Chapter 77 - Leaving The Town To Longmen City (1/2)

A week flew by. Dong Ruan had already completed the school transfer for Yun Jian while Qin Yirou had packed up belongings that she was moving away.

They did not actually have much, only a few sets of clothes. They could never afford anything else anyway.

Yun Yi knew that they were moving this week and had rushed home from school to help out as well as, packing his clothes and some useful books among other things.

When they left, the neighbors who shared a good relationship with Qin Yirou came to bid them farewell.

Lu Feiyan and the basketball team members were all there as well.

“Xiao Jian, you ought to stay well. Take care of yourself. We’ve made a promise. We’re going to study in the same high school in one year’s time, it’s a deal!” Lu Feiyan forced a smile at Yun Jian despite her impulse to cry.

“Mm, for sure!” Yun Jian nodded and patted the girl’s hand.

This girl was the first person to show her true concern since her rebirth.

The word “friends” held extraordinary significance.

“Ah… you’re leaving so suddenly… Our team finally got a girl who can play so well but you’re going away…” Wu Kui did not know how to send Yun Jian off. He was a ‘man’ and he could not weep like a girl, thus he could only express his feelings bluntly.

Yun Jian met his eyes with a smile. Having spent days together, she too had taken the basketball team as her friends.

“We’ll meet again in Longmen City one year from now!” Yun Jian’s farewell speech was short but it gave everyone anticipation.

“Okay! You’ll have to be our guide by then!” Li Xiangyi said with a chuckle and a habitual scratch on his head as he stood on the side.

Yun Jian nodded with a grin, her beauty dazzling everyone again.

“Xiao Jian, Xiao Yi, we’ve got to go. We’ll miss the bus if we’re late. Let’s board now.” Qin Yirou bid goodbye to her neighbors respectively and called her children.

She was finally leaving this place for which she spent half of her life living in, but it had grown to dishearten her. It was as if the burden in her heart was relieved during this moment.

As the family boarded the bus they departed.

Yun Jian could see Lu Feiyan shouting goodbye chasing the vehicle when she turned back, until she could no longer see the latter.

She could not lay a finger on how she felt at that point of time, but she knew that she was destined to keep moving forward.
