Fang Xinran stood at the entrance of the station hall with a backpack on her back and a bright smile on her face.
Today was the day she would depart for a southern city.
Lin Yu hadn't forgotten, arriving early to see her off.
He picked her up from senior sister Fang's rented apartment and escorted her all the way to the train station with her luggage.
Despite living in Pingchuan for so long, Fang Xinran barely had any luggage.
Just a backpack and a suitcase.
Even if Lin Yu hadn't come, it wouldn't have been much effort for Fang Xinran and Tang Yimian to handle it themselves.
Right after getting out of the taxi, Tang Yimian specifically ran to a nearby breakfast shop to buy breakfast for Fang Xinran.
Packing up and checking out of the apartment this morning had taken up quite a bit of time.
None of the three had eaten breakfast; they rushed straight to the train station, afraid of delaying Fang Xinran's boarding.
The soft-hearted Tang Yimian, of course, wouldn't let her best friend leave on an empty stomach.
So, as soon as they arrived at the station, she made a beeline for the breakfast shop.
As a result.
It ended up giving Lin Yu and Fang Xinran a little time to be alone together.
Words of farewell, whether emotional or rational, had already been said many times over.
At the time, both of them had acted very carefree.
But now that they were actually at the station for parting, it wasn't just Fang Xinran putting up a strong front.
Even Lin Yu felt terrible inside.
Even having lived two lifetimes, he still disliked goodbyes.
If it were just an ordinary friend he had no real connection with, he might only feel a slight pang of sadness.
But how could the relationship between him and Fang Xinran be defined as just ordinary friends?
Sigh.
But some people, you see, are destined to only accompany you for a certain part of the journey.
Even if it is just a short segment.
Leaving behind beautiful memories with each other is the precious meaning of the journey.
Lin Yu let go of the suitcase and opened his arms.
Xinran, let's have a hug? Can we?
[Ding!]
[Excellent operation! The Holy Son's expression of affection at the time of parting has deeply touched his Dao companion's heart!]
[Reward: 100 Spirit Stones]
Looking at Lin Yu's gesture, Fang Xinran froze in place, struggling internally for a good while.
She wasn't worried about Tang Yimian suddenly returning and seeing what they were doing.
Rather, she was worried...
What if she couldn't hold back her tears?
She had finally managed to get her emotions under control.
They had been talking and laughing along the way, avoiding being clouded by a sorrowful atmosphere.
At the final moment of parting.
How could she burden Junior Lin with her negative emotions?
Fang Xinran fought back the urge to hug him, grinning brightly as she laughed:
What? Haven't you hugged me enough?
Haha, we've hugged plenty before, let's skip it today.
Be good to our Sister Yimian, and make sure you never bully her.
Even though I'll be in the south, if Sister Yimian complains to me, I will definitely come back to back her up.
Junior Lin, you have to...
Before Fang Xinran could finish her sentence.
Lin Yu stepped forward and pulled her directly into his arms.
Fang Xinran's voice came to an abrupt halt.
She didn't resist at all.
She simply wrapped her arms gently around Lin Yu's waist.
Her trembling, petite body released the emotions she had suppressed the entire journey, or perhaps for several days.
Lin Yu patted Fang Xinran's back gently, giving her time to slowly let it all out.
After all.
This was very likely the last time they would feel each other's warmth from such a close distance.
Just a minute later.
Fang Xinran sniffled and pulled away from Lin Yu.
She didn't want Lin Yu to see her crying.
The moment she stepped back, Fang Xinran deliberately turned her head to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Then.
With red eyes, she faced Lin Yu directly once again.
Sigh, I really didn't want to make the atmosphere so heavy.
Junior Lin, do you really like seeing me cry that much?
Didn't you say it yourself? This isn't the last time we'll see each other.
Anyway, I'm a bit foolish. When you said you would come to the south to visit me, I took it seriously.
Actually.
Fang Xinran wasn't sure if they would ever really have the chance to meet again.
Saying this was also a roundabout way of comforting herself.
Who could say for sure what the future held?
Maybe she would even regret it and run all the way back from the south.
Lin Yu raised three fingers and promised:
I swear, I will keep my word.
After I graduate, I will definitely go to the south to see you.
Fang Xinran smiled and quickly pulled Lin Yu's hand down.
Alright, don't be so serious. I was just joking.
Can't I come back from the south to visit you?
I believe...
This is definitely not our last meeting!
It's settled then, you can't make me cry anymore.
If Sister Yimian comes back and sees this, she'll think you bullied me.
Lin Yu nodded, took a USB flash drive from his pocket, and handed it to Fang Xinran.
Fang Xinran took it suspiciously and asked:
For me? A parting gift?
Lin Yu explained:
You could say that. Actually, it's something that was meant for you anyway.
Do you remember that day...
The photos we took?
I've organized them. These are the ones that can be shown and kept as souvenirs.
Fang Xinran: !!!
Speaking of the photos, Fang Xinran finally remembered.
She really had drank a lot that time.
Afterwards, she had agreed to Lin Yu's proposal to take photos, and they took many pictures that couldn't be shown to anyone.
She trusted Lin Yu's character and knew he definitely wouldn't show them to others.
But now that he brought up the photos, Fang Xinran felt somewhat embarrassed.
She quickly tucked the USB drive away and whispered:
How could I dare to take these kinds of photos out to look at...
I'd better keep them to look at secretly by myself!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one."

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races!
