"To Bai Yu, Zhan Xinjia.
How are you doing recently? The weather is getting colder, I hope you keep warm.
Because I have been busy with graduation matters recently, the letters I sent to you are a bit late. Please forgive me.
Fortunately, everything ended smoothly and I breathed a sigh of relief.
When I was cleaning up the room at home, I found that the letters you sent me filled up a whole box. I kept every letter carefully.
To this day, I still remember the excitement I felt when I first received your letter.
Unconsciously, we have corresponded for nearly ten years. I feel very happy to be able to participate in each other's lives for a long time.
There is one last thing I want to tell you. I have been hired by a company in Xinghai City and will live in Xinghai City from now on.
The distance between us is much closer, and the postman should be able to deliver letters much faster, haha.
I have always heard you say that there are many delicious restaurants in Xinghai City. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to eat with you in the future?
After thinking about it for a long time, maybe this suggestion is offensive to you.
If you would like to meet with me, you can add the contact information written on the back.
If you don't want to, of course it doesn't matter, as long as you don't get angry and cut off our contact.
May our friendship last forever.
Shi Mingyao”
"Mingyao..."
I have read the letter in my hand over and over again countless times.
Huo Yan sat on the window seat in the coffee shop.
He had always been calm, but now he looked nervous, his eyes constantly scanning the door of the store.
Look at your watch, it's almost the appointed time.
The heartbeat seems to be a little fast.
Huo Yan closed his eyes and took several deep breaths to meditate.
After his heartbeat stabilized, he slowly opened his eyes——
A slim girl suddenly appeared on the seat opposite him.
Her skin was extremely white, her long and smooth hair was draped over her shoulders, her facial features were beautiful and refined, her eyes were cut and she looked at him with a soft smile, and she had a bookish aura about her.
Huo Yan's lips and teeth were slightly open, and he had a vague premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard the girl ask with a smile.
"Are you Bai Yu?"
Huo Yan nodded blankly.
The girl pursed her lips and smiled, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks.
"Hello Bai Yu, I'm Shi Mingyao, we finally meet!"
Huo Yan seemed to see a flower blooming slowly in front of his eyes.
His heart was beating like a drum, and he could no longer see anyone else in his eyes, only her smiles.
The girl tilted her head and stared at him with a pair of almond eyes.
Under her focused gaze, Huo Yan felt his cheeks begin to feel hot.
"Bai Yu, you are just like I imagined."
With a smile on her lips, she spoke slowly and softly.
The sun shines on her through the glass window.
The girl's silky hair jumped with vivid luster, and her eyes were like crystal amber, clear and bright.
And you are even more beautiful than I imagined.
Huo Yan thought.
It's just that this sentence was too disgusting, and he couldn't say it.
He didn't want to appear clumsy in front of the other party, but now he was really at a loss.
It would be great if he had the eloquence of his elder brother.

After Huo Xiao had dinner, he saw Huo Yan slowly walking into the house.
The look on his face was as if he was drunk, he was staring in a daze and walking unsteadily.
It seemed that the result of meeting his pen pal today had a great impact on him.
"How is it? Is she pretty?" Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"pretty....."
Huo Yan nodded instinctively, but then felt that it was disrespectful to Mingyao, so he coughed lightly and stopped the topic.
Huo Xiao laughed at Huo Yan's pretentiousness.
Isn’t it normal to look at faces? You are not a saint, so why do you have such high requirements for yourself?
Thinking of this, a beautiful side face appeared in his mind...
Huo Yan sat on the sofa and saw the freshly brewed tea on the coffee table. He picked it up and took a sip. It was fragrant and he thought it tasted good. It would be nice to bring a can as a gift to Mingyao next time he meets her. .
"Brother, do you still have this tea at home?"
Hearing no reply, Huo Yan turned his head and looked over.
Seeing Huo Xiao leaning on the back of the sofa, his usually sharp eyes were now a little distracted, and he asked curiously: "Brother? What are you thinking about?"
His brother's dazed look was quite rare.
Huo Xiao came back to his senses, touched his chin, and changed the topic:
"...What did you do today?"
"We... had dinner together, visited a bookstore, and watched a newly released movie..."
As Huo Yan recalled today's experience, he couldn't help but smile. His eyes were gentle, and it was clear that he still had more to say.
Looking at his younger brother, Huo Xiao was in a good mood.
Huo Yan has been smart since he was a child. Although he is frail and sick, he always considers problems from the perspective of others and doesn't care much about his own feelings.
After graduating from school, he devoted his attention to creation. Apart from his family, he had little contact with outsiders.
Huo Xiao knew that he was afraid that he would cause trouble to others, and also wanted to reduce the burden on himself.
Now seeing him acting like an ordinary big boy, his heart agitated for girls, he seemed to feel something and felt relaxed.
After that day, Huo Yan and his pen pal made appointments to hang out every once in a while.
The smile on Huo Yan's face gradually deepened, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two was progressing very quickly.
So when Huo Xiao came back one night, he was not surprised to learn that Huo Yan and his pen pal had officially dated.
He smiled and pulled off his tie.
"Interview with Comrade Huo Yan, who only fell in love for the first time when he was nearly thirty years old. How does he feel now?"
Huo Yan glared at Huo Xiao, but he was indeed a blank slate when it came to relationships. After hesitating for a while, he asked his brother in a low voice what he should pay attention to when falling in love.
Huo Xiao did have several relationship experiences when he was a student.
But from falling in love to breaking up, his feelings were all as dull as water. Looking back now, even the appearance of the other person is blurred, so naturally there is nothing to say.
However, seeing how his brother was so deeply involved, Huo Xiao felt a little uneasy.
"I have nothing to do tomorrow. Let's have a meal with your little girlfriend and get to know each other." Huo Xiao suggested.
He wanted to see with his own eyes to make sure that the other party was not a person with evil intentions.
If the person is good and the family is innocent, it doesn't matter even if Huo Yan wants to marry him back home.
Their family doesn't need Huo Yan to take on the responsibility for the marriage, as long as he likes everything.
Huo Yan hesitated: "I have to ask Mingyao's opinion first..."
Look at how hopeless you are.
Huo Xiao rolled his eyes at him angrily.
