Chapter 57: Kites Like Old Acquaintances Swallows Return

  The fourth month of the human world. On this day, the wind is gentle and the sun is shining, the riverbank is full of spring atmosphere, the grass is lush and green, the oriole flies high, the fragrance of flowers is spreading, and occasionally petals dance in the air.

  There were already many people on the riverbank, filled with laughter and chatter. Beautiful kites flew into the sky one after another. The numerous kites added a multitude of colors to the blue sky. The kites floated quietly in the air, showing off their elegance, revealing the mood of those flying them.

  Our kite is a swallow, which is the swallow I like, very beautiful and vivid.

  When everything was ready, he ran forward and let out the string, I held the kite behind him, let it fly, watching the kite slowly rise up, and quietly float in the air. At this time, swallows were lightly and freely flying high in the sky, we looked at each other and smiled, our hearts singing with joy.

  When the kite flies higher and higher in the sky, until it seems to touch the clouds. I thought a lot, is there anyone who will let go of the kite in their hands and let it fly straight into the clouds? People say that memories are like kites with broken strings, once they fly away, they won't come back. Is that really true?

  "A bit tired and thirsty, right? I'll go buy some drinks. You stay here, don't wander off too far, or I won't be able to find you when I get back."

  I nodded slightly.

  I stood there alone, feeling the joy of flying a kite. At this time, I met someone, my middle school classmate Jingjing, she was still the same as before, without much change. Meeting an old classmate, such a familiar person, made me feel particularly close.

  "I've seen it all! That boy is so handsome, is he your boyfriend?" This was Jingjing's first sentence after seeing me and saying hello. She had a delighted expression on her face.

  "Oh, no it's not!" I clarified.

  "It's obvious he treats you well, his eyes are full of tender affection." She continued to say with a smile.

  "You can see this too?" I still had a calm expression, but in my heart, I was smiling lightly.

  "Of course, who else?" She seemed a bit smug, proud of some sort of ability.

  Oh, I almost forgot! When we were in high school, Jingjing was the most mature one. She was always able to catch on to who had a crush on whom!

  "Are you still in touch with He Xiying?" She began to say seriously, and also brought me back to those years.

  "Some". I remain calm and serene.

  "I heard he's coming back, is that true?" She looked into my eyes and said with concern, just like she used to care about us back then.

  "This, I don't know." Things that have never been known, I'd better pretend ignorance.

  "I heard he said it on QQ, saying that there's something important for him to come back and deal with. He didn't tell you, maybe he wanted to give you a surprise!"

  "Do you know? I've always envied you." Her eyes revealed a kind of nostalgia for the past, as if she had returned to the old times.

  "But I heard you two didn't end up together in the end, we're all feeling regretful for you guys!"

  Those past events seem to be floating on my mind again. But I gradually feel that there is no longer too much sorrow, and it can't be sad anymore. Those sorrows are fading away bit by bit until they return to calmness.

  "At that time, you were together answering questions, you went home together, he sent you to school, I felt that you two were very compatible, really envied you!"

  "Yes, thank you, but it's already passed." I forced myself to say calmly, as if I were telling someone else's story.

  "But I thought you were a nostalgic person and wouldn't let go so easily. Now that you can think this way, I'm relieved! I hope it's true! Sincerely wish you well!" Her eyes shone with a warm light that could comfort me.

  It's not that I've let go, but whenever I think of him, my heart aches. I don't know when it will end. I don't want to put myself in such a state again, I don't want this feeling anymore. Perhaps some things can only be deeply buried in the heart.

  Jing Jing said she had something on and bid me farewell. I stretched out my hand and shook hers, also wanting to hold onto some memories of the past in my heart.

  She left, and I stood there, with a mind drifting far away.

  Xia Wenyu is back, he saw that my expression was a bit different. He asked with concern: "What's wrong?" A hint of unease flashed across his clear eyes.

  "No, I'm fine!" Every time I see him, I feel a little happier, no matter what mood I'm in.

  The kite-flying activity has ended, I'm walking quickly.

  "Qing Yi, why are you walking so fast? I can barely keep up!" said Xia Wenyu from behind.

  "I have something important to attend to."

  "What's wrong? You're in such a hurry."

  "Tomorrow is Dandan's birthday, I still haven't had time to buy her a gift! If I don't go now, it will be too late by tomorrow."

  "Then I'll go with you! I know you like having someone accompany you and don't like going alone."

  "You really understand me!" I'm truly touched.

  The fragrance of flowers wafts over, bringing a hint of joy to my heart. We walk along that road, with many worries and past memories floating in our minds, but I remind myself not to be sad anymore. Over the years, those things have been just shadows in my heart.

  Familiar swallows return, the poet also saw joy when writing this sentence, intending to cherish. This season is warm, with gentle breeze, I have seen the hope of spring.
