Chapter 1: The Mysterious Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The cool March breeze lightly grazed Su Wan’s skin the moment she got off her plane in S City. With the breeze against her skin, she felt a sudden warmth enveloping her.

It was nearly 11 pm but the streets in S City were still brightly lit and crowded with people. Su Wan was astonished as she stood on the bridge, looking at the tall buildings surrounding her.

She had stayed in S City for eighteen years. It had only been three years that she had not seen the city and she felt a strangeness as if generations had passed.

Su Wan took a deep breath. She tightened the light purple scarf around her neck and called the hotel she had reserved for herself earlier.

 

“Hello, is this Lifetime Affinity Hotel? I’m Miss Su. I’ve reserved Room 03 yesterday. I’ll be arriving soon. Could you please have it cleaned up?”

“Of course.” Su Wan ended the call calmly yet there was a sense of loneliness in her appearance.

 

Looking at the ripples made by the running water under the moonlight below the bridge, Su Wan sighed. She and her parents were once regular passers-by of this bridge but now, nothing had changed but the people.

 

She did not inform anyone of her return from Dong Chen Country, perhaps because she didn’t want to disturb her grandparents.

 

Her time of arrival was pretty late and if her grandparents were to receive her that night, Su Wan would be worried. So, she pre-reserved the hotel room and thought that she would pack her things before returning to her house which she had not seen for years.

 

Just as Su Wan turned around, ready to hail a taxi, she saw a man in a black windbreaker walking toward her. He was tall and his body was swaying a little.

Was this man drunk?

 

Su Wan blinked, feeling uncertain. The man swept past her and walked quickly toward the railings on the bridge. His body started to rise and fall severely.

 

From Su Wan’s perspective, the man looked as if he was going to jump down the river.

 

Based on the windbreaker he was wearing, he looked like he was from a well-to-do family. Was he heartbroken?

Although Su Wan did not think of herself as Mother Mary, she couldn’t bring herself to ignore if someone was about to commit suicide in front of her.

Su Wan frowned slightly and dashed anxiously toward the man.

 

“Mister, don’t take things too hard. Maybe I can help you.”

 

Just when Su Wan wanted to continue consoling and advising the man in black, she saw that the man was not committing suicide but rather, he was taking off his black windbreaker. Under the windbreaker was a properly ironed smoky gray shirt.
