--- 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.

--- Because Nan Ya's injury medical record mysteriously skipped pages, Lin Fanglu suspected someone deliberately destroyed it, so he went to Chen Ling again to ask about the situation, which caused Chen Ling's emotions to erupt. Chen Ling left the hospital angrily and sat by the river alone in a daze. After she calmed down, she talked with Lin Fanglu and, based on her understanding of Nan Ya, firmly believed that Nan Ya murdered Xu Yi.

In fact, the root of Nan Ya's tragedy lay with her mother, who loved poetry. This woman had hoped to return to the city but was violated by Nan Ya's father after getting drunk, became pregnant in a daze, and was completely bound to Qingshui Town. Nan Ya's father was addicted to alcohol, and whenever he was drunk, their home would become his outlet.

Facing her husband's repeated brutality, Nan Ya's mother bore immense psychological pressure and finally chose to commit suicide with lingering resentment. Losing her mother, Nan Ya did not see repentance or change in her father. Soon, her father remarried a divorced woman named Hu Xiu, who had a son named Hu Lifan. He was Nan Ya's stepbrother and also the man who truly ruined her life.

Originally, Nan Ya had excellent grades and planned to apply for university to leave Qingshui Town, but Hu Xiu wanted her to marry Hu Lifan, selfishly withholding the money for her registration fee, forcing her to drop out of school. For a time, Nan Ya gradually became cheerful under the guidance of Chen Ling and her parents, but not long after, her father froze to death from drunkenness, and she was publicly slapped and cursed by Hu Xiu.

From then on, Nan Ya's personality reverted to being as solitary and indifferent as before, unwilling to share her thoughts with Chen Ling even if she had any. Hu Lifan was uneducated and wasteful, exhausting the family's savings, relying entirely on Hu Xiu for food, clothing, play, and entertainment. Thus, Nan Ya had no money for school and was deprived of the opportunity for further education by the Hu family mother and son.

After graduating from high school, she could only work in a factory to save money. In contrast, Chen Ling met a wealthy man, Xu Yi, quickly established a relationship with him, and introduced him to Nan Ya. But Chen Ling never imagined that Nan Ya would seduce her boyfriend, develop a deep relationship behind her back, and walk into the marriage hall.

Chen Ling felt betrayed by her best friend and lover, but she didn't blame Xu Yi, who had started the affair and abandoned her. Instead, she developed hatred towards Nan Ya, spreading rumors about her everywhere, using the outsider's mentality of watching a good show and Xu Yi's suspicion, ultimately dragging Nan Ya into the abyss. After seeing Chen Ling, Lin Fanglu personally went to visit Nan Ya and told her about her daughter Wan Wan's situation.

That year, Lin Fanglu successfully applied to the University of Political Science and Law and also hoped that Nan Ya could leave Qingshui Town sooner, but after many years, Nan Ya had unexpectedly followed in her mother's footsteps. Nan Ya told Lin Fanglu that Xu Yi was a selfish, violent, suspicious, and extremely possessive person; he was weak at his core and had no bottom line.

Lin Fanglu was curious why Nan Ya would marry such a man, but Nan Ya's attitude suddenly changed, stating frankly that even if she was materialistic, it should not be a reason for domestic violence. Late at night in the quiet hospital compound, Zhou Luo and Nan Ya sat side by side and talked openly for the first time. Zhou Luo read poetry to Nan Ya and even adapted the poems into music, which touched Nan Ya slightly.

Their past disputes and conflicts vanished like smoke, as if they had returned to the beautiful time they had shared at the audio store. The next day, Zhou Luo's family completed the discharge procedures for him. Nan Ya personally knitted a sweater and gave it to him, which surprised him greatly. But not long after, Xu Yi was released from the detention center and went to find Nan Ya with flowers and gifts.

Soon, neighbors and people in the streets were spreading rumors that the two had reconciled. Zhou Luo was furious when he heard this and threw the sweater into the trash bin upon returning home. Zhou Luo couldn't help but run to question Nan Ya, but the answer he got was that she couldn't leave Xu Yi.

In fact, Xu Yi acted polite, restrained, and magnanimous in front of outsiders, but secretly spread rumors, attempting to mold Nan Ya into a slutty and vulgar woman to satisfy his twisted possessiveness. Nan Ya knew this clearly, so while Xu Yi was off guard, she held a dagger to his neck, showing a determination to die together, scaring Xu Yi into agreeing to move out of the house.
