In Elena Lake.
The breeze was blowing, and willows were swaying. The lake rippled, and the light was shining on it.
A locust tree was reflected on the lake in the southeast corner, and a slim figure stood under the tree.
Emma had been standing there for half an hour. Looking at the lonely figure beside the lake, her eyes were still wet after breaking up with Harrison for a month.
Elena Lake was the place where she and Harrison met for the first time. Under this locust tree, they fell in love at the first sight.
Harrison's behavior extraordinary, elegant and gentle. He was the lover of Emma's dream.
Not long after, the two of them expressed their feelings to each other and were naturally together.
Elena Lake became their date place. They had agreed to come to Elena Lake every month today to have a rest, relax and chat. In short, they would take off their tiredness and forget the troubles caused by life.
On the 1st anniversary of their love, Harrison bought a pair of rings, put them on the necklaces and wore them around their neck.
Harrison said that he would propose to Emma with this pair of rings after she graduated.
Emma was overjoyed with tears in her eyes.
The two of them had worked together. He wanted to be a shining star and become famous all over the country. She wanted to be a famous director and make a real touching movie.
No matter how long it took, they would support each other forever, and never separate.
In just two years, everything had changed.
Men's vows were like chocolate colored shit. They looked pleasant on the surface, but in fact, they were particularly disgusting.
Emma took out the ring and gently rubbed it on her hand. There was a faint temperature.
The ring had always been placed closest to her heart, so it was so warm.
The ring reflected a little light in the dim light at night, which was dazzling and ironic to Emma.
"I guess only I keep you." Emma took off the necklace with the ring on it and said, "But I don't want you now."
Emma held the necklace in her hand and was about to throw it into the lake to bury her love.
When she raised her hand, she hesitated.
This was her love.
Harrison made her happy when she saw him, and gave her the vision of getting married with him and they would love each other forever.
In the end, the joy was in vain.
Harrison let her know that love was just an extravagant hope, and people's hearts were sinister in the end. Her silent sacrifice was not comparable to the temptation of a body.
Tears welled up in Emma's eyes. She clenched the ring in her hands, but finally she didn't have the heart to throw it out.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Footsteps came from behind.
Emma thought there was a passer-by and didn't want others to see her embarrassment, so she raised her hand to wipe her tears.
The southeast corner of Elena Lake was a romantic place, and there were often many people coming.
"Emma, you are really here."
A woman's sardonic voice came from behind Emma.
She turned around and found it was Adela.
"Emma, you still can't forget Harrison." Adela got closed to her, "But you are right. Harrison is such an excellent man. How could he not be liked? But don't forget that he is my fiance now. Don't covet something that doesn't belong to you."
It was not the first time for Adela to declare her sovereignty in front of Emma. Emma had thought to put up with her in the past, but she couldn't stand it anymore now.
"Miss Adela, you don't have to be too proud. An Auntie taught me to donate things I don't want to use to people who need more than me." The aunt mentioned by Emma referred to James' mother, Angela.
Emma remembered what Angela said to her in the hospital.
Emma used to think that what Angela said was reasonable, but now Emma felt that it was true.
"What do you mean?" Standing next to Emma, Adela didn't understand what she meant but still looked domineering.
Coincidentally, Harrison came over and asked, "Adela, why are you here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Emma's back froze and her face turned pale.
She and Harrison hadn't seen each other for a month.
Emma only heard him from others in the crew occasionally. After all, he was an actor, a popular star supported by Adela.
Before Adela finished her words and slapped on Emma's face, Harrison rushed over, grabbed Emma's arm and scolded, "Emma, behave yourself! How can you say such insulting words? "
Harrison held Adela in his arms, pulled her hand down, turned around and left with Adela.
Because Harrison pulled Emma with strength, Emma staggered backward due to her unsteady center of gravity.
'Insult?'
Emma's heart ached.
'This is an insult. Then you have insulted me a lot!'
The ring in Emma's hand was accidentally thrown out and fell into the lake. Emma screamed, "No..."
Emma could have steadied herself and watched the most important thing to fall into the lake. She hadn't been careful for a while so that she tripped over another stone.
It was exactly when James heard the scream that he rushed over when he was looking for Emma nearby. Seeing that Emma almost fell backwards, he rushed over and hugged her.
But time was running out.
He lost his balance and fell down himself.
Bang...
Emma fell on him.
"Emma, are you okay?" Emma was so light that she fell on his strong body. She was just fine. James was just worried about whether Emma was hurt or not.
Emma's eyes were slightly red. She got up anxiously and went to the fence by the lake, not caring who saved her.
"The ring, my ring, my ring..."
That was her ring!
It was her love.
It really fell down.
Emma was so anxious that she almost cried out. She was about to jump into the lake.
She had to find it back.
