Chapter 471 I Finally Returned My Youth to Her

the next day.

Hu Yuhua arrived at the agreed place and saw Liu Zhengyan sitting by the window. The early summer sun shone in from the window, spreading on his shoulders and illuminating half of his face.

Hu Yuhua was in a trance, as if she had returned to the day 20 years ago when she first met Liu Zhengyan.

That day, also a sunny summer day, Hu Yuhua made an appointment with a friend to meet up in a cafe. Since she had nothing to do at home, she came early and waited by herself.

Then I met Liu Zhengyan who was working in a cafe.

Hu Yuhua will always remember that the sunshine that day was exceptionally bright, but not as dazzling as the young man in front of her.

Liu Zhengyan, who is in his early twenties, is in the best years of his life. He has handsome features, a refreshing temperament, a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows, and a thin figure. However, the way he wears the cafe employee uniform reveals an ascetic beauty.

He walked up to her, half bent down, and asked in a gentle tone: "Ma'am, what would you like to drink?"

The sunlight poured down from in front of Hu Yuhua's eyes and fell on half of Liu Zhengyan's face. With just one glance, Hu Yuhua remembered this young man deeply.

But in the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

Hu Yuhua put away her sighs, smiled out of habit, and walked towards Liu Zhengyan: "Old Liu, how come you have time to ask me out for coffee? I've been very busy lately. If it wasn't you who asked me out, I wouldn't have bothered to answer you!"

Liu Zhengyan stood up with a smile, walked to the opposite side, gently pulled out a chair for Hu Yuhua, and asked her to sit down: "It seems that I am still quite prestigious here, Yuhua!"

"Of course! Oh, by the way, I have good news for you. The martial arts drama you produced the theme song for us last time has finally been re-edited and approved!"

Liu Zhengyan couldn't help but be excited: "That's great! I'm not saying this, Yuhua, when you choose actors to work with, you must open your eyes and look carefully at their character. Otherwise, this good drama can't be released in the end because of an actor, which is a big loss."

Hu Yuhua felt the same way: "That's right! We at Shanghai Film Studio are considered lucky. There's only one supporting role and not many scenes. It's not difficult to cut the scenes or find someone else to reshoot. Those companies are pitiful. They are the leading male actors and now they don't know what to do!"

It is impossible to cut out the scenes, and find other people to reshoot. Good actors will feel unlucky, and bad actors cannot support the ratings of a drama. Leaving it like this will not only affect the investment, but also the development of other actors in the drama.

Especially the heroine, who worked hard for several months to shoot a movie, but it can't be released. How can she make up for the wasted time? How can she calculate the invisible loss of the actor? It's a big loss! Liu Zhengyan smiled and sat opposite Hu Yuhua, listening to her nagging about work, "I ordered you an Irish coffee."

Hu Yuhua opened his eyes wide, a little helpless: "Lao Liu, I drove here, how can I go back after you give me some alcoholic coffee?"

Liu Zhengyan smiled calmly: "I can drive, I'll take you back."

Hu Yuhua was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Liu Zhengyan to say this: "Huh?"

Liu Zhengyan looked into Hu Yuhua's eyes without any evasion, "Yuhua, we have missed each other for more than ten years. I don't want to deceive myself anymore."

Hu Yuhua felt her heart pounding uncontrollably. She was a little afraid to listen to Liu Zhengyan's words: "Wait a minute, Lao Liu..."

"I can't wait any longer, Yuhua. I asked you out today just to ask you a question." Liu Zhengyan interrupted Hu Yuhua gently but firmly, "Can you give me another chance?"

…

"Can you give me a chance?"

Twenty years ago, the young Hu Yuhua asked the equally young Liu Zhengyan. The girl's eyes were filled with love and longing for the future, so beautiful that it was impossible to look directly at her.

Liu Zhengyan put his hands in his pockets and clenched them tightly. He clenched his teeth and relaxed them several times before he smiled mockingly, "Hu Yuhua, what are you thinking? How could I like you? I only treat you as a friend. And come on, what are you wearing today? It's so tacky! Are you wearing your mother's skirt?"

Hu Yuhua was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Liu Zhengyan, I am telling you something serious. I like you and I want to be your girlfriend and your wife in the future. Do you agree or not?"

Liu Zhengyan reached out and flicked Hu Yuhua on the forehead: "Do you have a fever? Or did you lose a game with your friends and come here to play dare? Okay, okay, I get it. Women are trouble! Don't play this kind of game next time!"

"Liu Zhengyan you are such an idiot!"

…

"Liu Zhengyan, I like you!" Hu Yuhua followed behind Liu Zhengyan like a little tail, chattering non-stop, "I like you, do you like me? Liu Zhengyan, I like you, please make a sound, are you mute?"

Liu Zhengyan didn't answer her, but handed her a stack of signed photos: "Come on, since you like me so much, these are all my autographed photos. Keep them for now. When I become famous in the future, these autographed photos will be worth a lot of money!"

Hu Yuhua was angry, but at the same time she happily took the photo: "I'm asking you a question! Hey, who is the person in this photo? She looks just average..."

Liu Zhengyan snatched the photo away: "Humph, if you don't want it, give it back to me!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Who said I don't want it? If I can't get you, I'll keep the photo for now, as a consolation!"

"Wow, Hu Yuhua, how can you say such... words without changing your expression?"

Hu Yuhua couldn't take it anymore and kicked him: "You bastard! You are... that thing!"

…

"Liu Zhengyan, I have liked you for so many years. Now I am about to leave. Can't you give me a clear answer?"

Standing in the busy airport, Hu Yuhua confessed her feelings to Liu Zhengyan for the last time: "Why don't you accept me? Even if you signed a contract that you can't fall in love, I can wait! I've waited for you for five years, and it doesn't matter if you wait another ten years!"

As if begging, Hu Yuhua whispered: "As long as you say one word to let me stay..."

"Go ahead!" Liu Zhengyan interrupted her. "The world outside is so big. There's no need to keep tying you to this tree."

After saying this, Liu Zhengyan clearly saw the light in Hu Yuhua's eyes shattered.

After a long period of silence, Hu Yuhua walked into the security check without looking back, without saying a word of farewell.

Later, many years later, Liu Zhengyan met Hu Yuhua again. Hu Yuhua had become a mature producer. He could reach out to him and say with a smile, "Old friend, long time no see," just like treating an ordinary friend.

The little girl who only had eyes for me back then was finally lost by me.

…

With so many memories coming to mind, Hu Yuhua felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Liu Zhengyan suppressed the unspeakable pain in his heart and gently called her name: "Yuhua, I know that it is wrong for me to bring up this matter again after twenty years. But I can no longer deceive myself. You will always occupy the most important place in my heart. From the beginning to the end, there has been no change."

"I have been avoiding your feelings all along because of my inferiority complex. I feel that a small person like me who has been struggling at the bottom of the entertainment industry is not worthy of you. I think you deserve better. I think... I think that if I have a successful career, if I become a household name, I will be worthy of you..."

but.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It doesn't matter anymore." Hu Yuhua took a deep breath, raised her head and gave Liu Zhengyan a smile, "I have tried to find a suitable excuse for you countless nights, trying to comfort myself that you don't dislike me, you just have reasons... No matter what the reason is, I once sought a clear answer, but later I realized that those things are actually not important at all."

Liu Zhengyan's heart tightened, and he felt uneasy: "Yuhua..."

"Do you know how many times I have confessed to you?" Hu Yuhua suddenly asked.

Liu Zhengyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned sideways and picked up a small box from the ground. Only then did Hu Yuhua notice that there had been a small box at Liu Zhengyan's feet, and it was the one she had given him that year.

Hu Yuhua was stunned for a moment: "You still keep it?"

"Yeah." Liu Zhengyan forced a smile, opened the box, and turned to Hu Yuhua.

Hu Yuhua then saw that the box was filled with a lot of letters that had not been sent out: "What is this?"

"I wrote you a letter." Liu Zhengyan's throat was a little tight. "I didn't know your address abroad, so I didn't send the letter after I finished writing it. And, it's a bit embarrassing to say that every time you confessed to me, I didn't say yes..."

But after returning home, Liu Zhengyan would be extremely happy and then write down all his true thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

"You've confessed your love to me a total of 364 times. If I'm just talking about the number of times you've simply said 'I like you', I'm sorry I can't quite remember. But since you left, I've written you a letter every week. I wonder if that can make up for my mistake..."

“Bang!”

Liu Zhengyan couldn't continue speaking, because Hu Yuhua had already slammed the box shut viciously: "What's the point of doing all this? You would rather spend so much time on these things than just tell me directly that you like me? Is it that hard to face me directly?"

Liu Zhengyan looked at Hu Yuhua's red eyes, and his own eyes also felt a little sore: "Yuhua, you know that a man's self-esteem is the most useless, but also the most stubborn thing in the world... Now when I look back at myself back then, I can't wait to slap him to death..."

But at that time, some things were so unreasonable, standing between the two people, self-esteem, family background, social status...

These inexplicable yet extremely powerful things are hidden under the wings of a thing called "dream", forcing Liu Zhengyan to keep moving away from his beloved woman.

“That’s ridiculous…”

Hu Yuhua murmured to himself, it was really ridiculous, everything he had experienced in the past twenty years was caused by such a ridiculous thing. Hu Yuhua suddenly felt extremely angry and sad.

"So, Yuhua, can you give me another chance? Give me a chance, so that I can go through twenty years and embrace the you of the past."

"You wish!"

Hu Yuhua stood up suddenly, glared at Liu Zhengyan fiercely, then left without looking back, just like she did when she left that year.

Liu Zhengyan looked at her departing back and felt that all his courage and strength were drained away from his body at this moment, just like when he watched her leave with his own eyes.

"Ahem!" The coffee shop employee who had been eavesdropping nearby couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "Go after him! What are you still standing there for?"

Liu Zhengyan suddenly realized what was going on and wanted to rush out with his suitcase, but he turned back after a few steps: "I haven't paid the bill yet..."

The coffee shop owner couldn't stand it anymore: "Hey! Consider it my treat, you better go chase her quickly! If you don't go, then I will!"

Liu Zhengyan had no more worries. He carried a box full of unsent letters and caught up with the figure that had haunted him for more than ten years: "Yuhua, wait for me!"

In the coffee shop, from the boss to the employees, from the customers to the cleaning lady, everyone had an auntie-like smile on their face at this moment.

This melon tastes quite sweet!

Fortunately, it's not choking! The background music in the coffee shop is playing the hottest song of the moment: "I will finally give my youth back to her "

The heart goes with the wind. In the name of love, are you still willing..."

The new song has been released, do you have tickets? Where have you been recently? Aren’t you all back from traveling? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
