Don't keep my friend waiting." Later, Xie Liu found out that Lu Zhen had been secretly in love with a senior girl for five years. He wouldn't love anyone else except her. Since then, Xie Liu, the sidekick, has never been seen around Lu Zhen again. The little brother asked Lu Zhen what happened.

After the college entrance examination, Xie Liu went abroad. Years later, they met again at a high school reunion. Someone saw Xie Liu being carried by Lu Zhen and sitting on a washbasin. Intoxicated, he approached her, his peach blossom eyes shimmering, his voice tinged with tears, "Xie Liu, you're ruthless, you left without looking back... I've been looking for you like a fucking crazy dog for five years!" Xie Liu responded calmly, "Read your books, Mr. Lu, you don't have to be like this. We are not on the same path." Lu Zhen choked, furrowing his brow, "Not on the same path? I would tear it apart and rebuild it for you in a minute, do you believe me?" This time, I would rather die on the road with you.
