Nian Yuyu spoke calmly about the painful past she had always tried to forget, and it seemed even the grievances she had once felt were a bit less severe.
Meanwhile, in Chu You's deep black eyes, a flash of indignation was quickly replaced by an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and suddenly moved closer to Nian Yuyu, hugging her tightly into his arms.
Nian Yuyu didn't speak; she closed her eyes, feeling warmth around her eyes.
"I'm sorry," Chu You's clear and melodious voice rang out by her ear.
He had never imagined that the girl he wanted to cherish had suffered such humiliation.
A dense, prickling pain spread out from where Chu You's heart was.
He stroked Nian Yuyu's soft hair, "Three years ago, I was still in Beijing pursuing my doctoral degree."
"If at that time I knew my girlfriend would be facing grievances three years later, I would have rushed to your side."
Chu You had never felt he met Nian Yuyu too late; everything seemed just right.
