After getting off work, Shen Zhiyi sat on the subway back to her dormitory, put on her headphones, and opened the Suspended Island APP.
"Xiao Xu, you caught me chatting with you today. I've been ordered not to contact you during work hours anymore."
After she finished sending it, she couldn't help but laugh out loud at the tongue-twisting phrase.
Bo Xu replied instantly again.
"What did your sister call me?"
Shen Zhiyi: "Xiao Xu, can't you call me that? I can hardly tell you apart from President Bo."
If she still called him by his full name, she was afraid that one day she might lose her mind and do something stupid like sending the wrong message.
This possibility must be eliminated at its source.
Nineteen-year-old Bo Xu, on his side of the screen, saw the clear difference in intimacy between "Xiao Xu" and "President Bo" in the text and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Let's call him Xiao Xu!"
"I like it when my older sister calls me that."
"My sister is the first person to call me Xiao Xu. From now on, I will be my sister's Xiao Xu."
Shen Zhiyi's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were reciting a tongue twister."
"Do you think your 29-year-old self will remember this conversation we're having now?"
"Although on the surface, it seems like you don't know me at all."
"But... I wish I could retain my memories, so you wouldn't be so mean to me at work."
You have no idea how terrible you were today.
She was so scared she almost cried.
"I still get a little nervous when I hear your voice."
Bo Xu immediately sent a voice message to comfort her: "How could I be mean to my sister? Don't compare me to that old man. He's not nice to my sister, that's not me at all."
"How about I sing for my sister?" he whispered. "That way, she won't be afraid when she hears my voice anymore."
Shen Zhiyi recalled Bo Xu's voice during his report today.
His voice was more somber than usual, but it carried a youthful spirit that resonated with what I was hearing now.
So he nodded.
"good."
Bo Xu sang "A Thousand Years".
The sounds of the subway were blocked out of my headphones.
Shen Zhiyi looked up at the moving platform lights on the screen, and heard his deep, magnetic voice, gentle and tender.
It was as if those words, carried by her, pierced through time and space, gently flowing through her soul.
-
I have died everyday waiting for you
(I've spent every single day of my life waiting for you to appear)
Darling, don't be afraid
(Don't be afraid of being alone, my dear)
I have loved you for a thousand years
(My love for you has withstood the test of a thousand years)
Ill love you for a thousand more
(Even if another thousand years pass, my heart will not change)
...
And All along I believed I would find you
(I have always believed that I will find you)
...
-
As he sang, his voice sank and his emotions subsided.
"Sister, I miss you so much."
Shen Zhiyi inexplicably felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She opened her mouth, unsure of what to say, "Xiao Xu..."
Bo Xu took a deep breath and joked, "If you sing this song at the staff meeting, I'll definitely be captivated by you."
He believes that even if he encounters the things he liked when he was 19 years old again, he will still fall in love with them again after ten years.
Some preferences are ingrained in our genes.
Even time cannot erase it.
Shen Zhiyi noticed his low spirits and comforted him, "Before I sing for everyone else, shall I sing for you first?"
"Let me play you our song from 2025."
When the subway arrived at the station, she stepped out of the carriage, swiped her card to exit the station, and walked back to her dormitory along the deserted tree-lined path next to the campus.
She looked up at the leaves fluttering in the night sky and sang "The Wind Rises" to Bo Xu.
Bo Xu felt even more heartbroken.
"How come my sister can sing so well too?"
"I'm so jealous of me at 29, not only can I see my sister every day, but I can also hear her voice."
You might even run into her.
Bo Xu dared not think any further.
He was afraid he would die of jealousy.
Shen Zhiyi didn't know what to say, so she laughed and said, "He should be the one who's jealous of you."
"He only gets a 'Okay, Mr. Bo' in return, but you not only get to hear me sing, but you also get to hear me sing funny songs to make you happy!"
She deliberately sang "The Lone Warrior" and "Calories" to Bo Xu in a funny voice, making him laugh.
"Sister, you are so kind."
The boy stared at the flickering computer screen, covered in dense code, and made a silent vow—
He will definitely find a way to get to her side.
If he can contact her ten years in the future, what in this world is impossible?
He must find her!
At all costs!
On that day, he will absolutely, absolutely not let go of her hand, and will cling to her like a puppy.
No one can drive them away.

The next day, as soon as Shen Zhiyi arrived at the company, she received an important message.
Qin Luo was hospitalized due to a stomach hemorrhage.
The CEO's office suddenly lost its leader, and everyone was very anxious.
"Oh no, we're going to have to work directly with President Bo now, how terrifying."
