On a cold winter night, amidst the swirling snow.
Ling Hanwu's heart was filled with bone-chilling cold! Utter despair!
…………
“Chuchen, you also like snow; how about we go see the snow together another day?”
“Sure!”
“Chuchen, it might snow in a couple of days, I’ll come find you then.”
“Well… that’s not good. I’ve already made plans with Ge Yin to go see the snow together. Do you want to join us?”
“I… then I won’t go. I’m afraid I’ll have things to do in the next few days.”
“Chuchen, it’s going to snow again. The weather has been so gloomy lately. I’ll take you out to play in the wind and snow; I believe it will be an extraordinary experience.”
“No, I’m sorry, Hanwu. You know, Ge Yin is gone, and I… I have no feelings left… I’m sorry…”
“Chuchen, this year…”
“Chuchen… you… aren’t going again?”
“Chuchen…”
“Chuchen, my greatest wish in this life is to watch the snow with you…” Ling Hanwu said with a pleading tone back in the spring of this year.
At that time, Ye Chuchen had replied, “Alright, on the day it snows, I’ll help you fulfill this wish.”
Ye Chuchen’s expression was calm, but there was a hint of guilt.
Watching the snow together, aside from running in the snow during childhood, never happened once growing up.
Having lived for so long in the snow and ice, Ling Hanwu’s greatest wish as an adult was simply to watch the snow with the person he loved.
From filled with hope, to slowly disappointed, then to a faint hope that he barely dared to voice… and finally, in a moment of hysteria, he made a desperate request.
Ye Chuchen finally agreed.
At that moment, Ye Chuchen simply wanted to fulfill this wish for the one who had always taken care of her, Hanwu. There was no ulterior motive.
Ling Hanwu understood, but he didn’t mind. So this time at the Myriad Medicine Convention, the family pharmacist wasn’t supposed to be him. But he insisted on coming. He had to come!
He once thought that when they watched the snow together, he would tell her how many legends were contained in the snowflakes, how many dreams existed in this icy world… how he practiced and understood things in the snow…
He once thought that when they watched the snow together, he would tell her how much he liked her, how pure his heart was for her. Just like the snow, white and flawless, untainted. Yet it connected heaven and earth, filling them both…
He once thought that when they watched the snow together, he would kneel in the spirit of this world, using the weather granted to him by the heavens, dressed in silver, with the most sincere heart, to propose to her…
He once thought…
But in the end, he only wanted to watch a snowfall with her.
Even if they said nothing, they could quietly walk a distance while listening to each other’s soft breathing… that would be enough.
Even if he knew that while watching the snow with him, she was thinking of someone else.
He still hoped to have this journey of walking in the snow!
This was his lifelong dream!
But this dream finally shattered today!
Ye Chuchen finally, under the pressure of the family, at the brink of life and death, chose. She pledged to marry Meng Chaoran!
If she took a step back, she could have infinite life.
But she took a step forward!
Taking this step meant death!
But she had no regrets!
She was unrepentant, but at that moment, Ling Hanwu fell into an unfathomable abyss.
The one he loved had become someone else's wife, the wife of his best friend!
Previously, though he knew she would eventually become someone else's wife, it hadn’t happened yet!
But now, the status had changed!
Even if it was just a title.
But a wife is different from a free woman!
If Ling Hanwu were to invite someone else's wife to walk in the snow, even he would feel something was off!
Now, the snowflakes dancing in the air were like a mockery of Ling Hanwu’s wishes over the past decade! Each flake shattered his heart!
