Chapter 47: Time has its own way of healing faint wounds

  "Chen......" Su Yisu bit her lip, as if she had made a huge decision, and said: "No matter where you are, I love you."

  She can't be like those little girls in idol dramas, asking Jiang Fengchen to stay for her. She knows that all of this is already irreversible, Jiang Fengchen leaving the campus, leaving her has become a certainty. Perhaps not long from now, he will also leave Jiang City, going to a place that may be near or far away.

  This turn of events might just be a long-awaited reunion. From now on, they will be like the autumn begonia, separated and longing for each other.

  Jiang Fengchen's eyes moved slightly, and he finally just nodded silently, turned around ruthlessly and left. At this moment, he couldn't promise anything, because he didn't know where he would be in the next moment, what kind of things he would encounter, or what kind of experiences he would have. All of these were beyond his prediction.

  She gazed at his departing back with tears in her eyes, not uttering a word, unable to bear looking and yet unable to bear not looking. He left, he really left, slowly moving further away from me. He didn't turn around, but I knew that his heart must be more painful than mine.

  Jiang Zhan and Lin Wan slowly walked out of the backyard, silently standing beside Su Yisou, watching as Jiang Fengchen disappeared into the crowd bit by bit.

  "Susu, don't be sad. If two people really love each other, no matter where they go, this feeling will never disappear." Lin Wan gently hugged Su Yisou's shoulder and comforted her.

  Su Yisu turned her head to look at her, "Really?"

  "Uh-huh!" Lin Wan nodded firmly. But she knew that these words were just a pale comfort. Because, in fact, she herself couldn't believe that distance wouldn't change the nature of their feelings.

  Jiang Zuo did not refute Lin Wan's words, and only gently hugged Su Yisou. At this moment, as long as it could make Su Yisou cheer up, telling more lies was worth it, let alone Lin Wan's words were not a lie.

  The intense rhythm of the third year of high school did not allow Su Yisou to be sad for long, a thick stack of test papers and a heavy pile of review materials began to change every day in front of her desk waiting for her to solve. Jiang Fengchen would occasionally come to school to find her, they would occasionally go to Liu Jing Park for a walk, the two people quietly walked around the small path step by step, as if they were still their second-year selves, everything had not changed.

  Su Yisu finally accepted Jiang Fengchen's departure from school.

  As soon as the school bell rang on Saturday afternoon, groups of three to five students rushed out of the teaching building, their faces filled with bright smiles, and even their footsteps were so light.

  "Let's go hiking later!"

  "Let's go window shopping!"

  ……

  Su Yisu lay listlessly on the windowsill of the classroom, listening to the enthusiastic discussions about where to go next to her ears, and inexplicably felt a little melancholy in her heart. Once upon a time, they too looked forward to the arrival of weekends every week, but now, she seemed to have completely lost that feeling.

  But after just one summer vacation, why did she suddenly feel like she had aged? Su Yisu couldn't figure it out, and this question kept lingering in her mind, to the point where Lin Wan came over to call her, but she didn't even hear him.

  "Suisu!!" Lin Wanhuo shouted loudly next to her ear.

  "Ah!" Su Yisu let out a subconscious shriek, jumped back a few steps, and covered her ears. Seeing that it was Lin Wan, she immediately pulled down her face and said: "Lin Wan, why do you always scare me."

  Lin Wan looked at her helplessly, "Su big sister, I'd like to ask you, why are you always spacing out."

  "I... I..." Su Yisu knew she was being hypocritical and lacked confidence, "Daydreaming is also a profound art. For example, you can't learn it."

  Lin Lin pouted and said, "Forget it, I don't even want to learn anyway."

  Su Yisu naturally wouldn't keep discussing this topic with her endlessly. Seeing that there was no one behind her, she couldn't help but ask: "Is Jia going on a date again?"

  "It's not like that. After all, they are different from us."

  "Yes..." Su Yisu suddenly thought of Jiang Fengchen again, turned around and lay down on the balcony, looking down at the unfamiliar or familiar figures passing by downstairs with a sense of loss.

  Lin Wan immediately realized she had misspoken, and hastily changed the subject, saying: "Don't just stand there like an idiot, I'm starving! Let's go, let's go." She then dragged Su Yisuo out to find food.

  "I want to eat rice noodles." Su Yisuo suddenly spoke up, gazing at the various delicious snacks on the small street outside the school.

  Lin Wan refused without hesitation, "I just ate at noon, no way, I have to eat."

  Su Yisuo was unhappy and retorted: "Others from the North eat dumplings every day."

  Lin Wan turned around and looked at her, "Are you from the North?"

  "It's not." Su Yisu lowered her head.

  "That's settled then, let's go eat!" Lin Wan triumphantly dragged Su Yi Su to the fast food restaurant, thinking to herself: Don't think that just because Jiang Zuo isn't here I won't be able to control you. You're not a northerner, eating rice noodles every day and adding so much spice each time, can your stomach handle it?

  Having dinner, the two of them strolled back and forth slowly.

  "Is there a show tonight?"

  "No." Lin Wan rolled her eyes directly.

  "But I don't want to go to class."

  "You can go back to your dorm."

  "There's nobody in the dorm."

  Lin Lan's patience was finally worn out, and she said irritably, "Then what do you want?"

  Su Yisu was waiting for her words and excitedly held her arm, saying: "Let's go hiking too!"

  Upon hearing this, Lin Wan stared at Su Yisou in shock, as if looking at an alien, and said: "Su Yisou? Are you feverish or what? You didn't like hiking before, did you? In the past, even when Jian Ye dragged you along, you wouldn't go. Why are you suddenly thinking of going this time?"

  "What's it to you? One sentence: go or not?"

  "Alright, I'll die with you." Lin Wan had no choice but to agree.

  "Hehe......" Su Yisu smiled slyly and pulled Lin Wan to hurry to school quickly.

  As soon as they entered the school gate, the two of them heard someone calling out to Su Yisuo from behind. The two turned their heads and saw Su Yixin running over with three steps in two strides.

  "Su Yi Xin?" Su Yi Su was very surprised, "How did you come here?"

  Su Yi Xin raised an eyebrow and replied, "What? Don't welcome me?"

  "No, how dare I...” Su Yisuo put on a humble appearance, lowering her eyebrows and eyes: "I can only express my unexpected surprise at your sudden return to visit our alma mater."

  "Hmph..." Lin Wan, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Su Yisou's words. This brother and sister pair, did they have to be so playful?

  Su Yi Xin looked at Su Yi Su helplessly, "I came specifically to see you, but you don't seem to appreciate it at all."

  "In that case, thank you, Old Su."

  Su Yixin finally blew up and slapped him with a loud slap, "You little rascal, you're asking for it again, huh?"

  Lin Wan suppressed her smile and said, "I guess so."

  Su Yi touched the spot where Su Yi Xin had hit her and said, "I'm being so respectful, yet you're still not satisfied?"

  "...". Su Yixin was completely speechless. After a while, he continued: "I have a 7 o'clock bus, I'll go to school soon, and before I leave, I came to say goodbye loudly."

  Upon hearing this, Su Yisuo suddenly lost interest in playing with him and looked up at him with a sorrowful expression: "You're leaving too?" Why is everyone leaving? It seems that the saying 'there's no banquet that doesn't disperse' is indeed true.

  "Otherwise? Accompanying you every day is good?"

  "No need, no need," Just thinking of Su Yi Xin being by her side every day, stretching out his hand to explode a slap, Su Yi Su felt her whole body trembling, "You'd better leave quickly. I won't see you off, brother!"

  "Despicable!"

  Su Yi Su pushed Su Yi Xin out of the school gate and said, "Hurry up, you'll miss the bus if you don't. Don't blame me later."

  "Well then I'm off, you must study hard from now on and don't be idle like before."

  "Got it, got it, really??"

  So Su Yi Xin reluctantly left with a heavy heart.

  Lin Xiao said with a smile: "I thought there would be another eighteen farewells."

  Su Yi shot her a withering glance, "He's just Su Yi Xin."

  "Yes, yes, yes, he's not Jiang Fengchen, just Su Yixin. Alas, this guy is so infatuated with beauty."

  Su Yi let out a cold snort and roughly pulled her along as he walked, "Hurry back and get ready."

  Jiangcheng Ecological Park was built on the mountain, with a long staircase along the ridge for people to climb and exercise. At night, the ecological park has an added elegance compared to daytime, with white streetlights decorated with various beautiful decorations, shining even more brightly under the night sky, attracting attention. The soft light illuminates half of the park, while the areas not lit by the streetlights exude a mysterious charm, attracting couple after couple.

  Under the banyan tree, old or young people sit alone or in pairs, occasionally hearing their whispers. The evening park has retreated from the daytime bustle, and although it is still crowded with people, everyone is tacitly silent, without any noise to break this rare tranquility.

  Su Yisuxin excitedly bought a Kongming lantern.

  Lin Wan couldn't help but wonder again, "Why did you buy a Kongming lantern?"

  Su Yisubai looked at her with a glance, "You're silly, of course we're going up." As she said that, she took the Kongming lantern in one hand and pulled Lin Wan up an endless staircase with the other.

  The mountain is not very high, but the stairs on the mountain are winding and tortuous, and it takes a lot of effort to climb. By the time the two climbed to the top of the mountain, they were already sweating profusely and panting. Fortunately, the wind at the top of the mountain was strong and cool, dissipating much of their heat.

  After a short rest, Su Yisu took out a pen from her bag and also pulled out a lighter.

  Lin Wan looked at it in surprise and said: "Su Yisou, you climb a mountain with these things?"

  "Flashlight is a must-have item."

  "So, it seems you had planned this all along."

  "Heh heh..." Su Yisuo chuckled twice, tore open the packaging of Kong Ming lanterns, "Lend me your back for a use." She said and directly spread the Kong Ming lanterns on Lin Lu's back.

  "Hey, what are you doing? How embarrassing!" Lin Wan cried out in annoyance.

  "Don't move!" With Su Yisu's shout, she didn't dare to move anymore. Alas, die with the noble man, then accompany him to the end.

  Su Yisu thought for a moment, carefully wrote a few lines on the Kongming lantern, and then carefully picked it up, saying: "Okay, release the Kongming lantern!"

  After a period of exploration and effort by the two people, Kongming lanterns slowly rose into the night sky, drifting further and further away until they became a tiny star in the distance.

  Su Yisu gazed up at the Kongming lantern, her eyes reddening again. Chen, no matter what twists and turns we encounter, or how we part ways in the future, we must be good to each other, never leave, never abandon.
