Looking at the sky, today is a rare good weather, Ke Yuhan, who had just come out of the visiting room, saw Zhou Junlan waiting for him in the hall.

"Auntie went to hand over the formalities, it seems that there is some trouble, I have to fill out the form, let you wait."

Ke Yuhan nodded, and then sat down on the row of chairs.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Junlan probably guessed what he was talking about just now, at least, he really listened to his own opinion.

Zhou Junlan sat next to him, a little closer.

After chatting with Aunt Zhao that night, Zhou Junlan affirmed her determination to learn to paint, and told her father about this suggestion, and he gladly accepted it, after all, he used to take the art route, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he repeatedly asked Zhou Junlan if he was sure.

Every time, Zhou Junlan nodded solemnly.

The current Kezhong, or Yunhai City, has no Zhou Junlan to cherish and protect, she is too tired to live, for so many years, she has not lived for herself, but followed the footsteps of others. Even the person next to him still doesn't know this secret.

She chooses, with this secret, to leave his world completely.

It's time for her to live for herself.

"Zhou Junlan."

"Huh?"

Ke Yuhan took off his eyes and wiped them with wet wipes. "Why did you come here today?"

"I'm afraid you're excited."

"How can I be so immature, just say goodbye, I'll see you again in the future, so wait for a while, it's not a big deal for me."

"Yes...... Zhou Junlan exhaled and muttered, "Goodbye, is it really that easy?" .......," she turned her head and looked at Ke Yuhan, "then how do you think you should say goodbye?" ”

"A simple goodbye. But when saying goodbye, we often say goodbye, and 'goodbye' is an agreement, a promise, and an agreement to see you next time, so if you can't do it, don't say the word again. For me, if we can see each other again in the future, then there is always something to look forward to, so I don't worry too much. ”

Is it? Zhou Junlan didn't think so, Ke Yuhan really thought about everything too simply.

Saying goodbye is definitely not such a simple thing. What we say on weekdays is goodbye, looking back, and seeing you tomorrow, all of which promise to choose to meet again at a certain point in time in the future.

But the facts are quite different.

Even the person who took the initiative to say goodbye would not think that at any time, which person he said goodbye to, it would be the last time they would see each other in this life, so that he waved his hand easily, without paying much attention to the other person's face, or even his back.

They plunged into the vast sea of people, drowned in the long river of time and disappeared without a trace.

They may not be enough to talk about you, they may be important, but the fact that we will not see you again will not change, we believe it when we say goodbye, and slowly savor the bitterness in the regret of never seeing you again in the second half of our lives.

Therefore, saying goodbye is an extremely important thing, so important that if you don't pay attention to it, you may be forced to chew on the evil fruits you have planted for the rest of your days. We can't keep our promises every time, so if you can, say goodbye to your important person in a more formal and forceful way.

"Ke Yuhan." Zhou Junlan called him softly.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Thank you."

"Thank you?" Ke Yuhan was puzzled, "Thank you for what?" ”

"It's okay, I just want to say thank you to you."

Zhou Junlan raised her eyes, and in those peach blossom eyes, there were some words that couldn't be said in her mouth, and Ke Yuhan couldn't read the tenderness in those eyes.

"You're weird."

"Also?"

"It's fine." Ke Yuhan waved his hand, he remembered Xu Xuanyue, who had behaved strangely before, maybe girls were topics and books that he couldn't solve in his life, and he felt that it was too troublesome. However, the process of exploration is fascinating.

"Ke Yuhan, I'm leaving."

"Well, be careful on the road." Ke Yuhan was referring to the way home.

Zhou Junlan was a little sad, she blinked her eyes, trying not to let tears gush out of her eyes, she felt a pool of tears stuck in her throat, bitter.

"No, it's not." Zhou Junlan smiled and said, "I'm leaving, I'm going somewhere else." ”

"Don't ...... Somewhere else? ”

After thinking about it, Zhou Junlan still told Ke Yuhan about the letter from Aunt Zhao and her mother at home, however, Ke Yuhan was also the only person she could confide in besides her family. It was also a choice she made herself.

After listening, Ke Yuhan bit his lip as if he didn't believe it.

"You're leaving?"

"Yes, I'm going to learn to paint, the school has been found, according to my previous foundation, plus the school and Aunt Zhao, I will definitely be admitted to a good art university, this is the path I want to take, when I open an exhibition in the future, you must come to see it!"

This reluctant joke did not make Ke Yuhan feel a trace of joy, but the shock intensified a little, so that the glasses that he put back on slipped down, and he didn't notice to help him up again. The corners of Zhou Junlan's mouth curled up, and she gently put on his glasses.

"You...... Are you leaving? Do you want to pay it back? Ke Yuhan suddenly realized how stupid he was asking this question, but the thought that flashed through his mind was this.

Zhou Junlan raised her mouth, and her eyes were a little red, "I'm not coming back." ”

"And after that? Where will you go? ”

"I think if I get admitted to university, I will study abroad, I like France, so I plan to study in France." This is not a joke, Zhou Junlan's family has this strength, and her own painting talent is not weak.

"Abroad......" Ke Yuhan's pupils dilated, but he couldn't focus on Zhou Junlan's face.

"So I said I'm leaving, and I'm really leaving."

"yes......"

What was Ke Yuhan thinking? He himself is a mess in his head now, he doesn't know what to say, he has never been good at expressing feelings, thinking that it would be nice if he could turn his feelings into a geometric figure with a pen, but I believe that even if he can really draw it, it is so complicated that Archimedes can't understand it.

"Does anyone else know?" Ke Yuhan said.

Zhou Junlan shook her head, "No, and I don't plan to tell them, after all, it's still very troublesome to explain the complexity, so it's better to wait until I leave, and it's easier to express it through my mobile phone." ”

Is this a disguised indication that you are important? Ke Yuhan wanted to think in this direction, but he was afraid that he would be wrong and too narcissistic, but at this time there seemed to be no better explanation.

"How many ...... What, when, go? ”

"Tomorrow."

"What?" Ke Yuhan stood up directly, and the security guard patrolling next to him vigilantly held the ** on his waist and looked at him, and he had to bend down and sit back. "Leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes." Zhou Junlan said calmly, "The luggage has already been sent to the school, and the train will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"It's too fast......."

"It's okay, I'll have time to talk to you."

Ke Yuhan looked into her eyes, wanting to be sure of one thing, but he didn't have the eloquence to express it well, so he hesitantly held his head and buried his head under his knees.

He decided to ask, "Well, why are you just telling me?" ”

"Can't you?"

"Of course not, but......" he scratched his head, "I want to know why." ”

Because I like you, can I say that myself? Zhou Junlan looked at Ke Yuhan's face, she wasn't sure if this was the last look, and she didn't know if she would meet him again in the future. Now that she is going to say the most formal goodbye, shouldn't she make the ins and outs clear?

Because I used to like you, can I say that? Isn't that deceiving yourself? Unable to go either way, she fell into confusion.

"Here's why...... Look! Zhou Junlan stood up and raised her fingers, "You, I are classmates in junior high school, and classmates in high school, in terms of time, you and I have known each other for the longest time, haven't you?" Moreover, only I know the situation between you and Uncle Ke best, so I am not the most suitable to come, right? ”

"But junior high school...... We don't really know each other. ”

"Do you want to deny that you don't have a good relationship with me?" After speaking, Zhou Junlan felt that it didn't seem appropriate to say this, so she lowered her head and added: "As a ...... Friend. ”

Ke Yuhan naturally couldn't deny it, but he always felt that something couldn't be explained.

Suddenly, it was like jumping from "solution" to the answer when solving a question, Ke Yuhan's mind popped up with a conclusion that made him startle, but if it was true, it would be very troublesome. The thirst for knowledge urged him to seek the truth, and the desire to survive suppressed his mouth.

"It can't be denied." Ke Yuhan lowered his head.

"That's right! So, it's no problem for me to come. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back, or if I won't, but today you're the only one who has the opportunity to say goodbye to me in person! Zhou Junlan stood with her arms crossed, beaming.

After thinking for a while, Ke Yuhan was finally relieved, he raised his chin slightly and smiled.

"Then I'm really lucky." As he spoke, he clenched the lucky star in his pocket.

"I guess it's better for us not to say goodbye, because I'm not sure if I'll ever see you again...... And everyone. ”

"Then how am I going to say goodbye to you? Will I see you off at the station tomorrow? ”

"Hey! Don't! Zhou Junlan spread her hands and took a defensive posture, "I'm the whole car to pick you up, besides, there is still class tomorrow, don't you go to class?" ”

"So what to do?"

Zhou Junlan was also a little confused, she nodded her chin and wandered in front of Ke Yuhan. After a while, her eyes accidentally fell to the window, and her eyes lit up.

"There it is!" Zhou Junlan said, took Ke Yuhan's hand and ran to the courtyard outside the door.

Outside the door, there was a large lawn clearing, except for a lone tree on the left side of the house, on which were plump red lychees. Zhou Junlan has seen lychee trees before, but she has never seen such a huge one, no matter how you look at it, this tree is at least about 14 meters tall, and it looks weird.

Looking up from the roots, it looks like several trees have come together, and at two meters they begin to split, and begin to stretch out in all directions, each thick fork is strangely crooked, like a dancer doing strange movements. The tops of the trees are lush with foliage, covering the sky and the sun with green shade.

Zhou Junlan led Ke Yuhan under the tree, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was thick.

"What is this for?" Ke Yuhan was puzzled, he looked at the tree, and the plump red bunches on it really attracted him.

"Farewell."

"What does that have to do with this tree?"

Zhou Junlan frowned, and looked at Ke Yuhan with some blame: "As the saying goes, how you start, how you end." Do you remember the first time I met you? I told you. ”

searched in his mind, and then Ke Yuhan opened his mouth slightly. "Oh, remember, I rescued a little sparrow and was climbing a mulberry tree......"

How to start and how to end, combined with this sentence, Ke Yuhan guessed what Zhou Junlan, who was excited, asked him to do, and he smiled bitterly and took a few steps back.

"Didn't you, you let me climb a tree?"

"Yes, it's okay, it's not high, I want to eat lychees, you can help me pick a bunch." Zhou Junlan tugged on Ke Yuhan's sleeve, seemingly not planning to let him go.

"But I was here to give the little sparrow."

"It's not like it doesn't have now."

"What kind of farewell is this? It's also too formalistic. Although Ke Yuhan was disgusted like this, he didn't have the slightest strength to resist Zhou Junlan.

"Farewell is to have a sense of ceremony."

"Okay, it's ...... anyway" Ke Yuhan looked up at the distance of the canopy, and swallowed unconsciously, "It's not high anyway." ”

So, Ke Yuhan began to roll up her sleeves and prepare to climb the tree, while Zhou Junlan walked around under the tree with her head held high, and her eyes were staring at a thick branch that stretched farther away from the tree.

"There! There! Zhou Junlan pointed and shouted, "There is an oversized lychee!" ”

"Good!" Ke Yuhan didn't even raise his head, and he rubbed his hands with confidence.

"You promised so much, huh?"

"Of course, it's goodbye to you, I'm going to be serious." After speaking, Ke Yuhan squatted down and tied his shoelaces, "That...... Zhou Junlan. ”

"Huh?"

"Actually, I want to tell you something."

Zhou Junlan hesitated for a moment, and then replied pretending to be careless: "You say." ”

"You just answered my question and said that you came here because you have known me for a long time, and I accept it. But I want to tell you that you are special to me. ”

After speaking, Ke Yuhan stood up, and he saw Zhou Junlan's expression frozen.

"Yes." Ke Yuhan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "You are the most special person for me. I used to think that the three years of junior high school were not worth remembering or remembering at all, but because of you, those days began to become meaningful. Thank you for guarding me in the invisible place, and now I say goodbye to you, that is, to say goodbye to my three years in junior high school, which is the memory that I have together, and only the two of us have me, so you are very special and special to me. It's like a dead pixel in a linear distribution. ”

Ke Yuhan felt that the last sentence was really a bad scene, but looking at the tears in Zhou Junlan's eyes, she shouldn't have understood the last sentence.

"Stupid...... A sucker. Zhou Junlan choked up, turned her head away, and wiped her tears.

Ke Yuhan shook his head and smiled, and then left a sentence: "It's here!" Then he started walking towards the tree.

"Be careful."

"Hmm." Walking under the tree, he put his hand on the trunk, and the rough texture came, and he stopped.

Zhou Junlan thought he was a little scared, and just wanted to say "forget it".

"Can I ask you one more question?" Ke Yuhan's calm voice came from the front.

"Well, yes, you ask."

Turning around, Ke Yuhan's eyes were full of reluctance: "If it's me who is amorous, please forgive me, but ......" He stared at Zhou Junlan's eyes, observing the clues inside, "Do you like me?" ”

There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Zhou Junlan froze suddenly, as if she had become a tree standing quietly in the yard, she felt that her body began to get hot, something was pounding in her chest, and her nose was sour. She lowered her head slowly, to ease her emotions.

Just when Ke Yuhan thought that he had received the answer, Zhou Junlan raised his head suddenly: "Of course not!" You're thinking too much. ”

After being stunned for two seconds, Ke Yuhan smiled and began to climb up.

"Show me the way, where?"

"Top left! See? On that red branch, the largest and reddest cluster! Zhou Junlan ran to the side and pointed his finger to the densest part of the lychee tree, which was about seven meters away from Ke Yuhan, but if you count the vertical distance and the steepness of the tree, he had to be careful.

Ke Yuhan's figure gradually moved up, the roots of the lychee tree were straight at first, but it was only about two meters high, and then it began to fork, still thick and thick branches, Ke Yuhan's weight continued to weigh on it. When he lifted it up, he was able to grasp a bunch of branches, and he could find a fulcrum anywhere. He had never felt so strong before, and he gradually stepped into the shade of the trees.

"Come on!" Zhou Junlan shouted under the tree, which received a powerful response from Ke Yuhan.

"Good! I'm almost there! ”

"Awesome!"

Zhou Junlan remembered it again, thinking of the boy who shone in his eyes, his gentle but powerful arms, guarding a life.

She shouted to let Ke Yuhan know that she was still underneath, and the sadness surged in her chest, and she couldn't help covering her mouth, but it was useless, and sadness was rolling out of her eyes. She had never shouted so loudly, she choked up, and shouted Ke Yuhan's name intermittently, and she got a response every time.

Zhou Junlan's eyes were foggy, tears filled her eyes, and she thought that if she had met that boy for the first time and went up to talk, would they have become friends since five years ago?

So she shouted, "Hey, be careful." ”

"Got it!"

Zhou Junlan's hands trembled, and her whole body trembled. She thought that if she had just entered high school and had accosted him and told him all the things, would the relationship between the two have changed now?

So she shouted: "You, you just said you want to thank me, is it true!" ”

"Of course! From the bottom of my heart! ”

Zhou Junlan saw Ke Yuhan's figure still moving forward from the few gaps between the leaves, and her heart turned upside down. She thought that if, if she didn't back down, she could be a little braver, a little more decisive, a little more persistent, and shout out "I like you!" Ke Yuhan! I like you! Really like and love you very much! Do you have the qualifications to call him a "stupid melon".

So she shouted, "Thank you!" Ke Yuhan! ”

"I'm about to pick it up! You can thank me again when you get it! ”

If...... How good it would be if there were.

Zhou Junlan covered her mouth and stepped back, swallowing tears into her stomach, letting the pathos ferment in her chest, and her crying voice became smaller and smaller......

Be sure to pick it up! Be sure to pick it up! Ke Yuhan's muscles all over his body were tense, the beads of sweat on his head hit the trunk, and on his shoulders, he still didn't relax the slightest bit of strength. He knew that he was not good at expressing feelings, but he wanted Zhou Junlan to know how much he was grateful to her. She is like the bright moonlight in the night road, and you will never be aware if you don't look up.

I can't notice you, but you're there, lighting my path!

Say goodbye! Can't say goodbye enough! Ke Yuhan gritted his teeth, his hand was still two centimeters away from the farewell gift, he didn't want to accept the lie, if he said goodbye! Then we must see you again!

At that moment, he felt his feet slip and could no longer stand. In his sight, the string of lychees was moving away from him, and he was ruthless, jumped over, and grabbed it in the palm of his hand. However, his body also fell straight down, and he fell heavily to the ground.

It didn't hurt very much, Ke Yuhan felt strange, raised his head, and saw that the so-called tallest branch here was only more than two meters above the ground, and the soil on the ground was much softer than he imagined, which played a good role in buffering.

With his clenched hand open, the plump lychees lay intact on his chest.

"Haha!" Ke Yuhan was overjoyed, turned his head, and held the lychee high, "Zhou Junlan!" I ......"

But beside him, there was no one around.
