She almost forgot, she had been agonizing for so long, yet she forgot that he might not even answer her call.
Gu Yao gave a self-mocking smile.
Thinking this, she still couldn’t bring herself to hang up the phone.
Gu Yao put the phone to her ear, and apart from a bit of nervousness and anticipation, she seemed to feel nothing else.
Shangguan Yu, who was assembling the troops and preparing to head to the hotel, was a bit incredulous when he saw the incoming call display.
Yaoyao actually called him.
Knowing he shouldn’t answer, Shangguan Yu completely couldn’t control his hand.
Gu Yao was completely surprised that the call was answered.
So at the moment the call connected, Gu Yao couldn’t help but smile.
Yet in that smile, there was nothing, it was just a pure smile.
Neither of them spoke, just quietly waiting for the other, after a long while, Gu Yao uttered, "I’m getting married today."
She said it as if stating a simple fact, and this fact neither made her happy nor sad.
After these simple words, they fell into a tacit silence once again.
No one knows how long passed, until both thought the other wouldn’t speak again,
but then Gu Yao said, "Do you know Shao Yong’s calculations?"
A seemingly abrupt question to normal people, yet when Gu Yao said this, Shangguan Yu’s pupils dilated suddenly, his heart was fiercely struck by something, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
The beautiful scenes of their times together flashed before his eyes.
Shangguan Yu’s throat tightened, even making it difficult to utter a sound.
His voice was evidently off, but Gu Yao didn’t notice, as she was completely surprised by Shangguan Yu’s answer.
"You actually know." Gu Yao’s voice carried a gentle laugh, sounding especially pleasant, yet tears shimmered in her eyes.
"According to the Northern Song philosopher Shao Yong’s calculations, the events of the world will completely reoccur in 129,600 years., meaning 129,600 years later, at the same time, at the same place, I will meet you again..."
In Shangguan Yu’s mind, two voices echoed simultaneously, one was Gu Yao’s, the other was Gu Yao’s from over three years ago, two voices saying the same thing, overlapping and alternating in his mind.
Shangguan Yu’s grip on the phone tightened continuously, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end swallowed his words.

"129,600 years later, at the same time, at the same place, I will meet you again, and fall in love with you again."
This was what Gu Yao had told him before.
Gu Yao wiped the tears about to spill out of her eyes, smiling as she continued, "Shangguan Yu, for the sake of my two years of liking you, can I ask you one last thing?"
"If, I mean if, if this Shao Yong calculation turns out to be true, then could you, in 129,600 years, when you meet me, take the initiative to say ’hello’ to me. Could you, could you fall for me first..."
Gu Yao’s latter words were choked with sobs, becoming somewhat indistinct, and as she said this, the tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
"..." Shangguan Yu clenched his fist, grinding his teeth, preventing himself from making even the slightest sound.
Perhaps afraid she would regret it, or worried she might never hear Shangguan Yu’s response, Gu Yao ended the call shortly after saying this.
