The second semester of the second year of junior high school, the third monthly exam.

At this time, just after the beginning of summer, the weather is slowly getting hotter, and there is a lush atmosphere everywhere.

During the school exam, Lin Yi had returned to his original state, smiling, pretending to be cool, and being handsome. This also made Wu Fan and Su Can slowly relax in their hearts, thinking that he had come out of the pit of their mood.

But after the exam, Lin Yi immediately asked for leave, and there was no news for four or five days, which made Wu Fan and Su Can suspicious again and worry about him.

Lin Yi also called the two of them, telling them that they were fine, but they just wanted to recuperate at home. At the same time, he also informed the two of them of their own addresses and invited them to be guests.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the blink of an eye, on Friday, Wu Fan and Su Can decided to go to see Lin Yi as planned. For this reason, the two also made a rare trip to the flower shop.

Neither of them had ever been to the flower shop much, and they would be dazzled for a while, Wu Fan finally took a bouquet of tender yellow daisies by feeling, and Su Can was still intently observing all kinds of different flowers.

Suddenly, Su Can saw a bouquet of purple flowers in the corner, the flowers were delicate and abnormal, but the branches were covered with sharp green thorns, which looked beautiful and dangerous.

"This, is it a rose? How does it not look like it? ”

"This is the Purple Rose." The florist replied politely, "There are many fairy tales with its shadow, such as the castle of Sleeping Beauty, which was entangled in roses and fell asleep for a hundred years, before finally waking up under the rescue of the prince." The florist lady had a happy smile on her face, and it seemed that she was yearning for fairy tales.

"That's right." Su Can nodded straight when he listened.

"In fact, there are many kinds of roses, pink, red, white, yellow, purple, and different roses also have different flower languages. Pink generally represents the promise and vow of love, red is passionate love, white represents pure love, yellow is suitable for sending friends, purple is somewhat bad, generally represents imprisoned love and secret love do not become like this. The florist lady told me eloquently.

"That's why this bouquet of flowers is placed in the corner, after all, there are not many people who use purple roses, and they are a little unlucky, doesn't that mean?" After listening to this, Su Can analyzed it carefully.

"You're smart, little brother." The florist lady smiled.

Su Can's face flushed.

Wu Fan was stunned on the side.

He didn't listen much to the content of the conversation, and his mind was overturned. He looked at the purple thorny flowers, as if he saw a huge purple-red rose blooming from the sky, the flowers were in the sky, the vines were entangled, and the figure of a person was densely wrapped...... Lin Yi.

"Let's go, it'll be dark in a while." Wu Fan panicked for no reason, and urged Su Can, who was still enjoying the flowers.

Su Can looked at the sun that lit up at four o'clock in the afternoon, and was speechless for a while, but he still let him say goodbye to the flower shop.

On the way, Su Can asked breathlessly: "What are you anxious about, it's still early, how can it be the same as urging life." Wu Fan didn't stop, but said worriedly: "I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Su Can rolled his eyes and ignored him.

The two of them walked briskly for twenty minutes, and finally arrived at the place. Looking around, there was only one single-family villa in front of me. The tall building was full of light, and through a large iron gate, you could see the vast green courtyard, and Su Can, who had better eyes, also saw a touch of blue - it was probably a swimming pool.

"Wrong?" Wu Fan looked at Su Can in surprise, and then looked down at the address recorded, "That's right, that's what the address says." ”

Su Can was also confused, "I knew that his family was rich, but I didn't expect his family to be so rich." ”

Fortunately, a servant opened the door next, welcomed the two into the house, took the two of them for a while, and finally arrived at Lin Yi's room.

Lin Yi looked at the two of them with a smile, only wearing pajamas and slippers, and the long bangs covered his eyes as always, looking without any pathology, "Are you guys here?" ”

"You guy, it turns out to be a big tyrant." Wu Fan smiled and handed over the bouquet.

Su Can carefully inspected the room. The room was large, but it was filled, with a golden grand piano in the center and huge bookshelves lined with books.

"With such a big room, don't you feel empty when you're alone?" Su Can asked curiously.

Lin Yi smiled bitterly, "Don't say it, what you said is quite right, it's too big, sometimes I can't sleep at night, I feel like space." Then he relented, "Let's take you around, and then I'll treat you to something to eat." ”

Wu Fan has been observing Lin Yi's various performances, and found that he is normal today, and his mood is not low, and the occasional wry smile is still in the nature of a joke, which is normal, so he relaxed.

After visiting the villa and eating snacks, Lin Yi delivered them to the door, and at the same time handed the two of them a thick envelope.

"I don't want to go out for the time being, so please help me hand it to Li Yu in Class 7." Seeing Wu Fan's confusion, Lin Yi smiled, "My elementary school classmate, Su Can also knows him." ”

"Oh~" Wu Fan suddenly realized, "Could it be your ......?"

Lin Yi's face was a little ashamed, and he pretended to be serious: "I believe in you, you can't peek." ”

Su Can and Wu Fan nodded solemnly.

On the way home, Su Can weighed the envelope in his hand, hesitated for a long time, and said to Wu Fan: "I think it's better for us to open it and take a look." ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Fan saw Su Can's rare serious appearance, without a playful look.

"I also feel that Lin Yi is suddenly a little wrong, but I can't say what is wrong." Su Can's brows tightened.

"Why are you suspicious now?" Wu Fan patted Su Can on the shoulder, he was very worried about Lin Yi before, but after some previous exchanges and conversations, he found that Lin Yi was actually quite normal.

"It's also huh." Su Can scratched his head, "It is estimated that eighty percent of him and Li Yu still have something to do." After thinking about this, Su Can returned to his heartless appearance and strode forward.

Later, this act of keeping the promise became a deep guilt and pain in the hearts of the two of them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Saturday the next day, the two went to Li Yu's house with an envelope.

Lin Yi, Su Can and Li Yu are elementary school classmates, so even if Su Can and Li Yu can't talk about how good their relationship is, they are still familiar with each other.

Li Yu is a relatively lively and cheerful girl, with short ear-length hair, dark and bright eyes, and a beautiful face. She warmly invited the two into the house, and thoughtfully entertained the two of them, taking care of them.

No wonder Lin Yi likes her. Wu Fan thought secretly.

After chatting for a while, the two explained their intentions.

Originally, Li Yu was still smiling and chatting with the two, and the atmosphere was lively. But as soon as he heard the word "Lin Yi", his smile froze, his eyes widened and he was stunned for a moment, his expression was complicated, and then he took the envelope with a wry smile.

Seeing this, the two said goodbye with interest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At about seven o'clock in the evening, when Wu Fan was sleepy in front of his homework, a hurried phone call woke him up.

"Wu Fan, come on! Something happened! We meet at the florist! Wu Fan's remaining sleepiness was immediately driven away by Su Can's anxious voice, and he put on his slippers and ran out, feeling suddenly, as if something wanted to rush out.

"What's wrong?" Wu Fan ran wildly all the way, and when he arrived at the place, he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he asked Su Can anxiously.

"I don't know how to say it, you ask Li Yu." Su Can's face was full of anxiety.

Wu Fan saw that Li Yu and Su Ya were also here, but Li Yu had been crying softly, and Su Ya was comforting her. A bad premonition suddenly flashed in his mind, his chest was so tight that he couldn't speak, he stepped forward, pressed Li Yu's shoulder, and shook it vigorously.

"In the end...... What's wrong! The last three words were almost shouted.

Li Yu's suppressed cry suddenly broke out, handed the paper ball in his hand to Wu Fan, and then fell on Su Ya's body and cried bitterly.

Wu Fan opened the crumpled paper in a panic, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he unconsciously tore a few holes in the paper, he didn't have time to read the dense handwriting on it carefully, and his eyes focused on the bottom of the paper, a few lines blurred because of Li Yu's tears:

“…… Suddenly I remembered a poem, as the last words for you:

I know that the sound of my Dada's hooves was a mistake

I'm not a returner, I'm a passerby.

Oh, it's a pity that I'm still too greedy to bear to end like this, just like the naïve us who used to be naïve couldn't bear the collapse of those childish vows. Husband heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things, it turns out that even if it is a temporary residence, will it be reluctant to stay for a long time? But I'm really not a qualified returnee, and I can't always be by your side. I'm just a passer-by who doesn't belong to this world.

Hopefully, in that world that belongs to me, I can still remember you.

Sure you can remember.

Bye.

Maybe it's ...... never to be seen again."

Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, then rubbed the paper ball and ran frantically towards Lin Yi's house, completely ignoring the three people behind him.

When he arrived, all he saw was the daylight of the villa, the soft wailing, and the shrill siren of an ambulance.

He was drained of his strength and froze in place, at a loss.

Then the four of them walked to the hospital together, panting and calm, usually only twenty minutes away, and they walked for a full hour.

I'm afraid to face it, but I still have to face it.

Lin Yi drowned in his own swimming pool. Afterwards, the doctor found out that it should be an accident caused by cramps, probably because of the sudden stimulation of the body when he went down to the pool just after eating. Lin Yiyou has been swimming for so many years, and finally neglected this time.

Lin Yi's parents filled in the swimming pool, sold the villa, and left all their sad memories to go abroad, leaving only Lin Yi's tombstone standing silently in the cemetery.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later, when Wu Fan and Su Can went to sweep the tomb, Su Can bought a bouquet of roses very uninterestingly. Wu Fan impulsively punched Su Can, then hid his face and cried guiltily.
