Norah nodded. "Okay."
They spent a full two hours eating hot pot.
Shawn ate slowly.
It was not only because his arm was not very nimble, but also because he knew what it meant once
this hot pot meal was over.
But even the longest dinner had its end.
In the end, the two of them ate until the hot pot restaurant closed.
Norah looked at the square outside and took the initiative to speak, "Let's go for a walk downstairs."
"Okay!"
It was late, so there weren't many people in the square anymore, but it was decorated beautifully, and
the lights blinked like stars.
Norah closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Then she did it again.
She turned around and finally said, "Shawn, what I said before was serious. I wasn't joking."
"Norah..." Shawn looked at her, feeling a heart-wrenching pain.
When she invited him to dinner, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
He was very afraid.
However, this moment had still arrived.
It was inevitable.
Before he could speak, Norah immediately reached out and lightly placed her finger on her lips. "Shh,
don't say anything. Listen to me, or I'm afraid I won't have the courage to finish my words."
"Shawn, first of all, thank you so much. Thank you for saving my life in that freezing lake, and thank
you for the things you said to Lilian. I heard them all."
"I admit that I was deeply moved and so happy."
"But some things are so late for me that I no longer need them. Do you understand?"
"The words I said last time weren't impulsive or irrational. They were the result of my careful
consideration. I used to love you so much that I lost myself, almost gave up all my emotions, and
willingly trapped myself in a loveless marriage, day after day, year after year, in a never-ending cycle."
"I always thought that my heart was small and easily satisfied. I thought that as long as I could see you
every day, I would be content."
Norah reached out and tidied her wind-blown hair. "But now I realize that I was wrong. In fact, my heart
is big. I want all of you, I want you to be wholeheartedly mine, and I want you to choose me without
hesitation at any time."
"I have been abandoned too many times. You know what? Sometimes I even doubt if I can love again
because I don't know how to have hope for you."
"I'm scared, really scared."
"So now, I let go. I want to reconcile with myself, let go of you, and let go of myself."
Originally, she thought it would be very difficult to say these words.
She was even worried that she would break down and cry.
However, it was unexpectedly easy.
Yes, without hope, there would never be disappointment again.
Having had enough disappointment, she decided to leave on her own.
The wind blew, and their clothes were tousled.
Norah looked at his crooked tie blown by the wind and suddenly walked up to him, gently fixing it for
him.
Then she tiptoed to straighten the collar of his coat.
She remembered that she loved seeing him wear a coat the most, especially that long coat.
This scene was from a TV drama she had watched, where the male lead wore a gray coat that reached
his ankles, looking handsome and elegant. Anyway, he was so charming.
And the female lead ran towards him in the falling snow. He opened his coat and embraced her
completely.
In the vast snow, their heads leaned against each other.
One piece of clothing, two people.
They could feel each other's heartbeat and breath.
At that time, she truly felt that scene was incredibly romantic.
She even fantasized about it.
But now, it seemed that it would never come true.
After fixing his clothes, Norah gently placed her hand on his coat and slowly spoke.
"We have come a long way, and I don't blame you, nor do I regret it. If we have to blame something, it's
fate. We're not suitable for each other. So let's break up gracefully. The start and the end are both
nice."
After saying the last word, Norah let go of her hand.
At the same time, she turned around and walked in a completely different direction from Shawn.
The night grew darker.
But the lights in the square were so dazzling, illuminating their faces clearly.
Shawn stood there in a daze, never moving, not even changing his posture.
The wind whistled, and their clothes fluttered.
He looked at Norah, his eyes never shifting as he watched her move forward step by step.
Then, she was further and further away...
Just as Norah was about to cross the road, suddenly, Shawn took long strides and chased after her like Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
crazy.
He ran so fast, like the wind.
Norah only felt a strong impact from behind. The next moment, she was tightly embraced.
Shawn opened his coat and wrapped her tightly in his arms.
For a long time, neither of them spoke, and neither of them moved.
For a moment, it felt like time had stopped.
After a while, Norah spoke first, "Let go of me. The last subway is about to leave. I need to go home."
But Shawn held her even tighter, showing no intention of letting go.
He held her so tightly that Norah could hardly move.
She had her back to him, so she couldn't see his expression.
Otherwise, she would definitely see how disheveled and depressed the once elegant and noble man
looked at this moment.
Where was the slightest hint of elegance from before?
His eyes were bloodshot and brimming with tears.
Even his hands that held her trembled uncontrollably.
He was fearful.
He was so scared.
He was afraid of really losing her from now on.
"Norah..." After a long silence, he finally spoke, but his voice was very hoarse. "Okay, I agree to break
up."
