Time flies by, like a fleeting white horse. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen have walked hand in hand through countless years. Their once lustrous black hair has gradually turned a silvery white, as if gently dusted with frost by time. Their faces are etched with the traces of time, and every wrinkle tells a story of the past. Yet, their eyes remain deep and bright, overflowing with love and happiness, like the most precious treasure accumulated over time, never fading despite the vicissitudes of life.
On a sunny afternoon, a gentle breeze caressed the flowers and plants in the courtyard, bringing with it bursts of pleasant fragrance. Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen, as usual, supported each other and slowly walked to the old tree in the courtyard. The tree's trunk was thick and solid, and its lush branches and leaves formed a giant green umbrella, shielding them from the scorching sun. Beneath the tree stood a simple stone table and several stone benches, their surfaces smooth and warm with the wear of time.
The two of them sat down slowly, leaning back slightly, and stretched their bodies in a relaxed manner. Their eyes casually fell on various corners of the courtyard, and their thoughts drifted away, as if they had traveled through the long river of time and space and returned to the past.
"Qingchen, do you remember the first time we met?" Jiang Zhi turned her head slightly, a gentle smile in her eyes, and asked softly. Although her voice was a little hoarse due to age, it was still full of unique charm.
Shen Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, as if the scene of that year appeared before his eyes. "Of course I remember. It was on the streets of a bustling city. You were like a unique star, emitting a unique light in the crowd. I was attracted to you at first sight. That feeling is still unforgettable."
Jiang Zhi laughed softly, a laugh tinged with shyness and sweetness. "Back then, I was so obsessed with revenge that I had no time to think about anything else. If it weren't for your persistence and sincerity later on, perhaps we would have passed each other by like this."
"The red thread of fate will ultimately bind us together." Shen Qingchen reached out and grasped Jiang Zhi's slightly trembling hand. His palm was broad and warm, conveying endless strength and comfort. "Remember those days when you ventured alone into dangerous situations for revenge? I always worried about you from behind, wishing I could always be by your side, facing all the dangers with you."
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, a hint of determination and emotion flashing in her eyes. "Those days were indeed difficult, but it was precisely because of those experiences that I became stronger. And you have always been the most solid support in my heart. Even though we sometimes face separation and misunderstanding, I know that you have always been silently protecting me."
Their conversation gradually turned to the twins' upbringing. "The kids were so naughty when they were little, especially the older brother. He was always curious about everything around him and would often mess up the house," Jiang Zhi said with a doting smile.
"The younger sister was much more well-behaved. Her sweet smile, like the sunshine in spring, could dispel all the haze." Shen Qingchen recalled, a happy smile on her face. "Do you remember the scene when they first went to school? The brother was so excited, carrying his little schoolbag, skipping and jumping in front, while the younger sister was a little shy, holding on to your clothes tightly."
"Yes, time flies. In the blink of an eye, they have grown up and have their own pursuits and dreams," Jiang Zhi said with emotion. "We have also gone from passionate young people to the gray-haired old people we are today."
"Although time has changed our appearance, our love has never changed." Shen Qingchen held Jiang Zhi's hand tightly and said affectionately. "We have experienced ups and downs together, with laughter, tears, quarrels, and reconciliations. These little bits and pieces make up our colorful life."
They recalled the thrilling final battle with the mysterious organization. "It was a life-and-death battle. We faced enormous danger, but for our families and for justice, we never backed down," Jiang Zhi said with a look of determination.
"At the height of the battle, I thought we were going to fall. But your courage and wisdom gave me strength and made me believe that we will be able to defeat evil." Shen Qingchen said.
"And Jiang Yao, her jealousy eventually led her to the path of destruction. In fact, she is also a pitiful person, blinded by jealousy and lost herself." Jiang Zhi sighed slightly.
"Let the past be the past, and we should cherish the happiness in front of us now." Shen Qingchen comforted.
Afterwards, their conversation turned to the reconstruction and development of the family. "The Jiang Group and Shen Group's achievements today are inseparable from our efforts, and even more so, the dedication of our children," Jiang Zhi said.
"The children are all excellent. They have inherited our fine traditions and have their own innovations and developments. I believe that the family will prosper even more in their hands." Shen Qingchen said confidently.
They also reminisced about their travels together. "The places we visited together and the scenery we saw have become the most beautiful memories in our hearts," Jiang Zhi said. "Whether it was the magnificent mountains and rivers or the quiet towns, they all became extra beautiful because of your company."
"Traveling broadens our horizons and makes us cherish each other more," said Shen Qingchen.
On this quiet afternoon, Jiang Zhi and Shen Qingchen sat quietly in the courtyard, reminiscing about the past. Their love story, like a long and magnificent epic, flowed slowly through the long river of time, forever shining brightly. They knew that their life journey might soon come to an end, but their love and family heritage would continue forever, becoming the most precious treasure in the hearts of future generations.
