A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

The air suddenly became as gloomy as night.

Soft singing could be faintly heard from the riverside bar in the distance.

The melody, tinged with a touch of sadness, drifted slowly into their ears—

It's a song about unrequited love, titled "The Love Story of a White Dove and a Crow," which sounds tragic and helpless.

"It sounds so good..."

Su Wan leaned against the car door, listening quietly, a faint smile playing on her lips, but her eyes were filled with loneliness.

"The melody is truly unique..."

She used to like this song simply because of its catchy melody and the singer's beautiful voice.

But now, listening to it again, she inexplicably understood the deeper meaning of the lyrics, and the heartache and despair of loving someone you can't have.

"Ah, that sounds really good..."

She murmured softly, and a tear slid down her cheek without warning.

It dripped down her cheek and onto the ground, spreading out in a small wet patch.

She hummed along softly to the melody of the music.

Her voice was slightly low and hoarse, yet carried an ethereal sadness.

Like a feather, it gently brushes against the heart.

……

"The dial tone clicked, you hung up the phone, and the raindrops pattered, as if you were laughing at me."

"The story diverged, you left me behind, feigning elegance, I pretended to let go, hoping you can meet a better her."

……

Lu Chenyuan stood still, listening quietly.

He was never a fan of music, and even thought that music was just a useless thing to kill time.

In his life, there was only the sweat of training, the thrill of capture, and the rigor of work; there was never a moment of sentimentality like listening to songs to express his feelings.

He doesn't understand who created music, nor does he understand the meaning of its existence.

But at this moment, looking at Su Wan with tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips, and listening to her slightly hoarse but painful singing voice, he suddenly understood—music is perhaps used to express those unspeakable emotions.

He looked at her, at her being immersed in her own world, at her expressing her grievances and despair through song, and his heart suddenly trembled.

He suddenly remembered the heavy voice he heard at the farmhouse yesterday—it turned out that the song he sang last night was also sung by her.

Without the microphone amplification, her voice sounded even more real, and it made his heart clench even tighter, as if something was gripping him tightly, making it difficult to even breathe.

"Like a wave, unable to kiss the sunset, I am powerless to struggle..."

As she sang this line, Su Wan suddenly opened her eyes and stared intently at Lu Chenyuan.

The sadness in her eyes was almost tangible, surging out like a tide and crashing straight into Lu Chenyuan's heart.

Lu Chenyuan's heart trembled violently, feeling even more choked up, and his breathing became heavy.

He never imagined that this woman, who always seemed so carefree and eccentric, harbored so much grievance and despair deep inside.

Her love was so passionate, her abandonment so resolute, and her singing so poignant.

Every single point was like a knife, stabbing deeply into his heart.

"Like wildflowers, unable to reach the crescent moon, they can only be broken off by the evening breeze."

"The love story of doves and crows only exists in fairy tales..."

Her singing voice carries an extreme sense of sorrow, as well as a resolute determination to turn away.

It was like saying goodbye to him, or like offering a final tribute to this unrequited love that ended without a trace.

As the last note faded, the singing gradually stopped.

Su Wan looked at Lu Chenyuan, the sadness in her eyes gradually fading, replaced by a trace of panic.

She seemed to realize that her singing had been too sad and too direct, like a naked confession of her feelings, or a humble plea for his return.

So she tried to raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a playful yet somewhat embarrassed smile, attempting to salvage her earlier embarrassment.

"Lu Chenyuan, did I sing well? I love singing, and I'm really good at it. Back in school, I was even the arts and culture representative!"

Lu Chenyuan stood there, not saying a word, just staring at her intently.

His eyes held a complex mix of emotions that defied comprehension—heartache, guilt, and confusion...

There was also a hint of tenderness that even he himself was unaware of.

His heart was already in turmoil—

He never imagined that he would be so moved by a song or so deeply affected by a person's emotions.

That inexplicable sadness seeped out from Su Wan's singing, slowly wrapping around his heart and making him feel a suffocating pain.

Su Wan, however, did not notice his strange behavior and continued talking to herself.

"Do you know how I trained my voice to be so powerful...?"

It was as if he wanted to use the alcohol to let out all the bitterness that had been bottled up in his heart for years.

"...It was because at that time, I didn't have money to pay tuition or rent. I heard that the pay for singing in bars was high, so I went there. I earned fifty yuan for each song, you know? I could sing thirty songs a night, three shows, from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m."

Her voice was soft, carrying a hint of bittersweet memories, and also a subtle sense of pride.

"Back then, there were endless songs to sing, endless dishes to wash, endless classes to catch up on, and countless nights to spend... I thought that as long as I worked a little harder, and a little harder still, I could live a good life and become the person I wanted to be."

"ah--"

She suddenly shouted loudly at the night sky.

His voice carried a long-suppressed grievance, resentment, and a sense of complete release and liberation.

Her hair was blown by the river breeze, and her figure appeared particularly slender in the hazy night, yet it carried a stubborn resilience.

She smiled as she looked at the distant river, no longer looking at Lu Chenyuan, as if she were speaking to him, or perhaps to herself.

"Why am I telling you all this? There's no need to gain your sympathy. I'm not trying to seduce you, nor am I trying to make you look back at me, much less use my pitiful background to make you like me or pity me..."

"Heh, I know, Vivi must have already told you everything about my past."

She gave a self-deprecating laugh, a hint of humility and desolation flashing in her eyes.

"I don't know if, after hearing this, you'll feel sorry for me, or like my former classmates, despise me, think I'm an unwanted wild child, and think the way I work so hard to earn money is despicable..."

"But it doesn't matter."

She shrugged and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"The past is the past."

"I'm doing very well now. I have a stable job, great best friends, and the ability to support myself."

"I'm telling you this not because I'm drunk and talkative, but because I want you to know that I really won't bother you anymore."

"Because in my life, Su Wan, there has never been an insurmountable obstacle, and I will never remain humble for someone who doesn't love me."

She paused, a bitter look flashing in her eyes, her voice soft, yet every word pierced the heart.

"And you, Lu Chenyuan, were my destined tribulation. Now that the tribulation is over, I should disappear from your life."

After saying that, she suddenly became interested, her eyes lit up again, and she looked at the beach bar not far away, saying to Lu Chenyuan.

"Lu Chenyuan, do you still want to hear a song? If you do, I'll go there and sing it for you. Do you want to listen? If you don't want to listen, I'll go by myself. I want to sing it for myself, for my past self."

For some reason, Su Wan suddenly felt an urge to sing.

She wanted to release all her emotions through her singing.

She wants to say goodbye to her past self and completely let go of this relationship that left her scarred.
