He is Lovestruck in the Revenge by Gu Nanxi

Chapter 285: 278: Changling self-harms, Xie Shang notices Chapter 285: 278: Changling self-harms, Xie Shang notices Wen Changling slept until eleven o’clock, just in time for Granny Zhu’s soup to be ready. She drank soup in the yard while Xie Shang brought over a medical kit, applied some medicine on her, and changed her Band-Aid.

“It’s the weekend today, let’s go out and watch a movie,” she suggested.

“Okay.”

The afternoon movie was chosen by Wen Changling. She didn’t look at online reviews but selected it based on the poster. The movie had a sad ending. The general died in battle, his wife perished together with the enemy troops, and their home and country were destroyed, never to be restored.

When they left the cinema, it was already dark.

The car was at a traffic light junction, intending to go straight, when Wen Changling said, “Let’s go to the lakeside. I want to feel the night breeze.”

Baiyang Lake was just to the right of the junction.

“Aren’t you hungry?”

“Not hungry.”

Xie Shang drove the car to the lakeside.

Baiyang Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in the empire. It is currently the dry season, with no boats on the water, yet the wind is still strong. Many trees are planted along the lake, adorned with colorful string lights.

In recent years, the area around Baiyang Lake has changed significantly. Lake-view houses have sprung up one after another, surrounding the lake. The spot where the car stopped offered views of every corner of the residential areas, with their lights and smoke, each with its own beauty.

Wen Changling rolled down the car window and the wind brought noises inside. The quiet cabin began to get noisy, and she heard the cries of vendors from a snack stall in the distance.

After feeling the night wind for a while, she suddenly asked Xie Shang, “If I die first, how long would it take for you to forget me?”

The question was rather pessimistic, perhaps influenced by the movie.
