Su Ran's gaze dimmed visibly as she lowered her hands and hung her head. "I overestimated myself, I'm sorry."

He Ju shrugged, perhaps because he was about to marry Si Hua, he didn't lash out at Su Ran. Instead, he casually poured her a cup of hot water. "You don't need to apologize. After all... once you leave, I don't think we'll see each other again."

When the cup of hot water touched Su Ran's palms, her hands warmed up, but her heart felt colder than the bleak winds outside.

Su Ran was at a loss for words. In less than a year, everything between her and He Ju had changed beyond recognition.
