There was a clear muddy mark left by rainwater washing away the soil, extending all the way to the ditch.

I have no way of knowing whether there is anyone inside, and I have no right to shout anyone's name outside. In addition, shouting loudly so early in the morning can easily disturb the people. The neighbors all need to rest, so I can't blindly blind myself for my own selfishness.

Such a good morning.

I knew where I should go. Not far from the courtyard, there was a building that was still under construction. It was not high, but it had more than a dozen floors. There was no construction team busy in the morning, and the man at the security booth slept soundly.

, I slipped in easily.

I climbed up to the roof of the construction building. Because it was still under construction, the roof was not capped, so it was completely flat and open with no guardrails or anything like that. I had an unobstructed view. The concrete floor was full of potholes, which prevented my feet from slipping outside.

I walked to the edge with an umbrella and looked towards the direction of the courtyard. I saw the scenery in the inner courtyard. It was the same as the day I left. The courtyard was originally full of flowers, plants and trees because of the disappearance of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. There was an empty space, and then a bare road.

The path continues to the gate of the inner courtyard.

The familiar stone table was placed in the open space in the center of the inner courtyard, but there was only one chair left, and it was empty and unoccupied.

I stood on the roof until daylight came out. In order not to be taken into the police station by the construction team as a fool who was about to jump off the building, I wisely left before anyone came and went back to the library in the big courtyard to do the same thing I had done. After get off work, when the construction team finished their work, I climbed up to the dozen or so floors again, sat on the edge and looked at the empty stone tables in the yard, and didn't go back home until nightfall.

Days like this lasted for a long time. Most of the time, there was no one in the yard when I climbed to the top of the building. But a few times, I could see that familiar figure sitting at the stone table without drinking.

I didn't have any snacks during the tea, I just sat there, dressed in black robes, straddling the great sword that had chopped off the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

She often sits alone in the yard, occasionally in a daze, and occasionally lies on the table to take a nap. Sometimes she makes tea by herself. I sit on a tall building a hundred meters away and watch her. When it rains, I hold an umbrella.

When the weather was nice, I brought a box of snowflake cakes with me, but I never ate much of the box of snowflake cakes when I got home. In the end, I was able to take advantage of the naughty children in the yard.

The view from sitting on the roof is very spacious, but my eyesight is limited and I can't see her appearance clearly, and I have no way of knowing whether her body is better or worse than before. In fact, I have thought about getting a

I took a look through the telescope, but I thought the appearance was still too weird, so I gave up and looked at the outline and shadow.

I always thought she was as powerful as her. In fact, she already knew my existence when I "looked" at her for the first time, but even so, she never raised her head. That was not a signal of rejection, so

I never called her name before going to the yard.

When the sun is shining, I will be in a good mood, and I wonder if she has met anything good today. When the weather is gloomy, with an umbrella slanted on my shoulder, I am inevitably in a gloomy mood, and I wonder if she is as sad as me. I don’t know.

When will my days end? If I can, I can live like this forever. I think she probably thinks so too. But if we all think this way, why are we still one at the edge of the sky and the other at the bottom of the abyss?

It's a puzzle, and I think if I can solve it, I can get an answer that will solve all the problems so far.

But I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the day when I get the answer - because the construction team is not just for a living, I found that I underestimated the capabilities of New China's powerful infrastructure. Before I could solve the puzzle, I got

The notice said that the construction building was almost completed! After that, the door was locked and sold to each resident. The rooftop became a private property with a padlock, and only residents could have the key to the rooftop.

On the last afternoon, I climbed to the top of the building. As I climbed the stairs, I expected that there would be people sitting there in the courtyard, but my hope was always met with disappointment. When I climbed to the top of the building and looked there,

Saw nothing.

It was dark, there was no one in the yard, it was empty.

I stood on the roof of the building for a long time. After my legs were numb, I sat down. I placed the snowflake cake beside me without opening it. I just stared blankly at the stone chairs in the open space in the yard, wondering if someone would suddenly

appeared in my field of vision, but until the street lights came on, I didn't wait for the person I wanted to wait for.

That night when I went home, I had another dream. In my dream, I dreamed of her. She was walking among the crowd. In the chaos, I stopped her and wanted to have a word with her.

After waking up from the dream, my eyes felt a little swollen.

The people brought by the crowd will eventually be taken away by the crowd. I know this truth.

When I went to that building again, the rooftop door was already locked.
Chapter completed!
