(Letter from Gu Yiliu to Shen Qingru)

Dear Mrs. Gu!

Hello!

I still love you just as much as before, even more.

Unfortunately, by the time you read this letter, I will have already left.

I have kept this illness a secret from you for a long time.

Specifically how long, it seems to have been quite severe even before I met you.

After meeting you, my condition fluctuated.

Every day, I think about how to make you feel happier.

How to give you a different kind of romance.

When I see you smile, it feels like flowers blooming in my heart.

When I see you sad, it's more agonizing than being emotionally swayed every night.

I don't want you to enter this circle.

Because I know, it's difficult here. I don't want to see you being criticized for lacking ability and background.

Being pointed at the chest and called useless.

That's why I occasionally want you to give up.

Especially after you have your own masterpiece, I want you to give up even more.

I'm afraid you'll get tired, afraid you'll get hurt, afraid you'll be satisfied by some and dissatisfied by others.

I'm afraid of every move you make, so I lose control and argue with you.

Slowly, I found that I couldn't control myself anymore.

I went to dangerous places more and more often.

I know, I may have to choose to leave you.

Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry.

Your Mr. Gu did the least romantic thing in his life.

After I leave, I only hope that the dog I gave you can take care of you in my place.

He is my carefully cultivated best companion.

I believe that you will be happy, right?

You will definitely be happy.

My Mrs. Gu, don't disappoint me, okay?
