Summer days are always long, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the sky, creating a magnificent sunset that dyes the clouds a fiery red.
After finishing their meal, the three chatted and enjoyed the cool shade under the walnut tree.
The evening breeze was cool, and Lin Yu sat quietly at the stone table, but for some reason, a sense of unease crept into his heart.
"Lin Yu!"
The familiar voice made Lin Yu turn his head sharply to look at the entrance of the courtyard.
Hang Suisui stood outside the courtyard looking at him with a smile on her face and slightly out of breath.
He knew she would come looking for him.
Lin Yu's dark pupils gleamed slightly.
Outside the courtyard, at a fork in the road not far away, the glow of the sunset shone on two small figures.
Hang Suisui tied the last knot on Lin Yu's left wrist: "Don't take this bead off until you come of age."
"You must always carry this amulet with you; never let it leave your side."
"With these two things, your life will definitely get better in the future, so no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, Lin Yu, don't give up hope."
Lin Yu's pupils contracted, and he quickly grabbed Hang Suisui's hand after she finished tying the knot.
His eyes were fixed on her.
"Where are you going!?"
Hang Suisui's hand was a little sore from Lin Yu's tight grip, and she frowned slightly.
That brat, he's not very big, but he's got a lot of strength in his hands.
Hang Suisui kept her eyes down, unaware of the unease that was about to overflow in Lin Yu's dark eyes, and the helplessness deep within them.
Is she leaving too?
Is even she going to abandon him?
Why? Why did everyone leave him in the end?!
Lin Yu's dark eyes gradually lost control, and just as the deep, dark pool was about to sink into silence, he was soothed by a tender, gentle voice.
Hang Suisui raised her other chubby little hand and placed it on the back of Lin Yu's hand that was holding hers. The cool temperature of her palm made Hang Suisui unconsciously tighten her grip.
"Go to the future, and when you live a good life, grow up, and become a very capable and dazzling person, we will meet again."
She wanted to give Lin Yu's life a direction, to help him grow in that direction, so that Lin Yu would definitely have a bright future.
Once Lin Yu lives a good life, grows up, and becomes outstanding, he will emerge from the shadows of the past.
You will meet someone equally wonderful and spend the rest of your life with them.
She had to go and complete her mission, and they probably wouldn't see each other again.
Of course, Hang Suisui didn't think that a six-year-old child could have a strong memory. The future was twenty years later, so she didn't think Lin Yu would still remember this promise twenty years from now.
She was just trying to coax a child.
But what Hang Suisui didn't know was that what she said was unintentional, but what she heard was taken seriously.
His palms and the backs of his hands were enveloped in soft warmth, a stark contrast to his cool body temperature, which brought some thoughts back to Lin Yu's blank mind.
Lin Yu's dark eyes were fixed on Hang Suisui's glassy eyes, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a faint golden glow on the little girl before him.
Her skin was as white as snow, her face delicate and round, and the bright red cinnabar mark between her brows made her seem otherworldly under the golden light.
The right arm, with its smooth and delicate skin, showed no trace of burns.
Lin Yu's eyes darkened slightly.
Yes.
She is a fairy.
Lin Yu opened his mouth: "…………Okay."
The faint sound seemed to be blown away by the wind.
Under the same glow of the sunset, Lin Yu's slender body seemed as if it were about to be blown away by the wind.
Lin Yu stared intently at the green figure gradually disappearing on the path, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with an almost insane obsession.
When someone is drowning in the dark and someone pulls him out of the water and gives him hope again, he will want to hold on to that ray of light that has illuminated him so that he can feel at ease again.
He will wait until they meet again.
He will definitely become the most dazzling person.
So that she can find him at a glance.
They will meet again...
Definitely!
As if sensing something, the walnut tree shook its massive branches and leaves, and some leaves drifted down, landing on Lin Yu, who was touching the new buds at its roots.
That day, when the new shoot grew, it did not escape Lin Yuying's eagle-like eyes.
Although Hang Suisui had her back to them and he didn't see the process of the new sprout growing in an instant, he knew that it must be related to Hang Suisui.
Lin Yu suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know her name. He hadn't asked, and she hadn't told him...
The black, carved wooden plaque swayed slightly in front of his chest.
Lin Yu was momentarily stunned. Her pale pink lips were bitten until they turned white, and her slender, white fingers were digging tightly into the soil next to the new bud.
"Hey, Zhu Kui, have you heard? Some important people came to our village this afternoon!"
"The village chief and the director personally went to receive us!"
"Oh, you didn't see it! It was so luxurious, I didn't dare to look at it for long!"
"I heard they're here to find someone. Do you think there's such a distinguished person in our village?"
"It seems their surname is Yin..."
