Kanagawa Villa

The three-day deadline arrived as promised.

Xia Nianluo sat beside the bed and scanned everything in the room.

The suitcase was very small. It only contained a computer, some clothes, and a few necessities such as a bracelet sent by the film. The rest was all left in this house.

Xia Nianluo pulled the suitcase and walked out of the house...

"Sister, let's go." Xia Lingluo was already waiting outside the door.

"Um."

--------------------------

Tokyo Airport

Xia Nianluo and Xia Lingluo were sitting in the terminal, waiting for the plane to take off.

"Xiao Nianluo~" Xia Nianluo turned his head and saw a group of teenagers.

"Oh~ I don't want Xiao Nianluo to go~" Several 'animals' jumped on Xia Nianluo.

"Uh..." Xia Nianluo felt unsteady...

"You guys, come down quickly." Dashi saw something was wrong and quickly went up and pulled them down.

"When will you come back?" Yukimura looked at Xia Nianluo.

Xia Nianluo pursed his lips and said lightly: "Who knows..."

"Xiao Nianluo, please remember to call us~~" Jirou Akutagawa and Eiji Kikumaru pulled on the corners of Xia Nianluo's clothes.

"knew."

"When you get there, you have to write us a letter..."

"Um……"

After everyone said goodbye to Xia Nianluo, Xia Nianluo looked at Echizen Ryoma in front of him.

Echizen Ryoma pressed down the brim of his hat slightly and said, "Can't...don't leave..." He spoke softer and quieter, but Xia Nianluo could still hear him.

"...No." Xia Nianluo was silent for a moment.

Echizen Ryoma didn't speak anymore, just stood silently. The two of them just stood like that.

"Sister, we should go." Xia Lingluo reminded.

"Yeah." Xia Nianluo glanced at the airport entrance again, but still didn't find the proud silver-gray figure. A lonely light flashed in his eyes. No one noticed this light.

——Except Yuushi Ninzu.

Yuushi Ninzu pushed up his glasses and said nothing.

Xia Nianluo lowered his eyes and turned around, but he clearly heard Echizen Ryoma's voice behind him:

"goodbye."

Xia Nianluo paused slightly and said softly: "Goodbye."

"Xiao Nianluo, goodbye..." Tears filled the eyes of several small animals.

"Goodbye." Xia Nianluo and Xia Lingluo walked towards the ticket gate.

Xia Nianluo left without looking back.

No one noticed the lonely silver-gray figure.

Xia Nianluo was sitting on the plane and was about to turn off his phone when he found a text message from Atobe Keigo.

His fingers trembled slightly and he clicked.

"I stood at the door of the terminal and watched you walk into the ticket gate. You only had to turn around to see me, but you really didn't look back."

Without that gorgeous tone, Xia Nianluo felt Atobe Keigo's fingers trembling slightly when he pressed the text message.

Turning off the phone, Xia Nianluo felt that his mind went blank...

------------------

The plane took off, the sun shone on the group of teenagers, and the light in their eyes flickered like breathing...
