He sat there quietly, giving people a palpable feeling of heart-fluttering.
This man's handsomeness perfectly matched her aesthetic.
Tan Xi Yuan couldn't help but walk over and sit on the chair across from the young man.
The young man glanced at her and then lowered his head to continue reading.
Tan Xi Yuan gazed at the man in front of her with infatuation.
The young man didn't lift his head, and he spoke in a low voice, "Are you here at the library to look at men?"
"Ah?" Tan Xi Yuan smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Hello handsome, can we be friends?"
The young man was momentarily stunned, perhaps because he had never encountered such a direct and shameless woman before. He raised his head and looked at the woman across from him.
When Tan Xi Yuan saw the young man looking at her, she flashed what she believed to be a charming smile and introduced herself in a soft voice, "Hello, my name is Tan Xi Yuan. Tan is the "Tan" in "speech," Xi refers to the beauty of the past, and Yuan is the "Yuan" with three dots. May I add you on QQ?"
As she spoke, Tan Xi Yuan even took out her phone.
The young man couldn't help but chuckle and took out his phone to add Tan Xi Yuan as a friend.
"My name is Lu Feng," the young man said casually.
Tan Xi Yuan was stunned. "You look so handsome when you smile!"
That summer, Tan Xi Yuan tried every means possible to create opportunities to encounter Lu Feng.
In the classroom, in the cafeteria, in the library, outside the dormitory building, on the playground, and even walking on the road, they would run into each other.
Every morning, the first thing she did when she woke up was to send a message to Lu Feng: "Good morning~ Today's sunshine is so brilliant, just like your smile."
And when she went to bed at night, she would send another message: "Good night~ See you in my dreams."
Every day, Tan Xi Yuan would send messages to Lu Feng, but he rarely replied. Sometimes he would only respond with a polite smiley face.
But even a smiley face would make Tan Xi Yuan happy for the whole day.
In order to win over Lu Feng, Tan Xi Yuan racked her brains and finally found out his birthday from one of Lu Feng's friends.
On Lu Feng's birthday, Tan Xi Yuan ran to his dormitory and carefully decorated it, giving him a big surprise.
It was also on Lu Feng's birthday that they officially became a couple.
After graduation, the two of them got married and stayed in the city to pursue their dreams together.
Their memories were filled with beautiful things. They hardly ever argued, and even if they did, they would quickly make up because they had an agreement not to carry anger into the next day. So most of the time, they were sweet and happy.
As Tan Xi Yuan recalled all this, tears streamed down her face. She let out a bitter laugh, got up, walked to the liquor cabinet, grabbed a bottle of red wine, and opened it. She took a few gulps straight from the bottle, then stumbled back to the sofa.
At this moment, the night was quiet, so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat. She drank the wine in large swallows, treating the red wine like beer.
Her heart ached uncontrollably, her thoughts tumbling in chaos. She knew she couldn't bear to be without him, but what could she do?
She couldn't conceive a child.
Why... why couldn't she conceive a child?
"Why are you doing this to me!"
Tan Xi Yuan let out a loud cry and fiercely threw the bottle of wine in his hand onto the floor.
With a clang, the bottle shattered, and the dark red liquid spilled onto the white carpet, staining it red like blood.
The fragrance of the red wine filled the entire room.
Tan Xi Yuan curled up on the sofa, sobbing softly. As he cried, he gradually fell asleep, unaware of it.
