The <i>silver </i>bracelets were made <i>by </i><i>John </i><i>after </i><i>he </i><i>collected </i><i>scrap </i><i>for </i><i>a </i><i>month</i><i>, </i><i>bought </i><i>the </i><i>materials</i>, <i>and </i><i>crafted </i><i>them </i>with <i>his </i>own hands. <i>They </i>had once <i>held </i><i>great </i><i>significance </i><i>for </i><i>me</i>.
<i>But </i>apart from their sentimental value<i>, </i><i>the </i><i>silver </i>bracelets <i>were </i><i>not </i><i>worth </i><i>much</i><i>. </i>
Moreover, <i>the </i>so–called preciousness <i>of </i><i>those </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets </i>was<i>, </i><i>to </i><i>me</i><i>, </i>a <i>thing </i>of <i>the </i><i>past</i>.
I no longer wanted John <i>himself</i><i>; </i><i>how </i><i>could </i><i>I </i><i>possibly </i><i>keep </i><i>the </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets</i><i>? </i>
On the <i>night </i>I moved <i>out </i><i>of </i><i>John’s </i><i>vi</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>happened </i><i>to </i><i>see </i><i>an </i><i>elderly </i><i>man </i><i>with </i><i>white </i><i>hair </i><i>rummaging </i><i>through </i><i>the </i>trash next to the dumpster. <i>I </i><i>took </i><i>off </i><i>the </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets </i><i>and </i><i>ced </i><i>them </i><i>in </i><i>front </i><i>of </i><i>the </i><i>old </i><i>man</i><i>. </i>
Selling <i>those </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets </i><i>could </i><i>provide </i><i>the </i><i>old </i><i>man </i><i>with </i><i>several </i><i>good </i><i>meals</i>.
That was <i>the </i><ist </i><i>bit </i><i>of </i><i>significance </i><i>they </i><i>held</i><i>. </i>
“What did you say?”
John’s fingers on her wrist suddenly tightened. Clearly, he couldn’t believe she would really throw away the silver bracelets.
“What did you do with those silver bracelets? Tell me again!”
Lily didn’t evade. Her voice was even colder, devoid of any fluctuation. “Things that are unimportant and unwanted naturally go into the trash bin!”
“Lily!”
John was about to be driven mad by Lily’s defiant and rebellious attitude, her very embodiment of “Born Defiant.”
However, after calming down, he realized that Lily was speaking out of anger.
At that <i>second</i><i>–</i><i>hand </i><i>store</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>examined </i><i>the </i><i>list </i><i>over </i><i>and </i><i>over </i><i>again</i>.
<i>Every </i><i>single </i><i>item </i><i>I </i><i>had </i><i>given </i><i>Lily </i><i>over </i><i>the </i><i>years</i>, <i>even </i><i>a </i><i>pair </i><i>of </i><i>inconspicuous </i><i>silver </i><i>earrings</i>, <i>had </i><i>been </i><i>sold </i><i>by </i><i>her</i><i>. </i>But <i>that </i>list did <i>not </i><i>include </i><i>the </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets</i>.
<i>If </i><i>she </i><i>truly </i>didn’t want <i>the </i><i>silver </i><i>bracelets</i>, she <i>would </i><i>have </i><i>sold </i><i>them </i><i>as </i><i>well</i><i>. </i><i>Why </i><i>throw </i><i>them </i><i>away</i>? After thinking this through, he stopped arguing with her and instead held her hand more tightly, speaking in a deep voice, “Stop deliberately trying to upset me. I know you’re making a fuss this time to make me take the initiative <i>to </i>bow down. I can’t live without you. Lily, I’m willing to bow down. Let’s stop arguing and fighting. Don’t run away from home anymore. Can we just live a good life together?”
Lily was about to say no when his phone rang abruptly.
He and Lily hadn’t yet resolved their issues and untied the knots in their hearts<b>. </b>At a time like this, he

However, seeing that the call was from Elsa, he feared she might have an emergency and answered the phone.
“Lizzy, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”
“John….”
Elsa’s voice was tinged with a noticeable sob, helpless and pitiful.
“There’s thunder outside, and I’m really scared……”
Hearing Elsa’s voice, John instinctively nced at the windows at the end of the corridor.
Without realizing it, it had started raining heavily outside.
A sh of lightning streaked across the window, apanied by howling north winds and peals of thunder.
Looking at the windows illuminated by the lightning, he couldn’t help but recall the night before when Elsa had nestled in his arms, trembling and vulnerable amidst the thunderstorm.
A sense of worry naturally arose in his heart.
“Ah!
In <i>that </i>moment of distraction, he heard Elsa’s panicked scream again, “Why did the power suddenly go out? It’s so dark, so cold, I’m so scared……John, what should I do?”
Elsa’s voice grew more frantic and gradually became incoherent with crying.
The proud and aloof cold rose had never been this vulnerable before, and John felt particrly uneasy.
Elsa was already critically ill and on herst legs; he certainly didn’t want her to endure such helplessness and panic.
He instinctivelyforted her, “Lizzy, don’t be afraid. I’ming right over. Lily, there’s thunder outside.. Lizzy is particrly afraid of thunder, and I need to go to her ce.”
He quickly ced the pink diamond ne and the ruby earrings in her hand. “I’ll find back everything you sold. Don’t throw these tantrums anymore; it’s pointless. I’lle by tomorrow night to pick you up, and we’ll go home together!”
With that, he strode towards the elevator with his long, straight legs.
<i>Ha</i><i>! </i>
How interesting!
He had just <i>said </i><i>he </i>couldn’t live without <i>me</i><i>, </i><i>but </i><i>as </i><i>soon </i><i>as </i><i>Elsa </i><i>expressed </i><i>her </i><i>fear</i><i>, </i>he <i>rushed </i><i>over </i><i>to </i><i>embrace </i><i>and </ifort <i>her</i>. How deep his love <i>for </i><i>me </i><i>was</i><i>! </i>
Since they had broken up, Lily definitely wouldn’t want the ne and earrings anymore,

She quickly stepped forward and stuffed the carrings and ne into his pocket.

Ex–boyfriend and ex–girlfriend don’t need to give each other things. John, really stop annoying me!”
With that, she turned around and quickly entered her room, locking the door behind her.
Hearing the heavy door m, clutching the ne and earrings in his pocket, John’s face turned as ugly as if someone owed him billions.
He didn’t want her to return the earrings and ne to him.
He also didn’t like women who kept making a fuss.
He wanted to chase after her and give her back the earrings and ne, but thinking that if he continued to waste time, Elsa would suffer more fear, so he decided to give her the items tomorrow night.
The elevator soon arrived at this floor.
