I thought that as long as I let her leave A City, as long as I kept my distance from her, I could completely strip her out of my heart. Yet, I underestimated her influence on me.
After she left, I should have cleared away everything about her, but somehow, I left our marital home. The marital home was bought before we got married, and since the marriage, I rarely set foot there; there were almost no traces of me there, but I still kept it.
I hired a new servant specifically to take care of this house, and the furnishings inside remained the same, untouched.
Lin Yixun left cleanly and efficiently, taking nothing with her, not her clothes, nor her jewelry, and not even her favorite lipstick.
Maybe she, like me, wanted to put the past behind her and never touch it again. She did it well, while I lingered.
When she was here, I rarely went to our marital home, but after she left, I couldn't help but go back there.
