The cold breeze continued to brush past them, making the hem of their clothes flutter. She breathed in slightly and closed her eyes, then she opened them again. Gazing down calmly at the green fields, her clear eyes suddenly became a little dazed. A smile blossomed on her elegant face and she looked a little lonely.

"It's been more than 10 years. Every time I recall these things, I feel like I've been cursed. You don't know how inexperienced I was back then and had to face all of this, powerless. The kind of helplessness I felt almost made me fall apart. I even thought of jumping off the top of the military academy just to prove my innocence..."

When she said this, she suddenly looked at him, her eyes holding a gloomy and hopeless light. "But I told myself I couldn't die. If I died, wouldn't she get away with it then? What would my mother do? I even thought of all sorts of extreme ways back then...

"Who says that caring less would grant me happiness? I don't know why she hates me so much. She's not content with taking everything away from me by scheming. She even wants to push me off the edge. If it were because she was unhappy due to her identity as an illegitimate daughter from before, what about my mother? Aren't we wronged and innocent? Yet, she still..." The sound of her cough interrupted her monologue.

The crisp breeze poured in and dried her throat, so she could not help but start coughing. Her emotional tone weakened and her body subconsciously trembled lightly.

He quickly reached out to steady her while her hand that gripped onto the railing subconsciously tightened too. "He was usually someone who was easy to talk to. He received tons of love and respect from the students. That afternoon, the school was on holiday. He knew that I didn't usually like going out on holidays, so he made me get some documents from his private living quarters outside to distribute to my classmates. At the same time, I had to send over the details filled up by my classmates from the week before...

"When I went over, it was just him alone. I took the documents and was about to leave. Then, he took a diamond necklace out and asked me if I liked it. I said it looked pretty. After that, he said he wanted to gift it to me. He said that he had always admired and liked me. I immediately rejected him... Amidst the struggling, I..."

She gasped in short breaths and closed her eyes slightly. The tips of her fingers were unusually pale as she clutched the railing as if in agony.

It had been so many years, yet this was her first time completely recalling this unbearable past of hers in front of someone else. She still could not control her emotions.

"Initially, I didn't want to remember all these things too. Those who live in resentment usually suffer. I just want to live more peacefully..."

She touched the handphone in her pocket and inhaled deeply. A cold light shifted in her eyes. "Say, why can't people just live a little more simply?"

When she asked this, she glanced up silently at him.

His eyes darkened for a moment. Then, he reached out to put his arms around her frail shoulders, saying softly, "Where did all this sorrow come from? Because everyone has different desires, they'd want different things too. You have such pure thoughts like a silly girl. Others might not be like you."

She reached out and gently put her arms around his strong waist as she muttered, "No, actually I'm not that simple..."

"Hmm?"

He looked down puzzled at her, yet before he could react, he felt a sharp pinch on his waist!

"I told you to stop calling me silly. This is an insult to my IQ. Hmm!"
