As evening fell, the sky darkened, and a fine spring rain drifted down like threads, cloaking the world in a hazy veil. Lin Ning lay quietly on the couch in the Purple Bamboo Pavilion, surrounded by a tranquility so profound that he could hear his own heartbeat. Raindrops tapped against the bamboo leaves outside the window, producing a crisp and rhythmic sound, as if narrating endless sorrow. Each drop struck Lin Ning's heart, causing him to toss and turn, unable to find sleep on his lonely pillow.
His thoughts involuntarily drifted far away, landing on Yunshan Island. The sunlight there was always so bright, and Hu Xueyan's smile was even more radiant than the sun. They strolled side by side on the pristine beach, the sea breeze gently caressing their faces while the waves tenderly lapped at the shore. They talked about everything under the sun, sharing their dreams and secrets, each moment filled with sweetness and warmth. But now, those beautiful memories had turned to smoke. The clearer his recollections became, the more intense his sorrow felt in this moment. Lin Ning tightly shut his eyes, trying to dispel these memories, but they surged back like a tidal wave, making escape impossible. Slowly opening his eyes, he gazed at the faint light filtering through the window bars, a single tear slipping from the corner of his eye. In this silent rainy night, his sadness spread throughout the Purple Bamboo Pavilion like spring rain that lingered long after it fell.
In the morning, Lin Ning left Enze Gang and made his way to the seaside. He stood beside a small boat at the water's edge; remnants of last night's spring rain still lingered in the air with a coolness. Looking up, he saw where the sea met the sky in a clear expanse; the azure sky was unblemished by any impurities, and that boundless blue seemed to embrace the entire world. A gentle breeze stirred ripples across the surface of the sea, sparkling under the sunlight like scattered gold dust—dreamlike and ethereal. Lin Ning gently untied the mooring rope and stepped onto the small boat, picking up an oar and beginning to row slowly. The oar sliced through the calm waters with rhythmic sounds that echoed like the heartbeat of the ocean. The waves crashed against the rocks with a crisp sound. Memories of joyful times spent with Hu Xueyan surged within him like these waves—each wave bringing forth sweet moments of companionship and bittersweet farewells that flashed through his mind. The sunlight glimmered on the water's surface as Lin Ning gazed at the vast sea, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within him. This Yunshan Island that held countless memories now resembled a heavy tome; every page filled with stories of him and Hu Xueyan—those moments of joy and sorrow forever etched into this land and deeply imprinted in his heart.
His gaze fixed firmly on Yunshan Island—the island that held countless memories for him—now appearing faintly between sea and sky. Emotions surged within him like rolling waves. He longed to set foot on Yunshan Island quickly to seek out those memories buried by time and once again tread upon that familiar land. Yet at the same time, a thread of worry lingered in his heart; he feared that upon reaching the island, he would find it changed beyond recognition. Would he still be able to trace back to those scenes where they once laughed together and cried together? Would old friends still feel as warm as they did in his memories? As his small boat drifted further across the sea towards Yunshan Island, Lin Ning's heartbeat quickened. The sea breeze brushed against his face, tousling his hair while his eyes remained fixed ahead—his heart filled with complex emotions as he awaited that moment of reunion with Yunshan Island.
Finally reaching shore, Lin Ning jumped off the small boat. Yunshan Island lay serene and peaceful in the morning light; gentle sea breezes caressed it while trees swayed slightly as if whispering stories of time gone by. As Lin Ning stepped onto this land once more, every step was laden with complex emotions. The soft sand beneath his feet felt familiar; its rustling sound seemed to call from deep within his memories. Everything before him was both intimate yet strangely foreign. Once upon a time, he had walked along this beach with Hu Xueyan; their laughter echoed in the sea breeze; they had also experienced arguments and farewells here, tears shed upon this very ground. Wildflowers by the roadside still bloomed faintly fragrant as if retaining warmth from days gone by. Lin Ning's gaze fell upon an ancient banyan tree in the distance—its lush branches where they once shared heartfelt confessions and promised to be together for life. But now, everything had changed.
Lin Ning silently walked east toward Yihua Garden. Last night's spring rain had allowed Yulan Flowers in Yihua Garden to bloom extravagantly; their large blossoms stood gracefully on branches like elegant fairies—white as snow with pink blushes like dawn—showcasing all of spring's beauty. A gentle breeze swept through as petals danced down like colorful raindrops—a signal of fading splendor. Once vibrant brilliance gradually faded away; after all flowers had fallen, it seemed everything returned to its essence. Though Yulan Flowers had begun to wilt, a faint lingering fragrance remained in the air—yet this scent too was fleeting like past glories.
Butterflies flitted joyfully among fallen petals without knowing sorrow; they reveled in this last fragrance as if trying to capture spring's departing footsteps. Yet only Lin Ning stood quietly amidst this fluttering scene filled with fallen flowers—a heart full of melancholy. He gazed at petals strewn across the ground by spring rain and felt overwhelmed by emotions. Those once beautiful moments were like these Yulan Flowers—brief yet brilliant—leaving behind endless wistfulness after their departure. Time rushed forward; splendor faded away—what truly deserved eternal pursuit? This confusion and loss clung to Lin Ning's heart like fading spring colors that lingered long after.
Sunlight filtered through mottled leaves onto a jade statue beneath the Yulan tree. The statue of Hu Xueyan seemed almost alive; every detail exquisitely crafted sparkled in interplay between light and shadow as if it would come alive at any moment from its stillness. She stood there silently gazing at Lin Ning beside her. Lin Ning tilted his head slightly to meet her gaze; at that moment time seemed to freeze. The statue's eyes were clear yet deep; under sunlight's refraction they appeared almost teary—a crystalline sheen capturing countless emotions and stories.
A gentle breeze brushed past as Yulan flower petals drifted softly down onto her shoulders and feet—a dreamlike scene adding poignancy and sorrow to their silent exchange. A surge of complex emotions welled up within Lin Ning as he sensed both affection and reluctance in her gaze; though merely a jade statue she seemed imbued with soulfulness. In this tranquil corner where time stood still—the jade statue held tears seemingly unspoken while silently meeting Lin Ning’s gaze—a wordless connection transcending reality and illusion spoke of tales buried beneath layers of time waiting for him to uncover hidden depths behind those tear-filled eyes.
Lin Ning followed a flower-lined path arriving at Forget Worry Lake where remnants of last night's spring rain lay scattered among willow fluff and fallen blossoms—a scene marred by mud beneath them all now faded from their former glory into an unrecognizable sight resembling a crumpled painting tossed aside carelessly. Once vibrant flowers now appeared duller than before—their decline evoking pity as if depicting lost beauty frozen in time—a lingering scent wafting through air beckoning bees futilely searching for direction yet ultimately lost.
Lin Ning stood quietly at lakeside while gentle breezes tousled his hair; before him lay picturesque spring scenery which should have brimmed with life yet appeared shrouded under gray veils through his eyes now hollow staring down at fallen blooms below him—their decay mirrored his own sense of loss and loneliness spreading unchecked throughout him just like these wilting sights around him—all those cherished memories fading away leaving nothing but endless yearning behind them all perhaps viewed normally by others yet for Lin Ning it felt devoid of color entirely now—a soft sigh escaped him drowned out by wind’s whispers akin to loneliness buried deep within unheard by anyone else around him while Forget Worry Lake rippled gently seeming also voicelessly expressing sorrow matching layers upon layers echoing unresolved worries within himself endlessly repeating without end.
Unknowingly wandering further along he found himself near Peach Orchard! Once upon a time peach blossoms here bloomed predictably each year—petals pink as dawn drifting down when breezes blew through creating cascades everywhere around them both meeting often beneath these flowers exchanging glances brimming over with affection under sunlight bathing them golden hues illuminating everything around them—they strolled side by side discussing dreams for future possibilities while laughter resonated amidst floral scents every moment treasured over years gone past however time sped forth cruelly changing fate itself leading them apart eventually returning here alone amongst familiar sights yet missing familiar company—the paths once shared now traversed alone petals falling like memories swirling around them reminding him vividly how things used to be.
Lin Ning stood silently outside Peach Orchard fixated upon those prominent characters spelling “Consort Tau” above him while gentle breezes lifted strands from forehead without disturbing focus held firmly upon sight ahead once countless times envisioned altering “Consort Tau” into “Tao Fei” instead back then brimming hope wanting Hu Xueyan becoming unique treasure protected forever showered endlessly with love warmth surrounding her always blooming brightly just like peach blossoms presently flourishing pink petals trembling slightly atop branches whispering tales from days gone past filling air around them too—Lin Ning’s eyes reflected traces of wistfulness recalling dreams long since faded away gradually drifting further beyond reach.
He couldn’t help but reminisce over moments shared alongside Hu Xueyan—their laughter echoing sweetly intertwined gazes seeming alive even now yet present barriers loomed large between them represented starkly by “Consort Tau” standing there blocking paths forward slowly raising hand fingertips brushing against cold letters wishing desperately grasping hold onto dreams once cherished deeply rooted inside hearts longing fulfillment found nowhere else anymore standing beneath blossoming trees tears falling silently tasting bitterness arising from separation distance felt acutely today though things remained unchanged people no longer present nearby leaving behind only emptiness lingering amidst vibrant blooms surrounding him still shining brightly above all else witnessing unfulfilled desires perhaps destined forever sealed within memory’s depths.
After what felt like ages he sighed deeply letting go turning away leaving behind shadows cast long across Peach Orchard remaining quietly observing unfulfilled wishes etched forever into landscape bearing witness unsaid sentiments possibly only preserved within recesses hidden deep inside soul itself.
Lin Ning trudged heavily towards Yunyu Mountain where sunset’s glow enveloped everything below casting golden hues across landscapes everywhere reflecting Liuyun River flowing gently shimmering like ribbons winding through earth below clear waters revealing depths mirroring skies mountains painted brilliantly overhead casting shadows everywhere blending seamlessly into one another creating harmony between nature itself surrounding all living things existing nearby breathing life into surroundings themselves bringing warmth comfort wherever footsteps tread softly along banks nearby.
