Following Lin Jiayi's words, an image of her slowly sketching on a piece of white paper appeared on the computer screen.
"After my first love left me, I lived in his shadow for eleven whole years, unable to walk out of it. Eventually, he appeared in my world once more. There were many things that I couldn't understand back then, but as I slowly calmed down and looked back on the past, I realized that God still loved me.
"If God hadn't sent him back to me, perhaps today, which I thought was the anniversary of his death, I would still be sad. I would still be drunk, and I would still be in agony, replaying the beautiful scenes of our past over and over again.
"In truth, after our reunion, I couldn't find the feelings that I yearned for in him anymore. I thought that I might have truly loved him back then, but in the end, the only thing I loved was the story between him and me. That's because it's hard to forget regretful things.
"The sun here is really bright today, and when I was taking a photo under the sun, I suddenly felt a strong urge to return to my country. I wanted to return to Beijing, the smoggy and foggy winter. I wanted to eat the xiaolongbao from the Southern City, the Cantonese cuisine from the Western City, the crayfish from the Eastern City, and the Sichuan poached fish from Beijing. I thought about all sorts of things, but in the end, I realized that there was a person that I really wanted to meet.
"The weather today isn't too good. It's been a gloomy and gloomy day, and it even started snowing heavily in the afternoon … But while it's snowing, it's always beautiful, but it's also very cold. While I was sipping on some hot water, I suddenly missed the heating in Beijing, and I suddenly felt an urge to buy a return ticket back to Beijing.
"I'm going to fly to America today, and I'm already at the airport … Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I'm going to celebrate it with my friends.
"Look, America is bustling on Christmas Eve, just like our Spring Festival. I decorated a Christmas tree with my friends, and it's beautiful, isn't it? Tonight, when I was pasting a wishing note on the Christmas tree, the three words I wrote were the name of the person I really wanted to meet. At that moment, I suddenly felt like I was certain of something. I always thought I was moved, but I realized that wasn't the case. I thought I was looking for someone else's comfort because of the failure of a relationship, but in the end, I realized that wasn't the case. I seriously tried to see through my own heart, and I realized that maybe the person I really wanted to meet was already very important to me a long time ago. Maybe the story between me and my first love didn't only change him, I also changed. I can't find the feeling I once wanted in him. Maybe he could give me the romance I wanted when I was young, but I'm already thirty years old. I want stability, I want warmth, I want comfort. This is what my first love can't give me. "
"Christmas Eve has passed, and today is Christmas Day. In the first second of Christmas, I can't wait to end this journey again, and I want to return to Beijing, because I miss him."
The video came to an abrupt end, and a line of handwritten Song characters appeared on the screen: Navigator, Merry Christmas.
Xia Shangzhou stared at the image of Lin Jiayi standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a very long time. Eventually, he couldn't help but reach out to touch her face on the screen, and as he did so, his lips curled up into a smile. "Merry!"
