After I calmed down, I looked around and found Yang Sisi squatting not far away. She was wearing a backpack and the Air Jordans I had given her, and she was smiling at me with her chin on her hand.

If this was a prank, she succeeded.

If this wasn't a prank, I was also terrified by her appearance! I stared at her, speechless for a long time…

In my mind, she is the one furthest away from me.

...

My appearance made Yang Sisi burst into laughter. I was furious, so I picked up the box that had been kicked away earlier and slammed it down on her head, yelling, "If I had a heart condition, I'd be dead by now! It doesn't matter if I die, but who will take care of my parents...?"

Yang Sisi replied vaguely, "Me? I'll go and take care of your parents... You can rest assured and die."

"Incorrigible!"

"Let go quickly, I can't catch my breath."

"You should apologize first, and then see if you'll cause trouble again...?"

"Stop making a scene, whoever makes a scene is a dog... Let go of me right now, if I die, no one will take care of my parents!"

"They're rotten to the core!"

I cursed and then removed the box from Yang Sisi's head... She was fixing her hair while looking at me, and I don't know if it was my imagination, but under the starlight, there was something shimmering in her eyes, like tears... But the next second I felt like she was grinning mischievously.

Because she was indeed laughing.

...

In the open space of the "bed sheet factory," Yang Sisi and I sat side by side. I smoked, while she hugged her knees and tapped the ground with her feet, looking rather restless. After a while, she asked me, "How have you been lately?"

"I can't really say... it's about half good and half bad, what about you?"

"I'm studying hard and trying to improve every day."

"Then why did you come back? Do schools abroad also have a Spring Festival holiday?"

Yang Sisi turned to look at me and replied, "My dad wants to buy me a house over there. If it's in my name, he needs to have proof of assets from a domestic bank... So, that's why I came back."

I nodded, and then I remembered that Yang Sisi had indeed mentioned that her parents were going to buy her a house abroad. I hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but I didn't expect it to be finalized so quickly. This meant that they were planning to let Yang Sisi settle down there, or at least had that idea... After that, it would probably be even harder to see her.
