The case of Nan Ya killing her husband has not yet been definitively characterized. Reporters interviewed Lin Fanglu and Lao Chen at the station, attempting to understand the actions of Qingshui Town police in the domestic violence incident, as well as whether Xu Yi was guilty in the bridge case and if there was a logical causal relationship with Nan Ya's self-defense.

Lin Fanglu believed that Nan Ya had been completely controlled by Xu Yi, making it impossible for her to get a divorce. All evidence of domestic violence was destroyed, and Zhou Luo was the only person who caused Xu Yi to be detained, which was extremely unfair to Nan Ya. Lao Chen disagreed with Lin Fanglu again.

The police sent a representative to respond to reporter questions, stating that they would be extremely cautious in homicide investigations, neither wrongly accusing a good person nor letting a bad person go unpunished. --- Time returned to seven months ago. Chen Jun and others repeatedly invited Zhou Luo out to play, but he always refused, finding excuses. At the same time, he frequently showed affection towards Nan Ya.

During the scorching summer vacation filled with cicadas, the young man carefully selected bouquets every day to send to the clothing store, immersing himself in this without tiring. Until one day, he discovered those flowers discarded in the trash pile, and a chill went through his heart. On this day, Zhang Qingli proactively came to find Zhou Luo, asking with a slight complaint if he was deliberately avoiding her.

Although Zhou Luo replied that he was busy with schoolwork, Zhang Qingli clearly felt that things had changed between them. To maintain their relationship, she pretended to be relaxed and hoped Zhou Luo would act as if nothing happened and they could continue to be friends. Wan Wan went to the store alone to shop, mentioning that her mother had asked her to deliver dried longan to her maternal grandmother.

Zhou Luo sensed a clue from this remark and suddenly had a bad premonition. He urged Lin Guixiang to quickly call the police. After saying this, he took off running, sprinting all the way to Nan Ya's house. As expected, sounds of tables and chairs overturning, cups and bowls shattering came from the courtyard, mixed with a man's roar. Nan Ya hid in a corner, her mouth and nose bleeding, painfully enduring Xu Yi's violence.

Seeing a chair about to be thrown at Nan Ya, Zhou Luo instinctively shielded her, but he was hit in the back by the chair, the pain unbearable. Xu Yi mistook Zhou Luo for a lover and punched and kicked him. Although Zhou Luo was young and weak, he tried his best to fight back. At the critical moment, Lin Guixiang arrived with police officers.

Seeing her son collapsed on the ground, Lin Guixiang was furious and rushed forward without a second thought to fight Xu Yi, but under the police officers' dissuasion, she first took Zhou Luo to the hospital. Afterward, the police officers acted as mediators, stating that Xu Yi was willing to cover all nutritional and medical expenses and provide an additional 50,000 yuan in compensation, hoping that Mr. and Mrs. Lin Guixiang would sign the settlement agreement. However, they refused.

Nan Ya personally visited the hospital. After enduring Lin Guixiang's angry accusations, she still insisted on staying. Because she needed to look after the store, Lin Guixiang couldn't spare time to be at the hospital. Coupled with Nan Ya going to the police station to testify that Xu Yi had beaten people, she handed her son over to Nan Ya to care for. Lao Zhou thought Nan Ya was heartless, even thinking of sending her husband to jail.

Lin Guixiang heard this and was displeased, believing that even jailing a man who commits domestic violence like this wouldn't be satisfying enough. Although Zhou Luo was injured and apologized, Nan Ya had not forgiven him for his previous offense. In Nan Ya's view, swords hurt the body, but words kill the heart. Words spoken are hard to take back, and gratitude and forgiveness cannot be exchanged. It was precisely because of this that Zhou Luo was in low spirits.

In the evening, he borrowed poetry books to convey his guilt and feelings to Nan Ya. Wan Wan had a severe fever. Jiang Zhi reprimanded Nan Ya for being irresponsible and warned that if a similar situation occurred again, dialysis would be necessary. Hospital nurses gossiped about Nan Ya's private matters. Wherever she went, she was maliciously speculated about. Zhou Luo comforted Nan Ya sympathetically, but she always showed a strong side and kept others at a distance.

Soon after, Xu Yi's family came to trouble Nan Ya. Zhou Luo worried about her safety, sneaked out of the hospital in the middle of the night, and went to find her in the heavy rain. Seeing Nan Ya safe and sound, Zhou Luo finally relaxed. But Nan Ya saw Zhou Luo soaked and couldn't bear it, so she asked him to come in and sit for a while. Zhou Luo took this opportunity to apologize again.

After the rain stopped, Nan Ya rode her bicycle to take Zhou Luo back to the hospital. They passed the bluestone alley bathed in moonlight; the arched bridge shrouded in mist. Accompanied by Zhou Luo's recitation of poetry, word by word, it gradually imprinted itself on each other's souls.

On the sixth day after the incident, Lin Fanglu waited for Zhou Luo to come home and directly pointed out that he and Nan Ya had similar reading interests, suspecting their relationship was more than shallow. Zhou Luo retorted, saying he had almost borrowed every book in the collection, so this could not be used as a basis. On the contrary, Lin Fanglu and Nan Ya were classmates, so their connection was far deeper than his.

With one sentence, Zhou Luo shifted from a passive position to an active one. The two intelligent people tested each other, and it was hard to tell who had the upper hand in their back and forth. Afterward, Zhou Luo returned to his room and was silent for a long time before slowly unfolding an old group photo. On it were a young Lin Fanglu and Nan Ya, standing side by side, smiling at the camera.
