Love and choices across time and space

Ever since that chance encounter with Lin Wan'er's happy life, something in Li Yifeng's heart had been deeply touched. He returned home and sat on that simple chair, unable to calm down for a long time.

The night wind blew into the house through the dilapidated windows, bringing a hint of coolness. Li Yifeng looked out at the starry sky, his mind constantly reeling from Lin Wan'er's happy smile and the beautiful family around her. He knew he couldn't continue living in this muddleheaded way.

"I want to change, I want to start a new life!" Li Yifeng secretly made up his mind, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

The next morning, the sun shone on Li Yifeng's face. He got up early and began to tidy up his messy room. He washed and folded the piles of clothes, neatly arranged the scattered books on the bookshelf, and swept the floor clean.

"This is just the beginning." Li Yifeng said to himself as he looked at the brand new room.

He decided to start with his appearance. He took out his neat suit, which he hadn't worn for a long time. Although it was a little worn, it looked quite decent after being carefully ironed. He looked in the mirror, carefully combed his hair, shaved off his messy beard, and made himself look much more refreshed.

After leaving, Li Yifeng went straight to the library. He knew that if he wanted to start over, he had to enrich his knowledge and skills. In the library, he borrowed many books on marketing, interpersonal relationships, and self-improvement.

"Knowledge is power. I want to make up for the lost time." Li Yifeng held a thick book, found a quiet corner to sit down, and began to read carefully.

After returning home, he would spend several hours every day studying, taking notes, and pondering the principles in the book. Sometimes, he would even ponder a problem until late at night.

In addition to studying, Li Yifeng has also started to actively communicate with others. In the past, he was always solitary and self-contained. Now, he greets neighbors in the community, helps the elderly carry heavy objects, and plays with children.

"Uncle, you are so nice!" A child's praise made Li Yifeng feel warm in his heart.

He would also participate in some social activities, and although he would feel nervous and uncomfortable at first, he constantly encouraged himself and took every step bravely.

At a social event, Li Yifeng met a successful entrepreneur and he mustered up the courage to ask for advice.

"Young people, as long as you are determined to change, it is never too late." The entrepreneur's words gave Li Yifeng great encouragement.

To improve his professional skills, Li Yifeng signed up for various training courses. He worked during the day, attended classes at night, and did not rest on weekends.

During a training course, the teacher assigned a difficult assignment, and many students chose to give up. But Li Yifeng didn't. He stayed up all night to research, make a plan, and revise it repeatedly until he was satisfied.

"I can't be lazy anymore, I can't retreat anymore." Li Yifeng gritted his teeth and persisted.

His efforts were recognized by his teachers and classmates, and he also made some like-minded friends.

"Yifeng, everyone sees your efforts, keep going!" The encouragement from his friends made Li Yifeng more determined in his belief.

At work, Li Yifeng no longer did things half-heartedly. He took the initiative to take on more tasks, even the most tedious and difficult ones, without complaint.

Once, the company received an urgent project that needed to be completed in a short period of time. Li Yifeng took the initiative to volunteer and work overtime with his team members.

"Everyone, work harder and we will definitely accomplish it!" Li Yifeng's positive attitude infected his colleagues.

In the end, the project was successfully completed and Li Yifeng's performance was praised by his superiors.

"Li Yifeng, you did a great job this time, keep it up." The affirmation from his boss gave Li Yifeng hope.

However, the process of change was not smooth sailing. Sometimes, Li Yifeng would feel anxious due to excessive pressure and would want to give up when encountering difficulties.

"Can I really do this?" He once doubted himself like this.

But every time this happened, he would think of Lin Wan'er's happy life, his own determination, and then cheer up again.

To change his impatience, Li Yifeng started to learn meditation and yoga. Every morning, he would sit quietly on the balcony for a while to adjust his mindset.

"Only by being calm can I face life better," he said to himself.

He also developed the habit of writing a diary, recording his thoughts and ideas every night and summarizing the day's experiences and lessons.

"I made a little progress today, and I will do better tomorrow," Li Yifeng wrote in his diary.

As time went by, Li Yifeng's changes became more and more obvious. His knowledge became richer, his skills became more proficient, and his interpersonal relationships became better and better.

One day, the company had a promotion opportunity, and Li Yifeng successfully got the promotion with his hard work and outstanding performance.

"This is just a new starting point. I will keep working hard." Li Yifeng did not become complacent because of this.

He began to pay attention to social welfare undertakings and used his spare time to visit the elderly in nursing homes and accompany children in orphanages.

"Seeing their smiles, I feel that everything is worth it." Li Yifeng felt the joy of helping others.

During a charity event, Li Yifeng met a person with whom he had a conflict. But this time, Li Yifeng took the initiative to step forward and apologize to the other person.

"I was wrong in the past. I hope you can forgive me." Li Yifeng's sincerity surprised the other party.

In the end, the two resolved their conflicts and became friends.

"It turns out that only by letting go of the past can we embrace the future." Li Yifeng said with emotion.

Li Yifeng's life gradually got back on track, but he knew that this was just the beginning. He had to keep working hard to make himself better before he could truly turn over a new leaf and become a new man.

"I believe that the future will be better." Li Yifeng looked into the distance, his eyes full of hope.
