Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yu Ru smiled and said, "Thank you. One true friend is enough for a lifetime. Two or more are too rare. We don't have to expect everyone we meet to become a confidant. As long as the other person can accompany you for a while, it's good enough. I think it's good that you and the friends you made in the UK can do some things together. Some things are safer to do with a companion. As for true friends, let it go. If you become an unreal confidant with the wrong person, it will be another kind of torture. You are very cute. I mean, your appearance and personality are like this. You don't have to doubt yourself. I think people who know the truth about you will regret not being able to become friends with you."

Ming Shisui covered his face embarrassedly and laughed.

The restaurant served food pretty quickly, and the two of them had their meal quickly.

Yu Ru scooped a mouthful of fried rice and put it into her mouth. At this moment, someone happened to pass by. It was a new customer. She subconsciously took a look and saw a familiar face.

A slightly fat man, a little over 1.7 meters tall, with some acne on his face, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. There was nothing special about his clothes and appearance, but at least he was not unpleasant to the eye. He was dressed in black and gray clothes, and the only color was the blue pea shooter on his coat.

The man must have felt someone was watching him, and he turned his head to look where Yu Ru was.

As soon as he turned around, Yu Ru confirmed that the person in front of her was her high school classmate Zhou Heyi. Their school would divide the classes after the first year of high school, and Zhou Heyi was not only in the same class with her in the first year of high school, but also in the second and third years of high school. They were familiar with each other, but also not familiar with each other.

During the three years of high school, Zhou Heyi sat behind her for two years. They never talked much, and their general communication was borrowing rulers and erasers and copying homework. Zhou Heyi often lost or forgot to bring his own eraser and ruler, so he always borrowed them from her, and often copied her homework.

She doesn't know how to talk, so most people would automatically reduce communicating with her. During the three years of high school, there were very few classmates who would talk to her from time to time. Zhou Heyi was one of them. Although they didn't tell jokes or chat, but just borrowed stationery and asked her if she wanted to eat spicy strips, it was also a kind of communication.

He was one of the few high school classmates she had ever met, not only because he would communicate with her and often borrow her eraser, but also because of the clothes he wore.

He always wears clothes with the Pea Shooter printed on them. In summer, he wears short sleeves, and in cold weather, he wears long sleeves with a jacket on top. The same thing is that no matter whether it is long sleeves or short sleeves, there will be a Pea Shooter printed on the clothes, in various colors. It is hard for people to forget such a loyal hobby.

The two looked at each other. Zhou Heyi just felt that Yu Ru looked a little familiar, but did not recognize her. He had only seen Yu Ru without a mask once. In addition, Yu Ru was in better shape now, with a little more flesh on her body and whiter skin. The changes were quite big.

Seeing that he didn't recognize her, Yu Ru took the initiative to wave and say hello. After all, Zhou Heyi's family was her first client for 3D design. As the first client, it had a great impact on her. She always remembered that feeling, so it was necessary to say hello.

She was only in her second year of high school at the time, and Zhou Heyi's family was planning to build a house. He happened to see her reading books on architectural design in her spare time, so he asked her about her skills. Then, the two of them started communicating like a real modeler and client.

Zhou Heyi looked around and saw that there were no people around. He was sure that Yu Ru was greeting him. He greeted his friend next to him and walked towards Yu Ru.

"Yu Ru, is that you?"

Although he had never seen Yu Ru's full appearance, her eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful and special that he could still recognize her by her eyebrows and eyes. Now that Yu Ru took the initiative to greet him, he dared to think that the person in front of him was Yu Ru.

Yu Ru nodded.

Ming Shisui looked back and forth between the two of them and asked, "Baby, is this your friend?"

Yu Ru nodded, [Maybe, he was my high school classmate.]

"Oh..." Ming Shisui nodded, turned to look at Zhou Heyi and said, "Hello, I'm Baobei...Xiaoru's friend. If you want to talk to Xiaoru, I can help Xiaoru convey the meaning using sign language."

"Oh, hello." Zhou Heyi responded and said to Yu Ru, "Yu Ru, are you studying here? Or are you traveling here?"

Yu Ru didn't answer and looked at Ming Shisui.

Ming Shisui answered immediately, "Baby...Xiaoru is here to travel."

Apart from borrowing stationery, there was no previous story or communication between the two of them. They could not reminisce about the past. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they each ate their own meal.

……

After coming out of the restaurant, Yu Ru and Ming Shisui continued to wander outside, the two of them walking aimlessly.

"Baby, what should we do? It's already afternoon, and it will be dark soon. Then it will be tomorrow, and you will leave tomorrow." Ming Shisui looked very anxious.

Yu Ru patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be nervous. Maybe I'll come again next month, or you'll come back."

Ming Shisui sighed, "Baby, didn't you want to study abroad before? Why don't you want to now? It would be great if you could come too, so we could go to school together again. I still feel like I'm not used to it here, but I adapted to it right away when you came."

She has not yet adapted to the language environment here, and there are no familiar people around her, which makes her feel anxious from time to time. However, as long as Yu Ru is here, everything seems to be solved. She really hopes that Yu Ru can study here too.

[I did before, but I felt I had enough money. Now I feel I don’t have enough money, so there is no need. If I want to study abroad, I would actually like to go to Germany. I haven’t considered other countries yet.]

"Germany?" Ming Shisui's eyes widened slightly. "Baby, I heard that those who go to Germany to study will lose contact. If you really go there and I can't contact you, what should I do?"

Yu Ru shook her head slightly and smiled while using sign language to say, "No, I won't lose contact. Don't worry about that. I can't speak. I can only think about these things. Nine out of ten times I won't go."

Ming Shisui suddenly held Yu Ru's hand and said firmly, "Baby, you can definitely speak. I felt like you were about to speak several times."

Yu Ru squeezed her hand tightly, then released it and gestured, "I hope so. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the fact that I'm leaving tomorrow. You have to be strong. Don't cry for days after I leave."

When Ming Shisui heard her words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and tears were already in his eyes before they even said goodbye.

Yu Ru casually pulled out a few tissues from her bag and gave them to her, and then used sign language to say, "Actually, you are stronger than you think. Although you always say that you can't adapt to this place, you have lived here alone for a long time. You can do it."

“Ooooooo…baby, I can’t.”

Yu Ru held Ming Shisui's face with both hands, forcing her to look at her, "Colorful clouds are easy to disperse, bright moons are hard to be full, and so is life. Promise me that you won't cry all night because of our separation. You only have one heart, and it doesn't have enough space for your heart to be broken. If you are heartbroken too much, you will get heartbroken syndrome. Are you afraid? You have to take care of your emotions and don't let yourself break down too often, otherwise you will be like me, going crazy from time to time. ]

"Wuwuwuwu..." Ming Shisui took a step forward and hugged Yu Ru tightly, ignoring the people around him, "I really wish I had a hundred hearts, so that I could cry for you every time without feeling completely heartbroken."
