In the past, the question she least wanted to think deeply about now hangs over her head like a huge boulder, unexpectedly crashing down.
Ariana’s fingers clenched suddenly.
After Ariana returned home, she was still in a daze.
Until Zaiden came back.
Zaiden changed his shoes, placed the dinner specially brought for Ariana
on the table, and bent down to plant a kiss on Ariana’s forehead.
“What’s wrong, lost in thought?”
Ariana finally came to her senses.
She stared blankly at Zaiden.
“Zaiden, why were you at the beach when I jumped into the sea six months ago?”
Zaiden froze suddenly, still in the position of kissing.
Ariana’s heart plummeted straight to the bottom.
Originally, everything Eric said was true.
Two hours ago.
Ariana was across the street, and Eric slowly approached.
“Zaiden had a first girlfriend five years ago, who was a dancer. She got injured in a car accident and could no longer dance. Unable to cope with

“The day you jumped into the sea was the same day his first love girlfriend jumped into the sea five years ago. For the past five years, every year on this day, Zaiden would stay by the sea, mourning his first love girlfriend.”
“There is no sudden and unexpected favoritism, you are just a stand–in…
Across the table, Eric recounted all the information he had found.
Ariana listened word by word, keeping a calm expression on her face, but her hand clenched tightly under the table, causing her knuckles to turn white from the excessive force.
Eric looked at Ariana affectionately.
“Ariana, only I truly love you, have loved you for so many years! I will wait for you, wait for you to find the answer, and then come back to me.”
Memories are brought back to the present.
Tears welled up in Ariana’s eyes as she looked at Zaiden with difficulty.
“So, was I just a stand–in?”
“How is that possible!”
Zaiden blurted out, and for the first time, a look of panic appeared on his usually dignified and calm face.
The sorrowful and lost expression on Ariana’s face deeply pierced him.
Zaiden suppressed the pain and anxiety in his heart, forcing himself to stay calm.
At that time, failing to express their true thoughts well could very likely

push Ariana away, causing a rift between the two of them from then on.
He took a deep breath.
“I admit, I had a first girlfriend before, who also jumped into the sea and committed suicide in the same place five years ago.”
“I do indeed go there to pay my respects to her at the same time every year. It was also because of this that I coincidentally saved you.”
“At first, when I saw you jump into the sea, I did think of her. Initially, I did jump in to save you because I was reminded of her from five years ago…”
Seeing Ariana’s expression becoming increasingly sad, Zaiden’s mind was in chaos, his heart racing, and he was in a state of panic.
“But I never saw you as a substitute for her, not even for a minute!”

When Zaiden jumped into the sea to save Ariana, he knew it the moment he locked eyes with her.
Ariana was never a pretentious person.
Their eyes were completely different.
Personalities were also different.
His first love girlfriend would not be like Ariana, even if she lost her memory, she would not jump up and show her claws like a little beast.
She will never be as persistent and tenacious as Ariana, like a spark in the wild, unable to be trampled out or dispersed. Given the chance, she will ignite into a blaze of light.
Ariana is Ariana, not anyone else!

Zaiden was more aware of this than anyone else.
“You were never her! I did love her, but that’s in the past. I am now very clear and sober, about who I truly love!”
