Ding Jinshi didn’t realize when, but there was soone back ho who cared so much about him.
That day, Ding Jinshi wrote a note on a piece of sticky paper: "Ding Long, thank you."
Then she folded it and placed it into a jar. It was the only piece of paper in the jar unrelated to Lan Li, but it carried another na.
Ding Jinshi said she wanted Ding Long to accompany her to see the scenery of the small town through spring, sumr, autumn, and winter. But in the end, because of Ding Long’s status, this wish could not be fulfilled. Even if he wanted to, Ding Long couldn’t just fly to M Country every few days.
However, from that ti on, Ding Long’s assistant had an extra task, which was to go to M Country every few months to deliver a variety of items to Miss Ding — things to play with, eat, and use. The young assistant thought, "The boss is really good to this sister of his."
Because they shared the sa surna, the young assistant naturally assud that Ding Jinshi was Ding Long’s own sister, so in the assistant’s eyes, the boss was the best and most adoring brother in the world.
For Ding Long, visiting M Country during the New Year was fruitful. After that, Ding Jinshi would frequently call him. Though not daily, she called about once a week or every ten days, and each call lasted two or three hours. Even though they were separated by a telephone line, it seed Ding Jinshi never ran out of things to say.
She would talk to Ding Long about the grievances and injustices she faced in her studies. Due to racial issues, Ding Jinshi had indeed endured many injustices. Naturally, she also shared with Ding Long the joyful and interesting things from her studies, and they would chat and banter.
And Ding Long, from ti to ti, would let Ding Jinshi know that there were many people in the capital who missed her. Although she was alone overseas, in a lonely place, back ho, even though she lost Lan Li, none of the friends she once had were missing. Those who cared for her were still silently doing so.
Ding Long would also tell Ding Jinshi that their father ntioned her today, asking about how Ding Jinshi was doing abroad. He would also persuade Ding Jinshi to call ho occasionally, even though she had never done so.
After returning ho, Ding Long sent birthday gifts to Ding Jinshi twice and wished her Happy New Year three tis. In no ti, Ding Jinshi graduated.
Over the phone, Ding Jinshi casually told Ding Long the date of her graduation ceremony. But Ding Long marked it on his calendar and booked his flight early, rescheduling all his work for those days.
When the day arrived, just like the two tis before, Ding Long flew to M Country alone. He was not only there to attend Ding Jinshi’s graduation ceremony but also, more importantly, to try to bring her back ho sooner.
More than two years had passed, and Ding Long was finally no longer restricted from traveling abroad. It seed like good news to him, but sohow, it seed to have co a bit too late.
In the grand auditorium of Ding Jinshi’s school, Ding Long imdiately spotted her in a white dress. Her black hair and eyes made her stand out in the crowd. She was the only one who caught Ding Long’s gaze.
He watched as Ding Jinshi received her diploma from the principal on stage, then took a group photo without much expression while her classmates were particularly excited. She was the first to step off the stage, and Ding Long stood next to the steps where she had to pass. As soon as she stepped down, she naturally saw Ding Long.
