In the evening breeze scented with osmanthus, Roderick’s lips lightly touched mine, cautiously yet with courage.
Andrea felt like the whole world was spinning, the vines in the
corridor stretching out in the twilight, as if weaving a cover for their forbidden love.
“What should we do?”
She leaned on his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat.
Roderick’s chin brushed against the top of her head.
“Don’t let my parents know yet. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
“Buzzing-”
The vibration of the phone woke Andrea up from her sleep, the only light in the darkness was the cold glow of the phone screen.
She opened the message box with sleepy eyes.
It was a message from mom.
In the photo, the double–sided embroidered veil lay in a brocade box, casting a soft light under the lamp.
“Andie, this is the dowry that mom prepared for you. Six craftsmen embroidered it for three whole months. Do you like it?”
When a new message popped up.
The moonlight outside the window poured in coldly, taking away the

warmth inch by inch from the dream.
The boy who once said he only loved her is now discussing wedding plans with someone else.
And she, had to marry a stranger she had never met before.
Trembling, Andrea typed out the word “good” and curled up again.
The memories in the corridor weighed on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
Andrea stared at the ceiling, with memories of past tenderness still lingering in her mind.
She wiped away the tears that fell from the corner of her eyes, muttering to herself in a pretend strong voice.
“Andrea, can’t look back.”
“The past is the past, the future is long, don’t trap yourself in a dead end.”
His gaze casually swept over the photo frame on the dressing table.
In the photo, she was snuggling in Roderick’s arms, with a bright smile. Roderick was looking at her affectionately with his head down.
The heartwarming scene seemed particularly ridiculous at this moment, making her eyes sting.
Andrea dragged her tired body out of bed, picked up the photo frame and stared at it for a moment, then decisively threw it in the trash.
I also wanted to completely abandon this untold story.
“Ding dong!”

A message popped up, it was a picture Matilda sent to herself.

In the photo, Matilda’s finger was wearing a ten–carat pink diamond, a diamond she was very familiar with.
When Roderick first saw this pink diamond, he promised her that he would personally put it on her at the wedding.
I didn’t expect it, it ended up on Matilda’s hand.
“Sorry Andie, sent the wrong message by accident.”
Watching Matilda’s slightly sarcastic provocation message, Andrea didn’t reply. She knew exactly what the other person meant.
She closed her phone and threw it on the bed.
Still no pain in my heart, just added a suffocating sense of oppression.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, opened the wardrobe, and started packing her bags.
The flight was in five days.
Five days left, and she was going to say goodbye to this city forever.
The remaining time was clearly not much, but she felt the agony was particularly long.
Andrea stuffed clothes into the box one by one, her fingertips landing on the couple’s pajamas, she lightly bit her lip.
Threw away all the couple pajamas without leaving a single one.
She didn’t want to keep anything that had touched Roderick.
“Maybe, it’s a fresh start from now on.”
Meanwhile, in the other restaurant.
