Collapse, I became their salvation?

She always knew that Tu Bai was leaving, but she had kept this thought deep in her heart until now when she couldn't help but ask.

Perhaps I was just thinking about this incident when I tossed and turned during those nights.

Tu Bai reached out and rubbed the girl's head, speaking softly.

"Kiana, you've grown up."

"You are already a person who can stand on your own compared to when we first met. Even if I am not here, you can still go on."

Over the past few months, Tu Bai also discovered that the Destiny Force had changed from hunting down Kiana to testing him.

Although there is no difference in approach, there is a big difference in essence.

If they concentrate on hunting down Kiana, they might actually be able to catch Tubai in an opportunity and cause him a lot of trouble.

But now it seems more like a test of his strength.

Therefore, he felt a lot more relieved. At least that bastard Otto was willing to let Kiana go to Changkong City.

Kiana raised her head and looked into Tubai's eyes.

"But Uncle Twelve, why do I have to separate from you when I grow up?"

"If that's the case, I'd rather not grow up."

She trained hard and even studied hard, just to not hold Tu Bai back and to be able to stay by his side.

But she has done so much, why do they still have to separate?

She grabbed the clothes on Tu Bai's chest and cried so hard that it was difficult for her to breathe. Her intermittent voice was full of reluctance.

"Don't be silly, Kiana."

Tu Bai's tone became gentler.

"Everyone's path to growth is often accompanied by separation, but it doesn't matter, Kiana."

“Growth is not just about leaving, it’s also about new encounters, new friends, new partners.”

"And as long as you keep walking on this path, one day, we will meet again."

Tu Bai looked down at Kiana in his arms.

“Say goodbye to the past in order to move towards the future.”

"I will stop and wait for you on the road ahead."

Tu Bai gently stroked the girl's back, and her sobbing body gradually calmed down and her breathing also became steady.

She fell asleep from excessive grief.

"Goodnight, Kiana."

In the haze, Kiana seemed to hear the voice of Uncle Twelve, but his voice did not have that cold feeling.

So warm...

Chapter 35: Good morning, Kiana

The dream finally ended.

When the girl opened her eyes dazedly, the person she saw was no longer the familiar person.

But it was a cave that was not very familiar.

Perhaps because they worried that she was afraid of the dark, there was a night light next to the girl.

Looking at the light blue light, the girl sat up and looked around blankly.

After a while, she spoke tentatively.

"Uncle Twelve?"

The empty cave continued to echo, but received no response.

The only sunlight at the cave entrance was swaying slightly due to the shaking of leaves.

For no apparent reason, the girl began to sob.

She huddled in the corner holding her backpack, her crying getting louder and louder.

Reason told her that she shouldn't cry so loudly.

But she could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears.

Around where the girl was sleeping were all kinds of supplies necessary for survival that Tu Bai had prepared long ago.

Not far away was an exquisite pistol, which was the one Tubai gave to the girl when she started practicing shooting.

There are some gloomy caves with no one around.

The girl felt as if she was back in the snowy field.

But only the girl herself knows what she went through and what happened.

There are so many places I haven’t been to, and so many words I haven’t said.

Although the two walked a long way, they had already walked out of the snowfield.

But in the girl's heart, perhaps she has never left that snowy field.

The coveted tenderness, the dark yet reassuring cloak, and that...

A slightly warm heart.

The cold reality and the constantly flickering images were constantly tearing away the only remaining warmth around Kiana.

She felt so cold, but the memories were so vivid.

She couldn't help but immerse herself in those beautiful pictures.

Slowly, the girl's crying began to weaken. Her tears had run out and her voice began to become hoarse.

But her heart was still so sad.

Memories were woven into a knife, cutting out a piece of her heart.

It was clearly an imaginary knife, but the pain was so real.

Kiana looked at the backpack in her arms with tearful eyes.

She slowly unzipped it.

There was no such thing as the Houmu doll that Tubai had imagined.

There was only a brochure.

What is contained inside is the memories shared by the two.

Maybe it was a leaf from a pine tree in the snowy field, or maybe it was a tent peg that Tubai lost at some point.

There are also bamboo sticks left over from Kiana eating candied haws, or red strings used for praying...

A whole booklet was filled with just a few months of travel.

Every item above was recorded by Kiana.

From the crooked words at the beginning to the gradually neat words on the last page, they also reflect the girl's growth.

If Tu Bai were here, he would definitely be able to tell that this was the first time Kiana asked him for pocket money to buy a booklet.

A long time ago, he had only seen this booklet once when Kiana bought it secretly.

He just thought that Kiana wanted to write a diary, so he ignored it.

I never thought of taking a peek.

But this......

It was a gift from the girl.

An unfinished gift, a gift that I never want to finish.

In fact, even if Tu Bai had seen it once, he would know that this was a gift prepared for him by Kiana.

But out of respect, he would even deliberately avoid the girl when she was writing her diary.

This leaves the girls plenty of privacy.

But it is precisely because of this respect that this gift has not been given away.

Kiana's tears had dried on her face, and she stared blankly at the booklet in her arms.

The tears that had been unable to come out flowed out again.

"Liar...Uncle Twelve is also a liar..."

He clearly promised not to leave secretly, but he left quietly when she was asleep.

Just like stinky dad.

Before losing consciousness, Kiana heard everything Tubai said, but she felt that such a farewell was not good at all.

She knew that Uncle Twelve's way of saying goodbye was just to make her less sad.

He might be having a hard time too, or even more worried.

She bit her lip and even though it bled, she still didn't react.

She can guarantee that if she has another chance to say goodbye, she will definitely say goodbye to Uncle Twelve with a smile.

Say goodbye properly.

At least I will give away this gift and this thought.

Can......

Kiana looked at the backpack on the ground in the distance, wiped the tears from her face, and crawled over.

　咎*＠０㈣⑻◎+④弭救坽５ Hedgehog 4% off＄∮Purchasing agent: There are not many survival items prepared in it, but more of the currency of Changkong City.

The amount was huge, the largest she had ever seen, enough for her to reach Changkong City and not have to worry about survival for a year.

Below the coin, there was a note without any sentimental words, only two words.

【come on! 】

What Uncle Twelve prepared was as thoughtful as usual.

But it was this thoughtfulness that made Kiana's tears fall again.

While wiping her tears, she carefully put the note into her arms.

This piece of paper is far more precious to the girl than the money.

Next to it was the life-saving item that Tu Bai had prepared for her.

In addition to a gun, there are also several extra magazines.

Without the destiny chasing her, it was enough for her to no longer worry about her survival.

And above the magazine was a box.

The girl reached out and took it, opened it and saw a crystal hairpin inside.

The two of them bargained for it on Mount Taixu.

Very cheap, yet very precious.

"Stupid Uncle Twelve...Why do you wear hairpins with pigtails?"

The girl's tears burst out again, she knelt on the ground, her tears continuously dripping on her hairpin, splashing water.

"I haven't said goodbye to you properly yet..."

Kiana's eyes were already sore, and she knew that if she continued crying, her eyes would be damaged, but she couldn't help it.

As she cried, she finally couldn't help but express her longing.

She was a fool, not strong at all, and couldn't let Tu Bai leave like this.
