June is our farewell song

Walking through the path in the garden downstairs, all the way to the central square of the community, all kinds of flowers have sprouted new leaves in early spring, and the magnolia flower is already in bud.Lu Siyao stepped on the cobblestone path, looking at the bright moon in the sky while walking.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Looking back, I saw the boy trotting along the path.

"what happened?"

"Didn't two robberies happen in the city recently? It's too unsafe for you to go back alone. It's a system that is easy to be targeted by people. When you walk, you never look left and right. You just walk forward with your head held high." Gu Yuan approached and said, "I'll take you back, it's getting dark."

"What a lame excuse. Haven't all the culprits of the robbery been caught?"

"Ah? Is...is that so?" Gu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, "I, I didn't watch the news..."

"I don't know, I made it up." The girl glanced at him lightly, "But let's go."

"Well... let's go then."

"...It's getting dark so quickly." Just after walking out of the community, without the shelter of the buildings, the north wind on the street was still raging, Lu Siyao touched the sides of his arms symbolically, "It's still...a bit cold."

Gu Yuan paused, he was really careless, knowing that the temperature difference at night would be exaggerated, yet he didn't prepare even a single extra piece of clothing before going out.He raised his hand to sense the direction of the wind, slowed down his pace slightly, and slowly moved to Lu Siyao's left side.

Along the green belt, he and Lu Siyao walked slowly along the sidewalk.

"It's getting warmer."

"That's good……"

The left side of the body was blown cool by the wind, which was in stark contrast to the warmth that seemed to pour out continuously from the right arm.

"Hey, Gu Yuan."

"Ok?"

"Are we really going to walk back? It's a long way, at least four or ten minutes?"

Gu Yuan was taken aback for a moment, only to find that the bus stop was 100 meters away behind him, and a bus had already closed its doors, and with the humming of the hybrid engine, it started to drive towards their direction.

"...Uh, let's go back then."

"No, let's keep going." Lu Siyao glanced at the boy's chest, "Is it better?"

"...well, better."

In fact, he himself didn't know what the "good" in Lu Siyao's mouth and the "good" in his own mouth meant.

Is it more comfortable?It's more reassuring...or something else, the current him has no way to tell the difference.From the moment he confusedly picked up the key and ran out from the door to catch up with this girl, he had already given up all thinking.And the facts have proven many times that he has no way of guessing what Lu Siyao is thinking.So he was grateful to God that there was a break in the midst of all this shit and that they could walk the road so peacefully.

Under the lonely street lamp, the two walking side by side were speechless.

The connection between us is probably a little rotten.

Gu Yuan thought in his heart.

First test, then guess - what kind of result will be obtained in the end?Fortunately, I was still disappointed, it would be better to say that there is no meaning at all.The past has passed, and this is us now, her who is more and more closed in her heart, and me who can't bow my head to admit my mistakes. After those things happened, the two of us have embarked on their own different paths.

Like the plants split at both ends of the rift, as the earth's crust cracks, it slowly gets farther and farther away.The branches that were originally entangled were gradually torn apart as the root system separated, and the remaining parts continued to wear and tear.Leaving aside how to make up for it, the current us may not even have the courage to look at the cracks under our feet together.

Therefore, the warmth I feel now is actually just an illusion.

"what happened?"

"Um……?"

"You're walking slower and slower."

"Ha... Maybe I'm a little tired."

"Oh."

The girl's eyes drifted away, and the boy whose thoughts were interrupted sighed softly.

Although the current relationship is not what he wants, it may be the best result in this situation. Now that the wound has healed, even if a scar is left, it does not mean that there will be a better recovery, but it may be more serious. So let it be, just maintain the status quo.

"Ah, this place."

Hearing the girl's voice, Gu Yuan's eyes fell back to the real scene.

On the side of the road is a small playground, no, it is more appropriate to say it is a park, because apart from a small carousel in the center, there are only two swings, a hut for shooting balloons, and a stall that was once filled with clear water and small goldfish.But it has been closed, and there is no one in the park, there is not a drop of water in the pool, only a lot of fallen leaves of various colors, the table of the hut is covered with dust, it seems that it has not been used for a long time.

"It's a depression. It's been abandoned for a long time, right?" The girl walked to the swing and wiped off the dust with her hand. "It's a pity, it used to be very lively."

"No...it wasn't very lively before." Gu Yuan glanced around, "There were only a few people there when I was young, but we came more often."

"Is that so? Strange, I remember it was quite lively." The girl gently held the hanging ropes on both sides of the swing, her body followed the swing and swayed slightly back and forth. "Whether it's the aunt selling goldfish, the uncle at the shooting platform, or the sister on the merry-go-round, they are all very enthusiastic people."

"...That's because we are rare regular customers, and there is no queue every time we come, doesn't it mean that there are few people here?"

"It's true, so I was deceived, by my own memory."

"What are you talking about..." Gu Yuan turned his head and looked away. The balloons hanging on the wall of the shooting hut were broken in sevens and eights, leaving only a few sporadic ones. There were many holes in the wooden tables of the stalls beside the goldfish pond, and a few weeds crawled out of them. It could be seen that there were some traces of man-made vandalism. In the merry-go-round, even the heads of several wooden horses disappeared. The only ones that remained intact were the two swings.

The two of them often came here ten years ago, but they didn't expect it to be so dilapidated now.

Lu Siyao has had a unique personality since she was a child. Whether it is the dolls that girls like, or the toy guns and cars that many boys like, she is not interested in them at all.To be more precise, in Gu Yuan's impression, there is nothing in this world that can attract her attention, except for the tumbling river and the moon in the sky, the only thing she can look at quietly for a long time is a small goldfish in a palm-sized plastic bag.

Every time she comes here, she can lie on the edge of the pool and watch for a long time.

That's why this place became the second place where Lu Siyao could always be caught besides the riverside park.

Gu Yuan walked to the edge of the pool full of fallen leaves. This small pool, which is only one meter square, feels smaller than before. It is so narrow that it seems that one person can fill it.

At that time, Gu Yuan didn't understand why goldfish were so attractive, so he would ask the same question every time.

"What are you looking at?"

Always get the same answer.

"Looking at the fish in the pond, and us in the water."

Hearing the same words again after many years, Gu Yuan looked in the direction of the soft and clear voice. The girl was sitting on the swing and holding on to the rope, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Can you understand now?"

"Hmm... Maybe I can understand a little bit. We are fish in a pond. We think we live in the sea, but the world we see is just a small pool, not even a pond."

"Well, barely passed."

"what?"

"However, it should be considered pretty good for Gu Yuan. After all, he is an idiot. It is not easy to reach this level."

Gu Yuan wanted to refute, but suddenly something vibrated in his pocket.

He frowned and glanced at the moon in the sky, this time?Telephone?

At the same time, the music of Chopin's Nocturne came from the direction where Lu Siyao was, but it was only for a short moment, and it disappeared after the girl put her hand into her pocket.

"Zi~Zi~"

In the deserted park under the darkness of night, even the faint vibration of a mobile phone is very ear-piercing.

Gu Yuan hesitated for a while, but decided to check who was calling first. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. After hanging up, he raised his head and saw the girl who was looking away.

"No answer?" she asked.

"No more."

This feeling, this moment, I don't want to...

However, the phone vibrated again.

The humming vibration became the only sound in the world, and the eyes of the two met.

Gu Yuan bit his lip and took out his mobile phone, it was still the strange number.

"Maybe there's something important."

"It's better..." He pressed the connect button and put the phone to his ear, "Hello?"

"Brother Yuan? I'm Gao Lian. Something serious happened, and Qi Yu disappeared!"
