"We are destined to have fate but no destiny."
"Lin Yixun, by doing this, you are being unfair not only to but to yourself as well."
"In this world, where is there absolute fairness?"
"Yes, in this world, there is no such thing as absolute fairness or unfairness." Ouyang Hao smiled bitterly. After a long silence, he said softly, "Yixun, I understand your dilemma and respect your decision, but before we say our final goodbye, could I take you to a place?"
Lin Yixun turned to look at the man’s profile, feeling a part of her heart slowly collapsing. For the sake of her family, she gave up their love. She thought Ouyang Hao would feel resentful and hate her, but she never imagined that one day, he would agree to let go himself.
No quarrels, no resentnt, just a peaceful breakup. Lin Yixun thought she would feel relieved and light-hearted, but instead, she found a huge hole had been pierced through her heart, leaving a painful void.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing, but sadly found no sound could co out. In the end, she let her hand fall weakly.
This was it, the best outco for her and Ouyang Hao.
After an indefinite amount of ti, she finally found her voice again, trembling as she said, "Okay!"
Ouyang Hao suddenly gave a radiant smile, like a child who had finally gotten candy after much effort. However, that enchanting smile made Lin Yixun’s heart ache even more.
It turned out he could be so easily satisfied. Even such a small request could make him so happy.
After about two hours of driving, they finally arrived at an ancient city on the outskirts of T City. The ancient city was surrounded by green waters and featured white walls and black tiles, a typical water town in Jiangnan.
Since it wasn’t the weekend, there weren’t many tourists. Walking on the bluestone street lined with willows swaying in the breeze, Lin Yixun felt her heart quiet down.
"How is it, not bad, right?" The man curved his lips into a smile.
"Mm." Pretty good.
They walked shoulder to shoulder, speaking little but sharing an unspoken understanding. Without saying much, they both cherished this rare ti together.
When they passed by a qipao shop, Ouyang Hao suddenly stopped and said to Lin Yixun, "Want to take a look inside?"
"Sure." Lin Yixun agreed.
Since it was a weekday, the qipao shop wasn’t busy. The shopkeeper was naturally enthusiastic upon seeing custors.
"Miss, what kind of qipao are you looking for?"
"I’m not sure, just browsing."
Ouyang Hao interjected, "Owner, could you recomnd sothing nice?"
The owner looked Lin Yixun up and down and smiled, "Miss, you’re about 1.65 ters tall, right?"
"Mm, around that."
"Tall and slender, how about trying this blue and white porcelain style?" The owner pointed to a qipao behind Lin Yixun.
"I’m just looking around, no need to try it on." Lin Yixun smiled.
But Ouyang Hao interrupted, "I think it looks nice. Why don’t you try it on? It doesn’t cost anything to try."
The owner nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, in our shop, you can try on any qipao."
Lin Yixun thought, since she had nothing else to do, she might as well try it on.
Taking down the qipao, Lin Yixun followed the owner into the fitting room. It took about two or three minutes to change into it.
When Lin Yixun stepped out, the owner’s eyes flashed with amazent, "I told you, this qipao suits you. You look even better than I imagined. Sir, don’t you agree?"
