Everyone's gaze falls on me.

　　I lower my head, a bitter smile on my lips that no one sees.

　　What am I still hoping for? I should have known the answer long ago.

　　Chen Xiangheng gives me a proud smile.

　　I glance at him, not saying anything, and leave.

　　Liu Qingyu seems like she wants to say something, but in the end, she doesn't.

　　I walk out of the banquet hall, the summer night breeze carrying a refreshing coolness, dispersing the gloom in my heart.

　　I was about to walk along the road for a bit when a car on the side suddenly lights up and honks twice at me.

　　I am startled.

　　Song Yi appears from the window, her face filled with a smile.

　　'Why are you out so early? I thought it would be late.' I am shocked.

　　'How did you end up here?' 'I found out the address of the annual meeting for Lu Chuan Company, and I was worried you would drink too much and have no one to send you home.' Song Yi whispers, 'Your wife's lover should be here too, right?' I laugh at her joke.

　　'Yes, we just had a big battle.

　　The enemy and I had disparate strengths, so I had to retreat for now.' But Song Yi isn't joking with me.

　　She seriously examines my expression and waves at me.

　　'Do you want to go see the sunrise?'...

　　I must be getting old, I really can't understand what young girls are thinking these days.

　　Sitting in the bumpy car, on the mountain road, I am still a bit dazed.

　　Why did I agree to come and see the sunrise with her in the middle of the night?"

　　Leaving my Rolls-Royce parked, I didn't go home but slept on my 800,000-yuan mattress.

　　Sitting in this secondhand car with a wobbling butt, I followed Song Yiyi up the mountain.

　　At the mountaintop, it was pitch dark.

　　She carefully held my hand and we sat on a large rock.

　　I looked up and was speechless, shocked by the scene before me.

　　The vast darkness stained the clear deep blue of the sky, with starlight above and city lights below, twinkling in harmony.

　　Behind us was the dark universe, and for a moment, I couldn't distinguish between the lights above and the lights on the ground.

　　The summer night wind carried the scent of grass and trees as Song Yiyi nestled in my arms.

　　"It's beautiful, isn't it? Whenever I'm feeling down, I come here," she said.

　　I remained silent for a moment and asked, "How did you know I was feeling down?" She rested her chin in the nape of my neck.

　　"Your eyes looked sad." I stopped speaking.

　　All in all, I had only been with Song Yiyi for half a year.

　　But what about Lu Qingyu? I thought for a moment and realized I couldn't count anymore.

　　High school, university, graduation...

　　more than ten years? I used to be able to count, but now I am too lazy to bother.

　　Can someone you've known for half a year tell that you're feeling down? Lu Qingyu certainly could.

　　She just didn't care.

　　I finally understand now a question that I had never been able to figure out.

　　I didn't understand how Lu Qingyu could easily leave me after all those years together and suddenly fall in love with another man.

　　It turns out it has nothing to do with time, only with love.

　　I turned my head and realized that Song Yiyi had been watching me the whole time.

　　There were countless stars and lights here, but she only reflected in her eyes.

　　"Jiayue," even though she was much younger than me, she never called me "brother" and always addressed me by name.

　　She spoke seriously, "Don't be sad, you're better than anyone else.

　　Not loving you is her loss, not yours." Perhaps it was the wind blowing into my eyes, but suddenly they felt a bit sour.

　　I didn't say anything, lowered my head, and kissed her.

　　Song Yiyi was taken aback but obediently closed her eyes.

　　A young girl's kiss is so passionate and unrestrained, a single spark is enough to ignite a fire.

　　I felt my rationality evaporate along with her kiss.

　　Even the wind seemed to freeze, forced to be imprisoned here, heating up and rolling together with us.

　　I flipped over and covered her body.

　　She didn't refuse.

　　When the sweat dripped onto her chest, I closed my eyes and held her tightly.

　　Just this once, I told myself.

　　Call me despicable if you want.

　　Let me follow my heart's desire.

　　Even if it's just this moment, let another woman completely fill the void left by Lu Qingyu.
