It's 7 a.m., and it's a prime time for students and workers alike to rush to their destinations. The streets are bustling with traffic, and in the short time since the first rays of the morning sun rise, the city is at its most vibrant of the day.

It should be the most energetic time of the day, but the girl walks on the way to school with a low mood, and it may not be easy to detect when she looks at it from a distance, and when she gets closer, she will be alert to the melancholy aura that emanates from her body.

It is like a small flower that sways in a stormy night and is devastated by the wind, but it still stands tall in such a harsh environment with its fragile rhizome and tenacious stubbornness, which is really easy to make people feel a state of pity.

This made countless gentlemen stop and turn around, wanting to come forward to talk, but they didn't know how to speak.

Another youthful and joyful figure came running from behind, stealing the gentlemen's attention in an instant—and at the same time robbing them of the opportunity to come forward and talk.

The supple black hair crossed the air in a graceful arc, and the movements of a girl as light as a bird flew from the street.

Unlike the melancholy Shan Rou, a girl full of vitality pounced on her back from behind, with subtle force that could startle her without falling. This is the tacit understanding cultivated by years of friendship, as a rather beautiful but still ordinary student girl Shan Rou, it is common to have two or three best friends like ordinary people.

One of Shan Rou's best friends: Xu Ziyun.

Glued up from the direction of the back, the faces are close together, and the body is seamlessly combined, and the action posture that makes ordinary people feel ashamed is just a unique game for girls with deep feelings.

"I'm in a bad mood early in the morning, and I can smell your melancholy and rotten breath a few meters away. Describing a young girl in her youth as "rotten", the girl named Xu Ziyun is really beyond her delicate appearance.

But because they are quite familiar friends with each other, Shan Rou didn't care too much.

She didn't say anything, she just gave Xu Ziyun a weak smile. Today is the third day of Han Tuo's leave, and every time I see the empty seat, I have an uncomfortable feeling like a needle piercing my heart that I can't erase and can't hide.

Its sad shadow barrier is so obvious that it can be seen with the discerning eye.

"Really, Rou. Still lying on Shan Rou's back, the lively girl muttered softly, "It's just a leave, as for being so worried." ”

"Anyway, the boys in the class are all a kind of virtue, and they are as lustful as they are in estrus all year round. A delicate beauty like Xiaorou doesn't want to turn herself into fat and send it to the mouth of the big bad wolf. ”

"But the big bad wolf is gone. The girl's voice is like raindrops lapping on the rocks, and it is crisp to listen to, but it gives birth to a lonely emotion out of thin air, "Then there is no happiness as fat." ”

Xu Ziyun seemed to want to say something, but she was obviously stunned when she glanced at the girl's face from the corner of her eye, and then swallowed back what she wanted to say.

The face of the girl in her arms appeared as if she was standing on the edge of the windowsill, and had not received a letter from her husband who had gone out to fight for a long time, such a wively longing and terrified expression. It's like the frightened and helpless expression of a soaking wet puppy looking for its owner in the light under the street lamp on a rainy night.

As long as it's a creature with rolling blood, no one can't be impressed by such a look.

"Ahhh~~" Xu Ziyun expressed her love for her friend with her actions, hugged her tighter, and rubbed her face against her neck, hoping that this would give her best friend warm strength, "Poor Xiaorou." ”

The young girl in her prime interacted with each other on the side of the street, and all the males who passed by stopped to watch and swallowed deeply for it.

In the warm embrace, Shan Rou remembered Han Tuo again.

I remembered the time spent together for more than ten years, remembered his familiar voice, remembered the agreement he made with his fingers, and remembered the roar that penetrated into his bone when the steel beast was about to crash into him.

"That's my girl!!"

With just six words and a sentence, it was like a thunderbolt hitting me, and I felt numb from head to toe. At that time, I wanted to respond loudly to his feelings, wanted to pour out my thoughts for more than ten years, and wanted to cry into his arms, even if death was imminent.

However, there was no time to tell anything, and the figure of the most precious person disappeared with a dazzling blue light.

He was never seen again.

After that, it was Hantuo's mother who comforted herself in pain on the spot, and explained it softly. It was only later that she realized that the bystanders who were screaming at the scene of the accident had left as if nothing had happened. It's like a gear with a staggered line, which has been forcibly pulled back to its original position by some supernatural force, and has returned to the trajectory of normal operation in the past.

Although he had a hunch that all the people in the Han family were not ordinary people, the final truth was still beyond his hunch.

Han Tuo's mother understood some of what she said and some didn't, although she still dispelled the suspicion of this supernatural phenomenon, but the guilt of Han Tuo's worry did not diminish a little bit because of this.

"So, it's not your fault, kid, you don't have to blame yourself for it. "I remember Aunt Marissa stroking her head to persuade herself.

"Yes...... But!"

"Well, let's think about it this way. As if thinking of a good way, Marissa clapped her hands happily, "The girl named Shan Rou is the 'treasure' of the boy Hantuo, so whatever Tuo does, it is just a legitimate act of protecting his own will." ”

"So, as a 'treasure', wait for him to come back, okay?"

“...... Yes!" Shan Rou nodded fiercely in a choked voice.

So another day passed, followed my friends into school, greeted familiar classmates with a smile mechanically, studied more desperately to divert attention, worked so hard that I buried my head in the stacks of books all day, and even looked up flawlessly and moved around.

Only I know, and when I look back, I will see the empty seat on my lower left. I was too scared to look back.

When the teacher announced the end of class, he stayed until the whole class was gone, Shan Rou slowly got up, turned around and sat on the seat that was originally Han Tuo.

The girl rubbed the table lightly, as if caressing her lover's delicate cheek, as carefully as if she were caressing the most precious treasure in the world.

It wasn't until the day he lost it that he realized how luxurious the time he had spent in the days when he was once able to walk side by side with him. It is a happy time that can be exchanged without hesitation no matter what you give.

"Stupid, where the hell did you go? "Touching and stroking, Shan Rou finally cried uncontrollably," ...... Stupid, come back soon......"

With her back against the wall outside the classroom, Xu Ziyun, who was quietly waiting for Shan Rou, heard the faint sobbing sound coming from it, and sighed deeply.
