Tan Jiao's Perspective

  I now have a strange feeling. Looking at Wu Yu's face, it was the same face as half a month ago, but I feel both familiar and strange.

  Perhaps this is how women who have been abandoned in love look at the heartless men.

  My mind was a bit muddled and I blurted out subconsciously, "I'll go to Lishui County with you too!" He looked at me, but all I could think of was biting off my own tongue. What was I thinking?

  Is that what you think?

  I composed myself and said calmly: "Since it's related to that ship, I'll go take a look at the situation too."

  He said, "Don't go. What if there's any danger, I'll have to worry about you too. Besides, going to the professor's house, it's not convenient for me to bring someone along."

  I bid farewell to Wu Yu in a very ordinary way, just like two normal friends. When I was about to leave the 4S shop, I casually asked him: "Oh, by the way, when are you going to pick up the clothes you left at my place?" He was already squatting down fixing another car, looking very focused, and only showed me his muscular back, saying: "I'll get them when I come back from Lishui County." I said: "Okay." And turned around to leave.

  I took a few steps out and turned back, looking at the man's back, which was tightly lined with muscles. There was a strong urge to rush up and punch him twice.

  But I ended up driving home with a distracted mind anyway.

  Next, I was in a daze for two hours. Whether eating, watching TV, or browsing the internet... it all felt like I was in a trance. My body was here, but my mind wasn't. There was always a voice in my heart reminding me that it's impossible to be with him now, and maybe even in the future. With my personality, I would never chase after a man. Since he no longer has feelings for me, I need to work hard to make sure there's no more space for him in my heart.

  But what he said on the phone at the barbecue restaurant last night kept popping into my head:

  Like jade...

  How could Rui Yi change so much?

  I came over to see you and Ruying.

  And when he mentioned that woman, his eyes were on me, but a very gentle and slightly dazed smile appeared on his face. Xiaohua and the others also said that the woman Wu Yu had been thinking of before was her?

  Although I don't quite believe that. I don't think he can look at me with those eyes and still have another woman in his heart. But who can guarantee that the former heavenly pride, handsome and talented, didn't have a previous girlfriend? Moreover, although he admitted to having feelings for me, he could reject me so bluntly. After all, it's because his feelings are too shallow, he can easily give up.

  At this point, I felt a pang in my heart.

  If he can give up, then so can I.

  After thinking back and forth for so long, I finally lay alone in bed, staring at the pale ceiling, chaotic thoughts were swept away, but some ideas were like rocks soaked in seawater, slowly emerging, so eye-catching, impossible to sink again.

  He can give up on me. I know I should give up, I couldn't bear being treated like this.

  But can I bear it?

  I can let go of this person and never have a romantic relationship with him again in my life. After some time or a long time, I will develop feelings for another person. And he will eventually leave me too.

  That man named Wu Yu will eventually leave Tan Jiao. The proud man on the boat, the man who squats on the ground to repair cars, the passionate and intense man who kisses me with a melancholy gaze.

  Tears fell from my eyes all at once.

  I finally saw it clearly.

  I don't want to part with it.

  I so want to be with him. From the moment I saw him on the boat, I couldn't forget him. I fell in love with him wholeheartedly.
