She froze for a while, thinking he was about to confess something, or perhaps give her a status, marry her.
Unfortunately, after hesitating for a moment, he just smiled, and said nothing more.
The disappointment emerged from the pain deep in her heart.

Her unrequited love, once it started, persisted for seven years.
Then finally, when the news of Gu Zixuan came, on the day he was going to Beijing.
The joy and excitement in his eyes were a brightness she had never seen before.
Her heart ached terribly, full of despair, making her desperately want to grasp onto something, so she asked him for a kiss.
He kissed her, only regretfully it turned into the one thing she needed least—desire.
In the moment she embraced his body, she never felt more like a walking dead.
