The sunlight bathed him warmly, and a gentle breeze brushed against his cheeks, carrying the faint scent of fresh grass. Li Wenbo's mood gradually lifted.
They rode to the mountaintop and stopped to rest. From the summit, they could overlook the entire city, with towering buildings standing in neat rows and traffic flowing endlessly below. Li Wenbo suddenly felt that all his previous worries and pains were so small and insignificant.
"Wen Bo, look!" Fang Jing Shu pointed to a distant sea of flowers. "It's so beautiful!"
Li Wenbo followed Fang Jing Shu's gaze and saw a vibrant expanse of blossoms shimmering under the sunlight. He had never realized that this city held such breathtaking beauty.
They rode their bikes into the flower field, wandering among the blooms. Fang Jing Shu picked a red wildflower and tucked it behind Li Wenbo's ear. "How does it look?"
As he gazed at Fang Jing Shu's radiant smile, an inexplicable wave of emotion surged within him. He reached out and gently caressed her cheek. "Thank you, Fang Jing Shu."
"I know you still have Dai Xinyi in your heart," Fang Jing Shu's voice quivered slightly. "Yes, I’m willing to wait—wait until you forget her, wait until you accept me."
Li Wenbo's heart was deeply touched. He looked at this kind and strong girl before him, filled with gratitude and guilt. He didn't know how to respond to Fang Jing Shu's feelings; he wasn't even sure if he could forget Dai Xinyi.
After a long silence, he took a deep breath as if trying to inhale all his complex emotions and slowly exhale them. He looked at Fang Jing Shu, his eyes filled with struggle and pain, along with a hint of barely perceptible gratitude. "Fang Jing Shu," he finally spoke, his voice hoarse and low, "I know that nothing I say now can make up for the hurt from the wedding day. I can't say I've completely forgotten Dai Xinyi; that would be too hypocritical."
Fang Jing Shu's eyes turned red, but she stubbornly held back her tears. Biting her lip, she listened quietly, waiting for Li Wenbo's next words.
"Yes," Li Wenbo paused before his tone grew resolute. "Since I have chosen you, chosen to start a new life with you, I won't look back again. Give me some time; I will let go of the past completely and cherish our time together." He reached out and took her icy hand in his. "Fang Jing Shu, let’s go get our marriage certificate in a few days."
Fang Jing Shu could no longer hold back her tears; yet her face broke into a relieved smile. She nodded vigorously. "Okay, Wen Bo, I’m willing."
Li Wenbo held Fang Jing Shu’s hand, feeling her cold fingers as if he were holding a piece of snow about to melt away. Looking at her face—tears mingling with smiles—his heart was filled with mixed emotions. It was easy to make promises, but fulfilling them was another matter entirely. The shadow of Dai Xinyi loomed over him like an unshakeable cloud.
The process of obtaining their marriage certificate went surprisingly smoothly; perhaps even fate felt that this couple had endured enough hardships and didn’t want to complicate things further for them. As they emerged from the civil affairs bureau, Fang Jing Shu tightly linked her arm with Li Wenbo’s, her face glowing with happiness. She looked up at him and cautiously asked, "Wen Bo, should we celebrate tonight?"
Li Wenbo forced a smile. "Sure! What do you want to eat?"
"Sure! What do you want to eat?" After asking, he regretted it immediately. His pockets were emptier than his face; all the wedding expenses had drained his funds—where would he find money for a celebration?
Fang Jing Shu seemed to sense his embarrassment and smiled reassuringly. "I know a great little place that’s affordable; let’s go there."
