Qian Xun did not reply and merely headed to the kitchen for a bowl of porridge.
Looking at how Shi Guang was glaring at her intently, clearly trying her best to contain her curiosity yet dying to find out everything, Qian Xun could not help but roll her eyes. “Why are you as nosey as thosepaparazzi?”
“I’m just a mere netizen. It’s only normal for me to be curious about the gossips of celebrities.” Shi Guang raised her hands innocently.
“It’s not like I have anything to hide. It’s just that they’re all in the past.” Qian Xun’s face was nonchalant.
“For real? Tell me then! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely not reveal them to the reporters. But of course, if you truly don’t wish to say it, that’s fine as well.” Shi Guang did not wish to force her, lest she ended up unhappy after telling everything.
“How old were you when you had your first love?” Qian Xun asked.
Shi Guang replied embarrassedly, “A little early, around 15 or so? You?”
“I grew up abroad since I was young. He was the son of my father’s friend. Because their entire family had moved overseas as well, he was exceptionally caring toward me, and was truly really good to me. It was so easy and happy being with him, and he would do everything for me without me having to think about it at all. I’ve always thought that I would continue being in his care all the way till we grew old, and the moment I hit 18, we got engaged. At that time, everyone was commenting about how we were a perfect pair that was the envy of many.”
It was only after she started talking that Qian Xun realized that these memories of the past which she had once thought to be unforgettable were no longer stirring any emotions within her.
“I heard that you guys broke up not long after the engagement. Why?”
“When two people are together for a long time, they start understanding one another on a much deeper level, where all of their bad points start revealing themselves as well. Gradually, there is no spark in the relationship, neither is there any sweetness. In a positive way, one may say that your relationship has already been upgraded to that of family. But, if one day, both of your lives were on the line and he could only pick a side, he would definitely pick his own.”
Shi Guang was somewhat confused. “… What do you mean by that?”
“I mean that he loves his life more than mine. That is human nature to begin with, and thus, I did not and should not blame him for it. In this world, other than your parents, there would probably be no one who would love you more than they love themselves. But, even if you understand that fact, it doesn’t change the fact that it still hurts. After all, we had grown up together and our relationship was deep.”
That was the first time she had fallen in love with a boy. Youthful and innocent, they had planned for an engagement holiday thinking that it would create a beautiful set of memories. Instead, reality drenched them with ice cold water.
All of her hopes were completely dashed.
Everyone in the world would claim that love was being with one another till the very end. But why then would he choose to abandon and betray her at the very end of it all?
Even though Shi Guang somewhat understood, she could not emphasize, and thus she did not feel too much about it.
“What about your 2nd relationship?” That was her greatest concern—was it Lu Yanzhi?
Qian Xun smiled out radiantly. “Can’t remember.”
“Huh?”
“There was a period of time when my head was injured and I was in a coma for half a month. After I woke up, my memories were in a mess, and I couldn’t remember many things.”
“Lost your memories?”
“That’s right.”
“…”
Shi Guang did not believe her in the slightest bit. A single look was enough for her to tell that Qian Xun was lying. But clearly, the reason why she would do this was because she was reluctant to tell Shi Guang about it.
