Goodbye, snail and stone

  It was Class President Green who summoned Lu Lian to the principal's office. Green had been thinking of coming to her dormitory to find her, and she was tidying up things.

  "It's rare to see you in the dorm," Green said. As soon as he came in, his feet were all over shells and stones, he was afraid of stepping on them, standing at the door like a wooden stick, not daring to move. Fortunately, he was thin, with his legs together, and could still find a place to stand. At this time near graduation, every dormitory is messy, but the mess in Luolian's dormitory is another kind of style. "Didn't you empty all the shells and stones from the ocean over these four years?" Green said, over the past four years she had accumulated so many shells and stones, fortunately, she lived alone in a whole dormitory room, and could arrange them as she pleased.

  "You're just in time," said Luo Lian, as she took down the strings of shells from the wall inside her bed and handed them to Gelin to pass down to the lower bunk. Gelin tiptoed over to her bed and carefully took each string, sneaking a peek at what was written on the shells. To his surprise, he found that some of the earliest shells mentioned his name and events, but unfortunately, after the appearance of the Whale King's name, not a single shell mentioned Gelin's name again.

  Luo Lian strung the seashells into a disk and placed it in a large wooden box. This wooden box was specially made by Whale King for Luo Lian, who didn't know what she wanted to use it for, but according to her request, he ran to the forest, cut down the best wood, and made this wooden box. Luo Lian was going to transport it to Rain Flower Crown and store it in her underwater palace.

  The remaining shells and stones were packed by Lian into bags and ordinary paper boxes, handed over to Green: "Go, follow me to the seaside. Return these shells and stones to their original place."

  Green didn't think that besides reading books, there was such an interesting thing. Without Lu Lian, he himself would never have thought of doing it.

  "What a beautiful shell, what a beautiful stone..." Lian fell into the sea with a sigh of nostalgia. Green looked at Lian's reflection in the water, her eyes were sparkling blue, and no matter how beautiful the shells or stones were, they couldn't compare to that. Lian continued to mutter: "Some can be taken away, but too many are too heavy to carry."

  "Is this how you confess to university?" Green asked. In his heart, Luolian was never like ordinary people, coming in a special way and leaving in a special way. Every move, every word, had its own unique style, and it was all done in the most quiet and unassuming way, from start to finish, persisting in her uniqueness.

  Lotus herself was unaware, still using her hands to push against the waves, and the spray had already wet the hem of her skirt.

  Glen stood beside him, feeling as if he was admiring a painting. "You were desperate to get it back then, and now you're desperate to return it. I don't understand you," he said.

  "Heaven is desperately creating life and desperately destroying it. Humans will die, you know?" Lian said casually.

  Green was stunned by what she said.

  "It's just that, we're all just passing by each other. Whether it's people with people, or people with stones and seashells, or stones and seashells with the sea, or people with the sea." Luolian casually explained.

  Glen was even more dizzy. He just faintly felt that his acquaintance with Luolian was a short period, which had already passed, but he still missed it. What's next, no one knows.
