Keeping the promise

The man in front of me had a face like a sculpture, with distinct features and an angular face that was extremely handsome. He looked unruly, with thick black hair and a pair of slender peach blossom eyes under his sword-like eyebrows, which made people fall in love with him at first sight.

The man seemed surprised as well, and a little delighted in his surprise. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile: "Long time no see, Xiaowan." His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying an irresistible charm.

Hearing this name again seems like a day ago, as if I have returned to those youthful days...

The man in front of her was her first love, Lu Zixuan. Their fate could be traced back to a long time ago, when he was a friend of Zheng Wancheng's cousin. Every time she went to her brother's house to play, she could always see him. And he seemed to take extra care of this lovely girl, always guarding her silently, like an older brother.

As time went by, the two became closer and closer, and gradually developed a special feeling. Although this feeling was hidden very deeply, their hearts had long been closely connected. Sometimes, when they looked into each other's eyes, the love in their eyes could not be concealed, and they secretly fell in love.

Later, due to the age gap and different school locations, they began a long-distance relationship.

This means that they can’t see each other as often as other couples and can only keep in touch through phone calls, text messages and video calls.

This distance makes each other feel lonely and helpless, but it also makes each other cherish every opportunity to get together more.

However, as time went on, some minor frictions arose between them.

Maybe it’s because of a lack of maturity or too high expectations that they start quarreling and are no longer as sweet and harmonious as before.

Although both of them knew that these problems could be solved, they did not find a suitable solution at that time. At this time, a person intervened in the emotional world of the two people.

That was his classmate, also a very outstanding girl. They attended classes and did experiments together, and gradually established a deep friendship.

Zheng Wancheng was busy with his studies and life in another city, and knew nothing about what was happening. Until one day, he told me that he felt very happy with that girl.

Zheng Wancheng felt heartbroken after hearing this, but he pretended to be calm and asked, "Would you like to relax together?"

Lu Zixuan was silent for a while, then said: "I don't know...Xiao Wan, wait for me for three years! I will graduate in three years, and we will end our long-distance relationship."

Since then, they have not contacted each other. They thought they would get their wish three years later, but there was still no news from Lu Zixuan. Just like that, they ended this once beautiful love story.

Now, seeing him again, the boy has lost his youthfulness and immaturity and has become more mature and stable, and she herself is no longer the innocent girl. Time flies, and everything has changed. Zheng Wancheng looked at the person in front of her with mixed feelings. She remembered the good times they had and the little things they had spent together. However, those days have long become the past, and she knows that they can never go back.

Thinking of this, Zheng Wancheng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. She shook her head gently, trying to erase those memories from her mind. Then, she raised her head, smiled and said to Lu Zixuan: "Long time no see, Lu Zixuan."

Lu Zixuan stared at the person in front of him, his eyes full of concern and longing. He asked softly, "Xiao Wan, how have you been these years?" There was a tremor in his voice, as if he was afraid of getting a bad answer.

Zheng Wancheng smiled slightly, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes, but she still replied calmly: "I'm doing well, thank you for your concern."

Lu Zixuan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He said slowly, "Time flies. Three years have passed just like that." His eyes stayed on Zheng Wancheng, trying to catch some changes in her expression.

Zheng Wancheng nodded slightly to show her agreement. Her eyes were a little dim, and she seemed to be recalling every detail of the past. However, she quickly regained her composure and said to Lu Zixuan with a smile, "Yes, time waits for no one."

Lu Zixuan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that there were too many barriers and misunderstandings between them. But he still hoped to regain the feelings they once had. He mustered up his courage and continued, "Xiao Wan, actually... I've been thinking about you."

Xiao Wan's expression changed slightly, and her eyes became a little confused. She didn't know how to respond to this topic, because she had thought of Lu Zixuan countless times.

After a moment's silence, Zheng Wancheng finally spoke slowly: "Zixuan, so many years have passed, we have all grown up, and many things have undergone earth-shaking changes. Now I am married and have a very good relationship with my husband." Her voice was low and calm, with a hint of imperceptible firmness.
