The night fell low, darkness like an invisible net tightly enveloping me.
I curled up in a corner of the room, shivering.
I am filled with fear of the dark
Three years ago, when I was kidnapped by my father's rival, it was Gu Mingxuan who risked everything to save me from the kidnappers.
Afterwards, I developed a severe psychological illness, henceforth fearing darkness.
Whenever it flared up, he would gently stroke my hair and tenderly light a small candle lamp. "If I'm not here, it will take my place to protect you."
The details of a loved one are the tempest in a lover's heart.
Those beautiful memories of the past have now become the sharpest blades, cutting into my heart.
My phone suddenly vibrated, and I picked it up to see.
It was a photo album posted by Feng Yuwei on her Moments.
In the photos, she is wearing a wedding dress, radiant, with no hints of depression.
And Gu Mingxuan, dressed in a groom's suit, gazes at her with deep affection.
The two snuggle together, the look in their eyes filled with love, appearing as a perfect match.
Looking at this set of photos, I suddenly felt like laughing.
It turns out love and indifference had long been hidden in the details, I just hadn't noticed.
There are only five days left until our wedding.
The ridiculous thing is, I haven't yet worn a wedding dress.
Every time I mentioned going to the bridal shop to try on wedding dresses, he always brushed it off with various excuses.
"Wedding dresses are just formalism, part of that foreign set of traditions."
"We can get married just the same without a wedding dress."
I thought he didn't like wedding dresses.
Now I understand, he just didn't want to wear a wedding dress with me.
