Chapter 100: Liushiliu Leaving
Duan Yixin was born in an era when the world was in ruins and dust covered the sky. In her previous life, she could only read about rain in historical texts and saw it from the holographic video.
But now, as she heard the rain falling on the thatched roof and watched it cover her surroundings like a thin veil, she couldn’t help but feel curious. Stretching out her hands, Duan Yixin caught the rainwater falling from the edge of the thatched roof with her palms.
Feeling the cold rain falling on her palms, the corners of her lips slowly rose. After standing at the door for a long time, Duan Yixin saw Liushiliu coming out from the forest.
Looking at his wet clothes, Duan Yixin said, "You should find something to shield your body from the rain."
Liushiliu did not respond to her words but just said in a low voice, "Miss Duan, I have to leave."
Hearing this, Duan Yixin fell into silence. After spending a few days with Liushiliu, she had become accustomed to his presence. Hearing that he was leaving, Duan Yixin felt a little reluctant, wondering if she could see him again in the future.
Since Duan Yixin already regarded Liushiliu as a friend, she wanted to give him something that could help him on his mission. She smiled at him and said, "I understand. Can you wait a moment?"
Liushiliu nodded and saw Duan Yixin returning to her bedroom. Not long after, she came out carrying a cloth bag. She handed the cloth bag to Liushiliu and said, "This is for you. Thank you for your help these days. If we are destined, we will meet again. Be careful on your way."
Looking at the heavy cloth bag in his hand, Liushiliu felt warm in his heart and was silent for a moment. When he raised his eyes to look at Duan Yixin, the hint of warmth in his eyes had disappeared.
