The two hailed a taxi, and Leng Qianyu gave the driver an address.
In no ti, they were standing by the riverside.
It was already late at night.
The riverbank was extrely quiet, and Gu Shi looked around in doubt, not understanding the significance of him bringing her here.
Leng Qianyu took her hand and crossed the street, walking to a bridge not far away spanning the Seine River.
Under the streetlights, Gu Shi imdiately noticed the shiny things hanging on the bridge’s railings—they were locks!
This was the lover’s bridge in Paris.
In the movie they fild together, the main characters reunited here, then locked a lock onto the lover’s bridge chain, committing their love for life.
"Did you... bring a lock?"
Leng Qianyu reached into his pocket and placed sothing in her palm.
A heavy black padlock, with beautiful script letters engraved on it, clearly custom-made.
However, it seed the lock had been around for quite a few years. Although well-preserved, it still showed signs of age.
It had their English nas engraved in script letters.
"Did you make this?" Gu Shi gently touched the engravings and looked at Leng Qianyu in surprise.
"Originally, I planned to bring you here for your sixteenth birthday," Leng Qianyu explained beside her.
She suddenly understood and didn’t ask any more questions. She simply held the lock tightly, excitedly.
"Let’s find a place to lock it."
So, the two walked forward together, searching for a place to hang the lock.
Both sides of the bridge were densely covered with various locks. So had rusted together over ti. Finally, she found a space—a discreet corner.
"It doesn’t seem good enough for you!" Gu Shi looked around, "Why don’t we find another spot?"
"Here is fine!" Leng Qianyu squatted down, "I just want to be an ordinary man."
"Alright."
Gu Shi reached over, hung the lock onto the chain, and together they locked it, discarding the keys, one for each of them.
"I want to throw it far away!"
Raising her hand, Gu Shi used all her strength to throw the key out.
Beside her, Leng Qianyu mimicked her, throwing his key out with force.
The girl held the railing and shouted.
"Leng Qianyu, I love you!"
She had wanted to say this, do this... for so many years, and today, she finally had the chance to shout it out loud.
Turning to look at the man beside her, who had grown up with her and been by her side for years. She didn’t have the bashfulness of a sixteen-year-old but loved him even more deeply than before.
"Leng Qianyu, do you love ?"
He walked over, stood in front of her, and spoke solemnly.
"I do!" Looking deeply into the girl’s eyes, he earnestly added, a confession ten years late, "Chongchong, do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Then he opened his arms to her.
She wanted to laugh, but ultimately couldn’t hold back, and tears fell.
Then she moved into his outstretched arms, hugging him tightly.
"Yes! Brother Qianyu, I really want to!"
On the bridge, all the locks shimred silver in the moonlight.
Below the bridge, the river seed covered in a layer of rcury, sparkling... with light.
True love flows deeply and quietly.
The one you believe in, how could you easily give up?
Going in circles, finally waiting for you, thankfully... I didn’t give up!
...
...
Sorry, I was delayed this morning and got back late.
