letter
Tong Xiaolai woke up in the afternoon of the next day.
The sunlight shone obliquely into the room through the window, falling on the mobile phone and keys on the table, reflecting the light.
He sat up and looked at the things on the table. He instinctively felt that just like yesterday, Ali was just going out for a short while and would be back soon.
That's good, so I don't have to say goodbye again, he thought.
Last night he saw Ali's back as he sat alone on the balcony, looking so frail and helpless.
He knew that Ali was worried about him, but Fang Zhiheng was the demon chasing him, and he shouldn't let his demon bother Ali.
He decided to find Fang Zhiheng today and go back with him.
As he thought about it, he opened the letter. It wasn't just a few simple words, it was a real letter, a farewell letter...
After just one glance, he rushed out with the letter. He was breathing rapidly and staring at the numbers on the elevator going down one floor at a time in panic. As he stared, tears began to fall down his face.
Ah Li...
As the elevator door opened, he ran out, heading towards Shao Liyin's company, towards the school, towards the street where he often waited for takeout, and even towards the urban village where he used to live.

Smile, I love you.
Have I never said these three words to you before? I'm sorry for my dereliction of duty, but it's not too late now.
You called me Ali and gave me a betrothal gift, so I will consider that we are already married. You can't go back on your word.
Forget it, I accepted the betrothal gift, and I have nothing to give in return. Just think of yourself as a liar. Yes, I am a big liar. I deceived your body and your heart. After I deceived you, I ran away. You must hate me.
If you meet someone suitable while I'm away, just accept her and forget about me.
Your scholarship is in the bank card on the table.
Didn't you expect that?
You little bastard, you've even learned to threaten me! So what if I linked my SMS? I can't transfer money from one card to another?
You still call yourself a genius, but you are not as good as me at all. Give me that crappy test sheet, maybe I can get full marks.
Uh, I got off track, let’s get back to the topic.
I don't earn much, and your scholarship is just over $100,000, which should be enough for you to live on until you find a job.
Well, it seems not enough. You can earn more scholarships in college. There is no other way. I love money like my life, so I can only save this much. It is not even as much as your scholarship.
Alas, we agreed that you would work and earn tens of millions for me to spend, and I would no longer be able to drink tea and appreciate flowers at home. I guess I’m being cheap with you.
Smile...
Don't waste your time looking for me, you won't find me.
If you really want to find me, there is a way. Take the college entrance examination seriously, live a good life, work hard, and wait until you earn tens of millions.
No, it would be better to have 100 million or more. Who made me demand more now?
When you have hundreds of millions, I might come to find you.
Smile...
Don't be afraid of Fang Zhiheng anymore, he will definitely go to jail.
I've said before, my smile has a bright future ahead of you, and you deserve to shine brightly. No one can drag you into the abyss again.
Smile...
Before she died, my mother told me to eat well, at least three times a day. To sleep well, eight hours a day. To study hard and live a good life.
I'm giving you this sentence. I haven't done any of it, and I've been living a muddled life. You must do it, promise me, okay?
Since you didn't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement.
Smile...
Remember to drink milk, don't stop eating fruit, remember to change your clothes in time, and don't buy gloves that cost five thousand dollars casually.
Smile...
I seem to have a lot to say to you, but also seem to have not so much to say. Xiaolai, do you think I don’t love you enough?
Do you have something to say to me? Never mind, I can't hear you.
Smile...
Am I nagging like an old mother? Forget it, you just dislike me. If you dislike me, go find a "Xinhui daughter" quickly. You deserve that.
Smile...
I seem to be a little scared.
I am afraid of going to the hospital, getting injections, and never seeing you again.
I'm still afraid, afraid that you'll come looking for me. Don't come looking for me, I'll wait for you to make 100 million.
Smile and live a good life. No matter where you are, I will be happy as long as I have news from you.
Promise me, don't make me sad...
I won’t say anymore, let me tell you the truth at last——
Before I met you, I never had a genuine smile. After I met you, my smile has never diminished...
You are the best smile, the only one I have in my life.
You love your brother Li of money... you love your A Li

Tong Xiaolai went to Shao Linyin's company. They said that Shao Linyin had resigned and left in a hurry. When he arrived at the company, he handed over the maintenance ladder in his hand to a colleague and could not contact him again.
He went to the street where Shao Liyin often waited for takeout orders. There was no familiar figure there, but the "younger brother" was still there: "Did you see the older brother who gave you the gloves?"
"Brother" shook his head.
He went to that village in the city and got off the bus at the bus stop. No one would hug him among the people getting on and off the bus. No one would let him hug her when the New Year's bell rang and tell her, "It turns out that smiling lips are sweet."
When he walked into the village entrance, the fried rice stall had already opened, and the surrounding area was still bustling with people. But no one would say to him seriously, "Since I've kept you, you have a home. If you have a home, why should I let you continue to look like a homeless person?"
When he arrived at the tube-shaped building, he found that new people had already moved into 402, and there was no longer any atmosphere that belonged to them.
He went to a bench by the lake and waited until the sun was setting and he could no longer see the familiar people. He smiled and said to him, "You won't have to go hungry anymore, you won't have to endure being sick anymore, and you'll have a place to live."
He went to the bench in front of the Phoenix Forest at school. Ali would always wait for him there. But now it was empty. Students who had finished their evening self-study were returning to the dormitory in twos and threes.
He sat here, the letter paper in his hand had been wrinkled and soaked with sweat or tears. He hurriedly spread it out and let the wind dry the water stains.
"Laugh...
Don't waste your time looking for me, you won't find me."
Only then did he realize that in the past two years, Shao Liyin's entire life revolved around him.
If she disappeared from his side, he would never be able to find Shao Linyin again.
Shao Liyin understood him, but he couldn't find him.
