Later, Wen Xinya never came to see him again. What sustained him during the three years of painful time in prison was his gnawing longing for Wen Xinya and the promise he had never made to her.
He would always think over and over again of her clean and plain face, her pure and beautiful tears, the dazzling light in her eyes, and the clear and bright light.
That was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in all the years he had known Wen Xinya.
He often thought of what Wen Xinya said to him that day: "Wait for me" and "I'll wait for you." Whenever he thought of it, he felt like his heart was about to melt with sweetness.
He told his friends in prison that his girlfriend was very beautiful and pure and was waiting for him to be released from prison, but no one believed him. They all said that if your girlfriend loves you, why doesn't she ever come to see you
But no matter what they said, he always believed that Wen Xinya was waiting for him.
Three years later, he was finally released from prison.
He stood at the door of the prison, with the free sky above his head and the vast earth under his feet. He felt like a newborn, filled with excitement and joy.
He couldn't wait to find Wen Xinya and tell her the promise he had never made to her.
However, he never expected that what he was waiting for was the news of her death: "The eldest daughter of the Wen family died suddenly from a drug overdose!"
He couldn't believe that all this was true.
He ran to the hospital like a madman and found her unclaimed body in the hospital morgue. Looking at her lying in the cold ice room with a glaring white sheet covering her body, he almost collapsed.
"Wen Xinya—" he roared, and lifted the white sheet, revealing her clean and pure face. Her face was no longer as thin as before, with a hint of beautiful fullness. Her pale skin also became whiter, and the dark shadows under her eyes due to drug abuse were also lightened a lot.
She lay quietly, emitting a beauty that was pure, noble and chaste, like a sleeping princess, waiting for the prince's affectionate kiss to break the spell and wake her from her slumber.
Xu Chenyu seemed possessed. He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her pale lips. The cold and stiff touch made his whole body cold and his blood froze instantly.
He kissed his princess.
However, his princess did not wake up.
Fairy tales are all lies.
Xu Chenyu completely collapsed and cried out in pain: "Wen Xinya, you said you would wait for me, and you also said that I should wait for you. I did it, I came out... Wake up..."
It was as if the faith that supported him collapsed in an instant, and he felt that his whole world was shattered.
Xu Chenyu desperately shook her stiff body and roared, "Wen Xinya, do you still remember the dice bet we made three years ago? You lost to me, and you still owe me a request. Listen, I want you to be my girlfriend. I will treat you well and take care of you for the rest of my life. Do you hear me..."
This was the only promise he made to Wen Xinya in his life, but she could never hear it again.
Xu Chenyu cried bitterly, "Wen Xinya, you said you would wait for me, why didn't you wait for me... You didn't keep your word... How could you be so cruel to me..."
The door of the morgue was pushed open, and the sound of heavy footsteps seemed like a heavy mourning for Wen Xinya.
Xu Chenyu looked towards the door in a daze, and saw a tall foreign man walking up to Wen Xinya's body with a sad face.
He protected Wen Xinya's body and looked at the man in front of him warily, like a wounded hedgehog, stabbing anyone he saw, "Who are you?"
The man looked sad: "My name is Henry, and I'm a friend of Wen Xinya." The gray-blue eyes looked at him friendly and said sadly: "You are Xu Chenyu, right? I often heard Xinya mention you in the past three years."
After saying that, his eyes fell on Wen Xinya's body.
Xu Chenyu didn't believe him at all. Wen Xinya had no friends except him. He had never heard Wen Xinya mention that she had a friend named Henry. No one in the world would be truly kind to her.
Henry said sadly, "She's been off drugs for three years!"
Xu Chenyu was completely stunned, and his mind vaguely recalled Wen Xinya's eyes, which had been dimmed by drug abuse three years ago, and suddenly blossomed into a dazzling, clear and bright light.
I finally understood what she meant by "wait for me" and "I'll wait for you".
Firm and persistent, heavy and simple.
"She has been taking drugs for seven or eight years. It is basically impossible for her to quit at this time, but she persisted. She is the most persistent and beautiful girl I have ever seen."
Xu Chenyu suddenly burst into tears, tears constantly washing his eyelids.
In fact, during the past three years of cold prison life, he had blamed Wen Yaya for not coming to see him. However, he did not expect that Wen Yaya did not want to see him, but wanted to show him her purest and most beautiful side.
"She once told me that she thought there was no one in the world who would treat her sincerely, but there was one person who gave everything for her, so she couldn't let him down anymore. Even if she wanted to live, she had to live with dignity."
Xu Chenyu was completely stunned.
The sense of shame that came naturally to him made him feel at a loss. In fact, he did not give everything to Wen Xinya as she thought. He was not even willing to give her a promise. He even let her live without dignity and in such a miserable state.
He felt unworthy of Wen Xinya's clean, bright, persistent, pure and beautiful feelings.
Wen Xinya is so silly that as long as others are willing to be nice to her, she will open her heart and give all her sincerity to them.
That's why she was deceived by family affection.
That's why she was humiliated by Ning Shuqian and her daughter.
"In the past three years, I have seen her use her strong willpower to endure drug addiction and withdrawal reactions time and time again. I have seen her drug intake decrease. I have seen her almost succeed. If she is given another three months, she will become a normal person, living a noble and beautiful life. How could she die suddenly from a drug overdose?"
Xu Chenyu clenched his hands into fists.
No one knows what a strong, persistent and steadfast soul Wen Xinya possesses. Once she makes up her mind to do something, she will definitely do it.
Even though drugs destroyed her young and healthy body, her youthful and beautiful face, and her incomparable pride day after day and year after year, they could not destroy her innate nobility and the burning character that was ingrained in her bones.
"Do you think that if I quit drugs, I will still have a chance to survive?" The words that Wen Xinya said to him three years ago suddenly popped up in his mind.
The doubts in my heart grew wildly like weeds.
