51. That late letter

"Let's go once..."

Looking at the familiar address on the note, Nakamura Kazuha decided to go there after thinking about it to see what Liu Hongyu had put there.

Let's go back a few weeks.

Before Liu Hongyu gave the Leverkusen jersey to Lin Xi, he decided to put a small note in the bag after countless ideological struggles.

The note was written with the address of a building in London, and Nakamura Kazuha recognized the handwriting as clearly Liu Hongyu's.

After taking a taxi to the address on the note, Kazuha Nakamura looked at the night scene around him and felt a little familiar.

After following the guide for a while, Nakamura Kazuha came to the outside of a house.

"Alas... Isn't that where he came to London to live alone? ”

The apartment building in front of him reminded Nakamura Kazuha of a few years ago.

In his sophomore year of high school, Liu Hongyu came to London alone. Because one of his parents was on a business trip in Singapore and the other was in Hoffenheim to discuss cooperation, he couldn't come back in a short time, and other relatives and friends were basically not in London. So his parents could only throw a bunch of money to Liu Hongyu, and by the way, he rented a house near his school by relying on his money ability.

Nakamura Kazuha is still a little impressed by this, after all, when she came to play with Liu Hongyu during the holidays, she basically lived here.

After entering the code into the slip of paper, Kazuha Nakamura opened the door.

The room is not big, a bed, a desk, a sofa plus a TV, that's all. The walls are basically covered with photo frames by Liu Hongyu. Except for a few places with posters of Beckham and Kaka, the rest are basically photos of Liu Hongyu and her.

"That guy... It can't be that I'm here for this kind of thing..."Nakamura Kazuha still knows enough about Liu Hongyu's temperament, and it is absolutely impossible for him to come here just to show himself some photos.

After looking around, Nakamura Kazuha found a pile of letters and several notebooks on Liu Hongyu's desk.

"He hasn't let me see anything in six years, and he just left it alone?"

After opening the book and looking at it, Nakamura Kazuha found that the thing turned out to be Liu Hongyu's diary.

After opening it and looking at it a few times, Nakamura Kazuha suddenly noticed that the things Liu Hongyu wrote on it were basically related to her. From 16 to 18 years, every day never broke.

"This guy... There's enough of that. When she looked at the diary, for some reason, Kazuha Nakamura felt that Liu Hongyu had some... Foolish.

After a brief flip through it, Kazuha Nakamura put down his notebook, picked up the pile of letters next to him and read it.

"He's still so cowardly... A copy of Holiday is right..." (referring to James Holiday in Ready Player One)

After looking at the date of the letter, she realized how many times Liu Hongyu and his friends had tried to confess to her when he had a crush on her, but a coward never took that step.

The content of the first few letters is mainly letters to good friends during the holidays when she had a crush on Liu Hongyu. How to confess is a lot of nonsense, after all, the few good friends he found are all "love field teachers", anyway, in the end, Liu Hongyu didn't do the same. (Liu Hongyu's family is very strict, he didn't use his mobile phone much before the second year of high school if it was not necessary, and the time was either spent practicing and driving F3 or spent studying)

When he saw the last two letters, Kazuha Nakamura finally figured out Liu Hongyu's intention to let him come here.

The first letter was written around mid-August '21.

"This is a letter that is a few days late. It's been exactly 200 days since we broke up, and I don't know how you're in the Netherlands right now. ”

"After separating from the view that 'the Tao is different, not conspiring with each other' at that time. Every time I walk past Stamford Bridge and the River Thames, I see what we were talking there a year ago. I have never forgotten about you. ”

After chatting about a lot of the past, Liu Hongyu didn't say anything more.

"I heard Joanna say that you have been in South Korea as a trainee for a while and are preparing to make your debut, so I am here to wish you a smooth debut in advance. To be honest, I don't hate you as much as Lao Sun's second-class goods said, and since you chose the former between your dream and me, then I have nothing to say. And there's... Happy birthday, leaf. ”

At the end of this letter, Liu Hongyu just wrote the word "Liu", and did not write any bells and whistles like in the letters just now, or drew a cute emoji next to the name.

"Look at the traces... After hesitating for a long time, did you still not send it out? ”

Looking at the pile of creases on the paper, coupled with the fact that Liu Hongyu was originally emotionally cowardly, Nakamura Kazuha vaguely felt in his heart that Liu Hongyu should have been tossing and turning at night for a long time, and finally did not send the letter.

The truth is just as she guessed, Liu Hongyu didn't give it away after thinking about it for a long time. It also took a lot of time to prepare for F2 races, not to mention that Mercedes had already dragged him to drive a W12 at that time, and he had little free time left when he prepared the formalities and documents to prove that he was capable of driving an F1 car.

After the special approval of the FIA, Liu Hongyu had already shown absolute speed in F1 at the age of seventeen (but in practice sessions, the FIA was afraid that Liu Hongyu, who was a minor, would be seriously injured after the collision due to his lack of physical fitness, so he was only allowed to participate in practice sessions) In China, when driving the W12 and W11 on two circuits in Spain, Liu Hongyu's lap time was compared with the pole position lap speed of the same car at that time, and Liu Hongyu's speed could even be compared with Hamilton.

By the time Spa replaced Bottas in his first practice session with the best 20 drivers in the world, Liu's lap times were terrifying. This is also why he finally forgot the stubble of the letter, and did enough training to run F1, and he didn't have time to think about those love and love things.

"Ye, see the words like faces."

When Nakamura Kazuha opened the last letter, he was greeted by such a sentence.

"Maybe you're curious about the pile of pictures in this room, right? I took them all back to London a while I was running a Grand Prix... Oh no, in Berlin and Hoffenheim haven't been there yet. ”

"You just think I'm doing useless work, after all, the two of us are no longer the same people. I didn't mean to win you back, you should be a fool and nervous. ”

"We've known each other since childhood, and although we've been separated on and off for a few years, we're barely childhood sweethearts who grew up with each other. Once, when I was a little naΓ―ve at the time, I discovered... I seem to really like a girl, that is, you, ******** naΓ―ve, I was completely a love brain at that time, and I always thought about you in class. It's not hard to find out from the letters on my desk, right? When I had a crush on you, I felt really uncomfortable whenever I saw you talking and laughing with other members of the opposite sex. But bar... It's like now, I'm not your boyfriend, and I don't have the qualifications to be jealous, after all, I'm a coward who doesn't even dare to take that step. ”

"After the ideological struggle, I decided to confess at the instigation of my grandson. But I didn't expect you to take the initiative before me. After starting to fall in love, the two of us have not had any conceptual discord. After all, between two completely different individuals, conflict is inevitable. It's just that at that time, I pulled down my face every time to coax you. ”

"I'm afraid of losing you. No kidding, I'm serious. I like you, I liked you from the first time I saw you. People often say I'm a straight guy and an emotional idiot. That's what I thought, too. You once asked me, does the ending of the story matter? I was only perfunctory about this issue at the time, but now... I seem to have the answer. ”

"If you liked a book, a play, a movie, would you care how it ends? In other words, if you like someone, do you just want to know how you end up with him? I like you until the moment I don't like it. Even though I knew the two of us were destined to separate. But I am willing to love you infinitely in a limited time. ”

"Maybe when you go to Holland, I should realize that the two of us are no longer the same way. I don't know when I started to get tired of this when I went to the Netherlands to find you and make you happy. I know you're not my moon, but for a moment, the moonlight shone on me. After you and I had a cold war for a while, I proposed to break up, and it's been exactly 500 days since today... Instead of dragging the tug-of-war like before, it is better to see and disperse and step into a new life. It's good for you and me. ”

"Well, then, maybe it's time to say goodbye. Maybe I should have said that when you choose to leave... Forget it, we may not meet in the future anyway, so let's just talk about it. ”

"You are like the dew that I kissed when I was young and frivolous, and after that, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the servants come and go, both as my tears and as my lake."
