I raised my hand to wipe away the tears sliding down your cheek and softly assured, "Rest assured, no matter where you are in the next life or what you become, I will travel through a thousand mountains and rivers to find you."

A faint divine light appeared on your forehead, and you looked at me with unwavering determination, solemnly saying, "Xuanhua Town! Lu Family! After sixteen years, when I grow up, you must come to Lu Family in Xuanhua Town, Hebei, to find me."

I clenched your hand and made a promise, "I will bury myself in studying hard and aim for the top of the list. After sixteen years, I will come to Hebei in grand style and marry you with a ten-mile red bridal carriage."

Tears in your eyes, your tone carrying a bit of stubbornness and pleading, "You must come. If in the next life I forget the past and don't recognize you, you absolutely cannot give up on me. Even if I am naive and forget old feelings, you must find me. Even if you have to marry me by force, you must marry me. Do you understand?"

My heart trembled, and I nodded heavily, my voice gentle yet firm, "I have taken it all in. On this journey through the Yellow Springs Road, I will accompany you to the last leg, keep the promise, and wait for sixteen years to come and find you."
