Like it?

I don't know if it was stimulated by these words.

All I dream of is Zhou Jihuai.

He said he likes me and will always stand by my side.

But I remember clearly.

When I was 25, Xu Manqi couldn't stand me and slapped me, but Zhou Jihuai told me not to make a fuss.

When I was 26, I wanted to leave. I had my passport ready, but he broke my leg and trapped me in a villa for six months. He even announced my permanent withdrawal from the entertainment industry.

When I was 27, I got pregnant. Without saying a word, he arranged for a doctor to have an abortion.

When I was 28, I was killed in a truck accident, but he was lying on another woman's bed.

I can't afford this kind of love.

If I get a chance to start over, I must not repeat the same mistakes, Xie Tangtang.

I told myself this, and deleted the photos Zhao An sent me from my phone.

I was woken up by She Zhang in the morning.

I guess she was in a hurry to do her part-time job, so she reminded me that today is the last day and not to forget to hand in the form.

Only then did I remember.

Today is the last day to apply for the study abroad program.

In my past life, because of Zhou Jihuai's words "My little candy is so pretty. If she can be on the big screen, she will definitely be better than those other girls," I impulsively chose the path of the entertainment industry.

Zhou Jihuai gladly supported me.

But in fact, I didn't come from a performing arts background.

I studied law in my undergraduate years.

And I repeatedly ranked first in law at A University for four years. At that time, everyone thought I would enter a prestigious law firm and become a top lawyer, but I entered the entertainment industry instead.

I completely shattered the expectations of my teachers and classmates.

So in this life, I want to live for myself.

Looking at the study abroad form in my hand, I immediately filled in my name.

After handing in the form to the academic affairs office, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on my grades, there should be a spot for me in the study abroad program.

Once I go abroad, I probably won't have any interaction with Zhou Jihuai anymore, and that's for the best.

But as soon as I left the teaching building, I was stopped by Zhou Jihuai.

Even though it had only been one day, Zhou Jihuai looked much more haggard.

His hair was messy, his eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept all night.

Zhou Jihuai glanced at the teaching building behind me, then looked at me and forced a smile, "You want to go abroad as an exchange student?"

"For a year? Two years? Or for a lifetime?"

"Xie Tangtang, are you so eager to never see me again? Just ask yourself, haven't I been good to you? I've practically given you my heart, so why did you break up with me?"

By the end, his eyes were filled with sadness.

The once rebellious youth was actually pleading for mercy.

Zhao An, who was by our side, couldn't tolerate it anymore.

He put himself between Zhou Jihuai and me, glaring at me fiercely.

"Xie Tangtang, I never imagined you to be so ungrateful. When you were trapped in a fire, Zhuzi risked his life to save you. He got hit by a falling plank himself, but he didn't utter a word of complaint and carried you out."

"You have a problem with your ears, and Zhuzi went everywhere to find doctors for you. He used every connection he had, afraid that you would become deaf if you delayed treatment. Now that you're almost recovered, you want to break up with him? How can there be such a vicious woman like you? If it wasn't for Zhuzi, I would have found someone to kill you…"

"That's enough! Zhao An, you go first!"

Before Zhao An could finish speaking, Zhou Jihuai interrupted him.

Though Zhao An still seemed a bit unwilling,

he left when faced with Zhou Jihuai.

After Zhao An left, there were only the two of us in front of the teaching building.

Our eyes met.

Only then did I realize how broken Zhou Jihuai was.
