In the last few days, River noticed that my attitude towards him had softened, and mistakenly thought that I had softened my heart, and a hint of relief appeared between his eyebrows. However, I already knew in my heart that this was the prelude to my farewell to him.

On the day when I was about to take off, River brought me preserved egg and lean meat porridge as usual. I ate it silently, one mouthful at a time, as if savoring every bit of the past. When he turned to leave, I whispered "goodbye", knowing in my heart that this might be the last time we would see each other in this life, and it also marked the end of my eight years of youth.

However , just as I was about to go through security and enter the airport, River rushed over and grabbed my wrist, refusing to let go. He asked anxiously, "You have obviously forgiven me, why are you leaving? I have thought it through now, and the person I love is you." He continued, "I already know I was wrong. Didn't you always want to marry me? Let's go get the marriage certificate tomorrow, okay? You like children, let's have one next year, and I will agree to whatever you want." As he spoke, he took out a box from his pants and opened it to reveal a perfectly cut diamond ring, which was even bigger than the one Ivy was wearing.
