June is our farewell song

Chapter 147 Unexpected Longing and Goodbye
Coming back here again, Gu Yuan had a lot of different feelings.

Through a thin transparent glass door separated by yellow cordon tied to red plastic stakes, watch the sweaty renovation workers wearing colorful safety helmets remove tables and chairs, and The cut plywood was moved out of the beyond recognition storefront, and the sweat dripped on the dusty concrete floor, connecting them into a twisted, slender and slender line.

He saw the vertical air conditioner covered by dust-proof cloth, standing alone in an unnoticed corner, and put together with a large pile of cardboard boxes sealed with nylon rope and tape, with black pen written on the box There are two words in big words—"sundries." The only thing that is still intact is the counter at the entrance of the store, next to the glass door, but the display cabinet behind the counter is also empty, let alone the shop assistants.

The wooden sign in front of the door is still there, and the winter jasmine next to it is also in full bloom, but the words on the wooden sign have been erased.

"I don't know where all those postcards went..."

Gu Yuan thought of the wooden cabinets with four sides in the past, and the postcards neatly stacked on it, the paper ones and the wooden ones, the prices were three yuan and five yuan respectively. He still remembered that the signboard at that time was "Just write it down It will be permanently stored in the store, and you can come back to see it or take it away at any time."

It's only been three years, not to mention postcards, even the store is gone.

"If you mean the postcards that the kids wrote and deposited here, they're all well preserved."

With a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Gu Yuan turned his head in surprise. On the street full of sunlight and covered with winter jasmine petals, a woman stood there against the light.Her long black hair was coiled behind her head to form a bun, and she wore a black skirt. She was dressed in a very simple but decent manner. She was wearing a pair of black high-heeled shoes six to seven centimeters high. Her eyes were curved like crescent moons, and she smiled quietly.

"The store manager... Sister Ouyang?"

"Oh, it's Gu Yuan. It's been a long time since I saw you. I haven't seen you since the high school entrance examination."

"Well... because I live on campus in high school, and there are five and a half days of classes a week, so..."

"Ah, is Nanhua High School going to have classes for five and a half days? For a long time in the past, Dongyang Middle School was the only one who did this. The pressure on children nowadays is really great."

The brief greetings came to an abrupt end, and with the kiss of the high-heeled shoes on the ground, there was a crackling sound, she turned around and faced the store door, and slightly raised her head to look up at the gray wall where the signboard was originally hung. They were cat-like eyes, not very big, but very agile, but at the moment those black eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness as soft as silk.

This lady's full name is Ouyang Qian. Ever since Gu Yuan first stepped into the store of [Cat's Sky City], she has been the manager of this store. Every time Gu Yuan comes, she can Received her welcome smile from behind the counter.It is said that he has never been absent from full attendance. Even if he has been sick a few times, he has always come to the store without exception, but he will wear a mask and sit on the chair behind the counter. Getting up to say hello is recognized by people in half the city as being easy to get along with.

Ouyang Qian has a very good temper. According to herself, it is because there are too many customers in the store, and there will always be some weird guys. The powder keg guests who come here to sulk and catch fire at one point, of course, are more vexatious brats.But no matter what kind of customer it is, Ouyang Qian can handle it very well, and other shop assistants will come to her for help when they encounter situations that cannot be handled.

This is why she insists on coming to the store every day, rain or shine, [Cat in the Sky City] can lack anyone, but Ouyang Qian is the only one that cannot be missing. If Ouyang Qian is gone, many people will not be there. Will come again.

However, Ouyang Qian, who has a very good temper, also has a forbidden area that others cannot touch, that is her age.Because she is not a local, no one knows how old she is, and if a teenager calls her auntie in front of her face, she will immediately put on a cold face and add salt to your coffee and milk tea.So Gu Yuan and the others called her sister, and this was the only title Ouyang Qian would gladly accept besides "store manager" and her real name.

"Sister Ouyang, [Cat's Sky City], why is it suddenly closing? Is there any difficulty in business?"

"There are many reasons, all kinds of reasons." Ouyang Qian looked over, with a slightly bitter smile on her lips, "The relocation of Dongyang and Nanhua Junior High School, the decline in the store's performance, and the difficulties encountered in operation are just one aspect. In addition, there are also my own factors."

"itself……?"

"I think I need to rest for a while, and someone has already created a space for me to rest." Ouyang Qian's eyes drifted to superlucky across the street, "The children who love [Cat in the Sky] have a new place to go, so I figured it was time to free up my hands and focus more on myself."

Gu Yuan was dumbfounded.The glass door of Superlucky next door is constantly opening and closing, and there is an endless stream of new customers. The store is brightly lit. The redecoration during the winter vacation makes the decorations in the store look brand new. It is colorful and more suitable for the interests of young people. The vitality of this place is in sharp contrast to the depressed [Cat's Sky City], which has been mostly demolished here.

However, this is probably also a manifestation of the natural laws of the world. Newly born things will always replace the old things slowly, and newer things will gradually replace all the existing ones, turning them into history, time Even so, the wheels of history are rolling forward.

He suddenly thought of Chi Yu, and suddenly realized that the temperature remaining in his right hand had cooled down a bit. He turned his head and saw the girl with fluffy long hair jumping over the security cordon, jumping into the construction site, and The decoration workers who sorted the cardboard boxes started talking.

"Hey this..."

"That child wants to get back his own things."

Just as Gu Yuan wanted to follow in, he stopped involuntarily when he heard Ouyang Qian's words.

"Sister Ouyang, what did you just say?"

"That girl, didn't she come with you?"

"Yes, she came with me."

"There was a painting called "Spring" that hung in the store before. On the painting was a rocking chair, a parasol, and a wooden table. There was a white cat napping on the table. Surrounded by prosperous I remember you asked me about that unsigned painting." Ouyang Qian's eyes stopped on Chi Yu in the store, "That child, looks so much changed..."

"Chi Yu...is the author of that painting?!"

Gu Yuan's eyes widened involuntarily, he never expected that the artist of that painting was actually Chi Yu!

How...how could it be her...

"Yes, that's her. That child is a genius. Her paintings have a unique charm. No matter what the content of the paintings is, they can give people a radiant and warm feeling. Are you and her good friends? Never before I haven't heard you mention it, is it a new acquaintance?"

"Well... it's... a friend, I met in high school."

Gu Yuan suddenly didn't know how to look at Chi Yu who had been with him for more than a year and almost two years. Everything about this girl was so familiar to him now, but everything about her before high school was so strange.What kind of life did Chi Yu lead in a corner that he never paid attention to?
He doesn't know, he doesn't know anything.But Chi Yu knew, knew hers, and knew his.

"For a long time, you have been my dream~"

A long time, how long is it?
Looking at the profile of Chi Yu, who was frowning and pouting, worrying about the mountains of cardboard boxes, Gu Yuan clenched his hands and then loosened them, and finally relaxed with the corners of his eyes and mouth,
"It's really changed a lot. Did you learn how to make up? Compared with before, we are just two people..."

"Sister Ouyang."

Gu Yuan said softly.

"Chi Yu, what kind of person was she before?"

"Huh? Are you asking me? I don't know her very well. At that time, she looked rustic. She should be an ordinary girl in school, but she likes to draw. However, she seems to only be in She only paints when she comes to the store, because she never brings her own brushes and gouaches, she always uses them from the store.”

"Only draw when you come to the store?"

"I'm just guessing this way. Maybe she's too lazy to bring it, but an excellent painter like her usually brings her own brush when she wants to paint." Ouyang Qian said with a smile, "However, although she and I I haven't spoken much, but from her color, I can feel that she is a person full of love in her heart. Because her heart is full of love, everything related to her will shine brightly."

"He who is full of love in his heart..."

Looking at Chi Yu who was rummaging through the glove box, Gu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but get moist.

Applaud freshly baked cookies and desserts in superlucky——

Listening to Beethoven dancing after evening self-study on the playground under the moonlight——

Love food, love dance, love music——

If anything in my life is sparkling.

Must be the ones that have your snippets.

"You've always been my dream~"

I don't know what longing is, but this feeling is so indescribable, I think, this is probably... probably longing, right?It must be.

Gu Yuan thought so.

It's just that he doesn't know that longing is the furthest distance from understanding.
