High Speed Rail Zuoying Station.

The electronic notice board indicated that a train would be bound for Taipei in 15 minutes. A group of passengers were boarding the carriage one after another, and the hall announcer also sounded a kind reminder to complete the boarding procedure as soon as possible.

Some people who couldn't make it in time had to sigh and go to the ticketing system to exchange tickets.

Yu Xiaoyu and Yu Ruoling pulled a suitcase to find their seats in the fifth car. The former only held a bag of snacks bought from 7-11 in the lobby with both hands, while Yu Ruoling held the large green suitcase handle with clothes and personal belongings for two persons in her hands.

She followed behind her aunt with a helpless look on her face.

Why is she taking this？The weight and volume totally out of proportion. She really want to throw a yogurt on the head of the person in front.

"We are 12D and 12E, "Yu looked at the two high-speed rail tickets in her hand, and looked up to see the number 9 written next to her, "You go three rows ahead, and ours is on the left."

"Roger~"

Yu tilted her head and thought about it. She didn't know what the purpose of this trip to another aunt's house was.

Speaking of that aunt - Yu Xiaoyu's young sister - she still misses her three-year-old cousin boy who was in the "fun" period.

He would yell "Sister！！！", then jump up and kiss wildly on the cheek, at last, like a koala hang on her body.

...

Yu Ruoling unconsciously evoked a soft smile, and felt faintly looking forward to what the situation when the boy rushed up this time would be like.

Maybe like a little grown-up, he will ask her to eat cookies.

She stared at the fast-moving Jianan Plain outside the window. In the past, the reason for going to Taoyuan was to celebrate the boy's birthday, but now it's only July, and there's still more than a month before that day, so it can't be held in advance.

"Why are we going to do this time？"

"I don't know, your little aunt said she would take us to eat peacock clams in Bali, but she didn't talk about the rest."

"..."So you don't know why you set off？！

Wait.

She doesn't know either.

Yu Ruoling continued to stare at the Jianan Plain outside the window, trying to ignore the sound of ordering black tea beside her.

A second-generation Ford Focus black A-Class is parked in the docking area outside the first exit. From the fact that the hood still emits heat, one can tell that its owner has not turned off the engine, but there are still people in the car so it doesn't matter.

A pair of hands very similar to Yu Ruoling took out a packet of small biscuits in the black bag.

She tore it open and handed it to the boy wearing the seat belt in the rear safety car.

"Don't eat too fast, you can only eat five today."

"Okay~"Boy's eyes lit up, "Mummy~ can I ask you？"

"what's wrong？"

"When will sister and aunt get ready？"

He wanted to say "When will them arrive", but the meaning is unclear, which made his mother laugh, "It's 'when will them arrive'."

"Arrive！"

"Five more minutes. Daddy has gone to pick up sister and aunt！"

"Oh..."Boy pursed his lips, looking reluctant.

Yu Xiaohui softened her eyebrows and patted her abdomen subconsciously.

"Dear！Did you miss me~~~"Yu Xiaoyu boldly carried a box of sushi, "I know you haven't eaten lunch！"

"Auntie~"Boy said, but not cheer.

"Hey what's wrong？"She looked at her nephew with anticipation and fear of being hurt.

"Where is sister？"

“...”Yu Xiaoyu was hit and blood was reduced by unlimit.

There was a burst of wild laughter from the car.

"Hahahaha！You have fallen out of favor！"

"Wow...what should we do？Aunt will be sad haha..."Yu Xiaohui's husband couldn't help it.

Yu Ruoling came out from behind her aunt with a big smile on her face, "Here！Did you miss me？"

Sure enough, she received a hug and saliva baptism from the boy.

The family then drove into the riverside road, which was already occupied by rowdy tourists.

Because typhoons mostly turn to the northeast this year, and the late arrival of the stranded front, the Danshui River in July is in a period of abundant water, and the tide rises with other tributaries.

For example, in this Ximen Valley in Bali District, New Taipei City, if one squat down beside it, he or she can catch a handful of dirty stream water.

The weather is still unstable, but in the afternoon, the sky that is most prone to afternoon showers rarely shows a blue sky and sunshine, mixed with heavy gray-black dark cloud bands, an extremely incongruous vision emerges spontaneously.

But Yu Ruoling loved this kind of sky to death.

It's like seeing hope in the dark, isn't it？She took a deep breath of the smell after the rain in the air, and the soil, along with the moist fragrance of green grass, entered her nose, with a faint scent of basil.

She raised her head and squinted slightly at the four characters which "Peacock Clam Cuisine Restaurant" on the signboard, and suddenly felt a little hungry.

The special tones of the sky just now and the taste and atmosphere of the whole environment confused her brain for a moment.

The long-lost leisure and freedom..., put aside the mask and live a life or something. Yu Ruoling thought vaguely, but still couldn't determine what kind of expression her face was looking like at the moment.

Since the beginning of the second semester of the third grade, "ice cube" seems to be synonymous with her again.

Sometimes she feels that she is smiling, but she doesn't know that in the eyes of others, she is the same paralyzed face. It's like a debt collection or a bad guy.

"Baby come in！Boy has been clamoring to sit with his sister！"Yu Xiaohui pulled back her deep thoughts.

"Right away！"

...

"By the way, Baby is going to enter the fifth grade of elementary school in September this year？"

"Yeah, ready to become a teenager."Yu Xiaoyu said.

"Time flies."

"Even high-speed rail tickets are ready to buy adult fares."

"It's almost as tall as you."

"Hate you."
