03.

Lin Leyao, will you wait for me to come back?" Jian Yan asked.

... ....

Oh, could you help me tie my hair? I... She has never been good at tying her hair, and every morning it's the housekeeper who helps her.

I don't want you to interfere. Lin Leyao snatched her backpack and held it to her chest, continuing to walk forward.

She couldn't help but turn around and shout loudly, "Jian Yan, do you know how annoying you are?" Although she said so, she felt a sweet sensation in her heart for some reason.

Celebrating that you are leaving soon, no one will pull my hair and bully me again! I am so happy!

Simply put: "You are also a little brat, a little brat who likes dolls."

When Jian's mother's hand brushed over her own head, Lin Leyao finally understood that this was what a home truly meant... Having a gentle mother, a loving father, and a child who loves to smile... But she... She didn't have a home.

Lin Leyao pouted and turned her head to the side: "I don't want to play."

Okay. Jianyan's voice was crisp, and her eyes sparkled like stars.

Lin Leyao, we will always be good friends, and I will never let go. - Jian Yanshuo.

Lin Leyao, why are you crying again? Why do you cry so much? How about I bring my favorite toy for you to play with? Saying this, Jianyan ran upstairs, brought down a large model airplane, and proudly said, "This is the one my uncle brought back for me from overseas. I usually don't let anyone touch it, but I'll reluctantly let you play with it today."

She also nodded earnestly, they will always be good friends and will always be together.

They went through primary school, junior high school, high school together... until the third year of high school, there was a slight change in the situation.

Summary: "England."

Is that so? You, my friend. Alright, I'm going to rest now. Goodbye, let's chat later. Lin Leyao avoided this topic and hung up the phone before Jian Yan could say goodbye.

Which country do you want to go to? She asked, pretending to be relaxed.

Lin Leyao asked Jian Yan: "Guess, am I following my dad or my mom?" Before Jian Yan could speak, she smiled and said, "I'm not following anyone. I told them to give me the house we have now. I'll live alone. You two remember to send me money on time, don't let me go hungry. Of course, I know they won't let me go hungry. I've never lacked money since I was young. They gave me a lot of money, so I could buy a lot of food, buy a lot of clothes. They even hired several aunties to take care of my life. Do you know? Many people have told me that they envy me, envy my life, envy that I can buy whatever I want, envy this and that. Of course, I know they won't let me go hungry. I've never lacked money since I was young. They gave me a lot of money, so I could buy a lot of food, buy a lot of clothes. They even hired several aunties to take care of my life. Do you know? Many people have told me that they envy me, envy my life, envy that I can buy whatever I want, envy this and that. When I say that I actually envy them, they think I'm hypocritical, they think I'm deliberately mocking them. Jian Yan, I really do envy them. I envy them for having a home, parents, friends... and I have nothing. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night, I go downstairs, walk around the living room, and look at the empty house. I feel very cold, I feel like I'm the only person in this world. Jian Yan, I really do envy them. I envy them for having a home, parents, friends... and I have nothing. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night, I go downstairs, walk around the living room, and look at the empty house. I feel very cold, I feel like I'm the only person in this world. At that time, I want to cry, but not a single tear falls."

Simply put, this time I must surpass you! From childhood to adulthood, Jianyan's grades have always been slightly better than Lin Leyao's, no matter how hard she tries, she always falls short. This makes her, as the "older sister," very embarrassed! After much thought, she decided to bet on the college entrance examination, she just doesn't believe that no matter how hard she tries, she can't surpass Jianyan.

After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she clearly saw a hint of relief on her parents' faces. Her mother asked, "Yaoyao, your father and I are getting divorced. Who will you live with?"

The girl did not see the beads of sweat on the boy's forehead, nor did the boy see the moist corners of the girl's eyes.

Oh, it is said that the girls over there are very beautiful and open-minded. I'll wait for you to bring back a blonde and blue-eyed sister-in-law. Lin Leyao pulled his hand and ran outside, "Let's go buy fireworks and celebrate tonight."

Lin Leyao is eight years old. She has never seen such a shameless person before. What if they are neighbors? What if they are classmates? Who says classmates and neighbors must go to school together?

Ever since Lin Leyao saw this boy who smiled brightly under the big tree, she had an inexplicable resistance towards him. She didn't know why, but she just couldn't stand him. However, he always followed behind her. After they became classmates, he would even wait for her at her doorstep every morning, no matter if she woke up early or late. She would always run into him, no matter how she tried to avoid him.

Pu - Jian Yan, you little brat. Lin Leyao raised her hand and poked his nose, "From now on, when you see me, you have to call me sister."

During the afternoon, the parents went to the law firm to sign documents and then went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to replace the little red book with the little green book. She followed silently all the way, regardless of what her parents said, she did not leave, just followed.

Why should I be responsible for you? What are you dragging me for? Let go!Lin Leyao wanted to shake off his hand, but found that he was holding on tightly and couldn't shake it off.

She feels that people's hearts are fickle and that no relationship will last long with anyone.

Although Jianyan has always looked down upon Lin Leyao's liking for dolls, she still received her first doll in her life on her birthday that year. It was like seeing it in a fairy tale book, with golden hair, long eyelashes, and chubby cheeks. It even laughed when poked.

This time is not a joke anymore, she knows.

Simply put, she buried them in a very deep, deep place and never touched them again.

After that day, Jianyan never saw Linyao again. Occasionally, he only found out from her social media updates that she had gone to another city with her parents, not sure if it was for travel or something else.

That night, Lin Leyao held a fireworks display in the yard with Jian Yan for a long time to celebrate the departure of the little devil. In the sky, a brilliant burst of fireworks exploded. Lin Leyao quietly wiped away her tears and hid her choking. She said, "The quality of these fireworks is not good, something happened. It fell into my eyes."

She chuckled and said, "A lifetime is too long, I can't guarantee that I can do it."

He finally understood that he had fallen in love with this girl, his little sweetheart.

The setting sun, casting its orange glow on the boy and girl, resembles a warm-toned oil painting.

He led her to the nearby fitness equipment, found a spot, took out a handkerchief to wipe it clean for her to sit down, and then carefully used his fingers to help her tidy her hair, and then carefully tied up the braid.

In the second month of Jian Yan's arrival in the UK, he finally managed to get through to Lin Leyao's phone. The moment he heard her voice, he was so excited that he almost ran two laps downstairs. He said, "Hello," with a slight trembling in his voice, "Lin Leyao, you finally answered my call. I thought you would never want to talk to me in this lifetime."

Linyueyao, let me help you carry your school bag.

Such a scene almost happens every morning. I thought that after being rejected a few times, Jian Yan would not pester me anymore. But it has been a month, and Jian Yan still likes to chase after me and shout, "Lin Leyao, wait for me. We are friends."

She thought Jianyan would be an accident, but he turned out to be within the accident.

She walked ahead with big steps, while he ran behind to catch up. He quickly caught up with her, then with a smile, snatched her backpack and patted his chest, saying, "I am a boy, I should help girls."

He finally figured out the meaning of that sentence. They once said they would always be together as lifelong good friends. Although they are still friends, they are separated by distance and are no longer together.

Simply put, Lin Leyao, why are you crying? Please don't cry. Next time, I will definitely make you look very beautiful. Don't cry. Shall I take you home and let my mother help you? He hurriedly wiped away her tears, but they seemed impossible to dry. In a panic, he took her hand and ran towards his home.

This... ... happened again.

Just like parents, they used to love each other so much, but later, because of a small matter, they could smash everything that could be smashed in the house.

You, a little person with a big attitude, but Yao Yao is actually two months older than you.

Lin Leyao, would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight? My mom makes delicious sweet and sour fish.

When she stood excitedly in front of Jian Yan wanting to show off, he told her, "Lin Leyao, I'm going abroad."

Oh, I feel so sad and heartbroken, Lin Leyao, you hurt me, you must take responsibility for me!

Excitedly nodding, Jianyan said, "Relieved, really relieved." He wouldn't tell her that he quietly untied the bow on her hairband.

She is his childhood sweetheart, but she does not admit that he is her childhood playmate.

Upon receiving it, Lin Leyao frowned and said seriously to Jian Yan, "Jian Yan, I'm already nine years old, I'm not a child who likes dolls anymore." Saying this, she held the doll in her arms tighter, with an uncontrollable smile in her eyes.

When the college entrance examination results came out, Lin Leyao looked at her scores with a smile, thinking that this time she must have surpassed Jian Yan. Her best score in the mock exams was not as high as her score this time.

Of course, that was not the last time they spoke, but it was the last time Jianyan heard Lin Leyao talk about these things. From then on, their conversations were all about joyful matters around them, with no connection to the word "sadness," as if those sorrows had never appeared.

She waited for him, waiting for him to tell her that it was just a joke, and then proudly take out his transcript and say, "Lin Leyao, my score is still higher than yours, you lost again." But her eyes were sore, and she still didn't hear these words.

Lin Leyao, you still have me. I have said that we will always be together. Jian Yan knew her pain and comforted her.

Lin Leyao, please walk slower in the future. My mother said that walking too fast right after a meal can cause indigestion and stomach pain.

It was a bit painful when her hair was pulled. Lin Leyao bit her lip and endured it. She could clearly feel his clumsiness and caution, which warmed her heart.

"You smiled?" Jianyan looked at the person in front of her in surprise. This was the first time he had seen her smile, and her eyes were still teary. It was so beautiful. "Lin Leyao, so you can smile. I always thought you had a poker face."

To put it simply and seriously: "Lin Leyao, we will always be good friends, won't we?"

After two months, Lin Leyao finally returned. She stood under the tree where they first met, gently touching the rough bark, not knowing what she was thinking.

Before meeting Jian Yan, she didn't believe in any emotions.

Lin Leyao was taken aback, and her radiant smile gradually faded. She said, "Jianyan, you have let go."

"I know that you girls all like dolls, hmph, childish things," Jianyan said disdainfully.

She shook her head and said, "No."

Linyao Lin looked at herself in the mirror, tears gushed out "swish", and her hair on the top of her head protruded in several places. It turned out that the slightly loose braid was messed up by Jianyan, making her feel like a little beggar in a TV drama if she inserted two more leaves on her head.

Okay, take a look.As Jianyan wiped his sweat, he took out a small mirror from his pocket and presented it to Lin Leyao as if offering a treasure.

She always smiled, narrating in a plain tone, as if telling a story that had nothing to do with herself. There were no tears, no trace of sadness on her face.

What is a friend? Is it just a group of people gathering together like the girls in the class, chattering away? No, she doesn't need that.

You are the poker face! Brat. Lin Leyao snorted coldly.

His departure ultimately made her lose faith even in the only friendship she had.

Lin Leyao, slow down, slow down, we are classmates.

Lin Leyao, the girl in our class who likes to wear red bows said she wants to be good friends with me. I refused because she is not as pretty as you.

The big tree has grown much stronger since they first met, still lush and green, but there will never be girls playing with mud and boys smiling in the sunshine under the tree again.

He often stood at the door of their house, hoping that she would suddenly come back to give him a surprise. However, he didn't wait for her to come back until the day he left.

Caption: "What are we celebrating?"

At that time, they were still young. Clever Jianyan also did not understand the meaning of her words until he had spent some time in England. Lin Leyao's figure filled his mind every day, and the words "Jianyan, you have let go" echoed in his mind.

After a long period of silence, Lin Leyao sighed and said in a tone of "The weather is really nice today": "In short, my parents finally got divorced."

That night, she bought a lot of fireworks again and set them off alone in the yard. She smiled and said to the sky, "Good friend, goodbye."

Lin Leyao, your braid is loose, shall I help you tie it up? Jian Yan walked over to her with a playful smile, trying to please her.

He is going abroad. The formalities were completed a long time ago, and he will leave after the summer vacation. As for the college entrance examination, he just went through the motions with her and didn't take it seriously.

She paused for a moment, perhaps startled by his shameless audacity. After a short while, she looked up and asked him, "Is my braid really loose?"

She looked up at her mother and then at her father. The momentary ease just now turned into tension again. Are they both worried that she will leave them? They have worked hard and endured so much for her, and that should be enough.
