Gu Chen tattooed a five-pointed star on the inside of his left wrist, with the pinyin of "Xu" under the star.

In order to be consistent with him, Xu also tattooed a star on the same position on his right hand, and replaced the word "Xu" with the word "Gu".

Walking out of the dimly lit tattoo shop, Gu Chen's field of vision suddenly became brighter. Gu Chen raised his arm and looked at the tattoo just done, with a satisfied smile unconsciously showing on his face.

"Although the whole process was a bit difficult, the tattoos are really pretty." Gu Chen liked it more and more, and said happily, "Xing Lan will definitely yell exaggeratedly when he sees him, he is always making a fuss. "

Recalling Xu Xinglan's usual off-line behaviors, Xu Fang also smiled, "Do you want to know how the name Xu Xinglan came about?"

Gu Chen's eyes lit up, "Think."

"Let's talk while walking." Xu Fang took his hand and looked up at the sky. The faint sunlight sprinkled from the distant sky, exuding a little warmth in this winter afternoon, "The remaining stars are fading, the night is coming to an end, Xu Xinglan once accompanied me through a period of dark days. At that time, we always wondered, when will this long night end? When will we usher in our own dawn? Until Li Xin appeared, he let us see Dawn after dark."

"Li Xin?!"

"Well, he was the one who rescued us from the dire straits." Xu Fang pulled Gu Chen forward slowly towards the sun, "Li is the Li of Liming, and Xin is the Xin of Xinshu. It just so happens that my grandmother's surname is Li." , so Xu Xinglan named him Li Xin..."

……

When he was very young, Xu Fang realized that his body was different from ordinary people.

He had been treated indifferently by his mother for a long time, and was beaten again and again. While he was terrified, he also felt a powerful and terrifying force gradually awakening in his body.He didn't know the reason why this power existed, he only knew that every time he was beaten, the pain all over his body turned into intense hatred, eroding every nerve in him.He was angry, unwilling, wanted to resist, wanted revenge, but he was also very afraid, he was afraid that he would not be able to beat that alcoholic, he was afraid that his insignificant resistance would be exchanged for a more cruel punishment, he was really afraid, afraid of being beaten .

He lived like an ant tremblingly for three years, and domestic violence has always been like a shadow, like a lingering nightmare, gnawing at his flesh and blood and eroding his soul.

Just when he was about to be unbearable, another soul suddenly lived in his body.That soul shared the pain for him and accompanied him through the most difficult time.

He once had a dream.

He saw this person who had been with him in his dream.

The other party looks exactly like him, and looking at each other is like looking in a mirror.

He asked, who are you?

The man replied, I am you.

He was puzzled.

The man said again, I am you who still have a glimmer of hope for this world.

It was as if he heard a big joke.

Being beaten every day, where is there hope?

He laughed at himself and said, sooner or later, I will be beaten to death.

No, the man smiled and held out his hand.

Let's run away.

escape?

Yes, that man stands at the end of the night, with a light behind him, come on, come with me...

He woke up from the dream again, curled up in a warm embrace.

He opened his misty eyes and saw grandma's kind smiling face.

Grandma stroked his back and comforted him softly: My Xiaoyu, grandma is late, don't be afraid, grandma will take you away, we will go far away, and we will never come back...

Grandma took him to the countryside, where there is clear water, blue sky, and the fragrance of birds and flowers. Although he has never been in contact with people, he likes this place very much, because the people here are simple and kind, without any aggressiveness. Rolling in the green grass for a day, no need to worry about a wine bottle being hit on the head suddenly... He thought of the person in his dream, let's run away, let's run away... It seems that he has really escaped...

Those days of rolling around gave him a different kind of happiness. He thought he would stay in the country for the rest of his life, but before his injuries healed, his grandmother sent him to his biological father Xu Dingguo .

Xu Dingguo has a new family and a younger brother who is three years younger than him. From the first day he stepped into that family, he felt the strong hostility from his stepmother. Fortunately, Xu Dingguo was kind to him and she offered him education , give him a good life.Although they seldom communicate, he still hopes that he can get more care and attention from his relatives. He studied hard and got the first place in the exam, which can be regarded as a little reward for Xu Dingguo.However, his hard work brought a great sense of crisis to his stepmother.

He was squeezed out, insulted, locked in a dark room, and bullied all the time, as if he had just escaped from the dragon pool and fell into the tiger's den again.

He wanted to go back to the countryside to find his grandmother, but unexpectedly, the bad news came suddenly. The grandmother who loved him the most fell ill and passed away. It turned out that the grandmother knew that his life was not long, so she resisted the reluctance in her heart and returned him to Xu Dingguo.

He suddenly felt that it was impossible for his world to be bright again, and the darkness would completely accompany him forever.

He becomes pessimistic and negative.

Another Xu Zhengyu was born.

At the same time, that terrible force awakened again, and he was often irritable and angry for no reason.

He began to hate the depressed self, and he was eager to change the status quo. He hid in the dark and secretly exercised, venting his inner depression and unhappiness. He felt that there was still a person living in his body, a person who was angry corroded man...

That year, one month before his 14th birthday, his alcoholic stepfather found him. The other party was drunk and asked him for money. He looked like a down and out dog.

He suppressed the nausea surging in his throat, turned around and left, but he didn't expect that the drunkard picked up the bottle and slammed it on the back of his head. He was dripping with blood, and immediately fell to the ground, and the other party took advantage of the situation to ride on him He beat him hard, hard fists fell like raindrops, hitting his head all at once, and the warm blood wet his cheeks... When he was about to fall into a coma, he thought desperately that today he might be There was no escape, he couldn't escape from this person's clutches after all, he went around in a big circle, and he would still die under the opponent's fist.

But he is not reconciled.

This devil has already ruined his childhood, why should he take his life?

In an instant, anger came from his heart, and a strong desire for revenge swallowed his reason.

How the other party hit him, he will hit back!

He smiled sinisterly, a strange smile spread across his blood-stained face, like a ghost seeking his life.

What he did after that basically has no impression in his mind.He only vaguely remembered that he wrestled with that person like crazy, and then accidentally beat him to death during the fight.

……

He was under the age of fourteen, and he caused death through negligence. He is completely incapable of criminal responsibility. He does not need to bear criminal responsibility for any actions, including murder. He only needs to be strictly disciplined by his guardian.

At the end, he said to Gu Chen: "That day was the first time Li Xin showed up, maybe he felt that he had killed someone, so every time he came out, he always looked for people to fight everywhere, it seemed like a broken can, but it was actually a kind of cruel Punish, punish yourself with an absurd life, let yourself live in darkness forever, until you perish."

Gu Chen understood, Li Xin took all the sins on herself, thus giving everyone a chance to breathe.

He guarded them poor people with his fists and violence...

Suddenly, Gu Chen missed him very much, and wanted to see him very much.And Xu Fang seemed to have noticed something, and promised in a firm tone: "Don't worry, I will let them come out to see you."

I'll try to wake them up, I will!

……

That night, Xu Fang quietly called Xu Dingguo while Gu Chen was asleep.

He made up his mind to give up fusion therapy completely.

Xu Xinglan and Li Xin have helped him too much, he owes them, and he wants to pay it back.

There are many things that he didn't tell Gu Chen.

Xu Xinglan accepted hypnotherapy without telling him, and chose to sleep forever.

The other party also left a letter, which restored the truth about Li Xin's murder.

In fact, Li Xin didn't accidentally beat someone to death that day, but he thought he had killed someone, and he was frightened for a moment. He only felt endless fear flooding his brain, which made him have a splitting headache, and finally he passed out from the pain.

Xu Xinglan woke up immediately, seeing the person he hated the most lying in a pool of blood, a gleam of joy flashed through his heart.

The man called to him for help, begging him to lend a helping hand with a weaker voice.

And he watched with cold eyes, ruthlessly ignored it, and watched the other party swallow his last breath.

His heart was like stagnant water, without any waves.

At the end of the letter, he said to Li Xin:

Let go of your obsessions, you are not wrong.

We don't belong here, if we force ourselves to stay here, the only one who suffers in the end will be ourselves.

For this world, we are just extra people, just like a hurried traveler.

Since you can't stay, then go to other places to find a shelter.

Through the end of time, I am waiting for you in another world.

……

It is said that men don't flick their tears easily, because they haven't reached the place where they are sad.

After reading the letter, Xu Fang threw himself on the bed and cried all night covering the quilt.

He never cried easily, even if he was beaten and scolded, he couldn't hold back a single tear, but that day he cried so much that he couldn't help himself.

Full of sadness, no one to tell, as if crying is not enough.

He couldn't figure out the relationship between the few of them until he lost them. He suddenly realized that the three of them had become the most important part of his life without knowing it.

It is like the relationship between blood and flesh, inseparable.
