Volume 1 Chapter 67 The Kite with a Broken String

  The rain will clear up after the storm, but no one knows if there will be an even bigger gloom afterwards. It's like an iceberg at sea, slowly melting away in secret, and perhaps one day it will merge with the turbulent waters to engulf this world.

  Du Ruo has gradually calmed down recently, and some realities cannot be changed, so she can only accept them. After all, An Junli is still by her side, which is the greatest revenge against Shen Fang. Du Ruo is pitiful, she could have held onto this love that she wanted, but there are too many things that she has to bear on her body.

  There are people in this world who can't get what they want, no matter how hard they try. Some people can't even grasp what they have and can only watch as their love slips away like a kite with a broken string, flying further and further away. "Jianli, come with me to see the sunrise!" Du Ruo called An Jianli, saying straightforwardly.

  "Good." Afterwards, An Junli and Du Ruo walked on the mountain road that was starting to darken. All along the way, Du Ruo's face was filled with smiles, and An Junli was delighted to see Du Ruo still had such a smile. Recently, too many things had happened, and many people were almost forgetting what happiness looked like.

  "Are you sleepy? Lean on my shoulder and sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when it's daylight." An Junli said tenderly.

  "No, I want to look at the stars a bit more. We've never looked at the stars together like this before!" Du Ruo pulled An Junli's arm and they both gazed up at the sky together.

  The most beautiful posture is looking up, and everyone rises with bright eyes in the blackness, and a subtle melancholy falls in their hearts.

  "I love it when the sun rises, everything is so beautiful, so quiet, no disputes. Just like the beginning of life, so harmonious, not understanding the crowded world and the coldness of human relationships." Du Ruo said, looking at the endless sky.

  "Du Ruo, even now we can live a simpler life, I will be by your side. Whether you have a dazzling stage or are just a street clown ridiculed by others, I will be by your side. Whether you are strong or weak, I will give you my embrace."

  "Junli, thank you so much. When I'm with you, I just feel like a little girl who needs love, and I don't think about the future or what will happen tomorrow. As long as you're here, I feel at ease, and I'd be happy to not think about anything with you, just seeking happiness every day."

  "We'll always be like this!" An Junli hugged Du Ruo's shoulder tightly, wanting to give Du Ruo warmth in the cold night of the post-apocalyptic world.

  "En." Du Ruo leaned against An Junli's shoulder, perhaps this was the last time she would be nestled in his arms, and from now on, this embrace could only bring warmth to others.

  Time passed minute by minute, the darkness of night grew thicker, and her mood turned grayer. The silence around them could even chill their love, Du Ruo's tears had not fallen yet but were frozen at the corners of her eyes. She leaned quietly against An Junli's chest, where his heartbeat rose and fell, where their love bloomed like an open wound that throbbed with pain.

  Junli, I'm sorry, we may never have the chance to be together again. I really don't want to leave, but I must go. Junli, remember that I love you.

  Many times, the hardest thing is not two people falling in love, but two people staying together.

  The sky brightened, and An Junli woke up to see the sun already rising above the horizon. However, in his arms, there was only a faint breeze that pierced through his spine, and the warmth of two people had turned into the chill of one person's loneliness.

  "Where did Du Ruo go?" An Jun Li wondered. He got up to look for her, but his legs and feet were numb after a whole night of searching.

  "Du Ruo, where are you?! The sun is rising, we need to watch it together! Where are you?" An Junli shouted anxiously. No one replied, only the echo reverberated in the empty mountain valley, repeatedly leaving only silence. An Junli suddenly thought of something and began frantically searching for Du Ruo everywhere.

  Junli, I'm here now. We can be considered to have watched the sunrise together. I'm leaving, don't look for me again. Du Ruo stood behind, watching An Junli's running figure, and resolutely left in the opposite direction. "Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable... Du Ruo, what are you doing? What do you want to do?" An Junli followed the downhill road all the way, but found nothing.

  Du Ruo's residence is also deserted, and everyone who has contact with Du Ruo does not know where she went. An Junli knows that Du Ruo bears a lot of pressure on her body, she wants to save her own brother, rescue their whole family. But what can a weak woman do? An Junli is powerless against Du Ruo's stubbornness.

  Fang Li, Meng Xi and Su Xia were all shocked to hear the news of Du Ruo's disappearance. They thought that Du Ruo would not forgive them, that he would always remember their wrongdoings, but they never thought that he would leave on his own without a word. In the past, Meng Xi, Su Xia and Fang Li had been together, but then Du Ruo had somehow entered their circle. Now, however, Du Ruo had silently disappeared, taking with him their guilt and their doubts.

  "After all, a triangle is the most stable shape. We are destined to make our way through life together, three people." Su Xia said.

  "Yes, Du Ruo's departure may not be accidental, it's just that her time with us has come to an end. But why can't she leave quietly, instead of stirring up a storm of blood and rain? In the end, we are still parting ways in discord, there is resentment and guilt between us." Meng Xi said sorrowfully, she was a kind girl who had brought harm to others due to her own mistakes, it was a lifelong regret.

  Fang Li said, "I always feel that Du Ruo is like a kite with a broken string. We know she's beautiful and we know she shines. But we'll never know her direction, nor what she really wants."

  An Junli walked past the back of the tree and heard Fang Li's words, she stopped in her tracks, thinking of Du Ruo dancing, like a free butterfly, her beauty made people forget what was behind her. But she wasn't a kite with a broken string, she was a kite with a tight string held by her family.

  Let's just part ways, Du Ruo. You're the most special girl I've ever met. Good luck to you. An Junli thought to himself, feeling a bit comforted in his heart. After all, he couldn't give Du Ruo what she wanted deep down.

  Go take a look at Jin Youzhi, that guy has been causing trouble in school lately, relying on his face that can deceive heaven and earth, swindling everywhere. An Junli always having to go and do the aftermath for him is also very tiring.

  Life is sometimes very strange, some people even if not together, after a long time still can gather together. While others, even in the most difficult days, once accompanied each other, eventually still have to go their separate ways.

  Life is like a banquet, after eating and drinking, everyone will go their separate ways. Those who can stay with you to drink the last cup of wine are friends for this lifetime. You can search "Youth Song" on Baidu to find the latest updates of this book!
