The midday sun shone in through the window, and I lay on my bed, wordlessly looking at the red thread wrapped around my left wrist.

With a little black red stinging my eyes, everything I had about Ellie, everything about Ellie, was left in this red thread that was more vivid than blood.

As soon as I reach out and touch it, all the memories flood into my mind. What should have been a sweet and pleasant emotion has now become a heartbreaking poison.

Is love such a thing? Definitely not.

"Try to get them right, get their red line. Uncle Fang, what you said is such a desperate thing? ”

Muttering to myself, how I wanted to bury myself in the soft quilt. Like an ostrich, never lift your head, don't face these realities that disappoint me.

[How is Ellie doing now?] 】

Burying my head in the gray pillow, I thought of her alone.

[Ellie should be going back to school today, right? 】

Obviously, she has nothing to do with me anymore, and even her memories have been deprived by me, but I still think about her lonely.

[After Ellie saw me.。。 Will you still be smiling? 】

I remembered everything about her, her laughter, her tears, her fists, and her who was all in my memory.

"Forget it, it's none of my business anymore."

Mocking myself, I got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

Stand in front of the mirror and turn on the faucet.

Cold, night-temperature water gushed out of the faucet, and the cool tap water quickly filled the entire wash basin.

"Wow"

My whole head was buried deep in the water, and a faint feeling of suffocation stimulated my nerves.

"Wow"

Raise your head again and look at yourself in the mirror tiredly. Bloodshot eyes, drops of water slid down his cheeks, and his curly yellow hair was stained with cold water.

It's as decadent as Uncle Fang, who is full of scum on his face.

。。。。。

I always thought that people grow up slowly, but it turns out that they are not, people grow up in an instant.

。。。。。

Dressed in a white T-shirt, black shorts, and a black cap on my head, I hesitated out the door.

I don't know where I'm going, I just want to walk, and wherever I go is where I go.

The scorching midday sun in late summer and early autumn scorched the tarmac pavement. The familiar scenery in the distance, as if covered with a layer of mist, swayed at the end of the field of vision, just like me now.

Lowering the brim of my hat to hide my tired face, I walked through the less crowded streets. On the streets on weekdays, there seems to be no more people except for uncles and aunts and those unemployed vagrants.

I just didn't know where to go, but I unconsciously walked outside the school. Probably used to it, right? Accustomed to walking the old way, so subconsciously came here.

"Class is over."

Standing outside the school railing, I muttered to myself as I looked lonely at the students who walked out of the school building.

The students in sight were either laughing and playing, or anxiously walking outside the school gate to prepare for home. Looking into the small window of the school building in the distance, you can also see that there are also people in the classroom who have left their own lunches, eating and reading books.

If I hadn't been punished and suspended, I would probably have been one of them, right?

"Ugh."

Lowering the brim of my hat again, I lowered my head to avoid my classmates passing by. Yesterday's dyed yellow hair, peeking through the cracks in my hat, I just hope no one will notice me.

"Have you ever heard that song from yesterday?"

"Hahaha, isn't that the one who sang it.."

"What's going to be for lunch today."

"Let's go to that Malatang."

。。。。

The classmates who passed by me were discussing the boring topics of daily life. Of course, there is also something about yesterday.

"Ellie, have you heard? Yesterday someone scolded you on the rooftop! Do you know him? ”

"It's really fake, the old lady doesn't know that kind of person, right?"

A familiar voice sounded behind me, and the corners of my eyes twitched suddenly, and I looked behind me tremblingly.

Still with a black ponytail, still a familiar face that made my heart beat, Ellie was walking beside a girl with a smile on her face. No masks, no super short school pants, just like any regular high school girl.

"Do you really not know? I heard that he was bad at school! The juniors of high school are looking for him, Ellie, you are very arrogant, don't have anything to do with that kind of person! ”

Just like Ellie's best friend, the girl said to Ellie a little nervously.

"No~ Although the old lady is very arrogant, she also knows what to do and what not to do! And I have to work at night, isn't it troublesome to have a bad relationship? ”

Ellie smiled and patted the girl on the back as hard as she did when she was with me.

Originally.. Forget my Ellie, and don't you be lonely anymore?

"Speaking of which, I really admire you, Ellie! I have to go to class in the morning, and I have to work part-time after class. People are so beautiful again. What a perfect goddess. ”

The girl next to Elle looked envious, and said deliberately sourly, but she could also hear that she was joking.

"Cut~ There are more places where the old lady is powerful~"

Ellie burst out laughing, then put her hand on the girl's shoulder and asked:

"By the way, do you want to go to a place with my wife after class at night? By the way, call out the two top students who took them? Anyway, tomorrow weekend, we're going to go on an adventure, right? ”

"Where to go?" The girl was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"First of all, wait for the old lady to say it, don't you don't believe it."

Ellie slowly lowered her voice, and said mysteriously to the girl beside her:

"Yesterday my mother had a dream all night, and I dreamed of a ruined temple. As a result, in the morning, the old lady specially ran to the place where she had appeared in her dream to see, there was really a broken temple!! ”

"Ellie, do you still believe in this kind of thing?!"

"Really! The old lady had never been there before. ”

"Ellie, you don't believe in God, do you?"

"Let's go, let's go together."

。。。。

Watching Elle and the girl walk away step by step, I didn't move for a long time. I don't know why I should still be lonely, but I slowly smiled.

Is it?

Ellie has come out of the abyss of bad nature. With new friends, with a new way of life.

It turns out that everything I did was not useless. It's just that.. Elle has forgotten about me. I'm the only one left. Carry her memories forward.

"So it really is. That's great.. Right? ”

Little by little, tears welled up in my eyes, and I burst into tears again as I smiled.

Such.

That's enough.
