I can't understand, why did Qiao Xue have to die in front of me?

Her eyes were wide open, as if still watching me and another girl.

Her other leg was gone, a proof of her love for me.

My heart suddenly felt as if it was dead, unwilling to let Qiao Xue be taken away.

[She is my wife, you can't take her away!]

My parents pulled me back, and I could only watch helplessly as Qiao Xue left.

Not long after, once it was clear that this was a suicide case, Qiao Xue became a pot of ashes.

After Qiao Xue was gone, memories from the past came flooding in.

I would lie in bed and subconsciously call for Qiao Xue to come over.

When in the kitchen, I would subconsciously want Qiao Xue to come over.

Since Qiao Xue left, her shadow has been everywhere in my life.

My parents urged me to return and remarry another woman, but I refused.

I remembered when I first met Qiao Xue; at that time, it was the most disheveled period of my life.
