Wen Nian had made his decision, and in truth, Song Lili never had the qualifications to question or the capacity to waver.
That sunrise, as beautiful as today's, just couldn't match the beauty of the one they saw when he first took her hand at the age of fifteen, leading her all the way to the mountaintop.
In the cramped tent, he was already a mature youth, while she was still immature and green.
They spoke their most bashful and awkward words, stealing glances at each other with shy and timorous eyes, as if they had not known each other for the past fifteen years.
But on reflection, inside the mountaintop tent, every word they had spoken to each other was the world's most beautiful declaration of love; every gaze they couldn't meet was filled with the truest of affections.
"Xiao Hua, aren't we leaving yet?"
Lin Xinglan nudged Song Lili, pulling her wandering mind back to reality.
