Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

As Xiao Yi pursues Li Lingyuan, Su Yao remains by his side. She witnesses his loss and hope, his pain and perseverance, and gradually, a different feeling begins to grow in her heart.

At first, Su Yao's feelings for Xiao Yi were pure sympathy and curiosity. Seeing this man from ancient times struggling in modern society, she felt an urge to help him. However, as time passed and they spent more time together, Xiao Yi's refined demeanor, deep affection, and unyielding spirit in the face of adversity drew Su Yao to him like a magnet.

One day, Xiao Yi returned home after a tiring day of filming. He was exhausted, his eyes filled with longing and melancholy for Li Lingyuan. Seeing him like this, Su Yao felt heartbroken. She gently walked over to Xiao Yi, handed him a cup of steaming hot coffee, and said softly, "Xiao Yi, you've been tired all day. Have some coffee to refresh yourself." Her voice was gentle, her eyes filled with concern, and her fingers, intentionally or unintentionally, gently touched the back of Xiao Yi's hand.

Xiao Yi was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice Su Yao's subtle emotions. He took the coffee, forced a smile, and said, "Thank you, Su Yao. I'm grateful for having you by my side these days, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Su Yao blushed slightly and responded softly: "You don't have to be so polite, I'm willing to accompany you." After that, she sat down next to Xiao Yi, leaning slightly towards him, their shoulders almost touching. Xiao Yi seemed to notice something and moved slightly, but Su Yao pretended nothing happened and continued to chat with him.

At a friend's party, Su Yao dressed up meticulously. She wore a pale pink, off-the-shoulder dress that accentuated her figure. She walked into the party arm-in-arm with Xiao Yi, like a couple in love. Throughout the party, Su Yao kept a close eye on Xiao Yi's every move, offering him food and drinks, and often casting him affectionate glances.

When other friends invited Xiao Yi to dance, Su Yao felt jealous. She hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yi's hand and said coquettishly: "Xiao Yi, I feel a little uncomfortable. Please sit with me for a while." Xiao Yi didn't understand why and thought Su Yao was really unwell, so he stayed to accompany her. Su Yao was secretly delighted. She leaned on Xiao Yi's shoulder and whispered: "Xiao Yi, do you know? The time with you is always so wonderful." Xiao Yi just patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "You are my most important friend in this modern world, and I am very grateful to have you."

Unwilling to be just friends, Su Yao began looking for more opportunities to express her love. One evening, Xiao Yi was in his study, studying an ancient book on time travel, hoping to find clues to finding Li Lingyuan. Su Yao, wearing a light nightgown, entered the study carrying a plate of fruit. She placed the fruit on the table, then walked up behind Xiao Yi, gently placed her hands on his shoulders, and began to massage him tenderly.

"Xiao Yi, don't be too tired, take care of yourself." Su Yao's voice was soft and charming, and her breath gently brushed Xiao Yi's ears. Xiao Yi's body stiffened slightly, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Su Yao, no, I can do it myself." But Su Yao did not stop what she was doing. Instead, she moved closer to him and said: "Let me do something for you. You always take on so much alone."

At work, Su Yao also took every opportunity to get close to Xiao Yi. She volunteered to become Xiao Yi's agent's assistant so she could be by his side at all times. On the set, she meticulously took care of Xiao Yi's daily life, preparing everything he needed. During breaks, she would sit next to Xiao Yi and discuss the script and role with him, sometimes even making deliberately ambiguous remarks.

"Xiao Yi, you are always so affectionate when you act in love scenes. I can't help but be moved." Su Yao looked at Xiao Yi with love in her eyes. Xiao Yi just smiled, thinking she was joking, and responded: "That's because I'm thinking about the person in my heart." Su Yao felt a pang of pain when she heard this, but she quickly concealed her emotions and said: "I know you have been looking for her, but I also hope you can see that I am still around and care about you."

As time went by, Su Yao's ambiguous behavior became more and more obvious. On Xiao Yi's birthday, she would carefully prepare a romantic candlelight dinner for him, with the table filled with flowers and Xiao Yi's favorite food. During the dinner, she looked at Xiao Yi affectionately and said, "Xiao Yi, today is your birthday. I hope you can be happy. You are the most important person in the world to me." As she spoke, she gently held Xiao Yi's hand.

Xiao Yi pulled his hand back awkwardly and said, "Su Yao, you have done so much for me, I am very touched, but I already have Ling Yuan in my heart, I can't let her down." Tears welled up in Su Yao's eyes, and she choked and said, "I know your feelings for her, but I can't control my feelings. I just hope you can give me a chance to let me into your heart."

Xiao Yi looked at Su Yao crying, feeling a little reluctant. He sighed and said, "Su Yao, you are a good girl, but my heart has long been filled with Ling Yuan. I can only treat you as a good friend." Su Yao ran out sadly after hearing this. Xiao Yi looked at her leaving back, feeling helpless and guilty.

Despite Xiao Yi's rejection, Su Yao didn't give up. She felt that as long as she persisted, Xiao Yi would be moved by her feelings one day. She continued to accompany Xiao Yi silently, lending a hand without hesitation when he needed help, while also looking for the right time to express her love again. Xiao Yi, while holding on to his feelings for Li Lingyuan, was also trying to manage his relationship with Su Yao. He didn't want to hurt the girl who had always been by his side, but he couldn't reciprocate her feelings, and fell into a deep tangle.
