  "Alas..." Zhu Wenyi could only sigh and didn't know how to comfort her.

  She wiped away tears that she couldn't control, looking at Zhu Wen Yi with a sorrowful expression and asked seriously, "Is it... is it already impossible to make amends?"

  "This... I don't know how to say it either."

  Li Xin Nian couldn't get an answer and could only cry again with a broken heart. She thought... if she had another chance, she wouldn't choose to leave.

  But nothing can be relived, so only this moment of sorrow and regret is her final outcome.

  She covered her face and fell into Zhu Wenyi's arms, "Auntie, I regret it, my heart aches with regret. I always thought he would wait for me forever, but now I realize that no one will wait for anyone forever, even if they made vows to the mountains and seas."

  "Alas, poor child." Zhu Wenyi couldn't find any words to comfort her, and could only gently pat her shoulder.

  She wept until she became a tearful person, "My room is also gone, the rose garden is still there, but it has lost its former glory. Everything has changed and can never go back."

  "Accept reality, it's all you can do." She advised, sympathizing with the woman.

  But she was unwilling, raised her tearful eyes, "Auntie, I'm not willing to give up, we have twenty years of feelings, I believe he still has me in his heart."

  "What's the big idea?"

  "I...I don't know either." She felt extremely bewildered.

  Zhu Wenyi could only sigh deeply.

  ***

  Long Ye pulled Tang Xianxian to the rose garden behind, as soon as she saw the garden, she inexplicably thought of the scene where he and Li Xinian stood shoulder to shoulder here just now, and suddenly turned around in a huff, wanting to leave.

  Why bring her here of all places? Is it intentional to make her uncomfortable?

  He pulled her into his arms, his hot breath suddenly spraying onto her sensitive ear.

  She shrank back a little, but he only held her closer, saying in a helpless tone, "Angry?"

  "...No!" Some hesitation.

  He gave a low laugh, his low voice sounding in her ears, very pleasant to hear, but she had no mood to listen, and kept thinking of struggling out of his arms.

  He instead held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to press her into his bones and blood. "Tang Mianning, don't be angry."

  "I've already said I'm not angry," she said, waiting for him with some annoyance.

  He lightly kissed the corner of her mouth and then curved his black eyes, "But it looks like you're still angry."

  "Misunderstood."

  "Is it?" he asked, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

  She stamped her foot in exasperation, "I said I'm not angry and that's it."

  He didn't dodge either, letting her kick him twice before saying with a hint of a smile, "I've heard that women are always insincere, and when they say they're not angry, it means they actually are."

  “……”

  She glared at him, "Who told you this nonsense, deceitful words."

  Seeing her so childish, he was helpless, and hugged her to the chair on one side. She struggled for several times, but he held her tightly.

  "Tang Mi, haven't you ever listened to what I said?"

  He looked at her with downcast eyes, serious and firm.

  She was slightly stunned and didn't understand why he would suddenly ask this.

  "Sometimes, don't just look at the surface, can't you understand what's in my heart?" He said with deep emotion, his forehead pressed against hers.

  This sentence, like a tranquilizer pill, instantly calmed the turmoil and loss in her heart. She bit her lip and asked cautiously, "Was it... was I being too unreasonable?"

  It seems like I was being unreasonable now.

  "It's okay, this shows that you care about me." He smiled lightly, with the most tender indulgence, and one sentence made her instantly sweet.

  She slapped him and muttered, "Who cares, stinky beauty."

  He smiled softly, his whole body trembling slightly, that feeling was great.

  She wrapped her arms around his neck, pouting with red lips, and said with a hint of reproach, "You men are too good at sweet talk."

  "I've never been one for sweet talk." He said seriously, his eyes burning with a fire that could ignite her love, making her heart tremble.

  This is the second most touching sentence she has ever heard.

  Tang MiMi, don't be afraid, I've got everything under control.

  The second sentence, I've never been one for sweet talk.

  She movedly kissed him on the lips, her heart filled with happiness, a smile on her face and lips, radiant.

  He likes her smile like this, doesn't like the somewhat downcast her just now.

  She felt relieved and returned to her usual self, feeling very good.

  Two people in that beautiful rose garden, whispering and pouring out their hearts, laughing and chatting.

  In the end, she fell asleep in his arms, sleeping soundly.

  Long Yeju picked her up and walked step by step towards Nian Garden.

  She carefully put her on the bed and also kissed her lips, pulled up the quilt, planned to go back to the study to deal with some official business, and then came to accompany her.

  But as he entered the study, he saw Li Xinnian sitting in his seat, looking up at him expectantly.

  When she saw him coming in, Li Xinnian immediately smiled sweetly and picked up the dolphin decoration beside her, saying with a smile, "I gave this to you, it's still here."

  Long Yeh's eyes faintly glanced at that small decorative object, and some memories flashed in his mind.

  He took the dolphin decoration and silently put it back on the bed before saying to her, "It's late, time to rest."

  The implication was clear: she had to go.

  Li Xinnian felt a bit awkward, thinking that he had come to reminisce about old times and stir up his memories, but he was so cold.

  She bit her lip and stood up, a pair of watery eyes looking at him with a pleading expression, "Jue Gege, do you know how much I've wanted to for so many years?"

  He gazed at her with a hint of distance, his thin lips pursed tightly, and in his dark eyes was an unfamiliar emotion.

  She had a little knot in her heart, and her restless hands twisted at her sides, finding it hard to grasp his emotions.

  Finally, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his slender waist, pressing her face against his chest, half-closing her eyes, and murmured, "Jue Gege, I've thought about it so much that my heart aches. In countless nights, I've dreamed of you by my side, gently embracing me, and telling me those loving words."

  His body was slightly stiff, and he smelled a familiar scent on her, very familiar but somewhat distant.

  So far away, he has already started to forget.

  He hastily pushed her away, without a hint of sympathy, and said lightly, "Xin Nian, stop crying."

  Li Xinnian opened her tearful eyes and looked at him with a wronged expression, her hands tightly grasping his clothes, reluctant to let go.

  He still remained indifferent and pulled away her hand, disregarding her sorrow. With an unreadable expression, he said calmly, "Xin Nian, some things are just left in the past. Even if you wanted to make up for it, the scars would still remain. I gave you eight years back then, and as long as you returned within those eight years, I would have waited. But now, eight years have passed. This place, although it once belonged to a woman named Li Xin Nian, has slowly disappeared over these eight years."

  Li Xinnian only heard his own heart, a little bit of fragmentation, was the kind of fragmentation that could no longer be pieced together.

  "She muttered to herself, 'How can it be? How can it be... It won't happen, I'm still the original Li Xinnian, and you're still the original Juege, right? The words just now were all deceiving me, right? You've been deceiving me since childhood, it must be deceiving me.'"

  She sat back on the bed with a thud, and began to sob.

  He slightly turned his body and walked towards the wardrobe, still managing to give a polite dismissal, "It's very late, I need to rest, please go back to your room first."

  "...have you already fallen in love with Tang Xianxian?" she asked despondently.

  Extremely disappointed.

  He paused for a moment, as if something was growing in his heart, and smiled, warming up his eyes, "Yes."

  Li Xinnian could no longer accept this fact and covered his face as he fled the room.

  Long Yajue felt a sudden urge to breathe a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the dolphin statue, lost in thought for a long time.

  ***

  Tang Mianmian slept very soundly and knew that there were bursts of noise in the room, as if someone was rummaging through things.

  The sky was slightly bright, and there was emptiness around her. She felt a pang of loss in her heart, thinking, "Has he left again?"

  He always does this, getting up early without waiting for her to wake up, making her endure that feeling of emptiness in her heart every time.

  Opened her bleary eyes, staring at the ceiling, somewhat dazed.

  That rustling sound rang out again, and she suddenly sat up straight, looking towards the source of the sound.

  What entered her eyes was Li Xin Nian's back silhouette crouching in front of the cabinet, she jumped in fright and called out tentatively, "Miss Li?"

  Li Xinlian's body stiffened, and she stopped what she was doing. She slowly turned around, looking at Tang Xiangxiang with embarrassment, saying "I'm disturbing you... sorry, I came to find something."

  Looking for something?

  Here?

  Tang Mi's heart skipped a beat as she thought of the two words "Nian Yuan", and then associated them with Li Xin Nian who had been in the Long family for over a decade.

  Could it be...

  Thinking of her own conjecture, Tang Xiangxiang felt a bitter and lingering feeling in her heart. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing, anyway I'm already awake, didn't disturb you, what are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

  Li Xinnian's eyes dimmed slightly, and he shook his head, saying lightly, "Nothing, just some small things from before. I thought they were still there, but it turns out they're nowhere to be found."

  "Oh, why don't we ask the housekeeper if he has seen him?" she suggested kindly.

  Li Xinnian looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with complex emotions. After a long while, he shook his head and said somewhat dejectedly, "Forget it, some things are lost forever. Even if I wanted to find them, maybe they can't be found again."

  Tang Mi's breathing paused for a moment, looking at her desolate figure with some incomprehension, feeling the urge to comfort her, yet finding it hard to speak up.

  She quietly turned around and walked out of the room, her back figure... was desolately bleak.

  Tang Mi thought, what had she experienced that made her so disheartened?

  A deep sense of guilt rose up in her heart, clutching at her clothes, she lay back on the bed, extremely entangled.

  It feels like taking away someone's beloved toy, when the owner looks at you with those lost eyes.

  That sense of guilt is irrepressible.

  Tang MiMi is a kind person, she felt guilty for the first time.
