Chapter 20 A brief departure is for a better encounter"So you're leaving?" Two children were sitting on the steps, each holding an ice cream in their hands. The boy had already eaten half of it, but the girl hadn't even opened the package. "Why don't you eat it? It will melt in a while." Chu Yi looked at Lin Siyao with a puzzled expression. "I don't want to eat. I'll get fat." Lin Siyao lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "After I leave, you won't forget me so quickly, right?" "Do I look like someone who is that oblivious?" Chu Yi took a big bite of the ice cream and then said, "If you're worried that I'll forget, you can give me a gift so that I can remember you as soon as I see the gift." "Here."
Lin Siyao seemed to be waiting for Chu Yi to speak, and immediately handed the badge in his hand to him. "This is the latest hibernation badge. It can hold five pets and ten cubic meters of items. You can use this from now on." As Lin Siyao spoke, he pinned the badge directly on Chu Yi's chest, and finally patted him gently, as if to leave a mark in his heart. Chu Yi looked at Lin Siyao seriously and found that she was becoming more and more beautiful. Under the jet-black hair is an extremely delicate face. Although she is only seven years old, she can be seen as a rare beauty. In a few years, she will surely grow up to be a stunning beauty. Today, Lin Siyao was wearing a blue and white floral dress. A pair of snow-white, straight calves appeared from under the dress, and on her feet were a pair of black, round-toed leather shoes. Pure, green, tender, and playful, Chu Yi tried his best to use beautiful words to describe her one-tenth beauty. But he found that he didn't need to say it anymore, because his blushing cheeks said more than a thousand words. "Give me." Lin Siyao stretched out his hand towards Chu Yi. The slender palm was white with a hint of pink, and one could tell at a glance that it was cool and smooth. "What for you?" Chu Yi was very confused. "I'm leaving soon. Shouldn't you give me a parting gift?" As Lin Siyao spoke, his eyes became dangerous: "Or did you not prepare anything for me at all?" "How is that possible!" Chu Yi argued loudly, then put his hands into his trouser pockets. There was nothing to feel except a wad of stiff napkins. "It's still not too late to buy it now." Lin Siyao crossed his arms, his eyes full of disappointment, but he was still willing to give him a chance. “Do you have a guitar at home?” Chu Yi suddenly asked with a quick thought.
"You can also play the guitar?" Lin Siyao looked suspicious. "I composed a song specifically for you. It's one you've never heard before." Chu Yi said confidently. "Don't fool me." Lin Siyao looked at him doubtfully, then ran to his father's study and got a guitar. This guitar is very big, almost as tall as Chu Yi. Fortunately, he is very strong, otherwise he would not be able to do it. Chu Yi hung the guitar around his neck skillfully and stood in front of Lin Siyao: "The next song is my parting gift to Sister Lin Siyao. Our separation now is not forever, but for a better meeting." After saying that, Chu Yi flicked his wrist lightly and began to pluck the strings of the piano. The pleasant melody flowed out from between his fingers. (The background music here is "Goodbye", originally sung by Zhang Zhenyue) "I'm afraid I won't have a chance Say goodbye to you Because maybe I'll never see you again Tomorrow you will leave the familiar place and me When we have to separate, my tears will fall......" The boy's melodious singing made the girl open her eyes in surprise, and her trembling pupils proved how excited she was at the moment. She didn't expect that Chu Yi could really play the guitar and sing so beautifully. And it was really a song she had never heard before! Lin Siyao imagined that he would give her postcards, bows, and diaries. Although they were ordinary, she would gladly accept them. But this gift was something she had never expected, and it made her feel much more satisfied than the previous ones. "I will remember your face I will cherish you and miss you These days are in my heart It will never pass …………” Chu Yi's singing continued, but Lin Siyao's eyes were already sparkling. I don’t know how long it took, but Chu Yi’s singing finally ended. He looked up at Lin Siyao: "How about it, are you satisfied with this gift?" "I'm satisfied. It sounds very nice." Lin Siyao wiped the tears from his face and said while sniffing. "You cried?" "I'm not crying, I just got sand in my eyes." Lin Siyao raised her chin slightly and said stubbornly, "I'm Queen Siyao, how could I be in such an embarrassing situation as crying?" "When did you get this title?" Chu Yi asked doubtfully. Lin Siyao curled his lips and said, "My elementary school classmates gave me this name. They all said I was fierce and difficult to get along with. It's because I'm pretty, otherwise they would call me Siyao the old witch."
"You could try to be nice." "They don't deserve it." Lin Siyao snorted coldly. Chu Yi blinked: "What about me?" "You are the only exception." Lin Siyao put his hands on his hips and smiled proudly. Chu Yi also laughed, and then he said, "Let me sing it again. You can record it with your phone. If you miss me, take it out and watch it." "Only a ghost would miss you!" Lin Siyao sneered, but still took out his mobile phone with an honest attitude and pointed the camera at Chu Yi. After singing it again, Chu Yi sat on the steps to rest. With a dry mouth, he asked Lin Siyao for the ice cream she didn't eat. Lin Siyao sat next to him, smiling, humming the simple yet beautiful melody. The sunlight warmly shone on the two shadows together, as if they would never be separated. The cicadas on the trees are chirping desperately, as if they are dying with this summer, or as if they are cheering for a new life... "So we can video chat with the outside world from inside the secret realm?" A few days later, Lin Siyao, who had already arrived in the secret realm, initiated a video chat with Chu Yi. "You seem very disappointed?" Lin Siyao couldn't help laughing. "No, it's just something I didn't expect." Chu Yi shook his head, and in his heart he said "mmp" but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. When we met a few days ago, the atmosphere was like a farewell of life and death, as if we would never see each other again after this separation. As a result, a cross-space call came a few days later, and the picture was so clear. It seemed that he had indeed underestimated the technology of this world. "But I will be training with my master from now on, so I won't be able to talk to you very often. I'll call you when I have the chance." After just a few words, Lin Siyao hung up the phone in a hurry. When Chu Yi heard the word "cultivation", he became curious about this secret realm and immediately looked up relevant information.
