When Lu Jinnian drove up to the intersection ahead, he suddenly felt fl.u.s.tered . He didn't know where he should go .

He was now on his own again .

His father didn't want him, his mother had pa.s.sed away, and the woman he loved just left him . He was back to the old days . Living alone .

It had been a long time since he felt lonely . In that instant, he was buried underneath it .

Lu Jinnian aimlessly drove for who knows how long, but in the end, he drove back to Mian Xiu Garden .

Rays of sunlight bathed the white mansion with the red roof, making it look particularly beautiful . He stopped the car and walked into the house . He looked around the entire mansion . It was no different from usual, but it felt notably empty .

The dining room's door was wide open . He saw that the breakfast Qiao Anhao had made was still on the table; it hadn't been tidied away .  He could almost envision the two of them there, eating breakfast .

The bottom of Lu Jinnian's eyes flared up, and he hurriedly went upstairs . He pushed open the bedroom door and saw her dressing table . It was usually full of make-up products, but now completely empty . The pain in his heart grew even more .

He staggered over to the bathroom, where her face cleanser, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner were all gone . She even cleared out her toothbrush, cup, and toothpaste . Also, the cabinets in the changing room were half empty . All that was left were neat rows upon rows of men's clothing .

She left, just like that . . . as though she had never even existed in his world . . . as though those eight months were all a dream . . . The reality of waking up was far too cruel .

Lu Jinnian felt that his breathing was unstable . He quickly left the bedroom in a panic and flew down the stairs, and out of the mansion . He got in the car and felt that his heart was slightly more comfortable .

They had just split up thirty seven minutes and forty eight seconds ago, and he already missed her inextricably .

He couldn't stay here . If he did, it would only cement his longing for her .

Lu Jinnian fumbled as he started up the car and left . He drove carelessly for a long time, until the night was approaching . He stopped then at a flower shop, got out, and bought a bunch of chrysanthemums . Then he got back into the car and drove out of the city .

About two hours later, he drove to a cemetery . He drove along the winding road and half-way up the mountain, then stopped, got out, and walked to a lonely gravestone . He placed the chrysanthemums in front of it and knelt down . Looking at the black and white photo, after some time, he said, "Ma . . . I'm here to visit you . "

The howling of wind halfway up the mountain responded . Lu Jinnian raised his hand and gently rubbed the black and white photo . He spoke again in a low voice .  "Ma . . . Do you know . . .  I really do love that woman . . . I've mentioned her to you before . She's called Qiao Anhao . . . 'Qiao' as in an arbor tree, and 'Anhao' as in to be at peace . What a nice name, right?

"She has a beautiful smile . You don't even know . . . Besides you, she's the only woman in the world that has wished me a happy birthday . . . But, Ma . . . She's Jiamu's fiance . . . You'd definitely tell me to not do anything to let Jiamu down, right?

"So, Ma . . . right now, I'm on my own again . "

As Lu Jinnian said this, he suddenly covered his face with his hand, and quietly knelt there in front of the gravestone . His shoulders started to tremble ever so slightly .

After two hundred and fifty-one days of being reunited, they had to split up again . The anguish was far more intense than imagined .
