Liu Xu thought that the restoration of the watch would be a new beginning. But she was wrong.
A few days after getting the watch, Liu Xu was immersed in the joy of regaining it. She wore her watch carefully, feeling the warmth it brought.
However, Su Qing became somewhat restless. She always made phone calls secretly and spoke in a rather evasive manner.
One day, while rummaging through the house, Liu Xu accidentally found an anonymous letter in Su Qing's drawer. The letter paper was black, and the handwriting on it seemed to be pieced together with distorted symbols, exuding a cold malice.
There is only a short sentence in the letter: "You don't deserve to have happiness."
Liu Xu's heart sank suddenly. Who sent this? Why say such words?
Immediately after that, she found a stack of torn photo fragments deep in the drawer. Trembling, she picked up these fragments and tried to piece them together. Soon, she recognized - that was her graduation photo!
Although torn to pieces, she could still see the smiling faces of herself and her classmates, as well as those familiar scenes. What's going on here? The negatives of her graduation photos have been given to the Time Craftsman. Where did these photos come from?
A terrifying thought flashed through Liu Xu's mind. She rushed up to Su Qing and questioned him.
Su Qing's face turned pale in an instant and her eyes dodged. Under the persistent questioning of Liu Xu, he finally admitted everything.
It turned out that he didn't give the negative of his graduation photo to the Time Craftsman. He sold the negatives to an artist on the black market who specialized in collecting others' "memories".
That artist printed photos from negatives, obtained information from them, carried out what he called "creation", and even made profits from it.
And that anonymous letter was either a "gift" attached by the artist during the transaction or his sickly taste. The money Su Qing received was used by him to fill his own debt gap.
As for the matter of the craftsman repairing the watch, Su Qing paid someone else to make a temporary dial and installed it on Liu Xu's watch, making her think that it was repaired by that mysterious craftsman.
The truth was like a cold knife, stabbing fiercely into the heart of the willow catkins. Su Qing's lies, deceptions and betrays caused her more pain than the watch breaking itself.
Not only did he destroy her precious carrier of memories, but he also used her memories to make dirty deals.
You... How could you do this! Liu Xu felt all her strength drained away. She pointed at Su Qing, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
Su Qing lowered her head and muttered under her breath, "I didn't mean it..." I'm just... Lack of money...
Short of money? Are you going to sell my memories? Are you going to sell my most precious thing? "!"
Liu Xu shouted hysterically, her tears blurring her vision. She felt unprecedented despair and anger. The person she once thought she could rely on turned out to be such a despicable liar and betrayer.
