Chapter 208: Expectations gradually fade away
"Yanchen, you are in good shape today!" a young player said to him with a smile.
Meng Yanchen couldn't help but laugh, he felt the pleasure and relaxation brought by exercise. "Thank you, I've been adjusting my condition recently, and more exercise is really good for physical and mental health."
After a fierce game, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin sat on a bench in the basketball court to rest. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but his expression seemed particularly relaxed and happy.
"Yanchen, how do you feel?" Xu Qin asked with concern.
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath, then replied with a smile: "I feel good, my body is relaxed, and my mood is more relaxed. Thank you for coming here with me."
Xu Qin looked at him tenderly, her eyes full of understanding and love: "I know that sports are very important to you. No matter what happens, I will support you."
Once, he met Xu Qin at a business event. Xu Qin was an elegant and charming woman, smart and capable, excellent at work, and a competitor in the same industry. They competed with each other in business, but they were also inadvertently attracted by each other's talent and charm.
However, fate made the two disagree on a project, which eventually led to the breakup of their relationship. Meng Yanchen's rationality and ambition made him choose to give up his feelings and devote himself to his career. Xu Qin, on the other hand, still exuded a unique charm after the breakup, which made him often recall the time they were together.
One day a few years later, Meng Yanchen met Xu Qin again at a business social event. She was still beautiful, but no longer the cold and frosty image she had at the beginning. In a casual conversation, they began to re-discuss the past. Meng Yanchen gradually discovered Xu Qin's inner tenderness and kindness, and that she still deeply missed their past feelings.
A series of coincidences and necessities intertwined their lives again. Meng Yanchen began to re-examine his heart and began to realize that career is important, but what is more important in life is to be able to share success and failure with the one you love, and experience the joys and sorrows of life together.
One day, Meng Yanchen invited Xu Qin to go out together to enjoy the bustling night view of the city. They strolled on the brightly lit streets. Xu Qin was wearing an elegant dress. The breeze blew the skirt gently, exuding a faint fragrance. Meng Yanchen looked at her, and many long-lost emotions surged in his heart.
"Yanchen, this place is so beautiful." Xu Qin's voice was clear and gentle, like a star in the night sky.
Meng Yanchen smiled and nodded, responding: "Yes, this is a place I often come here. I feel that the city is particularly vibrant at night."
They walked to a beautiful park and stopped to admire the rippling waves on the lake. Meng Yanchen looked at the lake quietly, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He had always buried the breakup with Xu Qin very deeply, but now on such a night, the past came flooding back to his mind like a tide.
"Xu Qin, I once firmly chose my career and gave up on love. But now I find that I may have missed a lot." Meng Yanchen said, with a hint of contemplation and regret in his tone.
Xu Qin listened quietly, her eyes revealing a touch of emotion and understanding. "Yanchen, everyone has different choices and pursuits. Maybe we were too young at that time and didn't know how to manage a relationship."
Her words made Meng Yanchen fall into deeper contemplation. Perhaps the original decision was correct, but now facing his former lover, he felt his heart was full of ups and downs. They continued to stroll in the park, exchanging ideas about each other's lives and recent situations from time to time, and the distance between them gradually narrowed.
On the way back to the hotel, Meng Yanchen suddenly stopped, looked at Xu Qin and said seriously: "Xu Qin, I want to start over. Can we start over again?"
Xu Qin smiled slightly, with complex emotions in her eyes. She nodded gently: "Perhaps this is our destiny."
Meng Yanchen decided to invite Xu Qin to watch a highly acclaimed movie about how a pair of star-crossed lovers find each other amidst the twists and turns of life. He hoped that through this movie, he could have a deeper understanding of Xu Qin's inner world, and also hoped that in such a relaxed atmosphere, they could get closer to each other.
They chose a small art cinema, which was quiet and comfortable, just right for a private conversation between the two. Meng Yanchen looked at Xu Qin briefly before the movie started, his heart full of anticipation and uneasiness. He didn't know where the next time would lead them, but he was determined to face this complicated relationship with sincerity and frankness.
After the movie started, they were immersed in the story, occasionally exchanging their views on the plot and characters. Meng Yanchen found that Xu Qin paid special attention to the love story in the movie, and her eyes revealed her yearning for that kind of deep affection and persistence.
"Do you think they can be together in the end?" Xu Qin suddenly asked, with a hint of thought in her voice.
Meng Yanchen thought quietly for a moment, "I think if two people truly love each other, no matter how many difficulties they encounter, they will eventually find each other."
Xu Qin nodded gently, as if silently thinking about his words. Their conversation was not just a discussion of the plot of the movie, but more like an exploration of each other's feelings and future possibilities. This time, Meng Yanchen felt that his inner uneasiness and anxiety seemed to be slowly understood and accepted.
After the movie ended, they walked out of the cinema, and the night was getting darker. Meng Yanchen couldn't help but grab Xu Qin's hand and said softly: "Xu Qin, thank you for accompanying me to watch the movie. It's really a pleasant night."
Xu Qin looked back at him, smiled and said, "I'm also very happy to experience this with you."
Meng Yanchen decided to prepare a special surprise for Xu Qin to express his deep feelings. He planned carefully, hoping to give her an unforgettable memory. In the early morning of a weekend, they planned to go to a small town not far from the city, where there was beautiful natural scenery and a peaceful atmosphere.
In the morning, they drove to the town, and Meng Yanchen took Xu Qin into a chic coffee shop. There was no hustle and bustle of the city, only the faint aroma of coffee and melodious music. They sat by the window, through which they could see the people walking leisurely on the street and the slightly yellow leaves in the morning light.
"This is such a peaceful place." Xu Qin said softly, her eyes revealing her love for this quiet scene.
Meng Yanchen stared at her, and the tension and expectation in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of satisfaction and peace of mind. "Xu Qin, I have a little surprise for you." He said softly.
