After a long period of time, guessing that Jin Lu Lu’s temper had calmed down by now, Gu Hai
turned on the phone again. This time, there was no incoming phone call; he waited for a long while
and nothing happened, Gu Hai reluctantly dialed back.
“Hello…?”
A sniffing nasal voice replied the call, Gu Hai’s heart dropped a beat, Jin Lu Lu is a very strong girl
and she rarely cries, at least in Gu Hai’s memories, Jin Lu Lu has never shed a tear.
Jin Lu Lu began to sob violently, and her words came out broken as she spoke.
“I know that I shouldn’t be over thinking...but you’ve changed so much...in the past even though we
didn’t go to the same school...it felt like you were always next to me...but now I have a
feeling...you’re getting further and further away from me…”
Gu Hai paused for a second, “it’s not too far away, only take half an hour going by the HSR*.”
[T/N: HSR - High Speed Rail (Bullet Train) - refers to any railway in China with commercial train
service at the speed of 200 km/h (124 mph) or higher as internationally recognized, with another
definition of 250 km/h or higher designed speed lines of new built line locally.]
Jin Lu Lu stopped sobbing and smiled, “Why did you hang up my call?”
Jin Lu Lu breathed out, “I’ve been having a migraine headache these past few days, very
uncomfortable.”
“It’s because you’ve been staring at laptop and playing on the phone for a long period of time, leave
the phone out of your ear as far as you can, you know how much radiation that is! Be good, go to
sleep early, when you wake up tomorrow you’ll feel better.”
“Hu Zi, Li Shuo, and I already made plans to get together this Saturday. How about Sunday? I’ll be
free all day on Sunday.”
“It’s not the matter of priority here, I promised to meet up with them first, a promise is a promise.”
Jin Lu Lu’s face turned solemn and then answered nonchalantly, “I want to attend a classmate’s
birthday party on Sunday, I won’t be free that day. How about next weekend? It’ll be more
convenient for you.”
When hung up, Gu Hai could hear Jin Lu Lu’s disappointing sigh.
Turning off the light, Gu Hai was suddenly thinking about two years ago, Jin Lu Lu led a group of
girls to smash all the windows of the homeroom teacher’s home; once she got back to school, she
openly challenged the principal. At that time, Jin Lu Lu was a very blunt and straightforward girl that
clearly differentiated love and hate, and always looked down on everyone. Although she was a
skinny little girl, her arrogance was not as little as she looked.
Reminiscing about that time when Jin Lu Lu sat in her seat and burst into a hearty laugh, Gu Hai
found that was very adorable.
Perhaps, one always cherishes the untouchable, if one does not touch it, it will remain pure and
untouchable, no matter how one looks at it, it will always be the most purified one. But once it is
placed in front, being stared at and being touched over time, its original beauty will be eroded.
Thinking about it for a long moment, Gu Hai finally picked up his phone and composed a message.
“I’ll let Li Shuo know that I won’t be coming, I’ll come see you this Saturday.”
But today was very windy, Beijing wind has always been like this, it does not blow just a few sand
pigments, but it sweeps up dust from one place. Bai Luo Yin chose to stand tall as they proceeded
downhill, it was inevitable for him to breath in a lot of dust.
“Why aren’t you sitting down? I can block the wind for you.”
Bai Luo Yin did not utter a word but pinched down hard on Gu Hai’s shoulders.
Gu Hai knew what Bai Luo Yin was thinking, and immediately promised: “I won’t pick bumpy road
to ride on, you can rest assured.”
“What?”
Strong wind whistling loudly along with the roaring motor from the passing cars, Gu Hai could not
hear what Bai Luo Yin said.
Bai Luo Yin slightly lowered down his head, speaking closely to Gu Hai’s ear.
Gu Hai tightened his hold on the handlebars, eyes staring straight ahead, and seemed to be making a
very difficult decision.
These three words were spoken softly but Gu Hai could heard them clearly.
Bai Luo Yin casted his eyes down slightly and just perfectly landed his view on Gu Hai’s towering
nose.
Gu Hai lifted his eyes to look up and was just perfectly looking at Bai Luo Yin’s firm chin.
