Chapter 64 She

Xin Tianyi did not go to see Wang Fang off.

She walked them out of the alley and finally stood in the courtyard, watching Wang Fang and Li Zhiye leave.

Wang Fang didn't look back from the moment she walked out of the house. Xin Tianyi knew that if he called out to Wang Fang at this moment, she would definitely burst into tears.

Maybe Wang Fang, who has always been looking forward and moving forward, is now crying her eyes out.

Li Zhiye, on the other hand, turned back and waved to everyone from time to time, asking them to go back because it was too cold.

After watching them slowly walk out of the living quarters gate, turn the final corner, and disappear onto the road, Wang Yuxiu and Xie Mei finally turned back.

"Tianyi, go home." Xie Mei called Xin Tianyi.

Xin Tianyi looked ahead and said to Xie Mei, "Grandma, you guys go back first. I'll be back later."

Xie Mei looked at her deeply and nodded: "Okay, it's cold outside, don't stay too long."

After everyone returned home, Xin Tianyi was the only one left in the huge living area.

The cotton mill's living quarters were always rather deserted during the Lunar New Year. Most families had returned to their hometowns for the holidays, or were visiting relatives and friends. Those who were still at home huddled together around the stove, roasting sweet potatoes, peanuts, and melon seeds, drinking hot tea, chatting, and enjoying the joy of family time.

Xin Tianyi stood there for a long time before he walked forward, following Wang Fang's footsteps.

She could imagine how sad Wang Fang was, but Xin Tianyi also knew that Wang Fang would digest all these emotions along the way, and when she returned home, she would continue her life without stopping.

But the moment of parting is always painful.

Not only Wang Fang, but also Xin Tianyi.

Her mother had passed away again. In this vast world, there was no one closest to her by her side.

And every Chinese New Year, Xin Tianyi would fall into pain and memories, because Xin Ziqian died during the Chinese New Year.

Xin Tianyi's longing for Xin Ziqian lasted for two lifetimes. The pain and longing, coupled with Wang Fang's departure, made Xin Tianyi's mood sink to the lowest point.

She walked forward silently, following the path Wang Fang had just walked, and continued walking until she reached the gate of the cotton mill.

If he hadn't come here, Xin Tianyi might not have seen Bai Xue again.

But somehow, Xin Tianyi reached the gate. She stared into the distance, wondering if Wang Fang and Li Zhiye had arrived at the train station. Then she told herself, "It can't be that soon. They've only just boarded the train."

Xin Tianyi looked at the few people on the road and turned to go home, but when he turned around, he saw that familiar face.

She thought she had seen it wrong for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly called out Bai Xue's name.

"Snow White?"

Bai Xue was standing not far from the gate of the living area, looking at Xin Tianyi.

Bai Xue smiled and opened her arms towards Xin Tianyi.

Xin Tianyi ran over like the wind, and the two hugged each other tightly.

Bai Xue didn't wear any makeup today, and wore her hair in a ponytail like usual. She was wearing the simplest clothes: long pants, a cotton coat, and a pair of sneakers she wore to school.

"Where have you been?" Xin Tianyi looked at Bai Xue and asked excitedly, "Are you here to find me? Really? Really?"

Bai Xue nodded: "I came here to find you! I've come all this way, who else can I find if not you?"

The pain of separation was overwhelmed by the impact of reunion. Xin Tianyi stared at Bai Xue happily and spun her around a few times, "Come on, let me see you! How could you suddenly disappear, and for so long? You know, it's been half a year! I've been looking for you everywhere, but I can't find you. Sometimes I wonder if I'll run into you on the road, but I never do."

Bai Xue looked at Xin Tianyi with a smile: "I'm here, aren't I?"

"By the way, there's Dabao. He's been asking me if I've seen you. Come on, I'll take you to find them. Zhang Yang and Wei Ran should be at home too." Xin Tianyi pulled Bai Xue inside. Bai Xue followed behind, looking at Xin Tianyi's hair fluttering in the wind.

After not seeing her for half a year, Xin Tianyi's hair had grown longer. Now it was longer than her ears and spread out beside them. When the wind blew, the hair danced gently with her steps.

Bai Xue has met countless girls in the past six months, but she still misses Xin Tianyi the most.

Bai Xue feels that every girl she knows is different, yet they all seem the same. But Xin Tianyi is different. In Bai Xue's heart, she is the most special.

She is not like any other girl, she is just herself.

She is serious, hardworking and very lucky. She has lost her father and is far away from her mother, but she has her best friend by her side.

She is passionate and reserved, and she can clearly distinguish between love and hate, black and white. If she likes something, she likes it; if she dislikes something, she dislikes it.

She enjoys her youth with abandon and strives hard to get everything she deserves.

Bai Xue could never forget that summer when they worked hard together to prepare for the high school entrance exam. When they were sweating profusely, the sweat from her palms made it difficult for Bai Xue to even hold a pen.

Sometimes she wanted to give up, but when she turned around and saw Xin Tianyi struggling desperately with a math problem, Bai Xue wiped the sweat from her palms and picked up the pen again.

That summer, Xin Tianyi held up his test paper and said happily to Bai Xue, "Bai Xue, look, I passed the math test!"

Bai Xue felt that she would never forget that face that smiled at her. It also inspired her to stand up again, just like Xin Tianyi, even when she was at her lowest point.

"Let's go find Wei Ran and Zhang Yang first, and then go get Dabao together." Xin Tianyi said excitedly to Bai Xue as they walked. "Dabao will definitely be thrilled!"
