Chapter 18 - I allow you to cry

"Little Butterfly, you skipped classes again. Won't the head teacher give you trouble?"

Zhuang Ziang and Su Yudie walked side by side in the snack street, each holding a string of fish balls.

When Su Yudie ate, her cheeks bulged like a cute pufferfish.

She smiled and said, "I didn't skip classes. I have a leave slip."

Zhuang Ziang didn't believe it, of course: "How is it possible? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Su Yudie took off the shoulder bag on her back, unzipped it, and took out a bunch of leave slips.

There was already the signature of the head teacher on it, but the date was blank.

It means that Su Yudie can fill in the date of the day by herself whenever she thinks of it.

"Can it be like this?" Zhuang Ziang widened his eyes.

He stared at the scribbled signature for a long time, but didn't recognize a single word.

Is this someone else's head teacher?

"No, you have a leave note, why do you still need to climb over the wall?"

"It's faster to get out there, and you can eat all kinds of delicious food."

Su Yudie's foodie remarks left Zhuang Ziang speechless.

He always felt that this girl was mysterious and hard to see through.

Zhuang Ziang asked another question: "How do you know I'm unhappy?"

Su Yudie raised her right hand, extended her index finger, and poked Zhuang Ziang's chest.

She tiptoed gently and leaned close to Zhuang Ziang's ear: "Because we are friends, we have telepathy."

Zhuang Ziang's neck was numb from the hot air sprayed by the girl.

Isn't the explanation of telepathy too perfunctory?

"Come with me."

Su Yudie naturally grabbed Zhuang Ziang's wrist, took him out of the snack street, and walked down the long stone steps.

The school was built on the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was a river that ran through the city.

The river flowed quietly to the east, and the willows on both sides swayed in the wind.

The two walked through a wide green meadow and came to the riverside full of pebbles.

The seemingly inconspicuous pebbles have all experienced millions of years of river erosion and mutual collision to become round and smooth.

Compared with this, a short life of a hundred years is really insignificant.

As the ancient sages said, life is like a white horse passing by in the gap between heaven and earth.

In the long history, three months and a hundred years are actually not much different, both are fleeting.

Only when the two got close could they hear the sound of the river hitting the shore.

The cool wind blew their hair and clothes.

Su Yudie took off her shoes and socks, revealing a pair of crystal clear jade feet, and gently stepped on the smooth pebbles.

The river water flooded up and submerged her little feet.

The white waves splashed up and wet her azure blue skirt.

"Take off your shoes too, and come down with me." Su Yudie waved to Zhuang Ziang.

"It's clearly class time, is it not good for us to play in the water here?" Zhuang Ziang hesitated.

"Have you always been so disciplined since childhood?" Su Yudie asked.

This sentence hit Zhuang Ziang's pain point at once.

That's right, why should he be so disciplined?

He quickly took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, stepped carefully on the pebbles, and came to Su Yudie.

The cool river water flooded to the ankles, which was very comfortable.

Su Yudie held her hands to her mouth and shouted at the slowly flowing river: "Zhuang Ziang is a big fool!"

The voice was carried into the bridge hole by the wind, and there were waves of echoes.

"Zhuang Ziang is a big fool, a big fool, a fool..."

Su Yudie laughed like a silver bell.

The smile was beautiful.

"Why are you scolding me again?" Zhuang Ziang muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Because you are always unhappy and torture yourself, you are a big fool!" Su Yudie pouted her cherry-like mouth.

Zhuang Ziang was not convinced, and he also shouted to the river like her: "Little Butterfly is a little fool!"

"Little Butterfly is a little fool, little fool, fool..."

The echo in the bridge hole was very layered.

Su Yudie was not angry after hearing this, and her beautiful almond eyes smiled into a crescent shape.

She shouted again: "Big fool, be happy every day!"

Zhuang Ziang turned his head and looked at the perfect profile of Little Butterfly, and a huge grief surged in his heart.

He felt that he was poisoned by this girl.

Knowing that it was not allowed, he was still deeply involved and could not extricate himself.

How should he face the separation three months later?

Su Yudie noticed that Zhuang Ziang had not spoken for a long time, and looked up at him, only to find that his eyes were full of tears.

"Big...big fool, if you are particularly sad, I allow you to cry."

This sentence made Zhuang Ziang completely unable to hold back.

Since he came to this world, all the grievances and sorrows came to his heart at once.

Big drops of tears slid down his cheeks.

Falling into the river, splashing silent waves.

Zhuang Ziang didn't want the little butterfly to see his embarrassment, so he bent down.

He tried his best not to cry out, but still let out a low sob.

The whole body was trembling slightly.

Su Yudie reached out and gently stroked Zhuang Ziang's back, trying to make him feel better.

Unconsciously, her eyes were also filled with tears.

"Little butterfly, why are you crying?"

"We are good friends. Seeing you sad, I am also very sad."

Two days ago, in the hospital, when Zhuang Ziang saw his diagnosis, although he had a brief trance, he was not particularly sad.

Because this cold and indifferent world did not leave him much nostalgia.

But at this moment, he was reluctant to leave.

Why?

Why did I meet you when I was terminally ill?

Zhuang Ziang tried to stop crying, then reached out and wiped the crystal tears from the little butterfly's cheek.

That was the most precious gem in the world.

"Little butterfly, I'm not sad anymore, and you are not allowed to cry, okay?"

"Well, let the river wash away all your sorrows, and be happy every day in the future." Su Yudie sobbed.

Zhuang Ziang squatted down, scooped up a handful of cool river water, and washed his face.

Let the endless river water take away his tears.

A big wave came, and the river water went up a little more, reaching Su Yudie's calves.

She had to hold up the hem of her skirt with both hands and shrink back.

"The stones are slippery, be careful not to fall." Zhuang Ziang reminded quickly.

"Carry me up." Su Yudie's face was panicked.

Zhuang Ziang didn't say anything, stretched his hand to her knees, and gave her a princess hug.

Anyway, he had climbed over the fence twice, so he was familiar with it.

Sitting down on the grass, Su Yudie put her two little feet on Zhuang Ziang's legs to dry.

Zhuang Ziang asked himself, I was not a foot control before.

But the white and tender little feet in front of him still made him unable to help but peek.

"Big idiot, why do you keep looking at my feet?" Su Yudie asked with a red face.

"No, I'm looking at the grass." Zhuang Ziang refused to admit it.

"You've looked at it seven times."

"Nonsense, my eyes must have a place to fall."

Zhuang Ziang was exposed, so he had to turn his head and look at the floating clouds in the sky.

His cheeks were slightly hot.

"Okay, I don't blame you, help me put on my shoes."

"Put them on yourself, you have hands."

"Hmph, you stingy guy."
