Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Give Me Another 24 Hours (1)_1

"I’ve always been watching you, in ways you know and don’t know."

"You always leave me like this, messing up my heart and my bed, never to return."

"Why aren’t you going home again?"

"Han Jingnian, why don’t you ever come home?"

"Han Jingnian, do you know how scared I am that one day I might choose to let go of you?"

The paper in Han Jingnian’s hand began to tremble softly, faster and faster until he couldn’t hold onto it anymore.

The light, thin sheet slipped from his grasp, floating gently to his feet.

Unaware, he stared blankly at his trembling fingertips. He didn’t move, still in the posture where he had been leaning over to look at the words on the paper.

Not long after, his chest began to rise and fall rapidly. His body began to shake with his trembling hand.

He tried to control his emotions, but the overwhelming pain was too quick for him, causing him to lose his composure.

He thought he had felt enough pain, but he didn’t expect that a crumpled sheet of paper she carelessly discarded would cause him to experience pain even sharper than he usually felt.

So, all those days before when he didn’t come home, she had always been hoping for his return.

So, in the times when he didn’t notice her, she had always been quietly watching over him.

So, when she was with him, she suffered so much humiliation and pain...

So...

Han Jingnian couldn’t think anymore. Like a man drained of all his strength, he suddenly collapsed onto the floor. He gazed at the sheet of paper on the carpet, at her delicate handwriting on it. He couldn’t hold back anymore, his shoulders shuddering with silent sobs.

He had always known that during a certain period he had wronged her, but only now did he realize how deep her love for him was during that time when he had let her down.

Those days when she had been waiting for him to turn around and look at her, they must have been extremely tormenting, mustn’t they?

How long had she waited for him to turn around and take her hand? Yet, before he even had time to do that, she had already... left him.

He had once vowed to protect her with his life, but in the end, he had brought disaster upon her...

Han Jingnian lifted his hand to cover his face, large teardrops seeping through his fingers.

He had never felt such heartache before. It was so painful that he found it hard to breathe. The pain felt like a pair of hands violently tearing at his heart.

...

About four hundred kilometers from Beijing, out at sea, a speedboat bobbed in the deep waters, heaving with the waves.

On the speedboat’s deck stood a person, braving the frigid and icy sea wind in the dead of winter, seemingly impervious to the cold, unmoving.

After a while, a jet ski approached from the distant shore. The woman driving the jet ski parked it and grabbed hold of the speedboat’s railing. With an agile flip, she jumped onto the speedboat.

She removed her helmet and lifejacket, exposing her tight-fitting wetsuit, then shook her auburn hair loose. She grabbed a towel and began to wipe off the sea water on her body. She walked towards the figure standing on the deck and said, "Boss, I knew you’d be here."
