Memories are near, love is far away V89

  She walked step by step, her feet stumbling slightly, but her eyes only had him, even forgetting the pain. She didn't walk up to him, but stopped below the platform, his gaze finally falling on her body, without any extra expression, faintly, as if looking at a stranger.

  Nie Zhiyan thought, she must have had some kind of illusion. Otherwise, why did Lu Yiheng look so weak and desolate at this moment? Why did Lu Yiheng's gaze make her feel icy cold all over, chilling her to the bone? She couldn't help but shrink back a little, feeling only the cold.

  He stood up and walked towards her, his eyes rippling with a subtle disturbance, reminding her of the four words: still water runs deep.

  She thought, it was just an illusion.

  He stood in front of her, with the morning mist floating around them, their breathing so light it was imperceptible, a moment of silence drifted away.

  It's been a long time, he finally spoke up: "I met you here and got to know you, from the beginning I liked teasing you, gradually I fell in love with you, and eventually I couldn't help but fall deeply in love with you. Then, I started working hard, just hoping to be more worthy of loving you. But, I lost you for seven whole years, we took so many detours, now, you're finally standing in front of me again."

  Nie Zhiyan only felt her eyes stinging with pain, and then her heart started to ache too. She didn't know if it was her eyes that brought on the heartache or if the heartache had made her eyes sting. She looked at him, unable to say a word.

  "But, Nieshiyan, I suddenly don't want to take a detour anymore. This night, I've been thinking, you've waited for seven years, what else can't be waited for? You should calm down, but, Nieshiyan, I couldn't convince myself, I couldn't wait any longer."

  She looked at him, still not saying a word. She wanted to say, "Lu Yiheng, I'm right here, why do you need to wait? I'm already in front of you, you don't need to wait anymore." But she couldn't utter a single word.

  He didn't want to wait anymore, so what could she do?

  Lu Yiheng, can you tell me what I should do?

  He took a slight step back, suddenly dropped to one knee, and in his hand appeared an exquisitely crafted box, with a small ring standing upright inside it, emitting a faint sparkle.

  He smiled slightly, his eyebrows and eyes softening, the faint morning light sprinkled down, his face shrouded in a halo of light, faintly, as if it had been painted with watercolors that had been washed away by the years.

  He gazed into her eyes, black pupils, like a deep pool.

  He said: "Niezhen's words, marry me, okay?"

  Tears rolled down in big drops, completely out of control. She desperately suppressed her sobs and barely managed not to burst into loud wailing.

  She just cried, and for a long time didn't give him an answer. The light in his eyes gradually dissipated, but he stubbornly knelt there, looking at her, as if to imprint her appearance into his heart, never to disperse.

  Nie Zhiyan thought, the hallucination that appeared today was really severe. He was right in front of her, looking at herself, proposing to her. In these seven years, she had dreamed too much, fabricated too many scenes, and imagined too many unrealistic fantasies. But none of them were as bizarre as this one.

  Yes, it's strange.

  Too unexpected, too surprising, too daring to hope for, almost beyond all her expectations.

  Lu Yiheng proposed to her.

  She always thought that Lu Yiheng didn't love her.

  She always thought that even if Lu Yiheng fell in love with her, there would still be a shadow of someone else in his heart.

  She had always thought that in this world, there wouldn't be such a miracle for her.
