Chapter 40: A Silent Farewell I
Early morning.
The sun rises, gilding the boys and girls with a pale layer of gold. The two opened their eyes from their sleep and looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.
They stood up from the rooftop and moved their bodies, which had become somewhat stiff from the night's sitting.
"Good morning." Lin Lexuan kissed her forehead.
Xie Wanshu stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips lightly.
The breeze blew the corners of their clothes. They stared at each other in the early morning sun, and there was a sound of walking in the hut below, it should be Lin Xiangyu and they had already gotten up.
But they didn't leave here.
Lin Lexuan kissed the girl's soft lips again, and after a long time, he let go of the blushing girl and said softly: "Let's go down first, I don't know what time it is." ”
The girl nodded gently, she took Lin Lexuan's hand and walked down the stairs.
In the house, the other three children were already up. Xie Mengqi was making breakfast, Lin Xiangyu was lying on the ground doing push-ups, and Lin Muhan was standing in front of the window, not knowing what was looking at in the distance.
Seeing the two of them coming down, Lin Xiangyu stood up and smiled ambiguously: "Was your face cold last night?" ”
Xie Wanshu's face flushed and said, "Of course it's not cold in your coat." ”
"You're down, Wanshu come and help me cook!" Xie Mengqi saw the two of them appear, and said to Xie Wanshu with a smile.
The girl stuck out her tongue at Lin Lexuan, let go of his hand and walked to the kitchen.
Seeing Xie Wanshu walk into the kitchen, Lin Xiangyu approached Lin Lexuan and asked with a wicked smile, "What were you doing up there yesterday?" ”
"Guess." Lin Lexuan replied angrily and walked to the bedroom.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Xiangyu asked.
"Make up for sleep, call me for breakfast!"
The bedroom door slammed shut. Lin Muhan stopped looking into the distance, he glanced at Lin Xiangyu, and the two showed a knowing smile.
The difference is that Lin Muhan's smile doesn't know why there is a hint of obscenity, while Lin Xiangyu's eyes have a hint of bitterness.
…………………………………………
A day without nutrition is always long. Anyway, they couldn't leave the hut, except for Xie Wanshu, a few children were talking like this, watching the sky outside the window gradually darken.
Xie Wanshu locked herself in the bedroom, not knowing what she was doing.
"It's dark so early today."
At this time, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Lin Xiangyu frowned and said.
"I told you a long time ago, I saw a big black cloud yesterday drifting towards this side again, and there may be a heavy rainstorm tonight." Lin Muhan had a confident expression.
"I've found that you've been a little less pumped since you awakened your visual abilities." Lin Xiangyu glared at him. Hearing Lin Xiangyu's words, Lin Lexuan, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Lin Muhan and nodded thoughtfully.
"Xiang Yu is right, gag your mouth."
Xie Mengqi, who was sitting next to Lin Muhan, glared at him and stuffed a cherry into Lin Muhan's mouth.
A faint hint of happiness quietly flashed in Lin Muhan's eyes, he snorted triumphantly, chewed the cherry in his mouth, and looked at Lin Xiangyu and Lin Lexuan glaring at him.
At this time, Xie Wanshu walked out of the bedroom, she was wearing a loose coat, and said to the others: "Everyone, I want to go to the rooftop, the heavy rain weather is suitable for me to practice the telekinesis field." ”
"Will you use me to accompany you? You've been in your bedroom all day today, what's uncomfortable? ”
Lin Lexuan asked, ignoring the ambiguous eyes of the others in the room.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. I'll be down in a moment. ”
Xie Wanshu gave him a reassuring look, Lin Lexuan nodded, he smiled softly at the girl, and then turned his head.
The girl walked up the stairs, and she looked back at the crowd, her eyes filled with love and nostalgia so strong that it was almost impossible to hide. But several children had already continued to chat, and even Lin Lexuan turned his head and didn't notice the expression on her face.
"This could be ...... It's the last time I've seen you in this time. ”
The girl barely managed to calm her emotions and didn't let the words come out. She resisted the urge to turn back, and walked up the stairs heavily.
And several children didn't know Xie Wanshu's state at this time, and just as they spoke, the girl's figure disappeared at the staircase.
…………………………………………
Rooftop.
Xie Wanshu knelt on the ground, she trembled and stroked the ground where the two had sat in the morning, as if she wanted to feel the residual temperature on the stone slab again.
"I don't know if you'll forgive me, and I don't know if you'll forgive me. But there are so many questions out there waiting for me to answer, and I really want to choose my destiny again. Sorry ......"
The heavy rain drowned out the girl's faint, heart-rending cry, mixed with the tears that flowed from her face.
"I'm sorry...... But for the sake of those who are still waiting for me outside, I have to do this......"
After a long time, she wiped away her tears and pulled out a lighter.
She opened her hand, and the business card that Feren had given her appeared in the palm of her hand, and she lit it as it burned in the flames. The ashes fell, and the space in front of her twisted, and a sealed brown paper bag fell to the ground.
Xie Wanshu tore open the paper bag, and inside was a Browning pistol, a high-density alloy dagger, a pair of military boots, an ordinary Swatch watch, a few compressed biscuits and a small bottle of mineral water, an army-green sports hoodie, a transparent ball, and a letter.
She opened the envelope, and there were only a few words inside:
"The hoodie can be temporarily invisible when the zipper is fully closed, and the garment has enough power to last for eight hours. The soles of military boots are specially treated to prevent footprints and odors from being left behind. I made the ball myself, and crushing it will teleport you to 500 meters in any direction you travel. As for the Yanhuang watch in your hand, I think you should remember that I taught you how to crack it some time ago, and with your ability level, it's not that hard. But just to prevent you from forgetting, here is the cracked picture of the watch. Someone will pick you up outside the base, light the card and they will appear, but inside the base, you can only rely on yourself. ”
She finished reading the letter, poured the envelope down, and a business card that was exactly the same as before fell into her hand.
The yellowish flames engulfed the envelope and the stationery, and she watched the ashes be blown away by the strong wind and looked back at the hut below the stairs.
Listening to the faint sound of talking in the room, the look of nostalgia appeared in her eyes for the last time.
The next moment.
The watch slipped off the girl's wrist, and she put on her hoodie, her figure disappearing under the gloomy sky.
