Every individual is an independent entity, and these entities are connected by all kinds of relationships.
These relationships are like the string of a kite. No matter how far apart the two are in the future, no matter how long they haven’t seen each other, as long as the string exists, they will never completely break apart.
There will always be a day when they meet again and communicate again.
Xu Duyan had always believed this.
Her relationship with Su Ziyan was the string of a kite—the strongest, most unbreakable string in the world. No matter what happened, the connection between them would never fully break.
Whether Su Ziyan went to a distant university or found a girlfriend… no matter what happened, it would never affect the string between her and Su Ziyan.
It was just like what they had both once thought: even if they weren’t together, they would torment each other for a lifetime, and nothing could completely separate them.
That’s why Xu Duyan had never imagined that one day in the future, they would be completely separated.
Because no matter how far apart they were, physically or psychologically, as long as she tightened the string in her hand, she could meet him again.
That’s how relationships between people were, and her intimate relationship with Su Ziyan was just that unreasonable.
That’s why Su Ziyan dared to confess to her again and again despite her rejections back then.
That’s why she dared to shamelessly cling to Su Ziyan now, even after he had clearly shown signs of rejection.
She knew very well that the connection between them was something that couldn’t be severed, so no matter how resistant Su Ziyan acted now, no matter how much he wanted to push her away, she could still continue shamelessly.
She had nothing to fear. She wasn’t afraid that their relationship would break because of her repeated attempts. Because the kite string was in her hand.
So even if Su Ziyan’s face showed obvious impatience, she would continue like this. Right now, she was like the Su Ziyan of the past, with plenty of time and energy to try again and again.
She wouldn’t be sad, because there couldn’t be a worse outcome between them, right? Consider it paying back a debt. In the past, she had rejected him again and again out of inferiority, so now it was only natural for her to be rejected, wasn’t it?
And there was one more thing in her heart, the most despicable point… she had thought about it for a long time today, which was why she came back so late.
That is, even if Su Ziyan, who was now blind, resisted, what could he do? He could no longer leave her.
The rest of Su Ziyan’s life would have to rely on her, wouldn’t it? If that was the case, even if she went a little too far, what could he do?
Xu Duyan was the person in the world who understood Su Ziyan the best, so she herself knew that for some reason, Su Ziyan was now always resistant to her and wanted to leave her.
Logically, she should carefully find out what had happened to him, successfully resolve Su Ziyan’s knot, and then confess after they reconciled.
But she didn’t do that.
Maybe it was because of the near loss of him before, but now Xu Duyan could feel her own impatience.
So even though she could feel that Su Ziyan still had other thoughts in his heart, and knew that he was resistant to her for some reason, Xu Duyan was still so impatient.
She had mentally prepared herself countless times for the possibility that they wouldn’t end up together, that Su Ziyan would end up with some strange girlfriend in the future.
But when the real opportunity came to completely possess Su Ziyan, to let him be taken care of by her for the rest of his life, to entrust his life to her, Xu Duyan still panicked.
Now she only wanted to completely win Su Ziyan’s heart, to make him clearly understand that in this world, only she would take care of him without reservation. So everything was so urgent.
She couldn’t wait to make Su Ziyan rely only on her for the rest of his life.
So she chose to ignore Su Ziyan’s abnormality and adopted a shameless approach, hoping that Su Ziyan would accept her as he was now. As for those other thoughts, she would deal with them after they got together.
They still had a very, very long time. She had enough time to untie the knots in Su Ziyan’s heart.
Thinking about all these messy thoughts, Xu Duyan finally arrived downstairs at her home.
Then she began to adjust her breathing, hoping to calm down. After all, she had been too extreme yesterday. A kiss was enough—how could she have thought about taking Su Ziyan right then and there?
‘Maybe it was because Su Ziyan, now blind, had a kind of unique vulnerability that stimulated her desire more.’
Xu Duyan shook her head fiercely, expelling all those thoughts from her mind, and formulated today’s strategy.
That was to continue acting weak and pitiful, and then shamelessly rub against him.
Today, she would say she watched a horror movie while tending the shop in the afternoon, so she was very scared. That way, Su Ziyan would surely be willing to sleep in the same bed as her, right?
She would further push his boundaries until he could no longer leave her.
Thinking like this, even though Su Ziyan couldn’t see her, she still put on a bright smile and adjusted her voice to a gentle tone before opening the door.
“Ziyan! Your big sister is back!”
Looking at the pitch-black home, Xu Duyan called out.
“Did you eat dinner? If not, I can make you a midnight snack, okay?”
But there was no response. The dark house inexplicably made Xu Duyan’s heart pound.
‘Damn it, I’m 33 years old. Am I afraid of the dark?’
Su Ziyan should just be asleep.
Xu Duyan turned on the living room light and tiptoed through each bedroom, but still didn’t see him.
‘Damn it, where is Su Ziyan? Did he go out? What is he doing out so late? Isn’t it too dangerous?’
Xu Duyan pulled out her phone to call Su Ziyan, but found that the battery had died and the phone had shut down at some point.
Forcing down her unease, Xu Duyan plugged in her phone to charge and tried to turn it on.
Su Ziyan was an adult too. Nothing dangerous should happen to him. But as his big sister and lover, Xu Duyan just couldn’t let go.
But it was okay. Su Ziyan would surely have sent her a message no matter where he went.
She would go pick him up then. No, she would go now.
Looking at the phone starting its boot animation, Xu Duyan grabbed a power bank from the drawer under the tea table, plugged it into the phone, and headed to the door to put on her shoes.
By the time she pushed the door open, her phone had fully booted. Once it turned on, she immediately received a message from her special alert contact.
“Don’t come looking for me. Live on. Be happy every day from now on.”
Xu Duyan’s phone, along with the power bank, fell to the ground. With a clatter, the power bank cracked.
She felt her hands tremble, as if cut by a kite string.
No, the kite string could no longer cut her now.
Because it had already broken.
