C225 A Dream of Long Love (1/2)

On the screen. Specks of starlight scattered down onto the ground, giving off a sense of elegance.

Lin Yi realized that he seemed like a third party as he watched everything that happened from a vantage point.

At this moment, Lin Yi saw a beautiful figure leaning on a pillar in a small pavilion, watching the starlight in the sky. Beside a tree in the pavilion, a man dressed like a scholar was looking up at the girl leaning against the window, his eyes filled with admiration. Only when the crescent moon hung high in the sky and the morning dew dripped down did the man reluctantly leave.

Day after day, month after month. The two of them had never interacted with each other before, much less looked at each other. However, the love and admiration in the man's eyes grew increasingly deep.

Time was wasted, and a year's time passed in the blink of an eye.

That night, when the man once again arrived before the woman's window, the window that had never been closed before had not been opened today. The bright red lantern by the window caused the man to instantly land on the ground like a lightning bolt. That night, the man turned around and left. On the trunk of the tree, a trace of bright red blood was exceptionally bewitching.

Many years later.

An old man walked to the tree with a walking stick in his hand. The tree from years ago had become a towering tree, and its shadow covered the entire pavilion. As for the loft from the past, it seemed that no one lived in it anymore, and it was already extremely dilapidated. With difficulty, the old man walked to the door while holding the walking stick. He paced back and forth hesitantly. Finally, as if he had mustered a great deal of courage, he slowly pushed open the door.

As far as the eye could see, the grass was lush and fragrant. Now, this scene had been left unattended for a long time. After glancing at it, the old man slowly walked to the window with his body hunched. When he touched the fence, he naturally found traces of it. Perhaps it was because he understood what was going on. A stream of tears flowed down the old man's face before he finally sighed and slowly turned around to leave. As the sun set in the west, the old man's silhouette seemed to lengthen in the afterglow.

The video stopped playing. Watching all of this, Lin Yi's heart instantly had an indescribable feeling.

Lin Yi knew that when the man came under the tree every night, the woman had already known about it. The marks in front of the column were incomparably clear as to how many days the man had come.

Lin Yi also knew that the woman mustered up her courage that night to close the window, and even hung a red lantern outside the window. Actually, she was wearing a red gown and a jade crown on her head, hoping that the man would be able to go upstairs. However, after the man saw all of this, he was so sad that he chose to leave. And when the woman sat until daybreak and didn't wait for the man to go upstairs, the dried tears on her face could clearly be seen. From then on, the woman also relied on him every night. However, his gaze was fixated on the big tree below the pavilion.

Lin Yi also knew that men never married. After leaving the penthouse, the man received a title of achievement. At the same time, he declined the good intentions of many high ranking officials. He spent most of his life alone.

”So this is Lovesick?” Lin Yi muttered as a glint of light flashed across his eyes.

Following that, the image appeared again.

The same attic, the same night. He also looked at the stars through the window and the man under the tree.

When the red lantern night finally arrived, hanging from the window of the attic, the man appeared once more.
