137 We Have All Been Forgotten 7 (1/2)
Su Zhinian put his pen down, leaned back in his chair, and raised his hand to massage his eyes that had gotten a bit weary.
The diary that was open on the table revealed a page that was filled with words.
December 20th 2015 (Actually it's already 1 am of the 21st). Stars but no moon.
Today was one of the rare occasion where I returned home early. I was overjoyed to receive Tingting's call on the way home. However, the bad news came when I reached home. I really did not want to let her go meet Qin Yinan, but afraid that it might make her sad, I chose to let her go.
It just so happened that Tang Nuo invited me to join him at City Clubhouse. I agreed even though I knew she was going to be there.
Originally regretted being there, but was ultimately thankful for having made that choice because I heard her say, From now on, I am giving up on Qin Yinan.

I discovered the secret five years ago and knew it prevents me from ever loving her and becoming a couple with her, but I still selfishly wished that she would not fall in love with somebody else.
Yes, I am indeed despicably selfish.
Oftentimes, I really hate the superpowers I was born with because it strips me of the ability of self-deception. Everywhere I see there are only the naked truths.
However, tonight, I am thankfully for my superpowers because something horrible happened to Tingting. Thankfully, it ended on a happy note.
The only regret I have was I was unable to give my jacket to cover Tingting's body when I saw her standing there alone by the lakeside in her soaked clothes.
Song Qingchun's mutterings then drifted from next door again.
