Promises That Cannot Be Kept

The cicadas in Nancheng sang for the last summer, and when the iron gate of the kindergarten slowly closed behind Yu Nian, he was still holding in his hand the graduation picture with two little figures - the little one on the left had short black brown hair, a small black mole under his left eye, and showed two small tiger teeth when he smiled; At the graduation ceremony on the last day, Yu Nian sat next to Wu Fu. The balloon in his hand floated to Wu Fu's head. He giggled and reached for it, but Wu Fu gently held his hand down. "Don't move," Wu Fu's voice was still thin and a little milky, but it was much clearer than three years ago. "It will fly away." Yu Nian sat down obediently and looked at him with bright amber almond eyes: "Fu Fu, can we go together when we go to elementary school?" Wu Fu didn't say anything, he just took out a toffee from his pocket, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into his hand. It's Yu Nian's favorite strawberry flavor, and the candy wrapper is wrinkled, obviously he's had it for a long time. Yu Nian immediately put the candy in his mouth, and the sweet taste spread. He leaned over and whispered: "My dad said that the elementary school has a bigger playground and a swing! We can play together!" When the teacher called everyone to come to the stage to receive their diplomas, Yu Nian took Wu Fu's hand and rushed forward, almost tripping over the steps. Wu Fu staggered when he pulled her, but she held his hand tightly with her backhand. The small mole on the bridge of her nose was very clear in the sunlight. The two of them stood on the stage, wearing identical graduation uniforms. Yu Nian smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, and the mole under his left eye danced with his smile. Wu Fu stood upright, but when the teacher was taking pictures, he quietly leaned towards Yu Nian. On the way to school, Yu Nian was carrying a small schoolbag and jumping up and down behind Wu Fu, chattering non-stop: "Today the teacher gave me little red flowers, saying that I am the best-behaved little sun!" "Pay you. There are stars painted on the graduation certificate, it looks great!" Wu Fu was carrying a schoolbag that was bigger than him. He walked steadily and occasionally said "Hmm", but when Yu Nian almost stepped on a stone, he reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes. Walking to the door of his house, Yu Nian suddenly stopped and took out a crumpled peony flower from his schoolbag - it was picked from the flower bed of the kindergarten. The petals were all wilted. "Give it to you!" He handed the flower to Wu Fu, smiling like the sunshine in Nancheng. "The teacher said that after graduation, I should give gifts to my good friends. I like peonies the most, they look like little suns!" Wu Fu was stunned for a moment, then carefully took the flower, and his fingers touched Yu Nian's fingertips. Both of them felt like they were burned, but neither of them let go. He put the flowers into his little kettle and then looked up at Yu Nian. His brown eyes were warm in the sunset: "See you next semester... In elementary school." Purpose: fairness and justice
