The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

The afternoon sun is like a soft veil, slowly and obliquely sprinkled on the old but unique wooden floor of the bookstore. The light spots are jumping, like naughty elves playing. The air is filled with a faint scent of ink, mixed with the unique breath of old paper, which makes people's hearts calm down involuntarily.

Lin Xiao walked lightly between the rows of tall bookshelves. Her eyes were focused and smart, and her clear eyes reflected the neatly arranged books. Her focused expression seemed as if she was exploring the most precious treasure in the world.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch a beautifully covered poetry collection, a figure so familiar that her heartbeat instantly accelerated suddenly entered her sight without warning. It was Su Yang! He was standing not far from her, his figure as tall as a pine tree. The afternoon sun shone through the window, onto his hair and shoulders, giving him a warm golden edge.

Su Yang was concentrating on reading a thick historical book. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed concentration and thought, as if he was completely immersed in the ancient history.

Lin Xiao's heart suddenly jumped, and the strong beating seemed to burst out of her chest. For a moment, all the memories of the past surged in her heart like a surging tide. The happy times and warm moments they had spent together, as well as the affectionate words that had never been said, all emerged in her mind one by one, as clear as if they had just happened.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner waves, then mustered up her courage and walked towards Su Yang step by step. Every step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, her heartbeat became more and more intense, and tension and anticipation intertwined.

Finally, she came to Su Yang's side, raised her hand, and patted his shoulder gently.

Su Yang was startled for a moment, then raised his head. When his eyes met Lin Xiao's, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, and that surprise was like a meteor that flashed across the night sky, brilliant and short-lived. Then, that surprise quickly turned into a warm smile, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, brilliant and moving.

"What a coincidence, meeting you here." Lin Xiao was the first to break the brief silence, her voice soft and with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness. The nervousness was like the strings of a guitar trembling gently in the breeze, shivering slightly.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." Su Yang closed the book in his hand and gently put it back on the bookshelf. His eyes stayed on Lin Xiao's face, with surprise and joy in his eyes. The surprise was like a child finding a long-awaited gift on Christmas morning, and the joy was like the first rain on the long-dry land.

The two smiled at each other, and that smile contained too many complicated emotions. There was the joy of reunion, the nostalgia for the past, and the expectation and confusion for the future. This smile seemed to freeze time, and everything around them became unimportant.

"How have you been recently?" Su Yang was the first to break the brief silence. His voice was low and magnetic, like the melodious sound of a cello flowing slowly in the air.

Lin Xiao raised her head slightly, her eyes meeting his concerned look. She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Not bad, but I often think of the past. How about you?" Her voice was as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples.

Su Yang sighed softly, and his eyes became a little deep, as if there were endless stories hidden in those deep eyes. "It's busy and fulfilling, but I always feel like there's something missing in my heart." There was a hint of loneliness in his voice, which was like the fallen leaves in late autumn, drifting alone in the wind.

Lin Xiao's heart tightened slightly. She could feel the helplessness and loss in Su Yang's words. She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Su Yang's fiery gaze, and said softly, "I can understand that feeling."

The bookstore was extremely quiet, with only their gentle conversation echoing in the air. The sound was like soft notes, weaving a moving melody.

"Do you remember the time we spent together in this bookstore?" Lin Xiao raised his head and glanced at the familiar bookshelves and corners around him, with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

Su Yang nodded, his lips slightly raised, "Of course I remember, we were carefree at that time, and we were only immersed in the world of books."

"Time flies so fast. Everything seems to have changed, yet nothing seems to have changed." Lin Xiao said with emotion, gently stroking the poetry collection in his hand.

Su Yang was silent for a moment, then said: "Perhaps what has changed is our experience and state of mind, but what remains unchanged is our love for books and those beautiful memories we once had."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "Yes, those memories are so precious, they have always been hidden deep in my heart."

Their conversation gradually deepened, from past memories to current life, from favorite books to visions for the future. Each topic was like a key that opened the long-closed door in each other's hearts.

"I recently read a very touching novel, which gave me new insights into life." Lin Xiao enthusiastically shared his reading experience.

Su Yang listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time to show his approval, "It sounds good, can you tell me the details?"

Lin Xiao began to describe the plot of the novel and his own feelings in detail. Su Yang listened attentively and raised his own opinions and questions from time to time. Their communication was like a feast of ideas, which greatly satisfied each other's hearts.

Unconsciously, time slipped away in their conversation. The sun outside the window gradually set, stretching their figures into long and slender shapes.

"It's getting late, why don't we go have a cup of coffee and continue chatting?" Su Yang looked at the sky outside the window and suggested.

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay."

They walked out of the bookstore and walked side by side on the street filled with the afterglow of the sunset. The breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing a hint of coolness.

Arriving at a nearby coffee shop, they chose a seat by the window. The soft lighting and soothing music created a warm and romantic atmosphere.

"In the past few years, I have been working hard to realize my dream." Su Yang said slowly while stirring the coffee in front of him.

Lin Xiao held the cup in both hands and said with a smile: "I believe you can do it. You have always been excellent."

Su Yang raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao affectionately, "In fact, I have often thought of you over the years. I wonder if you are doing well."

Lin Xiao's face flushed, "I will also think of you and every little thing we had together."

The aroma of coffee filled the air, and their words became more and more intimate. The emotions that were once hidden in their hearts gradually surfaced at this moment.

"Lin Xiao, I want to ask you a question." Su Yang suddenly became a little serious.

Lin Xiao raised his head with doubt in his eyes, "What's the problem?"

"Over the years, have you ever... ever thought that we would meet again and have a chance to sit together and chat?" Su Yang's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I've thought about it, countless times."

Su Yang showed a bright smile on his face. He reached out and gently held Lin Xiao's hand. "Then let's not miss it again, okay?"

Tears flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. She nodded, "Okay."

When they came out of the coffee shop, night had already fallen, and the stars lit up the road ahead.

"The starry sky is so beautiful tonight." Lin Xiao looked up at the sky and exclaimed.

"Just like our future, it is full of infinite possibilities." Su Yang held Lin Xiao's hand tightly and said.

Their figures gradually faded away in the moonlight, but their story had just begun...

In the following days, Lin Xiao and Su Yang contacted each other more and more frequently. They went to the movies, went shopping, and tasted delicious food together, as if to make up for the time they had missed in the past.

On a sunny weekend, Su Yang brought Lin Xiao to a small seaside town. The sea breeze blew gently, and the waves hit the beach, making a pleasant sound.

"I've always wanted to bring you here." Su Yang looked at Lin Xiao, his eyes full of tenderness.

Lin Xiao smiled, feeling the embrace of the sea breeze, "It's so beautiful here."

They walked along the beach, leaving behind a series of deep and shallow footprints.

"Lin Xiao, I hope we can keep going like this and never separate no matter what difficulties we encounter." Su Yang suddenly stopped and said seriously.

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with determination, "I believe we can do it."

As the sun sets, their figures look particularly beautiful in the golden afterglow.

However, life is not always smooth sailing. Lin Xiao encountered some troubles at work, and the pressure made her feel exhausted.

"Don't worry too much, everything will be fine." Su Yang was always by her side encouraging her.

Lin Xiao looked at him gratefully, "I feel safe with you here."

With Su Yang's support, Lin Xiao finally got through the difficult times.

As time went by, their feelings grew deeper and deeper. On a special day, Su Yang carefully prepared a romantic proposal.

Flowers, candlelight, music, everything was like a dream.

"Lin Xiao, will you marry me and let me accompany you for the rest of your life?" Su Yang knelt on one knee, holding the ring in his hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

Lin Xiao burst into tears and nodded, "I do!"

They hugged each other tightly, happy smiles blooming on their faces.
