Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

When Li Lingyuan stumbled upon the time-travel book in that old bookstore, her heart was filled with ripples, unable to calm down for a long time. The similar plot in the book was like a mysterious key, gently touching some corner of her memory.

After returning to her beachside residence, her mind was filled with the contents of the book and every bit of what Xiao Yi had told her. Those blurry images flashed in her mind from time to time, and although they were still fragmented and incoherent, they were clearer than ever before.

With these thoughts lingering, Li Lingyuan decided to search again for the book she'd written about their time-traveling relationship that Xiao Yi had seen. Relying on a vague memory, she painstakingly searched for it in bookstores, libraries, and online bookstores. Her efforts paid off, and she finally found the slightly worn volume in a corner of a small, secondhand bookstore.

The moment her hands touched the book, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose. She couldn't wait to turn the pages, and the familiar words came into view. The scenes of her and Xiao Yi's meeting, getting to know each other, and falling in love in ancient times played out in her mind one by one like a movie.

She read about their first encounter at the palace. In that moment, she could almost see her younger self, dressed in gorgeous palace attire, accidentally meeting Xiao Yi's eyes, and the special feelings that welled up in her heart. And then there were the nights they secretly strolled through the imperial gardens, moonlight bathing them, flowers in full bloom all around them, Xiao Yi gently holding her hand and whispering sweet nothings in her ear. At that moment, her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.

As she read deeper, Li Lingyuan's eyes gradually moistened. She found herself beginning to recall forgotten details, like Xiao Yi's gentle gaze, or his selfless figure on the battlefield protecting her. These fragments of memory, like bright stars scattered in the darkness, were gradually picked up by her one by one.

However, the recovery of her memories was not complete and smooth. Every time she tried to piece together these fragmented fragments into a complete story, there were always some key parts missing, just like a puzzle. Although many pieces have been found, it is still difficult to restore the whole picture.

She remembered that they had experienced many difficulties and challenges together, but she could not clearly remember what they were. She knew that Xiao Yi had deep feelings for her, but she could only vaguely recall some of the important experiences behind this deep affection.

Despite this, Li Lingyuan still felt an unprecedented touch. She realized that she and Xiao Yi once had an incomparably precious and unforgettable love, a love that spanned a thousand years. Even though she had lost most of her memories, it still left a deep mark in her heart.

As memories and reality intertwine, Li Lingyuan finds herself caught in a deep internal conflict. On the one hand, she's overjoyed to have partially recovered her memories, as this allows her to rediscover the deep emotional bond between her and Xiao Yi. On the other hand, she feels lost and lost because she can't fully recall everything. She doesn't know how to face Xiao Yi, nor does she know if this fragmented memory is enough to support her reconnecting with that love.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi was still busy in the entertainment industry, trying to fill the void in his heart with work. But he never stopped paying attention to Li Lingyuan. He asked some friends to help keep an eye on Li Lingyuan. So when he learned that Li Lingyuan was searching for the book and seemed to have recovered some of his memories, he was filled with both anticipation and worry.

What she hopes for is that Li Lingyuan may be able to completely recover her memory through this book, so that they can return to the beautiful love they once had; what she worries about is that if the memory Li Lingyuan recovers is only a fragment, how will she view their relationship and will she choose to leave him again.

Xiao Yi decided not to wait passively, but to take the initiative. He put down some of the work he was doing and, following the clues provided by his friends, embarked on a journey to find Li Lingyuan.

He arrived at the seaside town where Li Lingyuan lived and walked along the winding coastline, asking about Li Lingyuan's residence from house to house. When he finally stood in front of the small house where Li Lingyuan lived, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt both nervous and excited.

He knocked gently on the door, and Li Lingyuan's slightly surprised voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?"

"Lingyuan, it's me, Xiao Yi." Xiao Yi's voice trembled slightly.

The door slowly opened, and Li Lingyuan appeared. She looked at Xiao Yi, who seemed familiar yet unfamiliar, with mixed feelings. She could feel her heartbeat quickening, and fragments of memories she had just recovered flashed through her mind.

"Xiao Yi, why are you here?" Li Lingyuan asked softly.

Xiao Yi looked at her, his eyes full of affection and concern: "I heard that you were reading that book and recovered some memories. I was very worried about you, so I came here. Lingyuan, how are you feeling now?"

Li Lingyuan lowered his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "I have indeed recovered some memories, but... I haven't remembered them all yet."

Xiao Yi's heart sank suddenly, but he quickly cheered up and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a good thing that you can recover some of it. We can take it slowly. I will always be by your side and help you regain all your memories."

Li Lingyuan raised her head and looked into Xiao Yi's sincere and determined eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She didn't know what the future would be like, nor did she know if she could fully recover her memory, but at this moment, she felt Xiao Yi's unwavering love for her, which gave her the courage to face the unknown.

So, in this seaside town, Xiao Yi once again entered Li Lingyuan's life. He continued to read the book with her, recalling the fragments that had already been remembered, and patiently waiting for her to discover more stories hidden deep in her memory. As they strolled along the coastline, Xiao Yi would point to the sea and say to Li Lingyuan, "Do you remember? In ancient times, we also saw a similar sea together. At that time, you said that you hoped our love could be like this sea, vast and boundless, never drying up."

Although Li Lingyuan couldn't remember it completely, she seemed to be able to see that blurry picture when she heard Xiao Yi's description. She smiled slightly and said, "Maybe there really was such a time."

With Xiao Yi by her side, Li Lingyuan felt a sense of security and warmth. She knew that regardless of whether her memories could be fully restored, this renewed connection had freed her from the uncertainty of her previous life. Xiao Yi also silently vowed that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, he would stay by Li Lingyuan's side until she regained all her memories and continued their love story that spanned millennia.
