Chapter 235 (2/2)
”Why?” Liu Yanbo couldn't help asking.
”Because of you.” Lin Yiyi raised his head and explained, ”because I really want to see you again. If I had gone abroad at that time, I might never see you again in my life, so I want to stay and wait. Although the chance is slim, this is at least the place where you have appeared.”
”Is it worth it?” Liu Yanbo knew he shouldn't have asked, but he couldn't help asking.
Is it worth it?
Is it really worth it to stay in this sad place and endure the suffering of touching scenes and suffering the bullying and extortion from dirty people for the sake of a person who does not know who it is and will not appear again?
In the past few months, no one except Lin Yiyi herself knows how she survived, and no one can realize the pain she has suffered in her heart during this period --
whether it is worth it or not is only her own understanding.
”Worth it!” Lin Yiyi nodded firmly.
”If it's worth it, if it's worth it...” Liu Yanbo murmured and took a pendant from his neck.
The pendant is made of wood. It is carved with a Maitreya Buddha who is poor in craftsmanship but still laughs. It has been soaked in oil for a long time, so it is now dark and shiny.
Liu Yanbo stroked the pendant with his hand again and again. His expression was complicated, including sadness, reluctance, and missing. He said in a low voice: ”this is not a valuable thing, but I have always worn it since I was a child. Now I give it to you as a farewell gift. I hope it can bring you good luck and make you laugh every day in the future 。”After that, Liu Yanbo put the pendant in Lin Yiyi's hand, then patted her gently on the shoulder and said with a smile, ”go ahead, study abroad and start a new life. Only in this way can you be worthy of the people who really care about you.”
Maybe tomorrow will be better if we change the environment.
Liu Yanbo didn't believe this sentence before, but at this moment, he is willing to firmly believe it again for the sake of this weak girl.
”Well...” Lin Yiyi looked at the pendant in her hand, and her tears came out of her eyes again. ”I will cherish it.”
Liu Yanbo didn't say anything. He also believed that she would cherish it. He also believed that one day she would be able to get out of the haze of the past and return to the sunshine -
because she was still young and had a long way to go in the future, she would meet more people who really cared for her.
The cigarette is burning, the smoke is winding, but it is quickly blown away by the wind, but it still leaves traces.
Lin Yiyi sniffs, she wants to remember the taste of the man around her, remember a lifetime, so as to find him in the vast sea of people in the future.
She looked at his side face and asked softly, ”can I see you again in the future?”
”Of course.” Liu Yanbo also turned to look at her, with a gentle smile on his face, and said mildly, ”when you are successful in your studies, when you grow up and have a promising future, maybe I will ask you for help one day.”
This is his expectation as well as a hope -
that she has a positive goal and hopes that she will get better and better.
”I will, I will.”
Lin Yiyi smile, this is her first smile for a long time. The smile is very shallow, but it is brilliant enough, just like a rainbow that has experienced the wind and rain, and the plum blossom standing in the wind, frost, rain and snow opens with shame: ”I don't know your name yet?”
”My name is Liu Yanbo.” Liu Yanbo told the truth.
Liu Yanbo --
Lin Yiyi recited his name silently in his heart, lowered his cerebellar pouch and said, ”elder brother Liu, can I make the last request?”
”Say it.” Liu Yanbo nodded.
Lin Yiyi bit his lips, his face flushed, and he summoned his courage and said, ”can you take me home?”
