Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you
Chapter 140 Persistence
Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan were in a secluded seaside cottage, the roar of the waves seeming to sigh for their current predicament. Li Lingyuan's face was ashen, her eyes filled with fatigue and despair. She slowly packed her clothes, her movements mechanical and slow. Xiao Yi was beside him, his eyes red and veins bulging on his forehead. He rushed over and grabbed Li Lingyuan's hands as she was folding clothes. His voice was trembling and hoarse, "Lingyuan, you can't do this! We agreed to face this together!"
Li Lingyuan didn't look up, but tears fell on her clothes like beads from a broken string. She choked and said, "Xiao Yi, I can't take it anymore. The pressure of public opinion is like a mountain, it's about to crush me. Your future can't be ruined because of me. Let's break up, maybe then everything will calm down."
Xiao Yi forcefully ripped the clothes from Li Lingyuan's hands, gripped her shoulders tightly, and forced her to look directly at him. His eyes were filled with pain and deep affection: "Without you, what's the point of my future? From a thousand years ago to now, we've gone through so much hardship to be together. How can I give up so easily?"
Li Lingyuan broke free from Xiao Yi's hands, staggered back a few steps, and burst into tears: "But the situation is out of control now. Paparazzi are everywhere like ghosts, and those malicious speculations and insults are flooding the Internet. I don't want to be the target of public criticism, and I don't want to see you ruined because of me."
Xiao Yi slumped on the edge of the bed like a puppet that had lost its soul, holding his head in his hands, and murmured in pain: "Is our thousand-year fate going to dissipate under this worldly pressure?" His mind kept flashing through every detail of his time with Li Lingyuan, from their first meeting in ancient times to their reunion in modern times. Every scene pierced his heart like a knife.
Li Lingyuan dragged her luggage to the door, her hand on the doorknob, but she didn't have the strength to open it. She was struggling painfully in her heart, on the one hand, her deep love for Xiao Yi, and on the other hand, the unbearable external pressure.
Xiao Yi suddenly raised his head, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes. He rushed over and blocked Li Lingyuan's way again, "Lingyuan, give me one last chance, I will solve all this. I can leave the entertainment industry for a while, and we can find a quiet place to start over, away from the hustle and bustle." His voice was almost pleading, and his body was trembling slightly.
Li Lingyuan slowly raised her head, looking at Xiao Yi's haggard yet affectionate face. The ice in her heart began to soften a little. But when she thought of the surging public opinion outside, she hesitated again. "Xiao Yi, can we really hide? This is like a wild horse running wild, out of control."
Xiao Yi held Li Lingyuan's hand, placed it on his cheek, and said affectionately: "As long as we are together, there is nothing we can't overcome. Our love is stronger than anything in this world."
Just then, Xiao Yi's phone rang. It was his agent calling. Xiao Yi glanced at the phone, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. He turned off the phone and threw it on the sofa. "I don't care about that anymore, Lingyuan. You are the most important thing in my life."
Li Lingyuan was shocked by Xiao Yi's actions. She knew that Xiao Yi was giving up the foundation of his career that he had worked so hard for for her. Her tears burst out again, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. "Xiao Yi, is it worth it for you to do this?"
Xiao Yi gently embraced Li Lingyuan in his arms, holding her carefully as if she were a rare treasure. "For you, everything is worth it. Don't leave me, okay?"
Li Lingyuan was in Xiao Yi's arms, feeling his warmth and determination. She knew she could no longer bear to leave. But she also understood that they still had to face many difficulties. "Xiao Yi, what should we do next?"
Xiao Yi let go of Li Lingyuan and looked into her eyes, his gaze full of determination: "Let's leave here first and go to a place where no one knows us. I will contact some reliable friends and ask them to help deal with public opinion. I believe that as long as we stick together, one day, all of this will pass."
Li Lingyuan nodded slightly. She knew this was their only choice, the final battle for their love. Hand in hand, filled with confusion and hope for the future, they stepped out of the cabin and walked towards the unknown distance. Behind them was the endless hustle and bustle and pressure, but the love in their hearts was like a beacon in the darkness, guiding them forward.
