Farewell, My Love

Growing Up

When Shen Xing was in high school, she was sent abroad to study. It was the first time they had been apart since childhood.

Liang Si, who was in junior high school at that time, missed Shen Xing very much and would send her messages and call her every week. When Shen Xing was in her senior year of high school, Liang Si also became a high school student. She gradually stopped contacting Shen Xing frequently because she gradually learned the boundaries between boys and girls and was afraid that Shen Xing would be annoyed by her messages.

After finishing his senior year of high school, Shen Xing chose to return to China and continue his studies at a domestic university. He had noticed Liang Si's estrangement and had been missing her constantly during his three years abroad. Shen Xing gradually realized that his feelings for Liang Si were not the kind of affection a brother has for his sister. When his eyes were open, he was thinking of her in his mind; when they were closed, he was thinking of her in his heart. Shen Xing, who had never been in love before, asked his classmates for advice and received a strange but definite answer: he liked her.

No. He needed to constantly remind himself that she was his sister. But the moment he saw Liang Si upon his return to China, all ethics and morals flew out of his mind. All he could think of was three words: "Hold her tight." And that's exactly what he did. "It's not like she's my biological sister. Who cares?"

After confirming his feelings, Shen Xing began to treat Liang Si well in various ways. He kept testing Liang Si's feelings for him, wondering if there were any feelings beyond those of a brother and a family member.

Liangsi didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that she was in trouble. She was falling in love.

It is said that girls mature earlier than boys, and this is indeed the case. Liangsi discovered her feelings for her elder brother during her third year of junior high school when he returned from abroad for Christmas. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. Shenxing, looking at his trembling sister at the airport, put his scarf around her neck and held her hand in his pocket as they slowly walked out of the airport. It was snowing outside, and it was hard to get a taxi outside the airport, so Shenxing called the driver home to come and pick them up.

Liangsi looked up at Shenxing, who was a head taller than her, and stared at the face she had missed for so long. Suddenly, Shenxing turned his head, and Liangsi came to her senses. His face was less than one-third of the distance from hers.

"Close your eyes," Shenxing said.

The warmth on her face was much greater than that on her hand. Her heart was beating rapidly as if it were on a high-speed track. Liangsi felt Shenxing playing with her eyelashes.

"Open your eyes," he said. Your eyelashes are all covered with snow. It must be uncomfortable."

Liangsi was stunned and still hadn't recovered from the moment before. She nodded mechanically.

This was their Christmas after a two-year separation, and it was on that night that Liangsi confirmed her feelings.

But both of them were waiting. Shenxing was waiting for Liangsi to come of age, and Liangsi was waiting for the opportunity to study on the same campus as Shenxing.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, Liangsi was already a freshman in college, and Shenxing was in his third year of college, busy with his studies. This time, Shenxing was not only Liangsi's elder brother but also her senior.

Yes, Liangsi had made it. She was admitted to the same university as Shenxing, a school ranked second in the country. She could finally go to the same city as Shenxing and go to school and come home together. The two hearts were getting closer and closer.
