Strange Cards

Chapter 490 I Love You All

After an unknown amount of time, A's voice rang out again.

"Aren't you going in to say goodbye?"

"Why do we want to go in?"

A appeared in Shigure's shadow at this moment, quietly watching the person inside.

"Perhaps, you could be one of them."

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be one of them too."

"It's just a pity that fate is too dramatic."

As Shi Yu spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and said.

"At first, I didn't believe in fate."

"I don't believe in everything that fate can influence; I only believe that human effort can overcome destiny and that all efforts can bring about change."

"But cruel reality has dealt me ​​blow after blow, forcing me to accept the harshness of fate."

"I chose to live, and I have to pay the price for it."

"The price has already been paid, and now I bear the burden of everyone's last wishes."

"And for those who are still alive."

Black smoke appeared from the shadows, then coalesced into a human figure that stood behind Shigure.

"Perhaps in a certain timeline, you are not affected by fate."

"You're still living the same life as before."

"Perhaps."

"Anyway, it's not this current timeline."

"I have fulfilled my last wish."

"Then, for the future of the world, burn your life."

At that moment, the four people inside the window seemed to notice Shigure standing outside, and Shigure also noticed that they had noticed him.

Looking at the group of people who had come up with the idea, Shigure raised his hand to make a gesture to stop them, gave them a farewell smile, and then raised his hand to open the black hole.

Goodbye, everyone.

As Shi Yu spoke, she turned and walked into the black hole, while the others could only watch helplessly as the black hole closed, unable to do anything.

……

In the following days, Shigure was fulfilling his last wishes when he looked at the list and realized that there was still one place he hadn't visited.

Shi Yu made several turns at work, eventually arriving at a wonton shop.

Shi Yu looked at the name "Rui Rui" on the shop sign and still walked in.

Shi Yu came to the seat she used to sit in, and after sitting down, she said...

"Uncle Liu, a bowl of wontons and a plate of fried dumplings."

"Add another basket of steamed dumplings."

"Okay."

Uncle Liu in the kitchen responded as usual, but after hearing Shi Yu's voice, he belatedly realized that something was wrong.

When Uncle Liu came out of the kitchen, he saw Shi Yu sitting quietly in her seat.

"Light rain?"

"Why are you eating at Uncle Liu's restaurant?"

"It's been years since you've been here, hasn't it?"

Shi Yu looked at Uncle Liu, who had aged considerably, and said with a forced smile.

"I've been busy traveling these past few years, and I only had time to come back to the South China Sea today."

"It's been a long time since I've had anything from Uncle Liu's shop. I'm actually craving it."

"Okay, okay, you can sit down first."

"The food will be here shortly."

Shi Yu nodded gently, propped her head up in her seat, and tapped the table lightly.

I don't know what he's thinking.

Not long after, Shiyu saw a figure rush into the store. After catching his breath, the figure leaned against the door frame and sat down opposite Shiyu.

"Brother Shi... Shiyu."

"My dad said you were eating at the restaurant, so I rushed over."

Shi Yu looked at Rui Rui, who was panting heavily from running, poured her a glass of water, and placed it in front of her.

"Take a sip of water, catch your breath, and then speak."

"Didn't you go to school today?"

Rui Rui drank most of the water in one gulp, then stared intently at Shi Yu.

"No, I have a competition this afternoon, so I took the day off."

"Brother Shigure..."

"These past years..."

"Where did they all go?"

Shi Yu thought for a moment, then took a sip of water.

"They've been everywhere, they've traveled all over the world."

"He left at nineteen and came back almost twenty-seven."

"I see."

"So this time..."

Shi Yu looked at Rui Rui, who seemed hesitant to speak, and then spoke.

"I'll come back to the South China Sea to see my old friends, say goodbye, and then set off again."

"I have a special mission, so I cannot stay in one place for long."

"I came to the restaurant for a meal because I haven't been back for a long time. I came back to have a taste of the food and say goodbye to you all."

"Oh, I see..."

During their conversation, all the raindrops were placed on the table, but Rui Rui looked at the plate of dumplings her father had brought her and still didn't take a bite.

Shiyu wolfed down her food, finishing it all in no time.

After standing up, Shigure scanned the QR code to pay with his phone and then put on the hood of his cloak.

"Brother Shigure, wait a minute!"

Shi Yu looked at Rui Rui, whose little face was flushed red as if she was holding back something, and gently patted Rui Rui's head.

"Save those words for when you grow up and say them to the person you like."

Rui Rui looked at Shi Yu, seemingly wondering why Shi Yu had seen through her thoughts.

Shigure then took out the strangely patterned Joker card and chuckled softly.

"I control my destiny."

"Bye now."

After Shi Yu finished speaking, he strode out of the store. Rui Rui chased after him after realizing what was happening, but she never saw Shi Yu again.

Many years later, Rui Rui realized that the moment she saw Shi Yu today was the last time she would ever see him.

……

On her way home from school, Liu Yu opened her phone, which was hidden in her bag, and Qi Nannan looked at Liu Yu with annoyance.

"You're really bold to bring your phone to school."

"When Brother Shiyu finds out, he'll definitely give you a good beating."

"Oh, it's okay~"

"I don't use it when I'm at school, I only open it to check messages after school."

As Liu Yu spoke, she opened the message and then froze instantly.

Qi Nannan looked at Liu Yu, who was standing there in a daze, and tugged at Liu Yu's hand.

"What are you still standing there for?"

"The red light is about to turn green."

Liu Yu, holding Qi Nannan's hand, ran wildly towards home.

After the two ran home, Liu Yu frantically searched for something all over the house like a madwoman. At first, Qi Nannan didn't understand, until she finally saw Liu Yu's chat box with Shi Yu.

After four years of sending over ten thousand messages to Shi Yu, Liu Yu finally received a reply in the chat box.

Qi Nannan knew how much Liu Yu missed Shi Yu, and she also understood why Liu Yu chose to run all the way home.

But the two of them found nothing in the end, only two birthday gifts mentioned in the messages.

Liu Yu and Qi Nannan looked at the birthday gifts Shi Yu had given them and remained silent for a long time.

Just then, a note appeared. The two picked it up and stared blankly at the words Shiyu had written on it.

"I love you all."

"See you tomorrow."
