The sun is shining brightly and I can almost hear the chirping of cicadas in late summer.
In the distance is a stream of colorful ribbon, flowing quietly, forever unchanged.
In the end, Jiang Li spoke first.
"Mo Jingchun, how have you been lately?"
It seemed like a very plain greeting. There was no expression on Jiang Li's face, and even his eyes did not stop at him, but were staring at the scenery in the distance.
Mo Jingchun turned his head and looked at Jiang Li's fresh and refined profile, just like the countless times he had peeked at her in his senior year of high school.
Perhaps Jiang Li knew that Mo Jingchun was looking at her, but she never turned her head.
"I'm fine, how about you?" Mo Jingchun answered with mixed feelings, looking up at the high sky.
But Jiang Li did not answer Mo Jingchun. She did not speak, and the two of them remained silent for a while.
"Can I ask you to do me a favor?" Jiang Li opened his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, and turned to look at Mo Jingchun beside him.
Mo Jingchun didn't make any extra movements. He looked at the girl in front of him who seemed a little unfamiliar and nodded.
"Can."
"Then, can you accompany me somewhere?" Jiang Li retracted her gaze and lowered her head to look at her hands tangled together between her legs.
She felt like she was about to lose control.
"Where are you going?"
Mo Jingchun looked a little puzzled and bent down slightly, as if wanting to see Jiang Li's eyes.
"Haha, where are you going?"
Jiang Li suddenly smiled. She raised her head and looked straight at Mo Jingchun. "Go to a very far place, to my hometown, to the place where I was not an orphan in the first place."
"To my house."
Mo Jingchun had never seen Jiang Li smile like this before. It was a mixture of self-mockery and sadness, and tears flowed along with the smile.
Home, go to Jiang Li’s home.
Mo Jingchun knew that Jiang Li was not an orphan before he met him.
Through that file, Mo Jingchun knew that she seemed to have had a home, and the reason why she was so obsessed with her home was because of the abandonment that Jiang Li mentioned.
To this day, Mo Jingchun actually knows nothing about Jiang Li's past.
What kind of person is she? What kind of experiences has she had? What was her childhood like? Why did she develop such a sensitive and cautious personality?
Jiang Li already knew everything about Mo Jingchun, but what about her?
"What exactly are you going to do?" Mo Jingchun continued to ask.
"I should be going to meet someone. No, I shouldn't be qualified in their eyes."
Jiang Li's expression was cheerful, but tears kept flowing down as if out of balance.
"I'm going to meet someone, someone who is very important to me, tomorrow."
Jiang Li closed his mouth and looked at the river flowing in the distance without saying anything more.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Mo Jingchun nodded solemnly, "Do you need to prepare anything? Let's go tomorrow, or..."
"Now."
Jiang Li quickly turned his head, his tearful eyes glancing at Mo Jingchun, "Let's go now. You don't need to prepare anything. You might only stay for a day."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he glanced down at Sheng Jiang who was squatting between them and said, "As for Sheng Jiang, you can leave her at the pet hospital first."
"But I..." Mo Jingchun hesitated, as if he had something else to say.
"I have bought the ticket," Jiang Li stood up, leaving his thin back in front of Mo Jingchun. With his black hair fluttering, Jiang Li looked back at him.
"Let's go."
…………
Mo Jingchun nodded and stood up from the bench. He actually just wanted to ask, why him?
Mo Jingchun took a deep breath, and he was about to explore what was hidden in the deepest part of Jiang Li's heart.
Does happiness exist for her at this moment?
After placing Ginger in the pet hospital, the two simply packed up some things and rushed to the high-speed rail station in Hangzhou.
That's right, they are going to take the high-speed rail to Huaixi Province, which is more than 800 kilometers away from Hangzhou.
They want to go back to the starting point of everything, the beginning of the story, and - does happiness exist?
"Buzz."
The high-speed train was very stable, and the two people sitting together could only feel slight vibrations.
There were not many people in the carriage where Jiang Li and Mo Jingchun were, and it was not full.
Jiang Li was still sitting in the corner inside. At this moment, she was supporting her head with her hands, leaning against the glass window and watching the scenery outside gradually drifting away.
Through her thick black hair, Mo Jingchun saw the headphones on her ears.
Perhaps she noticed his gaze, or perhaps it was just a coincidence, Jiang Li adjusted her movements and her black hair swayed slightly, covering her entire face.
Mo Jingchun withdrew his gaze, speechless again. He simply closed his eyes and rested, temporarily shutting out his chaotic heart.
Jiang Li leaned her head against the car window, looking at the scenery around her rapidly receding. She was listening to a folk song called "Zebra Zebra".
Jiang Li wasn't sure if she was the wanderer described in the song, nor was she sure if she was actually wandering around the world, but she did understand that she had to go back.
Jiang Li wants to go back to find her, her beloved grandma.
Four years have passed since Jiang Li left home. She originally thought she would never have the chance to go back, but now...
Jiang Li closed his dry eyes and did not cry.
Accompanied by the gentle folk music, Jiang Li seemed to have fallen asleep, with only the transparent car window reflecting her cold face.
