Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Xiao Yi watched Li Lingyuan's departing figure, his fists clenched, the fire of love in his heart burning more and more fiercely. He understood that behind Li Lingyuan's hesitation was her cherishment of love and her worry about the future, and he was willing to use his actions to dispel the haze in her heart.

Xiao Yi began learning traditional craftsmanship and personally crafted an exquisite crystal bracelet. Each crystal was carefully selected, its pure luster reflecting his unwavering love for Li Lingyuan. He attached a small silver bell to the bracelet, and whenever the breeze blew, the bell would emit a clear and melodious sound, as if expressing his longing. Xiao Yi brought the bracelet to Li Lingyuan's residence and placed it on the doorstep with a note: "Lingyuan, I made this bracelet for you personally. May it accompany you, just as I am by your side."

Li Lingyuan returned home and saw the bracelet at the door. She was deeply moved. She gently picked up the bracelet and slipped it on her wrist. The sound of the bell echoed in the silent room, each sound piercing her heart. She sat on the sofa, stroking the bracelet, and her mind flashed back to the image of Xiao Yi concentrating on making the bracelet. Tears welled up in her eyes.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yi meticulously planned a grand drone light show. Dozens of drones took off in unison under the city's night sky, their lights interweaving and shifting, gradually outlining Li Lingyuan's image, with the sweet words they had exchanged flickering beside them. The crowd on the ground gazed up at this magnificent spectacle, gasping in awe. Xiao Yi stood in the crowd, his gaze fixed on the image of Li Lingyuan, a composite of lights, his eyes filled with deep affection and anticipation.

Li Lingyuan watched the light show from a distant high-rise window. Her hand unconsciously covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock and emotion. She knew Xiao Yi must have put a great deal of effort into this show, simply to express his love for her. However, the fear within her still haunted her, preventing her from taking that step easily.

Later, Xiao Yi held an open-air art exhibition in a garden in the heart of the city. The paintings in the exhibition were all inspired by his memories of Li Lingyuan. From her smile in the sun to her melancholy in the rain, each painting was imbued with his full emotions. In the center of the exhibition, Xiao Yi placed a large message board filled with his love for Li Lingyuan and his hopes for the future. He invited everyone who visited the exhibition to write their blessings for their love on the board, hoping that these wishes would gather strength and give Li Lingyuan courage.

Li Lingyuan, upon hearing about the exhibition, hesitated for a moment before finally arriving at the garden. She wandered through the exhibition, looking at each painting, as if revisiting their love story. The images of herself in those paintings were so vivid, and she could sense Xiao Yi's unwavering love for her. When she saw the message board overflowing with well wishes, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

Xiao Yi spotted Li Lingyuan. He slowly walked over to her and whispered, "Lingyuan, these paintings are you in my heart, and these blessings are everyone's expectations for our love. Are you still willing to believe in me and our love?"

Li Lingyuan looked up at Xiao Yi's affectionate eyes, feeling a mixture of emotions. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Yi, I've seen everything you've done, and I'm very touched. But I'm still afraid. I need you to give me more time to overcome my fear."

Although Xiao Yi felt a little disappointed, he still nodded firmly: "Ling Yuan, I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes. I will always be here and prove my love with my actions."

Xiao Yi later rented an ancient theater and staged a shadow play performance exclusively for Li Lingyuan. He personally participated in writing the script, incorporating their love story into the performance, from their ancient encounter to their modern reunion and twists and turns. During the performance, Xiao Yi manipulated the puppets behind the scenes, his hands trembling slightly, a testament to his nervousness and anticipation. He hoped that through this ancient and charming art form, he would let Li Lingyuan see the uniqueness and preciousness of their love.

Li Lingyuan sat in the theater's auditorium, watching the shadow play unfold before her, as if she had traveled through time and space, reliving their love journey. She was deeply captivated and moved by Xiao Yi's dedication. But when the performance ended and the lights came on, she returned to reality, and fear and hesitation once again took hold.

Xiao Yi walked out from behind the scenes and came to Li Lingyuan. His forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were a little tired but more determined. "Lingyuan, this shadow play is like our love. Although it has gone through twists and turns, it is always fresh. Don't give up, okay?"

Li Lingyuan was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Xiao Yi, I know you have done too much for me, but I am really not ready yet. I don't want us to fall into pain again because of my impulsiveness."

Xiao Yi felt a deep thump in his heart as he watched her depart. But he didn't give up. He decided to continue demonstrating his unwavering devotion to Li Lingyuan in his own way, waiting for the day she would finally open her heart. He believed that as long as he persevered, their love would triumph over all fears and difficulties.
