He held her and stood in the middle of the heart...
Jing Jiaren covered her lips and tears fell in clusters. The scene of that night seemed to reappear, every oath he said, every sweet word...
After they broke up, she kept wearing that watch. But she never had the courage to listen to it.
But now, Jing Jiaren felt an urge to hear his voice...
She took off her watch and found the switch knob.
[Once upon a time, there was one person who told me to love you, and another person who told me not to love you. But one day I don’t love you and die, who do you think is left? 】
Ximen Longting's deep voice came.
This was the first time she listened to the recording on her watch, and she never had the courage to open it before.
Listening to his voice again, it seemed like a world away.
[This is also called a story? If you want to hear that, just say it. 】
【Answer me.】
【Okay, the rest is 'I love you'.】
【I love you too.】
Jing Jiaren covered her lips harder and sobbed vigorously, feeling so sad that she couldn't help herself.
[The same story, but with a different ending. One day I love you to death, who will be left? 】
【I don’t love you.】
【But I still love you——】
Jing Jiaren's tears fell heavily on the dial, and she sobbed that she couldn't breathe.
The reason for pretending to be indifferent for so many days was not that she had forgotten him, but that she really couldn't face that memory.
[Whether you love me or not, Jing Jiaren, I love you. I love you so much. Only you can wear this ring. No one can be my wife, Ximen Longting, except you.]
Ximen Longting, you big fool. I am not worthy of your love at all!
Jing Jiaren's eyes blurred with tears as she listened repeatedly. She didn't know how many times she listened.
As if addicted, I kept listening to Ximen Longting's voice to find solace.
When she heard it for the 99th time, a miracle happened. The watch seemed to have a mechanism being triggered and the gears were spinning.
Click.
The watch cover suddenly popped open, and a hidden recording from Ximen Longting appeared:
[You ran away 100 times, but I only chased you 99 times - the last time I didn’t chase you, I ran with you.]
Immediately afterwards, the dial inside automatically popped out, as if to tell her that there was another layer of mezzanine.
Jing Jiaren gently disassembled the dial, and sure enough...
Inside the watch, lies a ring.
It turns out that this watch is just a disguised "ring box"!
Jing Jiaren's heart began to beat wildly in her chest, and her brain was dizzy due to lack of oxygen. She stared at the ring in disbelief for a long time...
The ring was set between the gears of the watch. She looked at it, turned the ring, and took it out.
The structure of the gear suddenly began to loosen...
Jing Jiaren hurriedly pressed the gear, fearing that the watch would be broken.
The ring is very simple, just a round ring, but the workmanship is exquisite, with words vaguely engraved on the inside.
Jing Jiaren took it under the light to see——
【I would like to give you a prison——XM】(I would like to give you a prison——Ximen.)
Jing Jiaren's mind was blank. She didn't expect that Ximen Longting had put so much thought into this watch.
No wonder he metaphorically reminded her that only she could wear this "ring".
Jing Jiaren put the ring on her ring finger, it was just the right size.
Tears filled her eyes again, and she tried hard to suppress her emotions.
If she hadn't listened to his recording, the mechanism would never have been triggered.
