#81 - The significance of going to the moon

The seventh episode opened with a lively scene, a carnival as许翰 remembered it.

Shen Yi and Cheng Li's memory exploration journey was still not over.

They learned about the past of the Xu Han and Xu Qiao brothers, and why Xu Han didn't remember his childhood.

The two judged that the reason why Xu Han wanted to go to the moon before he died, but didn't know why, was because he had forgotten his childhood memories.

But the source of his most fundamental desire to "go to the moon" originated in his childhood.

But now, there were actually several doubts in front of Song Na.

Since it was a wish that originated in childhood, even if the memory itself disappeared, it was still a strong wish that could not be forgotten.

Why was Xu Han indifferent to the obsession of going to the moon for such a long time from childhood to old age?

Instead, when he was about to die, he would rather ask people from technology companies to explore his memory and tamper with his dreams to realize this wish.

And, what does going to the moon mean to Xu Han?

He was not interested in astronomy or aliens at all.

Why go to the moon?

And why the moon, why not Mars, Saturn, or Jupiter?

While Song Na was thinking about these questions, the plot continued to advance.

The protagonists of this carnival banquet, Xu Han and his brother Xu Qiao, were having a great time.

And in this plot, a plot that made Song Na feel a little uncomfortable appeared.

Xu Han and his brother Xu Qiao participated in the whack-a-mole game together, and both of them completed it perfectly.

But because Xu Qiao played first, he won a train toy, while Xu Han only won another prize.

Xu Han was emotionally lost, and his brother Xu Qiao saw this and prepared to share the train toy with him.

But the mother praised Xu Qiao for being generous and sensible, and accused Xu Han of being stingy and noisy.

Xu Han's emotions gradually became more and more depressed.

He watched his mother and Xu Qiao eating their favorite pickled cucumbers, which he hated the most, and left alone temporarily.

"That biased mother is so hateful. You know the two brothers have such a good relationship, why do you have to be like this?" Song Na whispered.

Moreover, Song Na, who knew the later plot, became more and more angry as she watched.

In the sixth episode, she clearly crushed her child Xu Qiao to death, but made Xu Han suffer, and raised Xu Han as a substitute for Xu Qiao.

The most excessive thing was that Xu Han's name was called Xu Qiao, the dead other son, even at Xu Han's wedding.

At this time, Song Na's sympathy for Xu Han reached its peak.

In the plot, Xu Han came to the back mountain of the carnival and headed towards the top of the mountain along the winding mountain road.

Summer cicadas chirped, and stars filled the sky.

When they crossed that mountain, what appeared in front of Xu Han and the audience was a boundless sea of stars.

【So beautiful!】Shen Yi was shocked by the beautiful starlight of Xu Han's childhood.

【He found the best place!】

Cheng Li said with emotion as he looked at Xu Han sitting on the tree trunk on the top of the mountain.

The virtual consciousness of the two people had no form under the influence of the instrument, and would not attract the attention of the childhood Xu Han's personality consciousness.

The little Xu Han looked up at the stars, his eyes full of longing and loneliness.

Mother's love belonged to his brother.

But the beautiful scenery of the stars belonged to him at this moment!

Cao Shou, the child star who played Xu Han, made Song Na's heart melt with just this one look.

In the story, Shen Yi and Cheng Li launched a series of discussions about Xu Han's experience.

The two also sympathized with Xu Han's childhood.

But just when Xu Han left his mother and brother alone, and he was alone on the mountain watching the stars, a burst of footsteps came from behind him.

It was a little girl.

Beautiful, calm, and taciturn.

But his arrival made Xu Han nervous.

Seeing the little girl preparing to leave without saying a word.

【Wait, I'm Xu Han, what's your name?】

【You took my place.】Xiao Xi looked at the tree trunk Xu Han was sitting on.

【Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't want to occupy this tree trunk alone, would you like to sit on it with me?】Xu Han asked a little nervously.

【Are you here to see the stars?】Xiao Xi said, sitting side by side with Xu Han on the tree trunk.

【You too?】

At this moment, the camera pulled away, and the clear, light yellow round moon in the sky was very large.

The vast and boundless starry sky was very wide.

But under them, were Xu Han and Xiao Xi looking up at the sky.

They were still children, and at this moment, they met for the first time in their lives.

Xu Han, who had just been blamed by his mother, felt the grievances in his heart dissipate at this moment.

The strange girl next to him seemed to have the power to make him feel peaceful.

He and Xiao Xi communicated smoothly, without any pauses.

Slowly, the two people sitting together, the topic changed from their names to the stars in the sky.

【So, what do you think the stars in the sky are?】Xiao Xi asked the boy next to him calmly.

【My dad said that those stars are big fireballs hanging in the air! I bet he's lying to me!】

【You know, adults like to lie, like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the like.】Xiao Xi said.

【Have you ever tried to make a rabbit with stars?】Xu Han said.

【Like finding constellations in the sky?】Xiao Xi asked.

Song Na grasped something.

Rabbit?

Paper rabbit?

Why did the topic suddenly turn to rabbits.

【Well, I tried to connect the stars in the sky into lines to find the pattern of a rabbit. But I never succeeded once.】

【Want to try again?】Xiao Xi asked.

【Then let's compete to see who finds it first! I'll count three, two, one, start!】Xu Han's voice was a little excited.

"I, I found it." Xiao Xi said immediately.

The camera pulled away, and the starry sky was presented in front of Song Na.

She also began to frantically look for rabbit patterns like the two children in the play.

【Where?】

【In the sky】Xiao Xi said.

【Where in the sky?】

Xu Han leaned his head slightly towards Xiao Xi, trying to see the starry rabbit in her eyes from where Xiao Xi's gaze was looking.

【Think boldly.】Xiao Xi said calmly.

A beautiful and soothing interlude sounded.

The scene of the boy and girl looking up at the starry sky under the moonlight was imprinted in Song Na's mind.

A kind of romantic emotion was born in her heart.

Xu Han's mother's bias towards him.

Xiao Xi's innate autism.

At this moment, these problems that plagued the two people disappeared.

They may have met for the first time.

But this short time allowed the two to experience the emotion of being "understood" for the first time.

【Think boldly, bigger than anything else.】Xiao Xi hinted.

【Wait, I see it.】Xu Han looked at the starry sky excitedly.

【Tell me what you see?】Xiao Xi turned her face and looked at Xu Han.

But this naive question from the childhood Xiao Xi made Song Na's heart shrink.

This.

A scene flashed in Song Na's mind.

In the second and third episodes, the elderly Xiao Xi held a paper rabbit with a yellow belly and blue ears, head, and feet, and the line she asked the elderly Xu Han with complicated eyes on the hospital bed jumped into her mind.

【Tell me, what do you see...?】

【There, right?】The childhood Xu Han pointed to the moon.

On the screen, the special effects picture processed with light gradually zoomed in.

After excluding the interference items of countless stars.

Song Na saw it.

The clear, light yellow moon was the rabbit's round belly.

The dozen or so stars above and below the moon constituted its ears and feet.

The night sky was like a deep blue background, forming a blue and yellow rabbit with the light yellow moon.

Tell me, what do you see?

At this moment, Song Na's eyes were hot and her nose was sore.

Is that so?

The mystery of Xiao Xi's crazy folding of paper rabbits before she died?

She understood why Xiao Xi took out that paper rabbit to show Xu Han before she died.

What she hoped to hear was not the answer "paper rabbit".

She hoped that Xu Han would tell her

This is the moon!

She hoped that Xu Han would remember this night between the two of them.

Remember how the two met.

She remembered this night for a lifetime.

But Xu Han, because of his mother's reasons, took medicine that made him forget this memory.

This appointment between him and Xiao Xi... he broke it for a lifetime!

But soon, before Song Na could adjust her emotions, the most heart-wrenching line in this episode appeared immediately.

【What if you forget, or get lost?】Xiao Xi looked at Xu Han and asked.

The childhood Xu Han raised his head, looked at the huge light yellow moon in the sky, and pointed his finger at it.

【Then we will always meet on the moon. Silly.】

The TV remote control in Song Na's hand suddenly became unstable and fell.

Her eyes were filled with a strong sense of depression and sadness.

Understood.

This line connected all the foreshadowing from the first to the sixth episode of this drama.

Why Xu Han had no intention of going to the moon from middle school to old age, and only strongly wanted to go to the moon before he died.

Since it was a childhood desire, how could it skip middle age and only affect Xu Han's behavior in old age?

Because Xiao Xi had been with him during middle age.

But what about after Xiao Xi was gone?

What if she died before him?

He may have forgotten his childhood memories.

But only that childhood promise with Xiao Xi was engraved in the depths of his soul!

What if we two get lost?

【Then we will always meet on the moon, silly!】

At this moment, Song Na couldn't help but cry out loud, not just shed tears.

The true meaning of Xu Han's wish to go to the moon was to find Xiao Xi.

Thank you rexlipnew, super electromagnetic fireworks and light music for the reward. Thank you bosses!
