But this is not worth her scrutiny, she has long known that Wei Ge has always been not far from her, but neither of them took the initiative to break the ambiguous relationship between them.

Turning another page, she saw something suffocating.

In the center of the page reads: [Written in 2048]

In 2048? That's 40-year-old Wei Ge?

What's going on? Why is it written in 2048? It's supposed to be 2038, but is there a mistake in the record?

Or did Wei Ge write it on purpose?

But soon Jiang Suwan overturned her conjecture, because on the next page, she saw a mysterious text, and it was not difficult to make out that the beautiful handwriting was indeed owned by Wei Ge.

"To Jiang Suwan:

How are you doing? As you said, I will have a bright and tired future, I didn't understand your words at the time, but today I understand a little. I ate in an expensive western restaurant and lived a seemingly glamorous life, but in fact my heart was blank. What doesn't change is that I like you today, too. Do you still not like to joke with others? Smile more if you can, you don't know how good you look when you laugh.

- by 40-year-old Wei Ge"

Looking at this text, every trace of inexplicable emotion began to wrap Jiang Suwan's heart.

And those memories of the past, like plaster cast on her body that has dried up and fallen one after another, are being displayed in front of her eyes in pieces.

A light came in and destroyed her complacency.

It turns out that the truth has been hidden under "nothing but so" for nearly a decade.

Her hands trembled a little, but she calmed her emotions once again as she had done all those years ago, and continued to roll down calmly.

This has long been unconsciously become her habit, suppressing true emotions and showing people with a mask.

Everything seemed to be uneventful, but in fact, she had already messed up - all she had reached was the thickness she had pressed casually.

[August 7, 2048]

Today is my birthday, and the assistant and the whole studio have prepared a birthday surprise for me, celebrating that the mark of my 40th birthday has passed.

I didn't have any wishes to make, but at everyone's strong request, I could only make one symbolic wish.

After closing my eyes, I could still vaguely feel the flickering candlelight, and in a trance I remembered that in 2026, I also met Ah Wan on my birthday.

That day, I traveled thousands of miles to the little town that was slightly wet after the rain, hoping when I would see her.

I've seen rainbows countless times, but I've only seen a rainbow in the small southern town.

I was standing in the doorway, ready to paint all the beauty of Skyrim with my paintbrush, and that's when I saw her.

The thin figure made a splash in the drizzle while humming a gentle song.

I don't know how I recognized her, but I listened to her singing from far and near, so I gave up the idea of drawing and finally stood in front of her with a smile.

I've thought about a thousand ways we could see each other again, but in the rain, facing her with a blushing face, it seemed that this situation was more suitable for me at that time.

I love the way she looks when she's so shy that she wants to run away, but still has to pretend to be calm.

I didn't tell her it was my birthday, so again, there was no reason to ask her for a gift.

But I knew that day, I had the best gift of all my birthdays, and that gift was to be reunited with her.

I saw her smiling down the street with a wistful look on her face, and I knew she didn't belong in that little town.

I was a little scared and a little helpless about this.

At that time, I vaguely knew that her future was so bright and bright, and even her future might not be mine.

It's just that I was too perverse at that time, and I didn't take that fleeting premonition to heart.

……

Jiang Su stayed on this page for a long time and couldn't turn it, just because she couldn't read it.

There were many things that Wei Ge hid between the lines, which seemed to match her memory, but there were many more details that she did not know.

She put the page of the diary down for a moment and flipped to the back of more than a dozen random sheets.

[October 2, 2048]

Sunlight came in the old room and landed on the shelves, and I noticed the book, The Man Who Stole the Shadows.

I just remembered that it was her birthday.

I've always remembered this day, but today I forgot it.

Memories eventually began to have problems.

……

Jiang Suwan was about to hurriedly flip through a few more sheets, but heard the voice of Grandma Wu setting dishes and chopsticks in the living room and calling herself.
