Dai Yuanyuan's character is naturally impeccable. With a family like Dai Zhixin's, the child's values are very upright. Dai Yuanyuan is warm and generous, kind and honest, and very likable.
Dai Yuanyuan also liked Wang Tianxiao very much back then.
When the two first met, Dai Yuanyuan hadn't gone to university yet; she was just living temporarily in the mountains with her father. For some reason, she fell in love with Wang Tianxiao, who had a naturally melancholic air about him.
In Dai Yuanyuan's eyes, Wang Tianxiao was different from other teenagers of his generation. He had a faint artistic air about him, which made him very different from those young men who only thought about sleeping with women or making money.
She was initially just curious about Wang Tianxiao.
But later, she discovered that because she was good-looking and had a generous personality, all the young men at the station liked her, and many of them had even given her ambiguous glances, both openly and secretly.
But Wang Tianxiao had none of that.
He barely paid any attention to me. No matter where we met, he was always just polite, as if I were one of his male colleagues, someone you could just casually greet and move on with.
This further fueled her curiosity.
So, through her father and through daily observation, she discovered that Wang Tianxiao was a kind, steady, and responsible man, and gradually she fell in love with him.
Love is so blind.
Love in this era, especially blind love.
Although material factors still play a role, influenced by new cultural trends, young men and women with some education have a romantic and artistic spirit. In their eyes, love is sacred, great, and unblemished.
Many people can remain devoted to someone until death because of a single poem or a love quote, let alone a living person like this, whom they see every day.
To Dai Yuanyuan's utter surprise, after finally mustering the courage to confess her feelings to Wang Tianxiao, she was rejected without hesitation, almost without a second thought.
It's as if she had been planning to refuse for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to unleash it, and then she just happened to walk right into the other party's trap.
She wanted to ask why, but Wang Tianxiao just smiled sheepishly and didn't say anything more.
Dai Yuanyuan was still not giving up, so she told her father, Dai Zhixin, about her feelings for Wang Tianxiao and asked him to act as a go-between for her.
Unfortunately, although Dai Zhixin also liked Wang Tianxiao, matters of marriage and love cannot be forced, and in the end she still received no response.
"Xiao Wang..."
"ah……"
Wang Tianxiao recovered from his reverie, and for a moment he was in a daze.
Before Wang Tianxiao got married, Dai Yuanyuan wrote him a letter, telling him about her journey and hoping to move him again and make him change his mind. She said that as long as he was willing, she would accompany him whether he lived in the mountains or went to a big city.
Unfortunately, Wang Tianxiao did not reply.
He was already engaged to Li Yali at the time, and his eyes were only on the gentle and loving woman in front of him. He couldn't see anyone else. That's how fate works; you can't force it.
In his past life, he thought he would never have any contact with Dai Yuanyuan again. She was living a good life in the big city, while he was picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence in a small mountain village.
Life is like a railway track, coming from who-knows-where, occasionally intersecting for a fleeting moment, then quickly diverging in both directions, never to be connected again.
But who would have thought that there would be such an opportunity to meet again, in this form.
Well.
There's nothing we can do.
He still had something to argue with Dai Zhixin about, so he couldn't not go along for the time being.
We can only react to each move as it comes.
Having two kids of his own, he probably wouldn't say anything more, no matter how generous that girl is.
Dai Zhixin's home is in the last row of the station.
Similar to Wang Tianxiao's layout at Yangziling, the station at Ziwuling, although much larger in area and with many more personnel, does not differ significantly in function.
To the west are the breeding and cultivation farms, and to the east are the living quarters for the station staff.
There are only about fifty or sixty people here now, but later, with the addition of family members and some temporary workers, the number reached more than three hundred, including family members. There was even a school with only a third grade in the station, so that many children could study until the third grade.
Dai Zhixin and Wang Tianxiao walked along the stone-paved path, chatting and laughing, having a very pleasant and harmonious conversation.
No wonder.
Wang Tianxiao now has the soul of a fifty-year-old man, which is quite different from Dai Zhixin's age group.
Wang Tianxiao knew exactly what people in this age group liked to say, and since he was also very knowledgeable about the developments of the next few decades, he could casually chat with Dai Zhixin about future developments in a predictive manner without any pretense.
Dai Zhixin frequently exclaimed in admiration, saying that Wang Tianxiao was truly a visionary young man, a rare find indeed.
The temperature at Ziwu Ridge is slightly higher than at Yangzi Ridge, so the vegetation here is greener. Along the way, you can often see many unnamed wildflowers peeking out from the cracks in the bricks and stones. Some of them are only a small section of their stems, yet they can still bloom a small flower, showing their tenacious vitality.
Wang Tianxiao recalled a sentence he had read in a book: "The truly vibrant beings are never the flowers blooming in the breeze and drizzle on the plains, but the wild grasses striving to release life on barren land."
As I approached the last row, I saw a girl emerge from the alleyway.
She was wearing a bright red trench coat over a cream-colored sweater, black leggings, and matching high-waisted leather boots. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders and tied with a sky-blue bow on the side.
