letter

The first month after Gu Yang left was particularly difficult for Lin Shen. Although they video every day, the twelve hour time difference makes communication difficult. Lin Shen often waits for news from Gu Yang late at night, while Gu Yang has to talk to Lin Shen before he goes to bed in the early morning.

However, distance did not dilute their feelings, but instead made each other cherish every opportunity for communication even more. Lin Shen began to learn how to express his feelings, while Gu Yang became more attentive and considerate.

On a weekend afternoon, Lin Shen was debugging code in the laboratory when he suddenly received a package. Upon opening it, there was a beautifully crafted sketchbook and a letter inside.

Dear Lin Shen

The buildings here are beautiful, but I always feel like something is missing. Later I understood that it was without you. I started painting every scenery I saw, hoping to one day take you to see it with my own eyes.

When I miss you, I can draw. The first page of this sketchbook depicts the library where we first met.

Love you,

Gu Yang"

Lin Shen opened his sketchbook and the first page indeed depicted the window view of the library, even the ginkgo trees outside the window were lifelike. He felt a slight warmth in his eyes and immediately sent a message to Gu Yang: "I have received the sketchbook, it's very beautiful

A few seconds later, Gu Yang's video request came. Gu Yang on the other end of the screen looked radiant and said, "Do you like it? I'm still learning and I'm not very good at drawing

I really like it, "Lin Shen smiled and said," When did you learn to draw

After coming here, I signed up for a class, "Gu Yang said awkwardly." I wanted to give you a surprise. By the way, I have some good news to tell you

What good news

The internship I applied for has been approved! "Gu Yang said excitedly." At a well-known architectural firm, I can participate in a large-scale museum project

Lin Shen sincerely felt happy for Gu Yang and said, "Great! I knew you could do it

But... "Gu Yang's expression suddenly became hesitant," The internship period will be extended by six months, and I may have to stay here for a while longer

It's okay, this is a great opportunity. I will support you

After hanging up the video, Lin Shen sat in the laboratory lost in thought. Although he was happy for Gu Yang, the extended separation time still made him feel disappointed.

At that moment, the laboratory door was pushed open. Professor Wang, Lin Shen's mentor, walked in and said, "Xiaolin, I was just looking for you

Professor Wang, is there anything I can do

There is an opportunity to exchange in the UK, "Professor Wang said." It's an AI project at the University of Cambridge that will last for six months. I think you are a good fit. Would you like to consider it

Lin Shen was stunned. Cambridge? Isn't that the city where Gu Yang is located?

I... I need to think about it, "Lin Shen said, already calculating in his heart.

At night, Lin Shen and Gu Yang shared this news with him during a video call. Gu Yang's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? That's great! We can meet now

But... "Lin Shen hesitated," my English is not very good, and

Don't worry, "Gu Yang interrupted him," I'm here. And your professional skills are so strong, there must be no problem

Watching Gu Yang's excited expression, Lin Shen suddenly felt that perhaps this was an opportunity. Not only to reunite with Gu Yang, but also for my own growth.

A month later, Lin Shen boarded a flight to the UK. When he saw Gu Yang waiting for a long time at the airport, all his worries turned into joy.

Gu Yang hugged him tightly and said, "Welcome to Cambridge

Lin took a deep breath and felt the familiar aura on Gu Yang's body, "I'm here

In the following days, the two began their shared life in Cambridge. Although busy on their own, they always make time to explore this city together on weekends. Gu Yang took Lin Shen to visit various buildings, while Lin Shen taught Gu Yang programming.

On a weekend afternoon, they sat on a bench by the banks of the Kang River. Gu Yang suddenly said, "You know what? I think we're all getting better

Lin Shen nodded and said, "Yes, distance has taught us independence and made us appreciate it more

Gu Yang held Lin Shen's hand and said, "No matter what the future holds, we must face it together

The afterglow of the sunset fell on the two of them, stretching their shadows long. Lin Shen knew that this was just a stopover on their long journey of life. No matter how many unknowns lie ahead, as long as they walk hand in hand, they are fearless.
