"Finally found it, the marks left behind are no longer obvious."
"What? Did you find something?"
Hearing that Zhao Xuanying had found something, Zhu Shushu ran over.
It's just that she underestimated her full stomach. She didn't run too fast and almost vomited on the spot. Fortunately, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and raised her hand to her heart a few times before she suppressed the feeling of nausea.
Went back.
During the moment when she was resting, Zhao Xuanying had already found a small wooden stick from nowhere and dug something somewhere.
When Zhu Shushu got closer, she saw that the other party was pawing the soil with a wooden stick.
Where she was digging, there were white marks scratched by stones on the back of the steps above. She didn't know how long it had been. Although she could still see them, they had already become unclear.
At the same time, I also admire that Zhao Xuanying can find all these things.
"You buried this when you were a child?"
Looking at what Zhao Xuanying dug out, Zhu Shushu frowned.
Even though she was born in the county town and had played with mud since she was a child, she was moved and puzzled by the thing wrapped in a plastic bag in front of her. Looking at Zhao Xuanying, she didn't mind it being dirty, so she just tore open the plastic bag wrapped in it.
Something that had been buried for who knows how long was revealed.
Nothing surprising.
It's just something similar to paper, with some scattered pebbles.
"A piece of paper and a bag of pebbles? Why did you bury these when you were a kid?"
"This is a letter I wrote when I was a child to when I grew up."
"letter?"
Repeating doubtfully, Zhu Shushu looked at the paper in Zhao Xuanying's hand a few more times.
Calling it a letter is a bit euphemistic. What Zhao Xuanying is holding in her hand is a paper ball that has been folded many times. You can tell at a glance that it was torn from a notebook.
It's a bit like a time capsule, buried underground and waiting to be dug out for ten years.
Zhu Shushu still knew about this, but what she couldn't understand was that people's time capsules usually bury some very memorable things, such as toys they liked when they were children, or things they created together with their friends.
Just a piece of paper and a bag of pebbles, this simple time capsule puzzled Zhu Shushu.
Look around.
Zhao Xuanying has already unfolded the paper in her hand.
I don’t know how many years have passed, but the originally clean white paper has not only turned yellow but also become very dirty, maybe because it was packed with pebbles, and there are even broken places.
Fortunately, after unfolding it, the handwriting on it can still be recognized.
Looking at the writing on the paper...
Although it can be seen at a glance that it is a child's note, it can be seen that the person who wrote the letter must have been very serious when he wrote it.
"I originally thought I would open it ten years later, but I suddenly remembered it when I was in the car and dug it out in advance."
"When did you write this?"
"Hmm... I guess it was in the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school. I can't remember the details. After all, it's been five or six years."
As she replied, Zhao Xuanying's eyes fell on the paper in her hand.
The handwriting is neat and clear.
The number of words is not too many, and most of them are based on inquiries.
【My future self, I have a lot of questions I want to know.】
[Have I found a good job when I grow up? Can I buy whatever I want to eat? 】
【Is grandma still healthy? 】
[Actually, there is no need to ask this. I will definitely take good care of my grandma’s health in the future. After all, I take good care of my grandma now.]
[Grandma sprained her foot some time ago. I gave her medicine and cooked millet porridge for her. Because I often helped grandma, my porridge was also very good. However, grandma always disagreed with me using a knife, saying
It’s because you’re afraid I’ll get hurt.]
[I am no longer a child. The teacher praised me two days ago, and there are so many certificates at home that I can’t keep them all.]
[By the way, in ten years I will be in my twenties, right? Will I have anyone I like at that time? 】
[When you saw this letter, did you dig it out with him? 】
[I don’t know what kind of person he is, but let me tell you, he must have a good character, honest and trustworthy, and he also likes me very much and cares about me... Of course, he must also care about grandma, after all, she
But my most important relative.]
【besides……】
A drop of water fell on the paper, which wetted the paper and also soaked the poor-quality ink on the paper.
The black writing began to spread, and at the same time the words that were clearly visible became blurry.
Zhao Xuanying could no longer continue reading.
Her vision had begun to blur at this moment, so that she could not clearly read the writing behind it.
I can't see clearly...the questions I wrote when I was a child.
"Sister Yingying...are you crying?"
The sound of this scene made Zhu Shushu panicked. She was looking at the letter together and was suddenly at a loss.
Listening to the sobbing coming from beside me.
Now Zhao Xuanying didn't cry loudly, she just sniffed, and her tears couldn't stop sliding down her cheeks like a faucet turned on.
The hand that looked at the paper began to exert force, and in just a moment, the paper was crumpled into a ball, and then it was torn apart hard.
Accompanying this move, she was still having fragmentary thoughts that seemed like she was talking to herself.
"He is not honest at all, and he is not trustworthy at all... He has been lying to me all the time. He has been lying to me since the first time we met..."

"Sister Yingying..."
"We agreed, we agreed to wait until I graduate..."
"You've obviously promised that you'll wait for me..."
"fraud……"
"Big liar, he is a big liar..."
The paper in his hand broke into several pieces in a moment, he clenched it tightly and threw it towards the river bank not far away.
The paper ball formed a parabola in the air and fell to the river.
The water-soaked paper floated for a while and then became wet due to water absorption. It didn't take long before it scattered into strips of paper and disappeared from the sight of the two.
"I...I actually care a lot..."
Her voice was trembling, Zhao Xuanying lowered her head, and the words coming out of her mouth seemed to be narrating to Zhu Shushu, but also seemed to be explaining to herself.
"I care a lot... I have always cared about him. I, I actually like him very much..."
"Why am I just a high school student...Why do I have to take another year to go to college..."
"If I had gone to school a year earlier, if I was already a college student now...then he wouldn't have left..."
"Sister Yingying..."
Zhu Shushu heard all Zhao Xuanying's words clearly.
She originally thought that the other party didn't care at all after learning the news of the engagement, but the scene at this moment proved to her that Zhao Xuanying was more concerned about the news than anyone else.
She was just holding back.
From the first time she was rejected by Liu Weicheng, she stopped expressing her feelings.
Just silently bury that little thought deep in my heart.
