The horizon was covered with a golden sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the campus of Shisan High School. The students of Shisan High School who were returning home from revision were stunned to see such a scene.
The boy with the school bag on his back hurried toward the school gate.
Behind the boy, a cute and beautiful girl with a pure ponytail was hurriedly running out of the school building, anxiously calling the boy's name.
Both the boy and the girl looked familiar.
"Isn't that Lin Feng from Grade 12 Class 7?"
Some of the students on the campus recognized it.
"She's from Class 7 too. Is that Tang Bingyao?"
The fact that a certain someone and a girl came home together from school every day had long been a hot topic among the students.
At the same time, a certain someone was the envy of countless males.
"Hey, aren't there supposed to be three people?"
Someone suddenly remembered.
Everyone else also came to a sudden realization. That's right. Most of the time, it wasn't just a certain someone and a girl walking together.
There was also another girl who was just as beautiful. Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and she always had an amiable smile on her face as she walked with other boys and girls.
Three people, one boy and two girls.
This was a scene that the students of Shisan High were all too familiar with and envious of.
However, it seemed like they were missing one person today.
… …
"Lin Feng!"
"Lin Feng! — — "
Lin Feng didn't stop. Tang Bingyao chased after him anxiously, but she couldn't stop him no matter how hard she tried.
Tang Bingyao chased Lin Feng all the way to the sidewalk outside the school before finally catching up to him. Her chest was heaving up and down, and she couldn't help but gasp for breath. Her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at a certain someone.
"Lin Feng, don't worry."
"Wait for me."
Lin Feng finally snapped out of his daze. He looked at Tang Bingyao with a blank expression.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Bingyao, who had chased after Lin Feng without a second thought, choked. She opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
It was because she knew too much.
At that moment, she realized she didn't know where to start.
After a long while, the girl forced a smile.
"Um, where are you going?"
"Going home?"
"I heard that there's a new chicken chop restaurant on the snack street. Shall we go and have a meal there?"
"My, my treat —"
With that said, the girl hurriedly took out her small purse from her pocket and waved it at a certain someone. Her face was full of nervousness and anticipation.
Lin Feng looked at Tang Bingyao and shook his head.
"Forget it for today."
"Why don't you go home first? I need to go somewhere else."
Tang Bingyao's heart skipped a beat, but she tried to keep a straight face. She pretended to be curious.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Feng's answer was simple and straightforward.
"Hospital!"
Tang Bingyao was stunned. She repeated herself subconsciously.
"Hospital?"
"Why do you want to go …"
Lin Feng quickly explained, "It's the same as last time. Last time, Steamed Bun didn't come to school, didn't answer my phone, and didn't reply to my messages. She was also hospitalized. Maybe she hasn't recovered from her previous illness, and now she's having problems again. I'll go to the same hospital and ask!"
Tang Bingyao pursed her lips.
"But what if there's no news from the hospital?"
"Then I'll go to her house!"
Lin Feng replied without hesitation. In fact, he had already thought about it that afternoon.
In any case …
No matter what, he had to see An Xin with his own eyes today.
"Steamed Bun isn't home."
Just as Lin Feng was about to hail a cab to the hospital, Tang Bingyao's voice rang out from behind him.
Lin Feng didn't even turn around. He didn't take her words to heart.
"How would I know if I don't go see her?
"Anyway, let's go to the hospital first. If there's no one, I'll go to her house. If there's no one, I'll wait outside her house. She'll definitely come back! — "
But in the next moment …
"Steamed Bun isn't at the hospital! She's not home!
She won't come back! "
Tang Bingyao suddenly shouted at Lin Feng's back.
Lin Feng's footsteps came to a halt.
Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Tang Bingyao in confusion.
At this time, the girl's eyes couldn't help but redden. She sniffled and held back the tears in her eyes. She took out an envelope from her pocket, which seemed to have been prepared a long time ago. Under Lin Feng's stunned gaze, she handed it to him.
"Steamed Bun asked me to give this to you.
She said … she had to wait until now before she could give it to you. "
Lin Feng's mind was a mess.
His mind was a complete blank.
Almost subconsciously, she took the envelope and looked down at it. There were three words written on the envelope in a graceful and familiar handwriting — — —
"Xiao Feng, open."
At the same time, in Shanghai, Pudong International Airport. A young girl stood quietly in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, looking out into the distance.
A plane whistled across the magnificent sunset in the sky and slowly landed on the tarmac.
…
"Xiao Feng, open.
"If you read this letter, please don't blame Tang Tang.
I asked her to keep it a secret. I can't tell you the truth before you read this letter.
But now, it shouldn't matter anymore.
"By the time you read this letter, I'll probably be getting ready to board the flight to Manchester."
"Yeah, I'm leaving.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance, but please don't blame me. I really don't know how to tell you this.
"Actually, since the day I transferred here half a year ago, I've been prepared. I'll study in Shisan High School for half a year and then transfer to the UK to continue studying and living there. This is what I told my family a long time ago."
"I'm sorry I can't take the college entrance exam with everyone.
"I'm sorry I've been hiding these secrets from you.
"I'm sorry I can't keep you company anymore.
"I still have to thank you and everyone else for helping me celebrate my birthday that day. I'm truly, truly happy. Also, the present you gave me, Eich and the Barbarian King. It just so happens that they make a perfect pair.
"And thank you for being with me that night on the rooftop.
"That hug … I guess it's a little privilege and selfishness of the birthday girl.
"I can't say goodbye to you in person, but that hug is a substitute for saying goodbye.
"I can guess that you must be very, very angry now, right?
"But don't be angry, okay? I'm very sad too. You know, the last thing I want is to make you angry and unhappy, but …
"But, I really don't have a choice.
"If it's possible, I want to continue to accompany you and prepare for the college entrance exam that's coming in the last month. Maybe we can get into the same university and watch you create a team. I can continue to be your coach and analyst. Then, I can accompany you back to the professional esports circle, win the LSPL and LPL championships, rush into the S Series finals again, make up for the regrets of the past, defeat F, and become the world's strongest mid laner.
"Those future things … Just thinking about it makes me feel happy. I can't help but laugh.
"But, I'm sorry.
"This time … I really can't accompany you."
