Chapter 158 Similar Interests
Since that unexpected encounter in the bookstore, Lin Xiao and Su Yang seemed to be closely entangled by the thread of fate, and their contacts became increasingly frequent and intimate.
On a sunny weekend afternoon, Su Yang called Lin Xiao with great expectations. "Lin Xiao, I know there is a great art exhibition going on, do you want to go and see it together?" Lin Xiao on the other end of the phone readily agreed. She dressed up carefully and went to the agreed place with great excitement.
When Lin Xiao arrived, Su Yang was already waiting there. He was wearing a simple white shirt and light blue jeans, which made him look particularly cool and handsome. Lin Xiao wore a light blue dress today, with her long hair draped over her shoulders. The breeze blew through her hair, making her look like a fairy from a painting.
The two smiled at each other and walked into the exhibition hall side by side. In the exhibition hall, the lights were soft, and exquisite paintings and unique works of art were quietly displayed, as if telling their own stories.
They stopped in front of a colorful abstract painting. Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and studied it carefully. "Look at this painting. The use of colors is really bold and unique. Those strong blocks of color collide with each other, yet so harmoniously, as if they are the intense emotions from deep within the painter's heart."
Su Yang looked at the painting intently, nodded, and responded, "Yes, it seems to convey a strong emotion, which makes people wonder about the author's state of mind when he created it. Maybe he is experiencing some kind of struggle, or pursuing an unspeakable freedom."
They continued to stroll in the exhibition hall, sometimes stopping in front of a sculpture to feel the fluidity and power of its lines; sometimes stopping in front of a group of photographs to explore the capture of light and shadow and the eternity of the moment.
"The eyes of the characters in this photograph are full of confusion and desire, which reminds me of many thoughts about life." Lin Xiao said, pointing to a black-and-white portrait.
Su Yang took a closer look and said, "I think the photographer used this simple expression method to show the complex emotions of the characters. It also reminded me that we often have such contradictory moments in life."
After coming out of the exhibition hall, Su Yang took Lin Xiao to a street coffee shop. The exterior wall of the coffee shop was covered with green vines, the interior decoration was simple and warm, the wooden tables and chairs exuded a faint fragrance, and the rich aroma of coffee filled the air.
They found a seat by the window and sat down. The afternoon sun shone through the window onto the table, forming patches of golden light.
"I found that our tastes in art are really similar." Su Yang broke the brief silence with a smile, his eyes full of joy.
Lin Xiao took a sip of coffee and nodded gently, "Yes, every time I communicate with you, I can get new inspiration. It feels like our perception of beauty and understanding of art always coincide."
As their communication deepened, they discovered that their common interests went far beyond art. When talking about music, both of their eyes lit up.
"I particularly like Jay Chou's songs. The unique melody and lyrics always touch my heart. For example, "Dawn of Rice" reminds me of the good old days of my childhood every time I hear it." Lin Xiao's face was filled with an intoxicated expression.
Su Yang said excitedly: "Me too! Each of his songs is like a story. For example, the beautiful melody and poetic lyrics of "Blue and White Porcelain" seem to bring people into a misty water town in the south of the Yangtze River."
They began to share their collections of Jay Chou's songs with each other, and exchanged the stories and emotions behind each song.
"And those classic movies, such as "Titanic", I am deeply moved every time I watch it." Tears flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, as if she recalled the heartbreaking love scene in the movie.
Su Yang felt the same way. "Yes, that kind of love that transcends class and life and death is so shocking. Especially the scene where Jack and Rose embraced each other on the bow, it was so beautiful."
They talked about everything from romance films to comedies, from science fiction films to art films, and every movie was a bridge for their spiritual communication.
Not only that, traveling is also their common yearning.
"I have always dreamed of going to Tibet and feeling the blue sky, white clouds and pure air there. Imagine standing on the vast grassland and looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance. The shock to my soul must be beyond words." Lin Xiao said with longing.
Su Yang's eyes were full of longing. "I want to go there too. I heard that the temples there are solemn and sacred, and the piety of the believers is moving. And the unique Tibetan architecture and food also make me yearn for it."
They began to plan their future trip, researching routes together and discussing what equipment to bring, as if they had already set foot on that mysterious and beautiful land.
On a breezy evening, Su Yang brought Lin Xiao to a mountaintop park in the city. Standing on the top of the mountain, one could overlook the bright lights of the entire city.
"Lin Xiao, during the time I've been with you, I feel more and more that there is so much tacit understanding and resonance between us." Su Yang's voice sounded a little soft in the wind.
Lin Xiao raised his head slightly and looked into Su Yang's eyes. "I have the same feeling. It seems that every time I communicate with you, I can see a better world."
Su Yang took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Lin Xiao, I want to tell you that I like you. Your kindness, intelligence, and love for life all deeply attract me."
Lin Xiao's face flushed. She lowered her head, then raised it after a moment, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "Su Yang, actually me too."
Su Yang gently held Lin Xiao's hand. At that moment, the breeze seemed to stop for them, and the whole world became quiet and beautiful.
In the following days, Lin Xiao and Su Yang's feelings grew stronger and stronger. They went to concerts together, intoxicated by the melodious music; watched new movies together, holding each other's hands in the dark theater; and explored the corners of the city together, looking for those hidden delicacies and scenery.
One weekend, they decided to go on a picnic together. The sun shone on the green grass, and they spread out the picnic blanket and put out the carefully prepared food.
"Look, there's a butterfly over there." Lin Xiao said, pointing to the flowers not far away.
Su Yang looked in the direction she pointed and said with a smile, "It's so beautiful, just like the time we are in now."
They lay on the grass, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, sharing each other's dreams and future plans.
"I hope to open an art studio of my own in the future," said Lin Xiao.
Su Yang held her hand tightly, "I believe you can do it, I will always be by your side to support you."
As time went on, their relationship became more and more stable, and their friends and family were happy for them.
On a warm night, Su Yang brought Lin Xiao to the beach. The waves gently hit the beach, and the moonlight sprinkled on the sea, sparkling.
"Lin Xiao, I want to go through every spring, summer, autumn and winter with you. Will you be my girlfriend?" Su Yang took out an exquisite little box from his pocket, which contained a sparkling necklace.
Lin Xiao was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded, "I do."
Su Yang gently put the necklace on her, and they embraced each other in the moonlight. Their hearts were like the boundless sea and the bright moonlight, eternal and pure.
