A youthful ten-year promise

Chapter 429 Under the Leisurely Starry Sky, a Vow is Lightly Promised

On a summer night, a gentle breeze carried a hint of coolness. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran sat side by side on the grassy slope behind the campus, gazing up at the vast, boundless starry sky. The stars, like diamonds scattered across the black canvas, shimmered with captivating light.

"You Ran, look at that star, it's so bright," Shen Yichen said softly, pointing to a dazzling star in the sky.

Lin Youran looked in the direction he was pointing, a gentle smile spreading across her face. "Yes, it's so bright. Every time I see such a beautiful starry sky, I feel that life is full of hope."

Shen Yichen turned to look at Lin Youran, his eyes shining with deep affection. "Youran, do you know? In my heart, you are like this star, illuminating my world. In these ten years, we have been through thick and thin together, but our feelings have only grown stronger. My Yu, this is true love, isn't it?"

Hearing Shen Yichen's words, Lin Youran felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She held Shen Yichen's hand tightly and said affectionately, "Yichen, me too. For the past ten years, you have always been by my side, giving me strength and courage. Whenever I encounter difficulties or setbacks, just thinking of you makes everything seem less important. Because of you, I have become stronger and braver."

Shen Yichen gently pulled Lin Youran into his arms, feeling her warmth and breath. He lowered his head and lightly kissed her forehead, then said tenderly, "Youran, I want to hold you like this forever, never to be apart. Will you walk with me through every decade to come?"

Lin Youran raised her head, looking into Shen Yichen's eyes, her gaze filled with unwavering determination. "I do, Yichen. I'm willing to walk with you through every decade to come, through thick and thin, through poverty and wealth. As long as you're by my side, I have nothing to fear."

Hearing Lin Youran's words, Shen Yichen was filled with emotion and happiness. He hugged Lin Youran tightly, as if he wanted to meld her into his body. "Youran, I love you. I've waited ten years to dare to say these three words. But now, I want you to know that my love for you is deeper and more steadfast than ever before."

Feeling Shen Yichen's deep affection and warmth, Lin Youran felt an unprecedented sense of happiness welling up in her heart. She gently leaned against Shen Yichen's chest, listening to his heartbeat, as if the whole world had quieted down.

Just then, a shooting star streaked across the sky, leaving a bright trail. Lin Youran suddenly looked up, pointed at the sky, and shouted, "Yichen, look! A shooting star!"

Shen Yichen looked up as well, a surprised smile spreading across his face. "Really! You Ran, make a wish! I heard that shooting stars can grant wishes."

Lin Youran closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and silently made a wish. She hoped that her love with Shen Yichen would remain as it was at the beginning, and that they could walk through every decade together, facing life's challenges and difficulties side by side.

After making her wish, Lin Youran opened her eyes, looked at Shen Yichen, and said, "Yichen, I also have a wish that I want to fulfill with you."

"Oh? What is your wish?" Shen Yichen asked curiously.

Lin Youran smiled and said, "I hope we can make an eternal vow under this starry sky. No matter what happens in the future, we will hold fast to our love and never abandon each other."

Hearing Lin Youran's words, Shen Yichen was filled with emotion and excitement. He took Lin Youran's hand, and together they stood up, facing the vast starry sky. Then, he said affectionately, "Youran, I do. I am willing to make an eternal vow with you under this starry sky. No matter what happens in the future, I will uphold our love and never leave you, until the end of my life."

Lin Youran listened to Shen Yichen's vows, tears welling in her eyes. She hugged Shen Yichen tightly, feeling his warmth and heartbeat. Then, she said affectionately, "I do too, Yichen. I'm willing to walk with you through every decade to come, to protect our love together. Until forever."

Under the starlight, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran embraced tightly, making their eternal vows. At that moment, their love seemed to be elevated, becoming even more steadfast and profound. They knew that no matter what the future held, as long as they loved each other and supported one another, they would be able to face all challenges and difficulties together.

As night deepened, the vows made under the starry sky seemed to still echo. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran walked hand in hand down the hillside back to their dormitory. They knew that tonight's experience would become one of the most beautiful memories of their lives. And their love would continue to shine brightly under this starry sky.

From that moment on, whenever night fell and the stars shone brightly, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran would remember the vow they made that night. It was like a beacon, illuminating their path forward; like a lighthouse, guiding them to the shores of happiness. They knew that as long as they had love, faith, and each other in their hearts, they would surely be able to create a brighter future together.
