The last time Luo Ying came to the zenith of the hospital was the morning when Rui Ni officially left.Most of Rainey's personal belongings have been removed, and it's just a last-minute trip to the hospital to pick up the odds and ends. Luo Ying has been following him, walking back and forth, like the two days before, always wanting to say something, but unable to say anything.Rainey gave her some small specimens that he didn't use, and she held them in her hands and stood there dumbfounded. "Dr. Rainey," she said loudly, but when he turned around, her voice weakened little by little, "No...nothing..."

In the end, it was Rainey who took the initiative to break the deadlock.He smiled slightly and said to Luo Ying: "About the transfer..." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Luo Ying kept bowing, her long hair flicking up and down on both sides of her fair neck. "Actually, it's really fine." Rui Ni raised her voice a little, overshadowing Luo Ying's apology, "This time your grandpa let me choose the place by myself again. I have nothing dissatisfied." "Grandpa said he called you the day we left, didn't he?" "yes."

"What did grandpa ask you?" "He asked me if I knew about it." "Then what did you say?" "I said I knew." "But I didn't tell you," Luo Ying said anxiously, "Why do you want to take the blame for us like this?" Rini smiled calmly: "But I know." Luo Ying suddenly froze.She stared blankly at Rui Ni, who still looked calm and peaceful. On this day, Rui Ni took Luo Ying to the rooftop for the last time.It was still early, and the rooftop was empty.The sun shines on the clean ground.The flowing water is murmuring, unmoved by human affairs.

Luo Ying stood by the wall, looking at the cliff in the distance.That narrow streak of fiery red looked very different at this moment.Luo Ying knew that somewhere behind the cliff, an ordinary crater called Linda Seyes was sleeping quietly.It is hidden among the mountains and has been sleeping ordinary for thousands of years.The wind comes and goes, it takes shape in the wind.It has seen winds flatten soil, water escape into space, and volcanic lava solidify into frozen stones.It was originally silent and gloomy like thousands of other craters, but at this moment it became an eye in Luo Ying's heart, embedded in thousands of mountains and mountains, with bright eyes looking at the starry sky.Because of its presence, the mountains are lit up.

"Dr. Rui Ni, I have one last question." Luo Ying raised her head, looked at Rui Ni's broad forehead, and asked softly, "Why are some people very close but not friendly, and some people are not friendly?" Not often together, but seems very close?" Rui Ni pushed his glasses, looked at her with a smile, pointed to the distant sky and said, "Have you ever seen a cloud over there?" Luo Ying nodded: "I saw a trace the next morning." Rainey said, "Yes, there is only a trace on Mars. But that trace is the explanation." "What's the meaning?"

"The cloud is actually a fluid. The small water droplets are very far apart in the air and walk freely independently, but because they have the same scale between them, they can scatter the same light. Therefore, there is light between them, and they look like a whole .” I see.Luo Ying thought.Yes, same scale, with light in between.I see. She had discovered what they really had in common.For three days at home, she kept wondering why many other people didn't agree with what they thought was natural.She recalled the dark stage, the debate on the big ship, the cave in the cold night, the orange warm house, the bright laughter floating in the air, and she seemed to be able to see that kind of searching and uncompromising rising above everyone's head.Luo Ying understands that this is the brand of growth.Wandering in those worlds that are more complicated than imagined, this is their only solid support.That chaotic time spent together was the whole source of their mutual identification, the solid background, the fact, without any other assumptions.

Luo Ying silently let go of her heart.She found the way she was looking for, it doesn't have to be fixed, she doesn't have to give up her freedom, but she doesn't have to worry about staying away, she won't be without warmth.They already have the same scale, with light. She had seen herself so clearly that she could say goodbye to herself.Now she saw her partner clearly again, and so she could say goodbye to him with peace of mind.She is no longer afraid of the loneliness of traveling far away, because they are clouds, and they are one with light.They are seeds grown on a tree, blown in all directions by the wind, but flowing in the same vein.

The morning is bright, everything is silent, and the whole city is waking up.Luo Ying and Rui Ni stood in front of the large glass, facing the rising sun, and stood as two black shadows. Luo Ying looked at Reni's profile, wondering how much he knew about her thoughts.Sometimes, she felt that he was just stating the simplest facts, but other times, she felt that he always knew what she wanted to ask. Rainey is wearing casual clothes today, a white shirt with light green stripes, a gray cotton jacket, and stands firmly with his hands in his pockets.He silently looked into the distance, his strict mouth did not show much expression.Same as when he first came here, Rui Ni still felt like a tree to Luo Ying, with few movements, but always protected on the top of his head, even his voice was like a tree, straight and gentle.

The tranquility of the early morning was once broken.A mental patient rushed in and slammed on the wall. A group of doctors and nurses rushed to the roof and pushed the man out.Someone scolded, someone softly comforted.The whole process was fast and noisy, like a gust of wind, blowing conflicts and blowing away stories, leaving emptiness and emptiness. Before leaving, Luo Ying raised her head and asked Rui Ni expectantly: "Dr. Rui Ni, can I still go to you in the future?" "I won't be a doctor in the future," Rainey smiled kindly. "The punishment regulations say that I can no longer teach. But it seems that there is no ban on visiting, so you can come as you want."

Luo Ying smiled. She stared blankly out the window, knowing that one part of her life was over and another was just beginning.She doesn't know what the future holds.She looked out of the window, and the vast land was silent.
