Chapter 15: Tan Miao's departure

Tan Miao was going to his father's company for an internship, and he tried his best to persuade Paper Kite to work in City C with him, but Paper Kite categorically refused, because Paper Kite had decided to go to City A for development in the past two years. The two had a big quarrel about this, and Tan Miao was very angry. Paper Kite has never seen him lose his temper so much since he met him. But even so, it can't shake the determination of the paper kite. Tan Miao saw that the paper kite, and the little kite had no choice but to give up.

On the afternoon of leaving, Tan Miao said that he wanted the paper kite to accompany him and go shopping one last time. The two walked like this, neither of them spoke, and they were silent and stalemate with each other.

"When are you leaving?" Paper Kite was the first to break the silence.

"On the train at four o'clock this afternoon, are you really not going to go to City C with me?"

"Well, no, when you get to City C, you take care of yourself."

"What's wrong? Crying? Tan Miao had obviously discovered the paper kite's move.

"Where?! It's just a small bug flying in the eye. ”

……

"It's getting late, it's time for me to go back to get my luggage and get ready to go to the station."

"I'll send you there!"

"Okay."

Tan Miao pulled the suitcase with one hand, and quietly held the paper kite's hand with the other. Paper Kite looked at him in surprise, instinctively wanting to withdraw his hand.

"Don't move! Just let me hold your hand here for once. It's been a dream of mine for four years. After a while, I'll just let it go, okay? ”

Paper Kite's hand froze and looked at Tan Miao blankly. Tan Miao's gaze kept looking ahead, without any expression on her face. The paper kite felt the temperature of his palm and felt the beating of his pulse. The two were silent all the way, silent......

When she arrived at the train station, Tan Miao finally let go of the paper kite's hand and smiled at the paper kite.

"Little kite, go back, I'm leaving!"

"Will you go back to City A to see me?"

"Not anymore!"

"Why?!"

"There is Xia Yang there, and Lu Xi, you won't be alone, and you don't need me anymore."

Paper Kite-chan looked at Tan Miao's cold and resolute face, gritted her teeth angrily, and held back her tears. "How do you know...... How do you know I don't need you! You, like them, are important to me! You...... How can you do that. The paper kite choked up, and she couldn't cry anymore. Tan Miao reached out to help the paper kite, wiped the tears on her face, and brushed the messy hair on her forehead, at that moment, the paper kite, she really wanted to hug him tightly and cry bitterly. But the paper kite didn't dare, and couldn't!

"I'm leaving, you take care of yourself!"

This is the first time that the paper kite has seen Tan Miao's back. In the past, Tan Miao would not walk in front of him, at most, he would only stand side by side with him. And when the paper kite, when she really saw Tan Miao's back, she was so sad and sad, and tears couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks. This free and loose boy, this flamboyant boy eventually stayed away from her world.

After sending Tan Miao away, Paper Kite also packed her luggage and prepared to leave the city where she had stayed for four years, leaving the city that had brought him countless joys.

In the evening, Tan Miao's roommate brought Paper Kite's box of things, saying that Tan Miao specially asked him to hand it over to Paper Kite when he left.

Inside the box was an album, a letter. The album is full of photos of Paper Kite's childhood in various places, which were obviously taken secretly by Tan Miao, including the photo with the snowman that Paper Kite kite knew.

The paper kite-girl opened the letter, and every word on it made her sad and shocked:

Little kite, when you read this letter, I had already left City B and was on my way to City C. I took that album for you, so I'll take it as a souvenir for you. Originally, I wanted to take it with me to City C, but then I felt that it didn't belong to me in the first place, and it was just my wishful thinking that I kept it with me for so many years, and it was time to return it to you.

I don't know when, but I said I wouldn't lose someone I liked. But I was wrong, and in the end I lost the person I loved the most, because she didn't belong to me in the first place!

I can't remember when I started liking you, maybe it was by the pond in my house, you sat quietly next to me, you made me feel that the pond was no longer scary, so that I was no longer lonely. I began to look forward to seeing you every day, and I began to want to rush to the classroom. Do you know how happy I was when I sent you home alone? Although I have been walking behind you, even if I only see your back, I am happy that day. You are just like me on the surface, laughing and carefree, but in fact, you want to cover up the loneliness and pain in your heart, but I am different from you, I will not live in the past, and you will only be sad in the past alone, remembering in loneliness. You always put yourself in the pain of the past and can't get out.

I know that you have liked Xia Yang since you were a child, because he gave you the warmth of the sun throughout your childhood, I originally thought that if you left Xia Yang, you would slowly forget him and slowly like me, I began to try not to walk behind you anymore, I wanted you to see me more, but I was still wrong!

Xia Yang has been planted in your heart since childhood, and time will only make the vine of longing continue to grow, not let it rot in the soil. And I'm just another seed that has fallen outside of your closed heart. Although I hurriedly faded my seed clothes, eager to enter your heart to sprout and grow, I found that I couldn't pry open the door of your heart with all my strength, and I could only die alone in the sun and wind and sand.

But you know what? There is a girl who loves Xia Yang more than you, she gave up her college dream for Xia Yang, and is willing to accompany him to live a turbulent life, no matter which of you will be with Xia Yang in the end, please don't hurt each other, because everyone can't afford to hurt !!

Tan Miao

The paper kite's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and it was a little breathless. Tan Miao's letter moved her, but it also made her more and more sad.

Paper Kite: knew that the girl Tan Miao was talking about was Lu Xi. Indeed, Lu Xi loves Xia Yang more than herself, she gave up a stable life and is willing to accompany Xia Yang to live a turbulent life, what qualifications does she have to make this girl sad again?

The paper kite curled up silently at the head of the bed, looking at the stars outside the window. Tears fell again.

Paper Kite, who came to City A alone with his bags on his back, rented the room opposite Xia Yang. During the day, Xia Yang and Lu Xi went to work, and at night, Paper Kite ate with them.

The work was far from going as smoothly as expected, due to professional reasons, coupled with no experience, Paper Kite was rejected by several companies one after another, and began to gradually become depressed. On QQ, the paper kite told Xia Yang about his troubles, and Xia Yang often taught the paper kite how to do it as a passerby. Paper Kite looks at the lights in the Xia Yang house opposite every day, feeling very warm and happy, and every time when the light goes out, Paper Kite goes to bed.
