Chapter 512: 467 Even if there’s only one breath left, please live well and then watch me closely!
May 26, 202X, Song Lili came to Anlin to study high school and rented a house outside. I was very glad she didn’t live with our family, which saved a lot of trouble. I just couldn’t bring myself to like Song Lili.
Today, Brother Wen Nian successfully got elected as a councilman. His news could be seen in the newspapers and on TV. He is the youngest councilman in our country.
I am really proud!
Many people on the internet say they like Brother Wen Nian. I’m quite smug because I’ve known Brother Wen Nian since I was very young, way earlier than all of them! Plus, I will make myself the one who Brother Wen Nian likes the most through my efforts!
Song Xiangqiao, keep it up! You can do it!
October 3, 202X, today Brother Wen Nian came to our house for dinner, this being the first time since he became a councilman. After dinner, we watched a military-themed movie together. Although I’m not very fond of it, just watching a movie with Brother Wen Nian made me quite content!
March 9, 202X, time flies so fast. Song Lili is about to graduate from high school. Today, Dad asked her over the phone which university she wanted to apply to. She didn’t even have the idea to fill out the university entrance application.
Dad was a bit disappointed after hanging up the phone, but Mom comforted him by saying that kids will have their own thoughts when they grow up and maybe they just don’t want to talk too much with their parents.
Soon, Mom shifted the topic to me. I excitedly told Dad that I want to become a diplomat and work at the President Mansion. Dad looked so surprised, as if he couldn’t believe that I had such aspirations.
Comparing me with Song Lili, Dad seemed a bit relieved.
Today I also sent an email to Brother Wen Nian, hoping he’d take care of himself amidst his busy work and get more nutrition.
Brother Wen Nian replied to me, "Thank you, Sister Xiangqiao."
Even though it was just a few common words in the email, I could imagine the gentle tone of Brother Wen Nian while saying it.
Just thinking about it makes my heart race uncontrollably.
I think... I want to be Brother Wen Nian’s wife.
...
March 28, 202X, the elections ended, and Brother Wen Nian defeated his opponent Zhuo Ting by a narrow margin, becoming the new President of country G.
At 26, Brother Wen Nian became the youngest president in the history of country G.
I’m still trembling all over with excitement, and my hand shakes as I hold the pen.
Oh, my God, how can my Brother Wen Nian be so outstanding! There’s no way there could be another person as outstanding as Brother Wen Nian in this world!
I have so many things I want to say to Brother Wen Nian, but... I’ve realized that he stands on a platform that’s just too high.
Even if I tiptoe and stretch my arms, I seem unable to reach.
Mom told me that the parents of Brother Wen Nian have already started arranging his marriage... Mom said that the elders of the Wen Family have really high standards and demands, and I’m still too young... I might not be able to wait until I grow up a bit more; Brother Wen Nian might already belong to someone else.
I am very discouraged.
But... I’ve thought it over, being with Brother Wen Nian is my ultimate goal for this life!
Even if he marries someone else now, I will make him fall in love with me in the future.
Song Xiangqiao, what you need to do is make yourself better, even better, the best, so outstanding that Brother Wen Nian simply can’t ignore you!
I’ve made up my mind!
March 29, 202X, strange, today Song Lili suddenly came back. She seems different from before; it really caught me off guard.
Today, Brother Wen Nian also came home. I wanted to give him the gift I had prepared, but he... refused it.
I feel... the things I’ve been unwilling to confront are now right before my eyes.
Mom says, as long as you try hard, as long as you are willing to put in twice, even countless times more effort, you can achieve what you want...
Mom says, you need to look further ahead and not only focus on the present, as life is a tug of war.
I’ll listen to Mom.
...
Song Lili closed Song Xiangqiao’s notebook, placed her hands together on her legs, pressing on the notebook in between her hands.
She closed her eyes, her forehead gently resting on the notebook...
The majority of the content, detailing the events regarding her and Wen Nian, meticulously recorded, even including the smallest uttered particles from Wen Nian... it all held utmost importance in her eyes.
