Chapter 678: Sister Can't Wait Ten Years for You

And at that same time, just when the little boy had finished staring blankly and was about to panic and run after her to stop her, another slightly sad loli voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Lynn-chan, let's break up."

Little Lynn and Lynn both turned their heads, staring blankly at a girl not far away who had stepped out of a luxury car, dressed like a doll in a princess dress.

Long, slightly curled hair, chubby cheeks, a bow on her head, eyes reddened as if she had just been crying.

Lynn stared blankly.

Right.

He remembered.

The reason he hadn't run after her back then was because there had been a second girl, who on the same day had also asked him for a breakup…

Among the crowd in the breath-soil, the breeze gently stirred the two children's hair.

They stood facing each other in that small, wordless way.

So close, yet seeming as distant as the horizon.

It was as if the heartbreak that had just happened was replaying itself, only the sole difference was that the female lead had been swapped.

"Le-chan, why would you—"

Little Lynn panicked and moved his lips, trying to reach out and take her hand, but she lowered her head, bit her lip, and hid her small hand behind her back.

The round princess dress made her look peaceful and porcelain-like, as if she had stepped out of an anime, a doll come to life.

But she spoke those merciless words.

"I'm sorry, Lynn-chan. Although I really like being with you, I'm about to go abroad with my parents, and I'll probably never see you again. You should… forget me."

She said with reddened eyes.

Click—

Lynn could almost hear the sound of that boy's heart and his own heart shattering.

"But—" Little Lynn tremblingly reached out, grabbed her shoulder, and said, "We can still write letters, right? Didn't you say— even if you go to Honduras, you'll never forget your blue friend!"

The chubby little girl in the princess dress bit her lip, turned to one side, and said softly:

"I'm sorry, Lynn-chan, because I secretly asked Mommy, and Mommy said she doesn't like boys who are shorter than her daughter…"

She dragged her little shoes and planted her feet on the ground, then reached out her chubby little hand, lowered her head, and moved it horizontally from above Little Lynn's head to her own forehead.

"And Lynn-chan, you're too short."

Rumble—

Lynn felt as if thunder were detonating inside both the child's heart and his own.

He stepped back a few paces.

That wrenching kind of pain seemed to span over a decade, transmitting from the deepest memories into the present in waves.

Lynn was hollow-eyed.

Little Lynn was hollow-eyed too.

[Ping! Your Happiness -8]

Under their watching eyes, the little girl in the princess dress, tears reddening her gaze, handed back the tentacle plush he had once given her, then turned away, looking back every few steps.

As the car started, they could only see through the window that pair of reddened eyes and the expression of reluctant farewell from afar.

And that marked the end of that broken day.

His second romance ended without result.

Five minutes later…

He suffered his second heartbreak…

Lynn lowered his head, pressed his hand hard to his chest, feeling that needle-like stabbing pain. Even after more than ten years, that ache remained engraved in his bones.

He later learned that there really had been a fishbone stuck in his esophagus for two weeks, but the heartache he felt back then was unquestionably real.

At that time…

He truly understood nothing…

If he had one chance to start over, he would have dashed forward and cried to that girl,

"I'm not done growing yet, I'll get taller!!"

Lynn hung his head in gloom.

But he knew that nothing could be turned back.

The girl who went to Honduras became one of the lingering regrets in his heart.

As expected…

No wonder it was the Colossus's mental space…

It really could lay your deepest fears, your most stubborn regrets, the things you most refuse to face and touch, raw before you, and mercilessly crush your heart.

Lynn clenched his fist, closed his eyes, and lifted his face toward the desolate sky.

Drizzling rain dotted his cheeks.

Just like his mood at this moment.

Bleak and lonely…

But why?

Why had he been so stupid back then and not chased after her? Even if she took me to Honduras, wouldn't it just be one more pair of chopsticks to carry?

No, he remembered he had intended to chase after her, but he had only run a few dozen meters…

"Student Lynn…"

A woman's voice with a faint, bittersweet smile made Lynn suddenly open his eyes, and he stood there dazed.

That's right.

He remembered again…

Yes.

Back then…

Across the road, Little Lynn with a backpack had also been standing there in a trance, tilting his head to look at that graceful, pure girl he had just collided into.

Long black hair fell over her back, wearing a short skirt, with that familiar, slightly sad smile on her face. Although her height barely reached the girl's waist, that familiar white blouse and the faint scent of lilies on her made Lynn recognize her at once.

"Teacher…"

Little Lynn held his backpack in a daze.

The tall girl squatted down, took out her handkerchief, and gently wiped a speck of dust from his face. She was so warm, like that gentle elder sister in kindergarten who would give him a comforting hug every noon.

Or let him rest his head on her lap while she softly read those interesting stories in books.

Or like now, smoothing the creases from his clothes and brushing the dust from his body.

She was so gentle and considerate.

Although she wasn't much older, she was like the white moonlight in his heart, giving a small child's soul something beautiful.

She was that kind of person…

But almost at the same time, he heard that sorrowful voice.

"I'm sorry, Lynn."

"Sister probably can't wait ten years for you…"
