It was said that other than Lu Xiaoyue, no one knew which school he transferred to.
In short, Silent City had completely disappeared, as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth, without a trace.
All the resentment and hatred had disappeared when the form teacher officially announced the fact that Silent Cheng had transferred schools. The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. If he didn't hate her, would he also stop loving her?
Lin Xinlan was not a submissive and indecisive person. She was so silent that she was determined to leave. She did not hesitate to cut off all contact with him. Towards Lu Xiao Yue, she no longer had the hatred from before, nor did she have the affection from before. They no longer missed each other like they used to after quarrels. They were no longer classmates, roommates, or strangers who got along strangely.
They both understood that he would always be separated from them, so they could not return to the past. Even though Mo Jingcheng had left, the class would occasionally gossip about him and Lu Xiaoyue. Lin Xinlan's entire being and heart were buried in her studies, no longer caring about anything related to him and her. Perhaps, in this life, regardless of whether they loved each other or not, they would never see each other again.
Time was the best medicine to heal emotional wounds. Perhaps, the best way to forget someone was to be busy, so busy that there was no extra time to think about that person.
It was unknown when it had started, but on the first page of the pure white wall of the classroom, there was a calendar with the words " 300 days until the college entrance examination " printed in bright red. 300 days, some long, some short. However, to Lin Xinlan, 300 days was neither too long nor too short to forget someone.
The eye-catching numbers on the calendar decreased at the speed of light. The desks that should have been neatly arranged were piled with books and revision materials, making the originally spacious and bright classroom suddenly narrow and depressing. The pressure of the college entrance examination impacted every student who was immersed in their studies.
I haven't thought of you for more than 24 hours. I bought a matcha-flavored ice cream to reward myself. The ice cream that didn't melt after entering my mouth for a long time no longer had the fragrance of matcha. I just let the bone-piercing coldness numb my taste buds. Perhaps, it wasn't just my taste buds. My heart was numb as well.
I was waiting for the sunny spring after the heavy snow, waiting for the azalea flowers to bloom all over the mountain at the end of the spring, waiting for the college entrance examination after the azalea wilted, waiting for me to finally pack up and leave this city that I never wanted to think of again.
Mo Jingcheng, if you leave, no matter how much I am reluctant, I can only let you go. When I think of you one day and my heart no longer hurts, you may no longer be in my heart.
Nothing in the world was absolute. A promise was the most absolute, most easily moved, and most easily regretful words in this world. The person who had promised to be good friends for a lifetime had now become passers-by. The person who had held her hand and said that he would only love her in this life in the azalea bushes on the mountain was now nowhere to be found.
"Student Lin Xinlan, congratulations on escaping from your misery and successfully graduating!”
Lin Xinlan had just walked out of the examination room after her last subject when Zhou Zhiwei sent her a message to congratulate her. It was finally over! Lin Xinlan looked up at the blue sky in June, but she did not feel relieved at all. The phone vibrated again. Lin Xinlan looked down at the words that popped up on the screen and fell silent for a long time.
"Little Xin, let's talk. I'll wait for you at the usual place!”
There was a line in the lyrics that read,'The you in my heart will always stay in the same place.' That song was called " Old Place."
The old place was their secret and their tacit understanding. Many memories, many stories, and many promises remained in the same place.
On June 8th, the day of the end of the college entrance examination, many people who had just fought hard were busy cheering, celebrating, and bidding farewell. The sky was clear, and there was not a single cloud wandering around. Occasionally, he would see the shadow of a bird flying across the ground. There was no one on the school football field. The gentle wind gently blew across the empty field. The long branches of the willows beside the track and field field gently danced in the wind, and the dense leaves sprinkled the ground with shade.
Lin Xinlan saw Lu Xiaoyue sitting under the shade of the tree and staring blankly at the willow branches. She had not seen her for two weeks. After the last mock exam, the class teacher said that Lu Xiaoyue's parents had applied to the school to take her home to review the college entrance examination. The nervous revision state had long replaced the desire for gossip. No one asked why Lu Xiaoyue suddenly went home. Although Lin Xinlan was puzzled, she did not think too much about it. After all, they were no longer related at that time.
This was the first time they had met face to face since they broke up. Before Lin Xinlan could think of her first words, Lu Xiao Yue looked up and saw her. She stood in front of her and was hesitating about what to say. She opened her mouth and smiled." You're here."”
She nodded and sat down beside her without saying anything.
"Little Xin, long time no see!"
"Long time no see!" She looked at her thin and slightly haggard face and paused for a moment before continuing,"You've lost weight!"
Lu Xiaoyue acted as if she hadn't heard him and shifted her gaze to the willow branch swaying in the wind. Lin Xinlan and Lu Xiao Yue sat side by side, both silent. The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that she could almost hear the sound of tears sliding from the corner of her eyes.
"Little Xin, do you still hate me?" Lu Xiaoyue's choked voice suddenly broke the silence.
Lin Xinlan turned her head and saw the tears at the corner of her eyes, only then did she confirm that it was not her imagination. She heard her question clearly, but how could she answer a question that even she herself did not know the answer to?
"Little Xin, I never wanted to hurt you. I want to explain that matter, but I can't. I can't go back on my promise. I can explain now, but I don't know how.”She took out a blue notebook from her bag and handed it to Lin Xinlan." This is what he wrote. Perhaps, it will give you a better answer."”
Lin Xinlan took the notebook and felt a pain in her heart that she had not felt for a long time. That suffocating pain only came when she thought of him. However, she had not thought of him for a long time.
"I have nothing to do with him anymore!”Enduring the pain in her heart, Lin Xinlan tried her best to restore her indifferent expression and said indifferently.
Lu Xiao Yue could not help but smile bitterly." This is exactly what he wanted. However, I have nothing to do with him. Xiao Xin, I think you have the right to know the truth!”
"The truth?"
Lu Xiao Yue glanced at her watch, then took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Lin Xinlan. Lin Xinlan took the letter from her hand, but there was not a single word on the white envelope.
She suddenly hugged her." Xiao Xin, whether you forgive me or not, please promise me that you will live a good life in the future!”
Lin Xinlan felt the wetness on her back and couldn't help but reach out to hug the thin and weak her. Lu Xiao Yue's behavior today was beyond her understanding. She was puzzled when Lu Xiao Yue let go of her." I still have to drive back. Xiao Xin, take care!"”
She quickly got up and left. Lin Xinlan quickly reacted and stood up to call out to her.
"Xiaoyue!"
When she turned around, she suddenly didn't know what to say. She looked at the blue notebook in her hand and the letter wrapped in the white envelope and said to her,"Xiaoyue, I once thought of hating you. Perhaps I really did at that time. Later, I didn't know if I still hated you, but just now, I was very sure that I didn't hate you at all. It wasn't because I didn't care, but because I didn't want to lose you again. Xiaoyue, I want to forget him completely. We agreed to be good friends for life. Do you still remember what we said back then?”
Lu Xiaoyue looked at Lin Xinlan, who had an expectant look on her face. She didn't nod or shake her head. She said,""Little Xin, if I could start over, I would never choose to lie to you!”
The figure that disappeared into the sunset was the last memory that Lu Xiao Yue left for Lin Xinlan in her youth. Many years later, when they met on a foreign street in a foreign country, they had already sealed their past in their hearts and were truly safe.
Dear Xiao Xin:
I never thought that one day I would have to say goodbye to you in this way. I held the pen and thought for a long time. It's not that I haven't thought of writing it in a more artistic way, but it's also not that I haven't thought of writing it in a more emotional way, so that my dear Xiao Xin will also shed a little heartache for me.
However, you also know that Lu Xiaoyue is not a literary fan. It would be even more clumsy to desperately pretend to be emotional. So, Xiao Xin, I've decided to follow my heart and write all the words that I've always wanted to say to you but never had the chance to say. Too many things happened before I made this decision. I know I don't have time to explain everything to you personally. Little Uncle has already helped me with all the procedures to go abroad. I have no right to resist at all.
Xiao Xin, you once said that the misfortune I encountered could be ignored. I have indeed ignored the fact that I don't have parents because I have grandparents who love me. At least, I have relatives and a very warm family. However, when I found out that I was not a child of the Lu family, but a wild child that my grandparents picked up from the roadside and raised, I could no longer ignore the misfortune that fate had brought me. I was an abandoned child. I don't even know what my real surname is or who my parents are.
Xiao Xin, do you know? When I found out that my grandfather was seriously ill, I suddenly felt that my sky was about to collapse. I always thought that it was because we were family members whose blood was thicker than water. My grandfather was my sky. Without him, I had no one to rely on and no home. When I heard my eldest uncle question why my grandfather left all his assets to me, an outsider who had nothing to do with the Lu family, my heart fell bit by bit. I had never suspected that my surname was not Lu, but when I heard it from my grandfather, I wanted to turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear from this world. Xiao Xin, the heavens really know how to joke. The home I lived in for more than ten years suddenly doesn't belong to me at all. The grandparents I called for more than ten years suddenly became people who have no blood relations with me. I was called " Lu Xiao Yue " for more than ten years. Suddenly, fate came and told me that my surname wasn't " Lu ". I was an orphan abandoned by my parents.
