Lonely as a shadow, gentle as sand

"Who are you?" The girl looked at the red-haired boy in front of her, blinking her eyes and pretending not to ask him.

She was sitting on a brown-black swing, a long white dress, and hair like a waterfall.When the boy looked at her back from a distance, he once wondered if his back was as thin as hers.

So he pretended to be passing by, but was stunned by this question.

Under the setting sun, I couldn't see the expressions of the two children clearly, each with an expression of shrinking or anticipation?

"I..." Airo.The last two words can't be uttered, if she knows his name, he will definitely be hated, so he simply lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, trying to change the subject, but he is really not good at communicating with people...

"Come and play on the swing with me, but you need to push me first." The girl smiled brightly, filling his green eyes.His clear and beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the boy let out a soft breath, thinking that it was lucky she didn't continue to ask him.

Gaara's little tricks were seen by her, she didn't expose it, and couldn't bear to expose it, besides, she knew his name.

"Oh." There was no unnecessary expression on the boy's face, he just nodded his head, and then pushed her up and down.In the eyes of outsiders, he must think that he is very unhappy, but in fact, he is going crazy with happiness.The beating of the heart, the pure joy made him bend the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

"Wow~ It's so high, so high, just a little higher—" She was also so happy. For some reason, the swing made a creaking sound, and suddenly, the girl fell from mid-air, like a bird with a broken string. Kite, she was so defenseless.Close your eyes. She did the same thing when she encountered something she was afraid of. As long as she couldn't see it, she didn't have to worry about it.

It's an escape.

However, different from what she imagined, she felt a subtle feeling, eh?Why doesn't it hurt?On the contrary, it is warm and soft.

Somewhat surprised, he opened his eyes to find out, the particles flying all over the sky turned out to be his sand.

"I'm sorry." He lowered his head in self-reproach, because he pushed too hard, but in fact, it was more sad.Because he used sand in front of her, she must know who she is, and she will definitely ignore him.

How do you know—

"You are amazing." She lowered her head and approached his face, looking at his expression, her tone was sincere.

"It was just an accident. The wind was too strong, or I was too light, and I was blown away by the wind. Don't care about these small details, it doesn't matter." She smiled harmlessly, and used Hand gestures in the air.

She clearly saw the boy's eyes filled with water vapor, which suddenly became radiant.

"From now on, do you want to play together every day?" The girl tilted her head and asked him, but she didn't tell him her name.Just because she is also a terrifying existence.Not telling him is just because of that poor and fragile self-esteem.

She only said to him, my name is Jian Jian, and your little cloth bear is very cute, so, in the future, I will call you Xiao Bu, okay?

[Hey, Xiao Bu, hurry up and do it, this time I will push it.Hmph, look at me pushing you high-high-high. ]

One day, two days, three days, with her every day, the pale days seemed to be stained with blush, as if someone had added a beautiful touch to the blank paper.

I thought I would be happy like this forever.However, God will always show you off when you are most slack, and then watch you bow your head in front of fate.

...

[Looks like... she won't come again. ] Gaara muttered softly, and the hand holding the little bear tightened a little bit, looking up at the birds flying across the sky, I always felt that she also left like a bird.

No one came to tell him, and he couldn't find her, until she disappeared, and Gaara discovered that he didn't know anything about her.

[Does she know my name now. ]

...

"Why don't you accept my ointment? I didn't hurt him on purpose." The boy was sitting on the swing, reviewing himself. Just now he was helping a group of children pick up balls, but the children turned pale when they saw him. It was just to return the ball to him, and he shot at that person so unrestrainedly.

The swing let out a scream of "squeak" and "squeak", piercing the dusk, and it was like a knife was stabbed in his heart.

In the morning, at dusk, at night, every day and every night, Gaara would stand in front of the swing for a while, with luck in his heart.Standing beside the boy, Yashamaru listened to his whispers and thought of his sister, that gentle sister...

Memories began to overlap, and Yashamaru leaned down and gave him a hug.Whisper in his ear: "You still have me."

[Simple didn't come, did it.. never come again, don't, don't leave me alone again. ]

[I... am still alone, no, I still have Yashamaru and you, Xiaobuxiong. ]

Those evenings, that hearty laughter, I miss it very much.As time went by, there was no longer a red-haired child in that place, maybe even the swing felt lonely, it could only swing gently in the wind like a wicker.

Squeak, squeak.

- 5 years later - wind and sand blowing, this is the country of wind.

The dust is flying, this is the country of the wind.

The youthful boy of that day no longer exists, now there are Shura who only loves himself, and Gaara who only fights for himself.

"Come out, oh, is it an alien intruder?" Gaara's tone was light, the girl slowly walked out from behind the dune, wisps of sand involuntarily entangled her hands and feet, and a coldness flashed across her eyes .

The crimson hair is flying, followed by the bloodthirsty sand. Only by killing everyone can you know your existence.

"Shua, Shua, Shua—" Shazi was decisive, and surrounded her layer by layer without any hesitation.Gaara pursed his lips slightly when he saw the man close his eyes in resignation.

"Is this person really him?" Teng Anxi couldn't believe it, he couldn't breathe, his body was tightly wrapped in sand, this, is this really him?What happened to him all these years!In the past, when I knew that he was Gaara, I was very at ease in my heart. I often hid aside and peeped at him secretly, knowing his loneliness and his sadness.

If it wasn't for me, my father and mother wouldn't have died, and I didn't need to be hidden in the Anbu of the Fujiasu clan, if I hadn't left without saying goodbye at that time...

"Sand binding..."

"Gara, you can't kill her! That's a survivor of the Fujiyasu clan." A brilliant golden color stood in front of Gaara, and Temari appeared in time, with worried eyebrows already showing.Why is Teng Anxi still not doing it?or already...

"Get out of the way, be careful I'll kill you." His tone remained the same, and there was no wave in his green eyes.However, the sand loosened a bit.Finally, the sand was completely retracted, and the moment the sand faded away, their eyes met.Familiarity is like boiling water, splashing wantonly...

A bloody smell welled up in my heart, and I felt dizzy.Xiao Bu, is this our reunion?It must be very hard to live alone, and I live very hard...

Temari's anxious voice echoed in his ears.
