“Chu He…”

The policewoman continued speaking. “Qingxue, I can’t figure it out at all; you shouldn’t have left him. Since you’re not one who can lay down a relationship, forcing yourself to let go is just counterproductive! I’m the strong and stubborn type perhaps. If I were you, I wouldn’t allow myself to be moved or fall head over heels from the start; would decisively leave him before I fell too deeply into the relationship, but if I did fall too deeply in love, then no matter how many women he had, I would definitely snatch him back. Regardless if I would have a status, I wanted the man’s body and heart; there should be no other! Since you’ve persisted for so long, be it out of silliness or naivety, why don’t you persist till the end?”

The woman bit her lower lip as tears flooded her eyes. “…But there’s no hope between us.”

“Since you can’t get your happiness, then you shouldn’t let him be happy, either. He turned your life upside down, so you can do the same to him! Both of you are tormenting each other either way; you may as well bind him to you for life.”

Meng Qingxue was stunned momentarily. She thought that Chu He would advise her to leave that man and then start a life afresh.

To her surprise, her friend had deemed her breakup unnecessary and, instead, figured that she should not have walked away from the relationship.

The policewoman added thoughtfully. “It’s true that you did look free and easy when you left like that, but, in reality, you’ve never really let go of him in your thoughts! His name is etched in your heart, which can never be erased. Are you truly that carefree when his name will remain in you for the rest of your life? For me, I’d rather forget him completely or be entangled with him for life, but can you truly forget him totally? You see, a mere mention of him and your face will change immediately. It’s impossible for you to let go of him, nor can you let go of your obsession, so why bother when it’s just self-deception? If I were you, I’d snatch him right back despite everything else!”

Meng Qingxue frowned with a start. Indeed, as what her friend said, she could not let go of that man wholly.

The man’s name had been deeply engraved in her heart; he had occupied the best time of her life.

She loved him. Although he was not perfect and had many shortcomings, she had fallen into a spell with him.

“Then…”—she posed a question out of the blue—”if you were to meet Baby Chu’s biological father one day and he turned out to be someone whom you’ve loved dearly in the past, but he’s already had other women or even a wife by then, would you do that—snatch him back, I mean?”

“It isn’t the same.”

“How’s it different?”

“Even if that day were to come, it’d depend on whether I like him or not. Should I feel nothing for him, why would I want him back? If I do love him, but he has forgotten about me and already has his family, then I can’t just go destroying it, but your case is different; your man never belongs to anyone, so you don’t need to care so much about ethics.”

“Eh”—he nodded—”I understand now.”

“I hope you’ve got a true understanding. A person’s life is very short. If one doesn’t have the courage to fight for what they like or want, it’ll be a waste of their life.”

“Chu He, you have such a dashing approach to life.”

The other woman gave her a carefree smile. “This isn’t a dashing approach; it’s just for the love of life.”
