The Most Beautiful Accident
《The Most Beautiful Accident》
In the overcrowded subway carriage, people were packed together like sardines. Lin Xiao was squeezed in the middle, her body swaying with the jolting of the train. Her hair was a bit messy and there was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion on her face. Suddenly, a strong hand reached out and blocked someone who was about to bump into Lin Xiao due to the sudden braking of the train like a protective barrier.
Lin Xiao looked up in slight panic and saw a pair of gentle and bright eyes. It was as if there were a sea of stars hidden in those eyes, making people unable to help but be deeply attracted. These were Chen Yu's eyes. There was a concerned look on his face and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, giving people a warm feeling.
The two looked at each other and smiled as if the surrounding noise had disappeared. After a brief chat, they got off the train together. After getting out of the station, they were surprised to find that they lived in adjacent neighborhoods. On both sides of the neighborhood roads were tall plane trees, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
Since then, they often met on their way to and from work. In the early morning, when the sunlight gently shone on the streets, they would nod and greet each other with a smile; in the evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange - red, they would sometimes stop to share the interesting things of the day.
Lin Xiao liked to take a walk in the park in the evening. There were all kinds of flowers in bloom beside the park paths, emitting a faint fragrance. Once, while she was immersed in this beautiful scenery, she met Chen Yu again in the park. At this time, the setting sun was like a huge fireball hanging on the horizon, and its afterglow was like a golden veil spreading over them. Chen Yu took a deep breath as if he had summoned up a great deal of courage and slowly took Lin Xiao's hand. Lin Xiao's heart suddenly beat faster, her face flushed slightly, but she didn't break free. At that moment, love was like a seed quietly planted, beginning to take root and germinate in their hearts.
However, Chen Yu's work suddenly faced a transfer and he had to go to another city far away. This news was like a dark cloud, hanging over their budding love. They faced a difficult separation, but they didn't give up easily. They stood under the old plane tree at the entrance of the neighborhood, with firmness in each other's eyes. They decided to give each other two years. Even though they were in different places, they would hold on to this hard - won relationship. Because they knew deeply that this unexpected encounter of love was the most beautiful accident, like the brightest meteor in the night sky, worthy of their careful protection, even if there were many unknowns and challenges ahead.
