The next evening, Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin decided to take a stroll through the city streets after finishing a work dinner arranged by the company. As night fell, the lights cast a charming golden glow over the urban landscape. The streets were alive with the flickering colors of neon signs, and the calls of street vendors blended with the laughter and chatter of passersby, creating a vibrant scene of modern city life. 0
 
Bai Huaiyu gently held onto Jiang NanJin's arm, her face radiating a natural and relaxed smile. She walked with a light step, as if each stride was infused with the rhythm of dance. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and whenever she spotted an interesting decoration at a street corner or a unique window display in a shop, she would stop in delight, resembling a child filled with wonder about the world around her. 0
 
 
Meanwhile, Jiang NanJin lazily followed behind her, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth as he found Bai Huaiyu's confused yet adorable actions amusing. Although his demeanor seemed aloof and somewhat unapproachable, his eyes revealed a hidden concern, always keeping an eye on Bai Huaiyu to ensure her safety. 0
 
Bai Huaiyu pointed at a shop window, excitedly saying to Jiang NanJin, "Look over there! The display in that window is so beautiful!" 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin slightly raised his eyes and looked in the direction she pointed, then gently replied, "It's quite nice, but it doesn't shine as brightly as the light in your eyes." His words carried a hint of playfulness, yet remained tender. 0
 
In this atmosphere, the two slowly walked through the city's night, with the surrounding lights and sounds creating a beautiful backdrop for them. Bai Huaiyu's optimism and Jiang NanJin's laziness formed a wonderful harmony, making their evening stroll filled with an unusual charm. 0
 
 
On a quiet street, they slowed their pace. Bai Huaiyu leaned against a tree, looking up at the starry sky, her eyes sparkling with a dreamy light. 0
 
"You know, Jiang NanJin, when I was a child, I always dreamed of becoming a comic artist and drawing my own stories," her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of nostalgia. "But later, I realized I preferred sharing other people's stories with the world." 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin listened quietly, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He gently said, "Everyone has their own dreams; what matters is finding the path that belongs to you." His words, though simple, conveyed profound philosophy. 0
 
Bai Huaiyu smiled, her expression filled with optimism and positivity. "Yes, I'm very satisfied now. Being able to work with you and see so many wonderful stories." 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin gently shook his head, a hint of a mocking smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "You fool, always so optimistic. But perhaps it's this side of you that makes me dislike this world a little less." 0
 
As the night deepened, the two walked slowly along the city streets. Bai Huaiyu listened to Jiang NanJin recount stories from his past. His voice carried a unique blend of laziness and disdain, yet when he spoke about his dreams and views on the future, it became exceptionally sincere and profound. Bai Huaiyu was deeply captivated by his words, his eyes filled with curiosity and concern for him. 0
 
 
"Do you know? When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a writer," Jiang NanJin began his story, his voice deep and magnetic, as if laced with a hint of casual sarcasm. "But later I realized that reality is far more complicated than dreams." 0
 
Bai Huaiyu's eyes were filled with wonder. "Really? You wanted to be a writer? Do you still write anything now?" 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin's lips curled into a slight smile, a rare and sincere expression devoid of any sarcasm. "I occasionally write a bit, but most of the time I'm occupied with work." 0
 
Bai Huaiyu's face showed a hint of regret. "That's such a pity. Your stories must be really interesting." 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin looked towards the distant night sky, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes. "Maybe, but right now, I'm more concerned about our future." 0
 
Hearing this, Bai Huaiyu was slightly taken aback, her heart involuntarily racing a bit faster. She nervously asked, "Our future? Are you referring to..." 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin turned his head and looked directly at Bai Huaiyu, his gaze deep and serious. "Yes, our future. Don't you think there is a special connection between us?" 0
 
Bai Huaiyu's cheeks flushed lightly, and her eyes were filled with shyness. She lowered her head and softly replied, "Maybe, I feel that way too." 0
 
 
During this stroll, they not only shared their dreams and stories from the past but also formed a special connection on a spiritual level. Bai Huaiyu's charming clumsiness and optimistic attitude, combined with Jiang NanJin's lazy sarcasm and clever creativity, created a wonderful harmony that night. 0
 
Eventually, they sat down beside a quiet park. The night breeze gently blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Bai Huaiyu nestled next to Jiang NanJin, and their gazes were filled with reflections of each other. 0
 
 
Sitting on a park bench, the night breeze gently brushed against their faces, bringing the refreshing essence of the city at night. Bai Huaiyu leaned against Jiang NanJin, her gaze hazy as she stared into the distance, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. 0
 
Jiang NanJin turned his head to look at her, a flicker of complex emotions crossing his eyes. He spoke, his voice carrying his usual light sarcasm, yet tinged with tenderness: "Bai Huaiyu, you always do this, easily immersing yourself in your own world. But that's also what makes you charming." 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu smiled slightly, her expression filled with innocence and optimism. "Yes, sometimes I think I'm a bit silly myself," she said, yet her eyes sparkled with confidence. "But I believe everyone has their own unique qualities, don't you think?" 0
 
Jiang NanJin listened to her words, a faint smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of his mouth. His gaze softened, as if in that moment, his indifferent exterior was melting away. "You're right; everyone has their own brilliance. Just like you, who always finds the extraordinary in the ordinary." 0
 
 
They sat quietly, surrounded by the tranquility of the city at night. In the gentle breeze, their conversation was soft yet profound, touching not only on dreams and the past but also on their attitudes toward life and their hopes for the future. 0
 
In this atmosphere, Bai Huaiyu suddenly felt a twinge of nervousness. She turned her head to look at Jiang NanJin, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Jiang NanJin, what are you thinking?" Her voice carried a sense of curiosity and concern. 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin paused for a moment, seemingly interrupted by her question. He turned to look at her, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "I was wondering how many unique people like you still exist in this world." 0
 
Bai Huaiyu felt a blush rise to her cheeks upon hearing this. She lowered her head and murmured softly, "You always speak so directly." 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin looked at her shy demeanor and couldn't help but smile. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, his voice soft and sincere: "Bai Huaiyu, I mean it. Your presence is very special to me." 0
 
On the park bench, Bai Huaiyu sat closer to Jiang NanJin. His sharp tongue seemed to vanish in this warm environment, replaced by a relaxed and genuine exchange. His gaze softened as he looked at Bai Huaiyu, as if trying to understand her confused yet adorable inner world. 0
 
 
"You know, Bai Huaiyu, sometimes I really admire you," Jiang NanJin said softly, a rare seriousness in her voice. "In this complicated world, it's not easy to maintain your innocence and optimism." 0
 
Upon hearing this, Bai Huaiyu showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, which quickly transformed into a warm smile. "Thank you, Jiang NanJin. But sometimes, I also feel lost and don't know where my path is." Her voice carried a touch of vulnerability, revealing her inner uncertainty. 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin gently patted her hand, his eyes filled with encouragement. "Confusion is a path everyone must go through; what matters is that you have the courage to face it. Don't forget, you are not alone." 0
 
Bai Huaiyu felt a flicker of gratitude at his words, the corners of her eyes lifting slightly to form a beautiful arc. Her expression revealed her trust and reliance on Jiang NanJin. 0
 
 
Suddenly, Bai Huaiyu asked softly, "Jiang NanJin, is there a dream you've never told anyone about?" Her eyes were filled with curiosity. 0
 
Upon hearing this, Jiang NanJin was slightly taken aback, and then his gaze became profound. "Me? I have many dreams, but my biggest dream might be to find someone who truly understands me." His voice was deep, carrying a hint of sincerity he had never revealed to others. 0
 
 
Hearing these words, Bai Huaiyu felt a flutter in her heart. She gently leaned against his shoulder, her gaze soft as she looked at the night sky in the distance. "Maybe you have already found that person." 0
 
The two sat quietly like this, their souls reaching a wonderful harmony on this tranquil night. The world around them seemed to vanish, leaving only the two of them and the dreams and hopes within their hearts. 0
 
 
In the end, as the night grew darker, they got up and left the park, slowly walking home. Every step on the way felt like composing a special melody, and in this wonderful night, their hearts quietly drew closer to each other. 0
