Zhi Shui's POV

Progress. That's the only way I could describe this journey of finding myself and loving myself. Was I there, yet? No. Was I getting there, though? Definitely. It was hard, of course it was. But that was life for ya. There were days where I thought:

Wow, Zhi Shui. Keep going, you're doing amazing!

But there were also days where I thought:

Just stop. There's no point in it anyway. It won't lead to anything.

But I wasn't letting it get to me. I had to keep fighting. I wasn't going to give up. I was determined to save myself from the darkness. I always saw myself worse than I was. I often got compliments from other people. Whether it was at work or from strangers. But compliments meant nothing to me, because I just saw myself differently and I never understood what others saw in me.

Or Da Yu

Oh, Da Yu. Words could not describe my love and appreciation for that man. I loved him so damn much and I couldn't wait to become his husband. He gave me that extra push that I needed or else I would have completely given up by now.

He played a big part in this journey. I know, I shouldn't rely on other people when it comes to my own happiness and I don't. It's just... Da Yu was my world. He had seen me in my most vulnerable state that nobody has ever seen before. Not even me and that alone said a lot. I was certain he was an angel sent from above to watch over me. I was just so damn lucky to have him and wouldn't trade it for the world.

I also went to my therapist more frequently and I had to say, it helped a lot. I felt so relieved after every appointment. Like a huge weigh had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt a sense of understanding. I often laid in bed and looked back at my therapist appointments, her words lingering in my head.

When your opinion of yourself goes up then you'll stop trying to get so much validation and attention from other people. You become less needy and find an inner stability and strength even when your world might be negative or uncertain at times.

The increasing self-esteem and self-love also makes you feel more deserving of good things in life and so you'll self-sabotage less and go after what you deep down want with more motivation and focus than ever before.

And it was true. I was more than motivated to chase my dream of becoming a well known artist. I was a lot happier and actually thought I looked good at times. I wasn't the most confident person on earth, obviously, but I stopped beating myself up over the smallest things.

"Baby, what are you thinking about?" Da Yu suddenly said, causing me to jump.

"You scared me! And nothing in particular. I'm in the mood for ice cream, can we go buy some?" I said, wanting to change the topic.

Oh and that was another thing. I liked going out now. Before, Da Yu literally dragged me outside to get a bit of fresh air and now I was the one planning our date nights out. It was the small things that mattered to me. I was slowly getting there. I saw progress, I saw change.

"Anything for my baby. Let me just grab my keys and we are ready to go."

He intertwined our hands and we made our way to the store. We decided to walk, even though it was a bit chilly out.

"How about we visit Xia Yao and Yuan Zong later on? We haven't seen them in a while. Might give Peng Ze a call, too. But I'm pretty sure he won't want to be surrounded by couples." Da Yu rolled his eyes and I chuckled.

"Yeah, sounds good. Poor them, Xia Yao's mother didn't take their coming out so well."

"They are strong. They've been through a lot, too. I mean, Xia Yao wanted to have nothing to do with Yuan Zong, but Yuan Zong would not stop." I said.

"Thank god he didn't. I have a feeling they'll get married before us." I laughed and hit his shoulder lightly.

It was no secret that Yuan Zong was going to propose to Xia Yao eventually. He loved him way too much and it was just a matter of time until he popped the question.

"We need to continue planning our wedding, love. I want you to be my husband already." Da Yu kissed my forehead gently.

I blushed and hid my face in his shoulder. I couldn't wait to marry the love of my life.

"Me too..." I whispered, the thought seeming so surreal.

"It's a shame you can't get pregnant." My eyes widened and I gasped, hitting his arm.

"Da Yu! Stop, we are in public."

"And? Everybody can see my sex-eyes for you." I glared at him, but couldn't help the blush that was creeping on my cheeks.

"You're unbelievable." I rolled my eyes at him and walked ahead of him.

"You love it." He winked, slapping my butt. Since when did he become so daring?

"I love you." I just smiled and kissed the corner of his lips.

"And I love you, my beautiful angel."

"Okay, stop now. I really want ice cream." I giggled and pulled him into the store, before running off to the frozen section.

I couldn't decide on what flavor I wanted, so I grabbed 5 tubs of ice cream.

"Okay... are you sure you're not pregnant?"

"Da Yu!!!!"
