I rubbed my temples and pushed her hand away, "Stop shouting! First, help me find someone."

Without waiting for my response, she suddenly screamed, "Oh my God, Sheng Ximan! You have ruined your looks!" She pointed at my sunburned cheeks. It is no wonder she reacted so dramatically; Weilan is famously beauty-conscious and insists on applying three layers of sunscreen before going out in the summer.

I nodded slightly, then turned around. After walking just a few steps, I suddenly remembered something and turned back, anxiously searching for Su Can's figure among the crowd. However, there were so many people coming and going in the station square, intertwining and crossing paths. In just a few seconds, I could not find her at all.

"Welcome... and also to clean the dust." I laughed, "What is he busy with? Why didn't he come with you?"

As the announcement for the approaching station sounded for the second time, I nudged the sleeping Su Can

In my eyes, Wei Lan's father has always been a stern and unsmiling person. When we were young, our families lived in the same large compound. Uncle Wei was originally a doctor in the same hospital as my mother, but later he resigned to invest in real estate. His career flourished, and within a few years, the Wei family moved from the compound to a luxurious house in the city center. Thereafter, Wei Lan lived a life akin to that of a little princess, with the best of everything to eat and use. Uncle Wei had only this one precious daughter, and naturally, he spoiled her in every possible way. Wei Lan's spoiled character gradually revealed itself in the later environment; whatever she desired, she would go to great lengths and use all means to obtain it.

I sighed despondently. Both Su Can and I had thought about getting in touch again, but neither of us realized that we had not exchanged phone numbers with each other

Without thinking, for the sake of this car, Wei Lan must be causing a commotion at home again

"Famous oil painting replicas, two hundred yuan each. He has been doing this for a month." Wei Lan pouted, "He doesn't lack pocket money, I really don't understand why he paints day and night! Once, I went to find him, and heavens, the coffee table was piled high with instant noodle boxes, and the living room floor was a complete mess."

Just as I was anxiously looking around, someone suddenly covered my eyes from behind and, imitating the voice of Crayon Shin-chan, asked in my ear: "Guess who I am?"

"Boring." She walked in front of me, "Who are you looking for?"

Later, I circled the entire station square three times with Weilan, visited both bus stops, yet still could not find Su Can. Weilan said that she must have been picked up by a car.

Fate, this is truly a profound term. Meeting is fate, parting is fate, missing each other is fate, and not being able to see each other again is also fate. This has gradually become a synonym for things that we cannot explain and are helpless about, but who really knows when fate arrives and when it departs

"Alas, it seems your father has lost to you again!" I glared at the smug Weilan.

At first, I thought Yuelan was joking when she said she wanted an off-road vehicle. She complained that her father flatly refused her request and sternly lectured her, saying, "What car does a high school student need!" However, to my surprise, just two months later, Yuelan actually got her wish.

"Your father must have owed you in a past life." I couldn't help but shake my head and smile wryly. It is not that I do not envy her; of course, I do not envy Yuelan for having a wealthy family, but rather I envy her for having a father who dotes on her to the point of indulgence.

In terms of material aspects, the azure has always been generous. However, when I saw that dazzling yellow Land Rover in the parking lot, my mouth couldn't help but form a large 'O' shape.

"Yuelan, don't make a fuss for now. I'm looking for someone." I pulled Yuelan's hand down; she has never tired of this game since childhood.

My impression of my father is limited to those yellowed old photographs in the album and the occasional details my mother shares with me about him. He passed away unexpectedly when I was one year old

Ah?

What he has is passion, do you understand passion! Do you think everyone is like you, with their hands open, cash falling out? Yachen is such a promising young artist, I don't understand why you always look down on him, in fact, you and he...

Su Can's unhappiness stems from her deep love for someone who does not love her in return. She is kind, beautiful, and possesses both grace and knowledge, yet that person simply does not love her. This is perhaps one of the most helpless situations we encounter in life

If fate allows, we will naturally meet again. The azure sky comforted me by putting its arm around my shoulder

"By the way, Yachen said he wants to welcome you." Weilan glanced at her watch and said, "It's almost dinner time, let's head over directly."

In my childhood, I often imagined what it would feel like to be carried on my father's shoulders, and I experienced a deep sense of loss. However, my mother loved me dearly, compensating for the absence of that paternal love. As I grew older, the regret of not having a father's love transformed entirely into my attachment and love for my mother. I have never felt that I was unhappy

In the realm of counterfeit and inferior products

Su Can opened her eyes in a daze and asked, "Have we arrived? Why is it so fast?" Then she climbed up to the luggage rack to get something. Like me, she only had a simple black backpack, which she had been carrying as she wandered around for a whole year. Gannan was her final stop. The night before we boarded the bus, she said that the original planned route was from Gansu to Qinghai and then into Tibet. But Ximan, no matter how far I go, I still cannot let go, cannot forget. She asked, "Ximan, have you ever deeply loved someone? Do you know what it feels like to love to the point of despair?" Gannan was her final stop. The night before we boarded the bus, she said that the original planned route was from Gansu to Qinghai and then into Tibet. But Ximan, no matter how far I go, I still cannot let go, cannot forget. She asked, "Ximan, have you ever deeply loved someone? Do you know what it feels like to love to the point of despair?" There is a saying that deep affection must be a tragedy.

The azure sky began to scold me in my ear, saying that I am a liar, having promised her to take good care of myself. Now, not only have I lost weight, but my face has also been sunburned beyond recognition.

Due to several trains arriving simultaneously, the exit passage was particularly crowded. Su Can and I were separated by the throng several times. After finally passing through the ticket check to exit, she ran over, hugged me, and whispered in my ear, "The happiest part of this journey was probably meeting you. We must keep in touch."

Hey, you reckless woman, slow down! The car accelerated again, making my heart race in fear. I quickly grabbed the overhead safety bar, feeling quite uneasy about this unreliable driver who had only obtained her license a few months ago

"How is it? Handsome, right?" Weilan opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation.

Luo Yachen's admiration for Wei Lan is no longer a novel topic at school; he is considered a prominent figure, a handsome young man, skilled in painting, fond of fun, and generous in character. Many girls at school have written love letters to him, yet Wei Lan remains indifferent to him. Being friends is acceptable, but anything beyond that is off the table

"Siman, I am sorry..." The azure tone suddenly lowered, her fingers gently brushed against my cheek, and a complex expression flickered in her eyes. In just a moment, she smiled and said loudly, "It's nothing, I will give you the best repair serum, I guarantee you will be fair again by the time school starts!"

Indeed, Weilan winked at me while gripping the steering wheel, saying, "I fasted for three days and three nights to get this." She was both aggrieved and proud

"Sister, please spare me." Wei Lan let out a low wail, suddenly stepping on the gas pedal, speeding away to escape this topic

Perhaps my fate with Su Can is truly limited to this extent. Suddenly, a wave of disappointment surged within my heart
