Lù Yìnóng went to Yunnan.

Before leaving, she canceled all contact information.

All information about her on the internet was erased.

I even wondered if she would change her name in Yunnan.

Before leaving Beijing, Lù Yìnóng invited me to meet.

There was a faint dark shade under her eyes, as if she hadn't rested well.

Not having seen her for a few weeks, I couldn't even blink my eyes. As I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard her say, "Yǐ Zhōu, let's break up."

I had prepared myself mentally before coming, thinking that I couldn't let her see how upset I was.

But as soon as she spoke, I couldn't hold back and turned my face away.

Lù Yìnóng stood under the shadow of a tree, her fingers gradually tightening, but she didn't come to hug me.

"My work is very dangerous, and people around me may be retaliated against because of me," her voice sounded tired. "Yǐ Zhōu, I hope you stay safe."

It felt like someone had squeezed my heart.

I said, "You don't have to contact me, really. Just tell me once a year, let me know you're still alive. Can we do that?"

It was so difficult to speak due to the overwhelming sadness.

I pleaded, looking at her desperately, "Just like that, can we?"

But I saw Lù Yìnóng turn her head and her eyes were reddened.

In an instant, it felt like a heavy hammer struck my heart, and my chest was in unbearable pain.

It turned out that seeing the person you love cry is a thousand times more painful than shedding tears yourself.

I tremblingly took out a tissue, lowered my head, and wiped away her tears.

It was probably the last time we touched each other, and my hand was shaking uncontrollably.

I crumpled the tissue into a ball, took a few steps back, and forced a smile, "It's okay, we don't have to contact each other at all, we can break up. Yìnóng, don't be sad."

As long as you're not sad.

She closed her eyes tightly and her voice was hoarse, "I'm sorry, Yǐ Zhōu."

I actually managed to hold back, smiling and saying, "How could that be? Yìnóng, do you remember what I said when we first got together? I only strive for the present, and you have given me so many precious moments. I've made a fortune."

Lù Yìnóng looked at me, emotions surging in her pitch-black eyes, but she suppressed them all, like a frozen sea.

I smiled, waved goodbye to her, and said, "Take care, Yìnóng. Don't think of me in the future, anyway, I won't think of you either, haha."

The birds chirped, and the wind rustled the leaves.

Occasional passersby glanced curiously at us as they walked by.

Lù Yìnóng remained silent, motionless.

Finally, I looked at her carefully once again.

A slender and tall girl, she liked to wear dark clothes, giving off a cold appearance, but her fingertips were gentle.

Lù Yìnóng, I have engraved you in my eyes.

When I miss you, I'll just blink, so I won't want to see you again.

She still didn't say a word, and I smiled and repeated, "Goodbye, Yìnóng."

I turned around first, I took the first step.

I left her with a carefree back, so she wouldn't know that in that moment when I turned around, tears were streaming down my face.
