“Xu Weilai, I didn’t understand it before and neither did I want to understand it. But after this incident, I think…I know why Yu likes you. You’re always so warm-hearted that you inevitably draw people to you. I suppose that’s what happened to Yu…and me.”
“I want to apologize for what I’ve done to you. Xu Weilai, I’m sorry. At the same time, I also want to thank you. My gratitude is not for how you saved me this time, but for how you’ve helped me to let go of my past, my hatred and my ridiculous obsession. I have the courage to move on with life now.”
“If we have the chance to meet again in future, I hope that I could greet you with a smile. Even if we couldn’t be friends, I hope that we wouldn’t be enemies,” Su Ziqian wrote.
The long email was written from the bottom of Su Ziqian’s heart and Xu Weilai never expected the day when Su Ziqian could be so sincere and to share her heartfelt words with her.
They were once enemies but now, they could bury the hatchet with a smile.
Xu Weilai wasn’t one to hold onto grudges. In fact, she wouldn’t even remember the wrong that others had done to her. She was always inclined to remember how well others treated her because that would make her feel happier.
Thus, Xu Weilai’s dislike for Su Ziqian was instantly resolved when she saw how Su Ziqian had expressed her hopes for them to not be enemies even if they couldn’t be friends.
“We wouldn’t ever cross paths again in future and there’s no need for Su Ziqian to write me such an email and yet she was willing to spend the time and effort on me,” Xu Weilai mused.
However, Xu Weilai couldn’t be so magnanimous with everyone. Gu Yu was probably the greatest obsession in her life.
Su Ziqian had claimed that Gu Yu liked her.
She would be lying if she said that she wasn’t moved by her words. However, she wasn’t significantly moved.
It was just like how one kept hoping for something to happen for the longest time but was repeatedly reciprocated with disappointment. Every time, one would think that one’s wish was about to come true, but in the end, it would always end with disappointment. Gradually, one would stop harbouring any hope as such feelings pile up, but all of a sudden, one was told that one’s wishes had come true.
It felt surreal as if everything would disappear into thin air once she touched it.
Xu Weilai closed her laptop and sat dazedly on the sofa for a long time. After she finally calmed down, got up and squatted beside her suitcase to continue to unpack her clothes.
After she hung all of her clothes in the wardrobe, placed the second big suitcase on the ground and opened it.
This luggage contained random daily necessities, some documents and books. She took them out one by one and placed them in their rightful place until she came across a book that doesn’t belong to her.
Xu Weilai stared at the book of fairytales and frowned.
She had packed her things mindlessly for she was upset and frustrated. Thus, she might have accidentally packed this book into her suitcase because of her unstable mood.
“Why would there be a book of fairytales in Gu Yu’s study? While he has a variety of professional books on his shelf that covered diverse fields such as business, economics and law, it certainly wouldn’t go to the extent of fairytales,” Xu Weilai thought.
Xu Weilai was absolutely sure that Gu Yu doesn’t read fairytales.
She couldn’t help but flip open the book to see if there was anything special inside.
