She always said that she was a tomboy. It turned out that she had such a lady moment, but Jingyan Ye had never seen it before.

At the end of the performance, Yiyao Duan got up to thank the audience. The auditorium burst into warm applauses. The little girl winked at him as she looked around. Jingyan couldn't help smiling.

Jingyan had no idea about what the next performance was at all. He was only thinking about one thing: after this show, Yiyao would leave the kindergarten and he would never see her again.

Thinking of this, Jingyan got up and left his seat. He came to the back stage of the kindergarten's senior class. He recognized his girl at a glance.

Yiyao was sharing the joy with other kids excitingly. Seeing him coming, she immediately stopped talking with her friends and asked him, "What are you doing here?"

Jingyan was a little depressed. "Which elementary school are you going to after graduation? I'll go to there too next year."

Yiyao was stunned, taking his hand and saying, "Come with me."

Jingyan was stunned. After a long silence, he said, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know. It's a very far-away place, anyway."

"Then I won't see you again?" Jingyan's little heart hurt and his eyes soured.
