The old political commissar said so much, just to tell Lan Li that it was mostly his fault that he and Ding Jinshi ended up like this. Although Ding Jinshi now has another man accompanying her, Ding Jinshi used to give a lot for Lan Li too. It’s just that Lan Li didn’t hold onto it, didn’t cherish it well, so a grown man can’t expect a woman to keep giving endlessly. Won are to be cherished, not bullied.
"Lan Li, I might sound like an old man preaching, but I feel I must say this. The little girl from the Gu Family, Gu En, right? You all spoil her too much. Just think, what kind of things is she doing? She opposes you being with Ding Jinshi in every possible way, even threatening with her own life. Even if she’s your little sister, you can’t spoil her like this. Gu En is still young now, but being spoiled like this, one day she’ll beco soone who doesn’t know her limits."
Lan Li nodded, and after a long while, stubbed out his cigarette, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "The debts I owe, I should repay."
"Owe what?" The old political commissar was puzzled.
"Nothing, it’s late, Uncle, you should go rest. Otherwise, Aunt will find out you’ve been out here in the cold smoking with all evening and give a scolding with a broom." Lan Li changed the address to Uncle with a more intimate tone, but still had no intention of explaining.
After the old political commissar left, Lan Li just moved to a different place to continue standing.
As the fifteenth approaches, the moon in the sky is nearly full. Such a night moon seems to easily evoke mories of the past.
Undoubtedly, in Lan Li’s mories, the clearest and most unforgettable are all the things about Ding Jinshi, all the tiny details about her.
After they broke up, for as long as Ding Jinshi didn’t return, he cut off all news about himself. Although Lan Li never spoke or asked, he constantly missed her, worried about how she was doing alone abroad, worried that she might suffer, and was even more worried that she would beco disillusioned with love because of his breakup.
Fortunately, in that unexpected eting, he saw that she hadn’t beco as thin as he feared. When he saw her, her face turned pale, but before that, her healthy, rosy complexion at least told him that these years, Ding Long took good care of her.
It’s just a bit regrettable that the person who did this for her wasn’t him, who missed her deeply.
He once loved her like life itself, yet ultimately, he was the one who let her go first.
Although he’s still alone today, he never thought to complain that she already had soone else by her side. As the one who let go first, he has no right to ask her to keep waiting for him.
Ding Long and Ding Jinshi’s engagent banquet was grand and luxurious. From the venue’s arrangent, you could see that every detail was done with care. Almost every corner of the banquet was filled with Ding Jinshi’s favorite pink roses, fresh flowers, fine wine, and enchanting music, making the place beautifully magical tonight.
"The banquet has started, let’s go inside. Ding Long has been greeting guests in the hall for a while now." Chen Shan looked at Ding Jinshi, who was expressionless in front of the mirror, and gently persuaded, "Lan Li won’t co, I asked for you. He’s still in the army, he won’t suddenly appear like in a movie to take you away. Jinshi, this outco is the fifty percent chance you once considered, so you should accept it."
