Glistening teardrops rolled down Ji Aier's fair cheeks, like a string of pearls with the thread broken.
Ji En reached out to catch her falling tears. Each of her tears seemed to drip into his heart, eroding it.
He lowered his head and kissed Ji Aier. The kiss, mixed with his blood, permeated both of their bodies. They had a long and intertwined relationship.
In the dead of night, he looked at Ji Aier, who had fallen asleep with tear stains on her face, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.
From the first time he saw her, he had the urge to protect her, so he asked his family to adopt her. But he never knew how to express his concern for her, which eventually turned into a way of mistreating her. Because only in this way could he feel her emotional fluctuations. Otherwise, she would always be obedient to him, so obedient that she seemed lifeless.
During his seven years in the United States, as soon as he learned that she had run away from home, he started frantically searching for her everywhere, but there was no trace of her. She was like a flash in the pan, disappearing from his world. It wasn't until he returned to China and personally searched for her that he found her in a restaurant called Happy Steakhouse. When she saw him, she pretended not to know him. In a fit of anger, he tied her up and brought her back.
Every time he kept her by his side, he found that she became very depressed. Everything that happened to her turned into a disaster for her.
The disappearance of Minze and Qianhe made him realize that he already had two children. At that time, he lost his mind and chose to push her away. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but he couldn't accept her long-standing concealment from him. The girl who had always seemed innocent and obedient in his eyes since childhood, the one who occupied his entire heart, had become someone who played him for a fool.
After learning about Qianhe's accident, he knew he was wrong. Looking at Ji Aier, who was completely disheartened at that time, he wanted to hold her tightly and tell her that he would believe everything she said from then on. But she didn't give him a chance and chose to run away from home again. He finally understood that at the brink of despair each time, the only thing she could do was to choose to escape. The injuries she had suffered since childhood had made her fragile heart develop a habit of running away.
She always managed to make it impossible for him to find her. So she could hide in a place for two years and hardly go out. When he finally saw her again, it was in the church where he was forced to get married. He watched as she sadly tore off the necklace and ring he had given her and threw them at him. At that moment, he felt that she had thrown back all their love along with the necklace and ring. She still chose to escape. To avoid getting hurt, she didn't even have the will to fight and was eager to run away.
When she came back to him again, she had lost a lot of her vitality, like a sunflower on the verge of withering, having no more strength to face the sun. She had more hostility and hatred towards him. If the love she had for him was deep before, now her hatred was just as intense.
She was as fragile as a bubble that could burst at the slightest touch, no longer able to withstand any more setbacks.
