Lin Xi has been as introverted as a mountain grass since she was a child, and her voice is as soft as the wind. When someone bullies her in a corner, she doesn't even have the courage to raise her head and look at her. She only dares to hold the corners of her clothes and cry silently.
Until she was seven years old, she bumped into Chen Yetao under the big green tree.
The wild girl with bare feet and a scar on her forehead jumped down from the tree branch, used a slingshot to knock away the marbles of her bully, stuffed half a handful of translucent red wild jujubes into her hand, patted her chest and said to her, "I will protect you from now on."
Chen Yetao was her backer, her light hidden in the mountains, and the warm hand with a thin callus that he took the initiative to reach out to her when she didn't even dare to raise her head. She took Lin Xi, who was afraid of strangers, to climb trees and look at the mountains. She squatted in a tree hole and taught her to play the tune of leaves. She gave her all the orange candies she had saved for half a month. She even wrote the word "Lin Xi" over and over on the scrap newspaper and it was engraved into her bones.
Later, Chen Yetao left, and Lin Xi took her old dictionary and half a ticket to the beach. The introverted girl who had never dared to step out of Chenjia Village alone walked along the winding mountain road to the beach step by step.
The mountain breeze did not stop, and the warmth of the wild peach remained in her hand. She finally dared to look up at the sea openly, and dared to shout the name she had hidden for more than ten years to the waves - it turns out that the best salvation is never to pull you out of the darkness, but someone to plant light into your heart. Even if she is gone, you can grow into your own sun.
Intention: The lost friendship is never a void in life, but becomes the force that lifts you forward - Chen Yetao's unfinished road and unseen sea will eventually become the common life of two people through Lin Xi's footsteps. The real farewell is never forgetting, but living well with the warmth of the other person, and letting those unspoken agreements slowly fall into place in every step forward.
