A youthful ten-year promise

Chapter 56 Shared Interests and Hobbies

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran have walked hand in hand through many years. Their careers are thriving, and their relationship is growing stronger. However, in this bustling city, they have always maintained that initial innocence and dream.

Unexpected reunion

One day, Lin Youran received an invitation from her alma mater to attend the upcoming school anniversary celebration. A strange emotion welled up in Lin Youran's heart; she thought of her youthful days spent there, and the days she struggled alongside Shen Yichen.

She decided to invite Shen Yichen to go with her to relive those wonderful times. Shen Yichen readily agreed. The two embarked on a journey back to their alma mater together.

On the day of the school anniversary celebration, the campus was filled with a festive atmosphere. Lin Youran and Shen Yichen strolled along the familiar campus paths, looking at the familiar buildings and scenery, their hearts filled with emotion.

As they were lost in their memories, a familiar figure came into their view. It was their former college classmate—Su Qing. Su Qing was a cheerful, lively, and lovely girl who was quite the star in school. She, Shen Yichen, and Lin Youran were once close friends, but they gradually lost contact after graduation due to work.

Su Qing's face lit up with a delighted smile when she saw Lin Youran and Shen Yichen. She quickly walked over and greeted them warmly.

"You Ran, Yi Chen, is it really you? It's been so long!" Su Qing's voice was full of excitement.

Lin Youran and Shen Yichen responded with smiles, "Yes, it's been a long time, Su Qing. How have you been?"

Su Qing smiled and replied, "Not bad. I'm working for a well-known company now, and things are going quite smoothly. What about you, You Ran? I heard you've become a famous writer, that's wonderful!"

Lin Youran smiled modestly, "Not at all, I just wrote a few things. What about you, Yichen? I heard your company is doing very well, is that right?"

Shen Yichen nodded: "Yes, the company is currently in a growth phase, and everything is going smoothly."

After exchanging pleasantries, the three decided to attend the university's anniversary banquet together. At the banquet, they reminisced about their university days, the days of struggling and laughing together feeling like they were just yesterday.

Sparks of memory

After the banquet, Lin Youran, Shen Yichen, and Su Qing strolled together on the school's playground. The playground was brightly lit, and students were chatting and playing in small groups. Looking at these young faces, they couldn't help but recall their own youthful days.

"Do you remember that entrepreneurship competition we participated in together back then?" Su Qing suddenly asked.

Lin Youran and Shen Yichen exchanged a smile, as if they had returned to that era full of passion and dreams. "Of course I remember, we almost forgot to eat and sleep for that project back then," Shen Yichen said with emotion.

“Yes, we were really fearless back then,” Lin Youran chimed in.

Su Qing smiled and shook her head: "Looking back now, we were so naive back then. But it was precisely that naivety and persistence that brought us to where we are today."

The three continued chatting, reminiscing about the past. They talked about fun times in college, the hardships of starting a business, and the support and encouragement they gave each other. These memories shone like brilliant sparks in their hearts.

Touching the soul

As their conversation deepened, Lin Youran and Shen Yichen discovered that despite the passage of time, Su Qing still retained her innocence and enthusiasm. Their admiration stemmed from her attitude towards life, her passion for work, and her sincerity towards friends.

At the same time, Su Qing also showcased her achievements and growth in her career. She not only achieved remarkable results at work, but also actively participated in public welfare activities in her spare time, using her own resources to help those in need.

Lin Youran and Shen Yichen were moved by Su Qing's spirit. They realized that although everyone is striving for their dreams, in the process, we should not forget to pay attention to the people and things around us, and to spread positive energy and warmth.

"Su Qing, you've really changed," Lin Youran said sincerely. "You've become more mature and responsible."

Su Qing smiled and replied, "Actually, we all change. But no matter how we change, our initial innocence and dreams should never be forgotten."

Shen Yichen nodded: "Yes, we are all striving for our dreams. But in this process, we also need to learn to cherish the people and things around us, and pay attention to those who need our help."

Expectations for the future

As night deepened, the three reluctantly said goodbye. During their farewell, they encouraged and blessed each other, hoping that they could go further and soar higher on their future paths.

Back home, Lin Youran and Shen Yichen were still immersed in the joy of their reunion. They talked with deep emotion about what they had gained and the insights they had gained from this reunion.

"You Ran, I think this reunion has strengthened our resolve to pursue our dreams and beliefs," Shen Yichen said, looking at Lin Youran with deep affection.

Lin Youran nodded: "Yes, I think so too. We should not only strive for our own dreams, but also learn to pay attention to the people and things around us, and spread positive energy and warmth."

Shen Yichen held Lin Youran's hand tightly: "Youran, I believe we can definitely make it to the end and realize our dream."

Lin Youran smiled and replied, "I believe so too. As long as we work together and forge ahead, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

They smiled at each other, as if they could already see a future full of endless possibilities. They knew that as long as they had love, dreams, and each other in their hearts, they would surely be able to create a better future together.
