Chapter 64: Vanishing Love
Chapter 64: Disappearing Love
Haruka Ishikawa didn't expect that as they drifted apart, they would become inseparable.
In the second year after the breakup, Jie Shiyi kept getting closer to her. In
the first year after the breakup, they would chat across half the world due to the time difference.
But as they became busier and as they realized the distance and time difference between each other, they no longer contacted each other often. In
the second year after the breakup, Haruka Ishikawa had gotten used to life without Jie Shiyi.
She went from thinking of him often to occasionally, and from tossing and turning in her heart when she mentioned him to being calm now.
Time has been telling her that there is no possibility between them.
Jie Shiyi's words will never be fulfilled, and he can't catch up and hold her hand.
Jie Shiyi needs to pursue his dreams and realize his ambitions in Spain; Haruka Ishikawa also needs to run her business and expand her business territory in Japan.
Under the premise that they can see the future, one of them must make sacrifices.
Haruka Ishikawa doesn't want Jie Shiyi to sacrifice for her, and she doesn't want to compromise because of Jie Shiyi.
Therefore, Jie Shiyi's approach now is a trouble for Haruka Ishikawa.
In the private kitchen restaurant, Haruka Ishikawa and Jie Shiyi were looking at each other face to face.
The reason why she agreed to come to the appointment was that she wanted to have a good talk with Jie Shiyi about the things between them.
Jie Shiyi looked at Haruka Ishikawa, who was becoming more and more beautiful like the first clearing of the night snow, and his lips swayed slightly, and he had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to tell her.
After the breakup, he never thought that this was a real separation between them, and he always wanted to be by his side at any time.
When they were halfway across the world, they were busy with each other and could not get along like they did in Madrid.
He wanted to put the rose in his heart and hold it in his palm when he had the energy.
So after the breakup, he did not always cling to Haruka Ishikawa.
Now he has become a player comparable to Rocky, and he believes that he can take care of his roses while running on the court.
Ikawa Haruka filled a cup of hawthorn drink for Jie Shiyi: "Try it, the hawthorn wine in this store is delicious, not only does it not have the sourness of hawthorn, but it is sweet and smooth."
Jie Shiyi lowered his eyes, and the red and clear liquid flashed transparent light under the light.
He took the cup and savored the wine carefully, and Ikawa Haruka's clear voice rang in his ears.
Ikawa Haruka laid the groundwork for the words, with a smile on his face that was not quite the same as usual: "Shiyi, why did you suddenly want to return to China?"
Jie Shiyi put down the cup and looked at Ikawa Haruka: "Yao, I said, I came for you."
Ikawa Haruka's original prepared speech disappeared under Jie Shiyi's frankness, and she didn't know what to say all of a sudden.
When she looked into those sincere blue eyes filled with stars, she was like a small boat roaming on the blue galaxy.
Jie Shiyi has always been like this to her, his likes and love have always been blatant and known to everyone.
To this day, she still feels happy to be favored by him, even though she no longer loves him.
Jie Shiyi looked at Ikawa Haruka, whose eyes flickered, and thought she was very cute: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Ikawa Haruka looked at Jie Shiyi, who was sitting upright with his fingers crossed and ready to listen attentively. She calmed down and said: "We have broken up, and we need to pay attention to the degree of getting along with each other."
Jie Shiyi spoke in a low voice, and his blue eyes were still staring at the girl in front of him: "But I miss you very much, I love you very much." He really, really loves the girl in front of him with the breeze and the bright moon. As he said
this, he looked away, and the sweetness of the wine in his throat was now bitter and sour.
Hawthorn wine is not as sweet as Ikawa Haruka said, and she seems to have really left him.
Ikawa Haruka's alienated tone and clear brown eyes without any love told him that she really didn't love him.
This kind of gaze that made him nowhere to hide made him want to turn around and leave for the first time.
This was the first time he wanted to look back and turn back to the past.
If he could, he really wanted to go back to the time in Spain.
If he could, he would never agree to break up with her.
He thought that even if they broke up, Haruka Ishikawa would come back to him again.
He thought that as long as he caught up with her, they could continue to walk hand in hand.
Haruka Ishikawa exhaled a foul breath: "Can you see our future?"
"We both have things that we can't give up and have been pursuing. We can't compromise."
Haruka Ishikawa didn't give Jie Shiyi a chance to speak: "I don't want you to compromise for me, or I compromise for you."
"Whether it's you or me, the moment we bow our heads, we will no longer be ourselves."
Jie Shiyi loves Haruka Ishikawa who has his own career and is always shining.
Haruka Ishikawa also loves Jie Shiyi who gallops on the court and makes miracles come true.
What they love is always each other's unruly and free souls.
Jie Shiyi was stunned and used his eyes to outline the voice, appearance and smile of the girl in front of him. He could hear his heart falling into an earth-shaking howl.
How could he not be moved by such a sober and free girl, but he also knew that they could not go back to the past.
The gray and blue in Jie Shiyi's eyes became more and more intense, and finally returned to calm: "Then we are still friends, right?"
He didn't want to bother her, but he couldn't just disappear from Ikawa Haruka's world.
Now he can reluctantly retreat to the stage of friends, and when he is done with things but has no regrets, he will definitely stand by her side as a "boyfriend" again.
Even though he knows that Ikawa Haruka has no intention of him now, who can say for sure about the future?
He will return to Japan one day, and then there will be no obstacles between Ikawa Haruka and him.
Ikawa Haruka pushed Jie Shiyi's favorite chawanmushi to him: "Of course, we have always been friends."
After dinner, Ikawa Haruka drove Jie Shiyi back to the hotel, and the two said goodbye.
Jie Shiyi sat on the sofa and made a long-distance call on his mobile phone: "I want to change the address, send it directly to my house."
He and Ikawa Haruka once met a painter in the park, and the man promised to give them the painting after it was finished.
In the second half of the first year after Ichikawa Haruka left Spain, the painter came to the club to meet him.
The painter not only brought him the painting of the two of them hugging each other, but also showed him another work.
The painting showed a blue-haired boy holding a white rose and kissing it. The blue-haired boy's face was similar to Jie Shiyi.
Jie Shiyi wanted to buy the painting at that time, but the painter wanted to take it to participate in the competition and hold a personal exhibition.
It was not until a few days before Jie Shiyi returned to China that the painter contacted Jie Shiyi after the exhibition closed and asked for his address so that he could send the painting to him.
Jie Shiyi originally wanted to buy the painting and give it to Haruka Ishikawa, so he left Haruka Ishikawa's address, but he changed his mind after meeting today.
The painting is a proof of their past beauty, and he wants to keep it with him.
He has lost his rose, but the boy in the painting will always be with the rose.
He wants to keep the painting, at least he can look at it from time to time.
