“Lei Lei!” Chu Yue’s voice was choked with emotion.
Yun Lei opened her eyes, “I’ve always said that someone like you, pure and sensitive, can easily get hurt in love. I’ve been hurt before, so I want to advise you: nothing lasts forever. What we must do is ensure our own happiness and joy…” In the soft moonlight, her eyes radiated sincerity.
“Lei Lei!” Chu Yue could only call her name, unable to say anything more. Tears welled up in her eyes, her heart filled with emotion. With a friend like this, what more could one ask for?
A restless night passed. Both were wide awake in the darkness, staring blankly.
The next day, Yun Lei didn’t take Chu Yue to the airport, only seeing her onto the bus. Chu Yue understood her intentions, and so did Yun Lei. The farewell atmosphere at the airport could easily bring tears.
So, she simply smiled, hugged Yun Lei, and boarded the bus.
“Chu Yue, you must be happy!” As the car sped away, Yun Lei shouted after her. Chu Yue’s tears finally broke through, flowing torrentially. Little did she know, this would be their final farewell. Years later, whenever Chu Yue recalled this moment, she would inevitably be moved to tears…
She returned to Beijing that same afternoon. She sent a message to Yun Lei to report her safe arrival, and Yun Lei only replied with a smiley face. Chu Yue knew she was busy and didn’t want to disturb her further. During the week in Zhuhai, Yun Lei had accompanied her everywhere. But Yun Lei said that no matter how much money one earns, life is sad without friends! Thinking of this, Chu Yue’s heart felt warm.
Gu Yunzhi had only stayed in Zhuhai for three days before returning to Beijing. He was very busy and couldn’t play as freely as Chu Yue and the others. Before leaving Beijing, he had visited Yun Lei’s place, exchanging a few casual words before saying goodbye. Before leaving, he gave Chu Yue a business card, saying they could contact each other after she returned to Beijing.
His number was easy to remember, ending with all 6s. But what reason would she have to contact him? Chu Yue casually tossed the card into a drawer, then thought better of it and put it in her handbag.
