The sugar is borrowed, and the heart is returned.

It's been a long time since I watched a cartoon so quietly. I

haven't been moved like this for a long time... After

reading "Arrietty Who Borrowed Something", I found this short comment: "It's sugar that is borrowed, What is returned is the heart." The heart suddenly felt uncomfortable again.

The wet eyes were still on the morning of the last parting, and

Xiang took out the sugar cube carefully wrapped in a handkerchief, "I can accept this this time, I'm very happy."

Arrietty took off the hair clip and placed it in Xiang's In the palm of her hand, she held Xiang's fingers, buried her head and shed tears, "You protected me, I'm very happy... No matter what time, be healthy."

He will have heart surgery the day after tomorrow and

she will be leaving soon

A short meeting and

a hasty separation...

He and she were 14 years old when

he had a serious heart condition and she was only the size of his finger.

They are not from the same world, but they meet.

She panics when she sees him the first time she "borrows something" and loses the sugar cube that her mother wanted so much.

He calmly delivered the sugar cube to the vent of her house, with a small note, "You dropped something."

Maybe the child's world is pure and simple, he wants to protect her, she willfully rejects the good intentions of human beings, remembering that the parents warned that human beings are very dangerous.

He was lonely and just wanted to talk to her. He rescued her from the crow. He was often alone in the garden with the cat in a daze. He sent Xiaoduo flowers to the vent.

He said, can you show me what you look like? He didn't dare to turn his head, for fear of scaring her.

She worries about the danger to humanity, and she trusts that he won't hurt her. Like a little adult, she willfully wants to make up for her own faults, often frowning and rejecting his request.

The wind blows~~The beautiful garden is always so quiet.

It was the first time she came to the garden to say goodbye, and it was the first time he saw her face.

"It's so beautiful."

His eyes were gentle, his smile was as soft as a breeze, and he looked at her quietly.

She was a little shy and just stood there and defended him about the race of this world.

Together, they rescued the mother who was caught by A Chun. He put the kitchen that he sent her back to the doll's house, and he returned to his bed, knowing that she would leave, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Maybe Nia knew this feeling, and took him to find her who left at the end of the forest.

Arrietty

, he called her name, and

she climbed to the top of the mountain to appear in front of him.



You have become a part of my heart and I will not forget you, ever.

You need to be healthy at all times.

Thank you for protecting me

goodbye...



The parting gift I can give you is just a small sugar cube.

The person with gentle eyes has since forgotten the world and is deeply hidden in his heart.

    Shawn: I never saw her again. But the following summer I returned and was happy to hear the people in the house down the road talking about how many things in their home had gone missing.
