Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Li Lingyuan felt the world spin. The scene before her instantly transformed from the carved beams and painted buildings of an ancient palace to the skyscrapers of a modern city. She stumbled a few steps, gazing blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, a mixture of emotions welling up in her heart.

The streets were bustling with traffic and pedestrians. The honking of car horns, the roar of engines, and the hum of conversation blended into a quintessentially modern, bustling scene. Standing on the street, Li Lingyuan, dressed in ornate ancient attire, her long hair flowing, drew glances of curiosity and surprise from passersby.

Her mind was still replaying the moments she had spent with Xiao Yi. Those sweet and warm memories seemed like yesterday, yet now they were abruptly separated by this cold modern city. Li Lingyuan subconsciously touched her waist. The jade pendant Xiao Yi had given her was nowhere to be found. A wave of loss and panic welled up in her heart.

"How did I suddenly end up back in the modern era? What should I do with Xiao Yi?" Li Lingyuan muttered to herself, tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't know why she had traveled through time again, nor did she know if she could ever return to Xiao Yi's side.

Under the strange gazes of passersby, Li Lingyuan was somewhat at a loss. She saw a clothing store on the street and hesitated for a moment before walking in. The waiter inside was stunned at her attire, then smiled professionally: "Miss, are you going to participate in a costume show? We have a lot of modern fashion here, would you like to take a look?"

Li Lingyuan shook her head and whispered, "I just want to change my clothes." She picked out a simple white dress and a pair of flat shoes and changed into them in the fitting room. Looking at herself in the mirror wearing modern clothes, she felt a little strange, but she had to accept this reality.

Leaving the clothing store, Li Lingyuan didn't know where to go. She wandered the streets, her heart filled with longing for Xiao Yi. Unconsciously, she arrived near the company where she once worked. Looking at the familiar office building, she recalled her past struggles in the workplace. Those busy and fulfilling days now seemed so distant.

She walked into a coffee shop across from her office and found a corner seat. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, and soft music drifted through the air. Li Lingyuan ordered a latte and stared blankly at the street scene outside the window. She saw her former colleagues hurried into the office building, and a strange sense of melancholy welled up in her heart.

"Lingyuan? Is it really you?" A surprised voice sounded in her ear. Li Lingyuan looked up and saw her good friend Xiaoyan. Xiaoyan looked at her in disbelief: "Where have you been these years? Everyone thought you were missing!"

Li Lingyuan didn't know how to explain it, so he just forced a smile and said, "I... I went to a very far place."

Xiaoyan sat down opposite her and looked at her carefully. "You look so different, like you've been through a lot. By the way, where's your boyfriend? Haven't you always been together?"

Hearing the word "boyfriend," Li Lingyuan felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew Xiaoyan was talking about her ex-boyfriend in modern times, and at this moment, she only missed Xiao Yi. "We broke up," Li Lingyuan said softly.

Xiaoyan sighed: "What a shame. But it doesn't matter, I'm glad you're back now. What are your plans next?"

Li Lingyuan shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet." She didn't know how to reintegrate into this modern society, nor did she know if she could still adapt to life here.

With Xiaoyan by her side, Li Lingyuan began to understand the changes in modern society over the past few years. She learned to use a smartphone, registered for social media accounts, and gained more information online. But in the quiet of the night, she would always think of Xiao Yi and recall the little things they had experienced in ancient times.

She often went to the library to look up historical records, hoping to find some information about that ancient dynasty, to see if there was any clue to her time travel, or a way to return to ancient times. She searched through the vast sea of ​​books, not missing any possible details, but her results were very limited.

One day, she stumbled upon a novel in the library about ancient time travel. Some of the plots in the book were somewhat similar to her own experiences. This ignited a glimmer of hope in her heart, and she began to follow the book's instructions, such as meditating at specific times and places and searching for mysterious symbols or objects. However, these attempts all ended in failure.

In modern life, Li Lingyuan made some new friends. They took her to various social events, such as watching movies, shopping, and attending parties. Li Lingyuan tried hard to fit in, but her heart could never truly immerse herself. She always seemed out of place in the crowd, as if she were a passerby from another world.

She also tried to find a new job. Drawing on the knowledge and skills she had accumulated about ancient times, she was hired by a cultural company, working on the research and dissemination of ancient culture. At work, she was able to leverage her expertise, presenting ancient cultural knowledge in a modern way, earning praise from colleagues and superiors. But even amidst her success, her heart still yearned for Xiao Yi, the ancient world she had fought for and shared with her beloved.

As time passed, Li Lingyuan gradually established herself in modern society. But her longing for Xiao Yi never faded. She knew there would always be a place in her heart for Xiao Yi, and no matter what era she lived in, this love would never fade. She continued to wait, waiting for that miracle that would allow her to travel through time and space again, return to Xiao Yi's side, and continue their love story that spanned millennia.

Li Lingyuan constantly struggles between memories and reality in modern life. She visits places where she and Xiao Yi once crossed paths in the modern world, trying to find some solace in those familiar scenes. At night, she wanders alone to the lakeside of the park, where she and Xiao Yi once walked together. Gazing at the moonlight reflected on the lake, she seems to see Xiao Yi again and hear his gentle words.

She also began to pay attention to archaeological discoveries and historical research, hoping to find clues related to her time travel experience. One day, she learned of the excavation of an ancient site, said to be from a similar period to the ancient dynasty she had traveled to. Li Lingyuan did not hesitate to visit the site. She carefully examined the unearthed artifacts, silently praying that she would find some clues. Even a small hope would rekindle her belief in returning to Xiao Yi's side.

Li Lingyuan's life in the modern world may seem peaceful, but her heart is filled with turmoil. While she strives to adapt to modern life, she never gives up her quest to travel back to ancient times. She knows that her love for Xiao Yi spans millennia, a love so deep and unforgettable that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles she encounters, she will do everything she can to return to him. In her heart, Xiao Yi is her entire world and the most important person in her life.
