Ordinary Road 2010

"I'm not a philosopher, nor a little girl with a lot of romantic imaginations. I can't give any metaphysical explanations or beautiful manifestations."

"I asked myself, if the girl didn't exist when we met, did we already have together?"

"Yes, without a doubt."

"I thought that was the end of it, it was just a clichéd meet-and-greet story."

"These three years in Vancouver have been an unprecedented period in my life, and it may be hard for outsiders to believe that I have gained a lot of peace from it."

"I have received condolences, support, and help from many people. Han Xue stayed with me the whole time, and my family treated me in every possible way."

"But I realized that the biggest moral support comes from you."

"I entrusted Muse to you. We talk on the phone every day, talking about work and life. One day after tomorrow, I suddenly figured it out."

"Love is companionship."

"This discovery made me suddenly enlightened, and I understood a lot of things that confused me."

"I admit that you are right. I have been in love with you since a long time ago, Lin Yi."

There was a kind of gentleness on the face of the senior sister that he had never seen before, but Lin Yi didn't feel relieved because of this, but had a premonition instead.

"However, this is not you, nor me. We can wantonly hurt other people."

"Lin Yi, you are very clear that doing this will only cause the three of you to fall into embarrassment, grievance and pain at the same time. If you can feel at ease about this, you won't leave it until today."

"I'm gratified to see your heart."

"I am grateful for that, but please forgive me for not accepting it."

"Lin Yi, you will not lose me. I have never doubted that our support for each other has long been beyond what the outside world can understand and define as partner, partner, and comrade-in-arms. All of these can represent meanings."

"But there are still boundaries between us, and we should and must abide by our respective expectations in order to get along for a long time."

It should be said that this result was expected.

Lin Yi knew exactly what kind of person Senior Sister was, and he was unwilling to do so, so he chose such a time to give it a try.

Surprisingly, Lin Yi didn't feel any great loss or embarrassment.

It must be said that it is probably a kind of regret.

At the same time, he felt an indescribable relief and relief in his heart, as if a person who was about to suffocate breathed fresh air again.

Although he didn't say a word, the senior sister still felt the change in him.

"There is another reason, Lin Yi."

"I watched you grow from a young boy who just entered school to a tycoon that the world is looking at today."

"I've been a part of many of the stories about you."

"I know how many ups and downs there are in it, we have all changed, but I remember the persistence I once had."

"I reminded you before, don't forget your original intention."

"I still think that the most precious thing we get is not the wealth, the power, the fame, the enviable life that we enjoy today."

"It's us."

"Everything we have experienced has created the two people we have become today. When we change the world, we should not forget the people we protect."

"Lin Yi, it's hard for me to tell when my feelings for you started."

"But I think, if we really recklessly indulge the domination of desire, violate our own conscience, and throw ourselves into each other's arms for the momentary warmth."

"If those two young people saw it at the beginning, they should have been very disappointed."

"So I won't be that kind of person, and I won't allow you to be that kind of person. This is not my restraint, but just out of my love for you."

"Lin Yi, you are already amazing."

"If you cherish this, please continue to be an even greater person."

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

He often gets encouragement from his seniors, but today can indeed be called the most special one.

Among all the expectations that the senior sister had for him, this may not be the most lofty one, but it must be the most difficult to refuse.

"Senior sister, I have repeatedly thanked you for your support."

"This is not just a work cooperation. I have never regarded you as a real subordinate. If that was the case, your efforts could have been rewarded more generously."

"I used to think that my selfishness was to have feelings for you. I always knew it, but I just didn't want to admit this ulterior purpose."

"Today you convinced me that this kind of support can go beyond the love between men and women and reach a more selfless and pure state."

"You always correct your inner world that is almost off track at the most suitable time and in the most acceptable way for me."

"For a person who has set a lofty ambition and decided to go a long way, this is invaluable."

"I am sincerely grateful that I chose you instead of others, and that you gave me this honor to accompany me through this journey."

"Walking with you is the most correct decision in my life."

Chapter 671 The Secret

"How did you come up here?"

Gu Caiwei was very surprised by Lin Yi's whim. Although both of them are wearing masks now, it would be quite troublesome if they were recognized on the street.

"Don't worry, no one will care."

Gu Caiwei looked around, and it was true that the people coming and going were like this, so their attire was not conspicuous.

The two of them are now in the old city by the West Lake, near Liulang Wenying. The street trees on both sides of the road are old at first glance, and they are more full of the original charm of the city than the new city with high-rise buildings in the distance.

"Why do you want to come to Ann?"

"Didn't you say that you miss that we can walk freely in the sun together?"

Strictly speaking, this answer is a bit irrelevant, but Gu Caiwei didn't care about it, so let's just treat it as Lin Yi fulfilling his wish for himself.

Her mood jumped up a little bit, and after she felt a sense of participation, she found that Lin Yi was leading her through the streets and alleys, and after turning around, she arrived in front of an antique building.

"Remember this place?"

"I'm not illiterate, isn't it written Lin'an Confucius Temple?"

Gu Caiwei complained mercilessly, although she came here once, it was a long time ago after all, and it is really hard to tell from the surrounding environment.

She calculated silently in her heart, it was incredible.

"So it's been ten years since we celebrated our coming-of-age ceremony here!"

"Yes."

Lin Yi did not bury her hindsight, and in the curiosity of Gu Caiwei, took her to revisit her hometown.

There are many ginkgo trees planted inside and outside this place, and it is not well-known and there are few tourists. Compared with Wushan and West Lake not far away, it can be called a quiet place in the middle of the bustle, which is very characteristic among the niche attractions.

The season for them to come is just right, and the scenery is superb. In the past two years, Lin Yi's photography skills have improved, so Gu Caiwei allowed him to leave a few souvenirs for himself.

Lin Yi really seemed to be here to play, he walked around leisurely, and finally turned around the Dacheng Hall and found a row of big mahogany frames next to it.

"Do you remember this?"

Gu Caiwei didn't answer, and the long-lost memory began to wake up. It seemed that there were still doubts here, and she looked very excited.

"What is your wish to write here?"

"Tell me about yourself first."

"Hmm...don't remember, but if I see it, I should be able to remember it."

"Then let's play a game, find out the wishing cards we hung up at the beginning, and then exchange secrets with each other."

To be honest, the wishing cards hanging on this shelf probably cost thousands of dollars, and so many students were sent away one after another, I don’t know if the ones from ten years ago are still there.

Even if I can find it, I don't know how long it will take.

But they were not in a hurry, Gu Caiwei showed great interest, and immediately started to search.

From another direction, Lin Yi unhurriedly opened one by one, and then gradually converged towards the side where Gu Caiwei was.

Gu Caiwei turned quickly at first, but it didn't take long before she realized that she was in a daze, and she couldn't find her own brand all the way.

She didn't believe in evil, so she looked for it here again, and after almost walking back and forth, there was finally a cheer of victory.

"I found it!"

I don't know how long it took, but Gu Caiwei was also very focused. When she came back to her senses happily, she found that Lin Yi had already been standing beside her, looking at her narrowly.

"Did you find it so quickly, wouldn't it be cheating?"

"Student Gu Caiwei, you should have more trust in me."

She had a vague feeling just now that everything today seemed to be arranged by Lin Yi, but after thinking about it, she didn't intend to get entangled.

"Okay, let's exchange and see."

This time Lin Yi didn't make any fuss, he honestly handed over the wishing card in his hand, and then took the one from Gu Caiwei.

Lin Yi is very familiar with her handwriting, it says:

"Go to university in the capital with Lin Yi!"

As expected, the past and bits and pieces from a long time ago resurfaced before her eyes, and Lin Yi could almost see her shy girlish demeanor when she wrote this line.

Of course Gu Caiwei also looked at him, and then felt very puzzled, and found that there was a smile of reminiscence in Lin Yi's eyes, so she poked her head over and explained:

"Unfortunately it didn't happen."

If it was the original Gu Caiwei, she would have hidden it after being discovered, and she was a little embarrassed.

It seems that I broke my promise.

But after all, it happened so long ago, not to mention that time has passed and she and Lin Yi came back here again, so of course they won't be entangled in the past.

Gu Caiwei quickly put it behind her, and instead asked: "What do you mean by this?"

Lin accepted the wishing card that was very precious to him, and then responded to the one he handed to Gu Caiwei just now.

It read: "No regrets in this life."

"literal meaning."

Gu Caiwei gave him a hammer as punishment for not answering the question properly.

"Do you have any regrets in your previous life?"

"some."

Lin Yi took out a photo from his pocket, "Do you remember this one?"

Of course Gu Caiwei remembers, although it will inevitably look old because of too much time, but it is still clearly identifiable, and it must be cherished very much.

"This is what Old Xiong took for the two of us with a Polaroid camera that day. I haven't seen you take it out. I thought you lost it?"

Lin Yi shook his head resolutely.

"How could I lose it? The wish I made at the time was, this beautiful girl, I will definitely not lose her this time."

Gu Caiwei felt that this confession was a bit blunt, but she still accepted it reluctantly, and she was in a good mood.

"I said that I can't leave regrets in this life, and my biggest regrets are all about you. So Xiaowei, in order to fulfill my wish and not make the boy's expectations come to nothing, are you willing to be my bride?"

Gu Caiwei did not expect that Lin Yi would suddenly fast forward to this step.

Is this...a marriage proposal?

She just widened her eyes in surprise, and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Fortunately, she blinked twice in disbelief, indicating that she was not completely petrified.

Lin Yixin thought that the effect didn't look very good. Sure enough, there should be a grand marriage proposal scene, and a dazzling big diamond ring can also be arranged.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to spend the money, it was just that he didn't want to make it so vulgar.

But it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work once, there will be another time. Actually, based on the relationship between the two of them, it should be a matter of course. Lin Yi doesn't mind taking it as a kind of fun.

Just when he was about to make persistent efforts, classmate Gu Caiwei finally came to her senses. She grabbed the wishing card that Lin Yi left ten years ago.

Although only her eyes could be seen, they were full of joy and affection, like sparks of spirit.

"Don't regret it."
