Chapter Thirty-One: Separation

  Murong Hui felt that this week was the happiest time since her birth.

  Every day in class, Lin Xiaoyu, who sat behind me, would occasionally draw a small cartoon expressing his affection and hand it to me. I would also quietly write down the sweet words in my heart on a small note and give it to him.

  "Xiao Yu is now her own boyfriend." Murong Hui Min often thinks about this matter. Every time she thinks about such an identity, Murong Hui Min always feels a little uncomfortable, but more of happiness and sweetness.

  Every day after school, he would ride his bicycle home with himself, secretly kissing his slightly hot face in a quiet place.

  He always says he likes the scent on his body. He says his body has a fragrance of jasmine. And I also like the scent on his body and the feeling of him kissing me.

  At night, when he was doing his homework, he would secretly run to the school garden and pick a beautiful rose for himself. Every time he gave himself flowers, he would also dare to kiss his face.

  Murong Huimin felt that she was now like the happiest princess in the world, with a prince she loved dearly by her side to pamper her.

  The night before last, Murong Hui Min went to her sister's room and slept with her. It had been a long time since Murong Hui Min slept with her own sister. Murong Hui Min lay beside her sister and told her about her love affair. When she told her sister about her first kiss with him on the Ferris wheel, her sister's wide-eyed expression made Murong Hui Min feel very amused, as this was an expression that rarely appeared on her sister's face.

  When her sister told Murong Hui Min about some of her past love affairs, Murong Hui Min never thought that love could be so painful and helpless. But when she thought of the sweet times with him, she believed that she and he would definitely live happily ever after...

  Later, Murong Hui Min could no longer hear what her sister was saying in her ear. Murong Hui Min fell into a sweet dream on her sister's bed. Before falling asleep, Murong Hui Min always looked forward to the arrival of dawn, because at that time, she would be able to see him who often appeared in her dreams.

  Sister looked at her sleeping younger sister, looking at her happy and beautiful little face, knowing that her younger sister had already begun to grow up. And growing up means that this angel-like younger sister will have to face the complex and ever-changing life. And Dad, Mom, and herself cannot replace her to block all kinds of helplessness. Everyone's life path is to be walked by oneself.

  Sister carefully covered Murong Hui Min with a quilt, and lovingly kissed her sweet smiling little face, wishing her pure and innocent sister a beautiful and happy life.

  Lin Xiaoyu looked at the empty desk in front of her, feeling a bit annoyed. Mu Rong Hui Min was usually earlier than her to class, but today it was already the second period and Mu Rong Hui Min had not arrived yet. Lin Xiaoyu did not know what had happened to Mu Rong Hui Min.

  Now Lin Xiaoyu feels that without Murong Hui Min by her side, she feels like she's missing half of her soul and can't muster up the energy for anything.

  After a hazy and confusing morning class, Lin Xiaoyu went home and the first thing she did was to call Murong Hui's family.

  Lin Xiaoyu listened to the rhythmic voice on the phone, feeling a little nervous, and silently calculated how she should start talking if it was Murong Huimin's family member who answered the phone. However, there was no one on the other end of the line. When the busy tone "dududu" sounded on the phone, Lin Xiaoyu's nervousness turned into anxiety. Lin Xiaoyu didn't know what had happened at Murong Huimin's home.

  Lunch had just finished, and Lin Xiaoyu immediately rode out on his bike. His mother, who was collecting the bowls and chopsticks, felt very strange because her son rarely ran out like this at noon.

  A black sedan slowly drove out of the gate of the residential area where Murong Hui Min lived, and inside the car, Murong Hui Min's eyes were red from crying as she stared out of the window, her eyes filled with sorrow.

  A few minutes after the sedan left the neighborhood, Lin Xiaoyu, who was riding a red mountain bike, rode into the gate of the neighborhood with some anxiety.

  Lin Xiaoyu arrived at the foot of Murong Hui's house, but Lin Xiaoyu didn't know which floor Murong Hui lived on. Lin Xiaoyu looked at this building with more than 20 floors, feeling helpless...

  Lin Xiaoyu was leaning on the desk, staring blankly at the empty seat in front of her. Mu Rong Hui Min still hadn't shown up for class that afternoon. A sense of foreboding arose in Lin Xiaoyu's heart.

  In the second class of the afternoon, Class Teacher Li Yong walked into the classroom and asked Lin Xiaoyu to come out for a moment. Lin Xiaoyu, who was listlessly lying on his desk, walked out of the classroom in a daze, not knowing what the teacher wanted with him suddenly during class.

  After Lin Xiaoyu walked out of the classroom, Class Director Li Yong said that someone had come to find him. Standing beside Li Yong was a beautiful woman who looked around 20 years old. Lin Xiaoyu didn't recall ever seeing this person before and didn't know what business she had with him.

  "Thank you, teacher." The woman thanked Li Yong.

  "You're welcome, you guys chat, I still have things to do, I'll leave first." Class teacher Li Yong said and left.

  Lin Xiaoyu looked at this unfamiliar woman and felt that her appearance was very familiar to herself, but she seemed to have never seen her before.

  "Are you Lin Xiaoyu?" The woman finally spoke up.

  "Yes, it is. And you are?" Lin Xiaoyu asked in puzzlement.

  "Oh, I'm Murong Hui Min's sister." The woman introduced herself.

  It turned out to be Murong Huimin's sister, no wonder Lin Xiaoyu felt that the woman's face was very familiar, Murong Huimin and her sister looked a bit alike, both were so beautiful.

  Lin Xiaoyu didn't know why Murong Huimin's sister had come looking for her, and his ominous premonition grew stronger. Lin Xiaoyu said anxiously, "Why didn't Murong Huimin come to class today? Has...has something happened to her?"

  "Minmin didn't have anything happen, but she's going to transfer schools. Our family is immigrating abroad, and this happened suddenly. Minmin only found out yesterday and didn't have time to tell you, so she asked me to come find you." Muyong Huimin's sister looked at the handsome young man with a somewhat anxious expression, thinking that her younger sister's taste was indeed good, and the boyfriend she had chosen was really not bad. Unfortunately, her younger sister's beautiful first love might become a bittersweet ending. Muyong Huimin thought of her younger sister's sad expression when their family decided to immigrate abroad, and couldn't help but feel a wave of affection."

  "Going abroad?" Mu Rong Hui Min's sister's words struck Lin Xiao Yu's mind like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. "Will she still come back?" Lin Xiao Yu's voice trembled slightly.

  "I don't know, because my family has already found a school for Mianmian overseas. I reckon she might not be back for a while." Mu Rong Hui's sister sounded a bit regretful. The pure love between these two children might be cruelly strangled by reality like this.

  "Where is she now?" Lin Xiaoyu longed to see Murong Hui again, to see her lover, to see that angel-like face once more.

  "She's already at the airport now." Mu Rong Hui Min's sister said with a bit of helplessness.

  Lin Xiaoyu lowered his head and stopped speaking. At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu felt as if he was in a dark and desolate night, even though he was standing on the corridor balcony of a sunny afternoon.

  "Minmin asked me to come find you because she wanted me to bring something for you." Murong Hui's sister took out a small package from her own bag.

  Lin Xiaoyu took over the package, Lin Xiaoyu felt that this small package seemed to have a weight of thousands of tons, and she was very laborious to hold on to this actually very light thing.

  "Can you help me deliver something to Huimin?" Lin Xiaoyu looked up at Mu Rong, Huimin's sister.

  "It's all right. No problem."

  Lin Xiaoyu had never given Murong Huimin a decent gift, and when she finally thought of buying one these days, she was about to leave suddenly. Lin Xiaoyu took off the small jade pendant from her neck and handed it over to Murong Huimin's sister.

  "Thank you, please tell Wei Min that I will miss her." This jade pendant was given to Lin Xiaoyu by her mother when she was very young, and Lin Xiaoyu had always worn it on her body. At this time, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't find anything suitable to give to Murong Huimin, so she gave the jade pendant that had been hanging around her neck for over a decade to her.

  "Alright, I'll pass it on to Minmin for you. Minmin misses you too." Murong Hui thought of her younger sister's unprecedented sad eyes. At the end of those eyes was a heart that had already become somewhat fragmented...

  Murong Hui Min sat on the plane, in this high altitude of several thousand meters, looking at a small jade pendant in her hand. She often saw this pendant, which was always worn on his chest, and now Murong Hui Min felt that the small hand holding the pendant seemed to feel the warmth of his body temperature. Thinking of him, Murong Hui Min's eyes were again blurred by crystal clear tears...
