Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Amid the hustle and bustle of modern society, Xiao Yi's life is entangled in the tangle of past and present. Born a thousand years ago, he accidentally traveled to the present, and the appearance of Li Wenjia undoubtedly adds a complex note to his modern life.

Li Wenjia is a beautiful and confident woman. She met Xiao Yi by chance and was captivated by his unique aura. His presence, shrouded in a calmness and depth that transcended modernity, seemed to hold endless stories. However, within Xiao Yi's heart, an unbridgeable chasm remained: a thousand years of time and a yearning for the past.

That day, sunlight filtered through dappled leaves onto a streetside café table. Li Wenjia, dressed meticulously, arranged to meet Xiao Yi there. Her eyes were filled with anticipation, and her heartbeat was unwittingly quickening. Today, she had decided to confess her love to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi arrived for the appointment, dressed in a simple white shirt. His black hair shone softly in the sunlight, but his eyes held a distant look.

Li Wenjia took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Xiao Yi, I have liked you for a long time. From the first time we met, your figure has been imprinted in my heart. You are different from all the men I know. You have a unique charm that makes me approach you involuntarily. I want to be with you and share the joys and sorrows of life. Can you give me a chance?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her hands were nervously twisted together.

Xiao Yi looked at her quietly, a trace of guilt welling up in his heart, but he was clear about his feelings. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke: "Li Wenjia, you are a very good girl, beautiful, kind, and passionate. You deserve a wholehearted love, but that person is not me." His voice was calm, but with unquestionable determination.

Li Wenjia's smile froze instantly. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Why? Is there something wrong with me?" Tears welled in her eyes as she tried to find a glimmer of hope.

Xiao Yi shook his head gently, his gaze gazing into the distance, as if he'd traveled through time and space to see a scene from a thousand years ago. "It's not your fault, it's my own. My heart has long been lost in a thousand years ago, in that familiar era, with people I can't forget and emotions I can't let go of. My arrival in this era is merely a trick of fate; I'm always just a passing stranger." His eyes revealed a deep longing and melancholy.

Li Wenjia tried to persuade: "The past is the past, we can create new memories, why can't you let it go and give me and yourself a chance?" There was a hint of pleading in her voice.

Xiao Yi turned his head and looked at her, his eyes a little more gentle. "You don't understand. That kind of emotion is like it's engraved deep in the soul. It's not something you can just let go of. I try hard to live in this era, but there's always a part of me that's dormant, waiting for the moment to return to the past. I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to delay you. You should go find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

Li Wenjia's tears rolled down her cheeks, and she felt a pang of heartache. She knew that once Xiao Yi made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. But she still refused to give in. "Don't tell me there's no chance at all? We can get along slowly, maybe time will change your mind."

Xiao Yi sighed, "Time cannot change my heart, it can only make me more aware of my emotions. I don't want you to waste your time on me. You have a bright future. Don't miss more scenery because of me." Although his words were gentle, they were like a sharp blade that pierced Li Wenjia's heart.

Li Wenjia's body trembled slightly, and she tried hard to control her emotions, "Then why do you still appear in my life? Why do you give me hope?" Her voice was filled with a hint of anger.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly. "I never thought of giving you hope. I just regarded you as a friend. I thought you could understand my attitude. It was my inappropriate handling that caused you to misunderstand. I'm very sorry."

Li Wenjia smiled bitterly, tears streaming down her face. "Friends? It turns out I was just wishful thinking." She felt like her world had collapsed, and all her fantasies and expectations had turned into nothing.

Xiao Yi felt very sad when he saw her in pain, but he knew that a short pain is worse than a long one. "I'm sorry, Li Wenjia. I hope you can get over this as soon as possible and find someone who truly loves you."

Li Wenjia slowly stood up. She looked at Xiao Yi with determination in her eyes, "Okay, I understand. I will leave you and never bother you again. I hope you can find the thousand-year-old love in your heart." After saying that, she turned around and left quickly. Her back looked particularly lonely in the sunlight.

Xiao Yi watched her retreating figure and sighed softly. He knew he had rejected a true love, but he couldn't go against his heart. In this modern world, he was still that lonely time traveler, waiting for fate to decide. Perhaps one day, he would find a way to return a thousand years ago, to the place where he truly belonged, to the person he missed.
