Yan Luoxi, perhaps they would be here now on their honeymoon, with laughter echoing in every corner of the house.

Tiredly, Li An sat down on the sofa. No matter how empty this place was, it still retained traces of Yan Luoxi's presence. Sitting for a while, he yawned; after days without rest, drowsiness slowly crept upon him. He leaned back and fell asleep.

In his sleep, Li An felt as if he had returned to the past when he and Yan Luoxi lived here together. Vaguely, he saw Yan Luoxi holding a child and smiling at him; she was like all proud mothers, her face shining with maternal pride.

Li An tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see clearly the child's face, but no matter how much he squinted, it remained blurry. Rubbing his eyes, when he opened them again, he found that outside, day had already broken—he had only dreamed...

The dawn came early here; Li An had just slept for a short while and the sun was already rising in the east. He frowned, trying to recall everything from the dream but found it impossible.

Outside the window, the weather was clear with bright sunshine, yet Li An felt that this world was unrelated to him. He had no interest in going out; he locked himself inside the house.

In this room, Li An walked slowly, touching and imagining how they used to live here together.

He searched over and over again for any trace of Yan Luoxi's presence left behind in this room.

The maids had tidied up the place too well after their departure; many small items that belonged to Yan Luoxi, such as half-used cosmetics, hairpins, and wooden combs, were packed away by them.

Li An stubbornly opened every cabinet in the room, looking at Yan Luoxi's clothes in the walk-in closet and her jewelry box in the vanity set, feeling that she was still here beside him...
