What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

Gu Jiang nodded, his face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a subtle warmth. He slowly boarded the boat, his steps steady and firm.

They sailed to the sea together, the boat rocked gently in the waves, as if playing a beautiful piece of music. Gu Jiang stood at the bow, feeling the breeze, and his mood gradually calmed down. He closed his eyes, enjoying the tranquility and freedom, as if all his troubles were thrown away.

Song Yiran looked at Gu Jiang, her heart filled with joy. She knew that she might never be able to replace Lin Yizhi's position in Gu Jiang's heart, but she was willing to accompany him silently, waiting for the day when he would open his heart.

She stood quietly beside Gu Jiang, her eyes full of tenderness and determination. She believed that time would prove everything, and she would move Gu Jiang with her sincerity.

Lin Yizhi left Gu Jiang's house in a daze, and returned to the small house they had rented temporarily opposite with unsteady steps.

When I opened the door, a cold and desolate atmosphere hit me. The small space was empty, with only a simple table and a sofa standing there alone, as if telling the owner's loneliness.

She lay limply on the sofa like a rag doll that had all its strength drained away, staring blankly out the window, the world outside the window also becoming blurry.

The scenes at Gu Jiang's house kept appearing in her mind. Gu Jiang's indifference, Song Yiran's shyness and enthusiasm, like a movie replaying, stimulated her nerves over and over again.

This small house, in her eyes, was like a huge cage that trapped her tightly.

She felt extremely lonely and helpless, as if she had been abandoned by the world. She wanted to shout loudly, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she could not make a sound.

She just lay there quietly, looking out the window, and time seemed to have frozen at this moment. She didn't know what to do, or where the future would lead her. The pain in her heart was like a tide, constantly surging and drowning her.

Lin Yizhi was lying on the sofa, her mind full of this question. Her eyes revealed confusion and struggle. She knew that she had made a mistake and deeply hurt Gu Jiang, but she was unwilling to lose him just like that.

She began to reflect on her past and recalled the moments that led to the breakdown of their relationship. She realized how much pain her willfulness, selfishness and lack of understanding had brought to Gu Jiang. She thought that if time could go back, she would definitely cherish Gu Jiang and not make those mistakes again.

Lin Yizhi understood that in order to get Gu Jiang back to her side, she had to change herself first. She decided to learn to care about others, understand and tolerate from now on.

She wanted Gu Jiang to see her growth and changes, and let him know that she was no longer the Lin Yizhizi who only cared about her own feelings.

She wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Gu Jiang, sincerely apologize to him, and express her inner guilt and regret.

She wanted to tell him that she still loved him and that her love had never changed. She would patiently wait for Gu Jiang's response, even if he needed time to think about it, she was willing to wait.

Lin Yizhi also thought that she could start with Gu Jiang's interests and hobbies and get back into his life.

She knew that Gu Jiang liked to go out to sea, so she could learn some knowledge about the ocean and have more common topics with him. She could also care about Gu Jiang's life and do something within her ability for him to make him feel her warmth and care.

However, Lin Yizhi also knew that all this would not be easy.

Gu Jiang's heart has been deeply hurt by her, and it will take a lot of effort to win his trust and love again. But she will not give up, because she knows that Gu Jiang is the most important person in her life, and she is willing to work hard to change herself for him and regain their former happiness.

She sat quietly in the room. Time passed quietly, but she seemed to be frozen in time, looking forward to Gu Jiang's return.

Gradually, she completely forgot about eating. Everything in the outside world seemed to be isolated from her. Only the waiting figure firmly occupied all her thoughts. The hands of the clock kept turning, and the night was getting darker and darker, but Gu Jiang still didn't come back.

A strong sense of worry suddenly surged in her heart, and all kinds of bad scenes kept appearing in her mind. Did she encounter any danger when going out to sea?
Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still. She stood up suddenly and rushed out of the room in panic.

The night wind was a little chilly, but she didn't notice it at all, and just ran eagerly towards the only pier nearby. Along the way, her steps were hurried and messy, and her hair was flying in the wind.

Finally arriving at the dock, she was wearing thin clothes, and her frail body looked even more helpless in the sea breeze.

She stood there blankly, staring at the endless sea, as if she wanted to see through it. Her face was as pale as a piece of white paper, without a trace of blood, and her brows were tightly furrowed, like two deep ravines, which were full of confusion and worry.

There were tears glistening in his eyes, and his look was empty and confused, as if he had lost his soul.

She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to call Gu Jiang's name, but was afraid that she would not get a response, and her lips trembled slightly.

The sea breeze blew on her, very cold. She couldn't help but hug her arms tightly, her body trembling slightly, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

But she seemed not to feel the cold, and still stared at the sea motionlessly, hoping that the familiar figure would appear on the horizon.

She didn't know how long she waited at the dock, and time seemed to be stretched infinitely. Every minute and every second, her heart was tightly gripped, and she was looking forward to Gu Jiang's return.

Halfway through the journey, a boat slowly returned. At that moment, her eyes lit up instantly, full of anticipation, and her body leaned forward unconsciously, as if this would allow her to confirm more quickly whether the person on the boat was Gu Jiang.

However, when the boat approached and the people on board could be seen clearly, the light dimmed instantly and all the expectations were shattered.

At this time, some kind uncles and aunts passed by. They looked at this lonely young woman with concern in their eyes.

The uncle advised her to go back earnestly, saying that people who go out to sea will not be back for a while, and it is too dangerous for a beautiful young woman to stand alone on the beach so late.

Lin Yizhi shook her head gently, her eyes still looking at the sea stubbornly.

The aunt also joined in the persuasion, telling her that the weather at sea was very good today and nothing would happen, and that it usually took several days to return from the sea, so just waiting blindly would not work.

Lin Yizhi listened to their words. Although she felt very reluctant, she also knew that what they said made sense.

She moved slowly, looking back at the sea every three steps, and every time she looked back was filled with attachment and worry.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned around and walked towards home. Her lonely figure looked particularly desolate in the night.
