Facing Ling's request to stay, An An gently shook her head and said to him: "Ling, I know you really want me to stay, but you also know that I came here to visit relatives during the summer vacation.

Now that the vacation is over, I have to go back to my country to continue my studies, and my family is waiting for me there.”

When Ling heard this, he nodded disappointedly and said, "I understand, An An, you must be careful, I will always be here waiting for you."

Yu Anan looked at Ling's determined eyes and her heart was filled with emotion. She knew that no matter where she was, Ling would always silently support and protect her.

She smiled and nodded, then said, "Thank you, Zero. I will be careful, and you should take good care of yourself too."

Before An An left, Ling suddenly came forward, hugged the little girl tightly, and whispered in her ear: "I will wait for you...so, you must never forget me."

Just like that, Yu Anan left the hospital with her parents. She looked back in the direction where Ling was, feeling a little reluctant.

See you in the future, Zero...

On the day of farewell, Ling stood outside the security checkpoint of the airport, watching Yu Anan and her parents walking away, and clenched his fists tightly.

He knew that this separation was not the end, but a new starting point in their respective lives.

One day, they will meet again...

After half a day, An An finally returned to the embrace of her motherland and started her new life.

In her life journey, there is a person who always accompanies her growth, that is... Furuya Rei...

Although the two were separated by the changes in their lives, their hearts were always thinking of each other and were closely connected.

Every two or three days, the phone would ring on time, and every time it was Furiya Rei's voice. His greetings and his concern always made An An happy.

Not only that, Fūya Ling also sent gifts to An An from time to time, each of which was carefully selected and filled with his affection for An An.

An An once worried that the passage of time and the distance would make the two of them become strangers, but Jiang Gu Ling proved his long-lasting love with his actions.

He always remembered every detail of his acquaintance with An An, and he never forgot the happy times they spent together. Even though they were still children when they met and only spent a month or two together, Furuya Ling will never forget the little angel who saved him from the kidnappers.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, both of them have entered junior high school. Although the frequency of phone calls is not as frequent as before, there are always two calls a week.

On the phone, Furutani Ling always shared with An An the interesting things he experienced at school. The two chatted and laughed happily, as if they had returned to the carefree days of the past.

Sometimes the length of a call even exceeded expectations. An An watched the overseas call bills continue to increase. Although she felt a little helpless, she was more touched and happy.

And Furiya Ling seemed to have noticed this, and the next day a large sum of money appeared in her mobile phone account. This generous gesture surprised and touched An An.

Although the two are only close friends, their relationship has long surpassed the scope of ordinary friends.

At the very least, Yu Anan is very satisfied with her current situation.

As she was about to graduate from junior high school, An An was feeling depressed because of a quarrel with her parents. When she spoke to Fūya Rei on the phone, her tone was inevitably a little cold.

Furiya Rei fell into a brief silence... He tried his best to comfort her and expressed concern about her situation before hanging up the phone in a hurry.

Since then, the frequency of their calls has dropped to once a week or even once every two weeks.

Yu Anan knew that she might have caused Ling to misunderstand her, so she wanted to take advantage of a phone call to completely clear up the misunderstanding with him.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Zero's comfort that arrived first.

On a hot afternoon, An An sat by the window, staring blankly at the new gift sent by Furuya Rei.

This is a beautiful picture album. She flipped through the paintings in the album. Each painting was full of artistic atmosphere and beautiful expectations for life.

At this time, the phone rang. It was Furutani Rei calling.

"An An, did you receive my gift?" The voice of Rei Kiryu came through the microphone, warm and kind.

"Yes, I got it." An An replied softly, her words full of joy: "This... are all drawn by you?"

"Of course! How can I give you a gift that is just a sham? I feel relieved knowing that you like it so much." Fūya Ling keenly noticed An An's abnormality and asked again: "An An, have you been worried recently?"

"Well... I just had a fight with my parents. My tone was a little rude when I answered the phone last time. Don't mind it." After all, An An didn't want to make Zero Kiryu worry too much about her.

"There will always be friction between family members, it's okay." Furuya Ling comforted, "And you still have me as a friend, no matter what happens, I will support you."

Hearing this, An An's heart was filled with warmth. She looked at the album in her hand, listened to the pleasant voice coming from the receiver, and her heart was filled with gratitude and happiness.

"Thank you, Zero, for always...thank you for being so tolerant of me."

Yu Anan suddenly thought of something, and immediately held the microphone and said to the man, "By the way, I have a gift for you too. If you calculate the date, it should be here."

"Hmm? I didn't receive it. Wait for me..."

Yu Anan waited for about ten minutes, and Ling hurried back and answered the phone.

He chuckled softly, his laughter was low and sweet, vaguely touching An An's heart.

"I received it. It's a letter..."

Because of Yu Anan, Ling had already mastered Chinese. It must be said that among all the requirements, singular Chinese was the most difficult, but he studied it very seriously.

But...Furiya Rei fell into deep thought when he saw the scribbled handwriting in the letter.

"An An, can you please stop testing me?"

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Nothing, I'm reading a letter, wait a minute."

The content of the letter revealed An An's deep apology between the lines. She said that she was in a bad mood recently, so she did not contact him actively, and hoped that he could forgive her.

After reading the letter, Fōtani Ling felt mixed emotions. He knew that An An had not forgotten him, but was just troubled by some things.

"Ms. Yu An'an, your apology is sincere. I forgive you."

"Hehe, then I would like to thank the laughter for its magnanimity."

……

The days passed one by one, and when it was almost time for him to graduate from junior high school, Rei Furutani received a special gift from An An, which was a beautiful photo album.

There are no photos in the album, but various Q-version drawings drawn by An An herself, recording every detail of the two people's acquaintance from the time they met to the time they met.

The last photo in the album is a solo photo of An An when she graduated from junior high school. She was already very pretty, and her smiling expression was even more beautiful.

She wrote under the photo: Thank you for always being with me, I hope our friendship will last forever.

When Rei Furiya looked at the photo album, his heart was filled with emotion and happiness.

He touched the girl's photo with his fingers, and for a moment, his thoughts flooded over him.

But... An An, I seem... unable to maintain this friendship any longer.
