Backlight [Rebirth]

At the birthday party.

Xiao Ye held a glass of cocktail and stood on the window sill looking out.

The sun was setting and the sky was gradually darkening.

Lin Yuqing still didn't come.

All relatives, friends, and elders who watched Xiao Ye grow up were present, but Lin Yuqing was absent from her coming-of-age ceremony.

"What's the matter with Xiao Qing?" Bai Yilan stood at the door and looked at Xiao Ye. For a long time, the little guy remained motionless, staring blankly out of the window, which made her uncomfortable.

"I don't know either. As soon as I asked her about it, she changed the subject with me." Gu Xinran frowned, with a displeased expression on her face.

"Xiaoye, everyone is waiting for you to cut the cake." Bai Yilan walked to Xiaoye's side and gently stroked her shoulder.

Xiao Ye turned his head to look at her, his bright eyes were full of disappointment, but he nodded cooperatively and squeezed out a smile.

The three of them came to the living room, and Xiao Ye thanked the guests one by one with a glass of wine, thanking them for coming to celebrate his birthday.

"Xiao Ye, make a wish!"

"Okay." Xiao Ye nodded, walked to the cake, looked at the little princess standing in the middle of the cake, clasped his hands, and closed his eyes.

[I hope my grandmother, mother-in-law, and the two mothers are in good health, safe and successful; I hope that all those who care about me and love me will be able to do everything well and their wishes come true; I hope... I hope Aunt Lin can be happy every day]

Not long after, Xiao Ye opened his eyes, blew out the candles on the cake, and smiled at everyone.

……

At night, Bai Yilan was lying on the bed, still feeling upset, "Didn't you ask Xiaoqing why she didn't come today?"

"I asked, but I just said I'm busy." Gu Xinran was also completely sleepless, leaning on her arms and looking at the ceiling.

"What do you think she thinks?"

Gu Xinran was silent for a while. Based on her understanding of Lin Yuqing, everything she did would put Xiaoye first, and there was really no reason to treat Xiaoye like this.

After all, it's a coming-of-age ceremony, so you should show your face, even send a birthday greeting.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a scream, followed by the sound of something crackling and falling to the ground. The two were startled and looked at each other.

"Xiao Ye!"

Gu Xinran let out an exclamation, almost jumped up from the bed, went straight to Xiao Ye's bedroom without any shoes on, opened the door and went in, and saw Xiao Ye sitting on the ground, sweating profusely, panting heavily.

"Xiao Ye? What's the matter?" Gu Xinran hurried over and carried the little guy back to the bed.

Bai Yilan went to the bathroom and brought a towel to wipe the sweat off her face, "Xiao Ye? What happened?"

Gu Xinran took a closer look at the little guy's appearance, his eyes were empty, obviously frightened, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Xiao Ye took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, looked up at the two of them, shook his head, "It's okay."

The two looked at each other, worried to death.

"Mummy, stay with me for a while." Xiao Ye lay down on his side, grabbing the corner of Bai Yilan's clothes.

"Okay, stay with you, Mommy will sleep with you today." Bai Yilan kneaded Xiao Ye's temples, and Gu Xinran patted the little guy gently, like coaxing a young child, "Sleep, Mommy pats, When you were a child, you liked your mother patting you to sleep."

"I'm not a child anymore..." Xiao Ye muttered in a low voice.

"You're not a child, so you don't dare to sleep alone?"

"hate~"

"Okay, you are not allowed to bully my daughter." Bai Yilan warned.

"Humph~"

……

This Monday, Gu Xinran woke up early to send Xiaoye to school, watched her enter the school gate, and then went to the film and television city. She thought that the child would save some time when she was older, but she was even more worried.

When I was a child, I would take the initiative to share anything with my mother. Gu Xinran could see what was on my mind. Now that I am older, I can hide my mind. I don’t talk about secrets or troubles. They all held back in their hearts and refused to speak out.

Since having a nightmare the night before yesterday, the little guy's condition is obviously not right, she has been in a daze for the past two days, and she doesn't know what she is thinking, but there is one thing Gu Xinran is very sure of, it must have something to do with Lin Yuqing!

Thinking of this, Gu Xinran directly called Lin Yuqing.

"Hello? Sister Ran, what's the matter?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me? Why didn't you come to Xiaoye's birthday party the day before yesterday? Don't say you don't know, and don't tell me that you are busy. Xiaoye hasn't slept well these days. I have been thinking why you suddenly ignored her , I want a reasonable explanation."

The other side was silent.

"Talk to me! Or do you want me to go to you and make it clear in person?"

"Forest……"

"I'm 16 years older than her." Lin Yuqing said.

Gu Xinran frowned.

"Although we had a sweet time in the previous life, after my death, she was alone..."

Gu Xinran closed her eyes, took a deep breath, "So you're running away now, right?"

"She could have had better options."

Gu Xinran was so angry that she hung up the phone directly. She always believed that as long as two people love each other, nothing can be a hindrance. Extraordinarily precious, people cherish it!

But this Lin Yuqing is now willing to give up the happy time they should have had because of fear of parting!

How can we not make people angry!

……

In the evening, when Gu Xinran returned home, she was still angry.

"What's the matter, this face is ugly enough, who made you angry?" Ye Nan asked.

"No, it's nothing." Gu Xinran's expression softened slightly.

Just as they were about to have dinner, Gu Xinran's cell phone rang suddenly.

Gu Xinran glanced at the caller ID, frowned, and quickly picked it up. Halfway through the call, she glanced at a few people, got up and walked back to the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Ye Nan was puzzled.

"Mom, you eat first, I'll go and see what's going on." Yi Lan put down her chopsticks and went back to the bedroom. She saw the caller ID on the caller ID just now, and it was Xiao Ye's instructor calling.

"Okay, I see. I'll call my friend and ask. Please, Director Liu, help me find it at school."

When Bai Yilan walked in, she just heard this sentence.

"What happened?"

Gu Xinran hung up the phone in a hurry, "When the supervisor checked the dormitory just now, she was not there, and she didn't go to class all day! But I sent her to school in the morning, and I watched her enter the school helplessly! "

Gu Xinran was a little flustered, and quickly searched through the address book, calling Qu Qi, Fang Yi, Su Yu and others one by one to inquire.

Bai Yilan called Xiaoye, but no one answered the phone, and sent her many messages on WeChat, but there was no reply at all.

Bai Yilan hugged the phone, her calves felt weak, and a lot of bad developments came to her mind in an instant, and her eyes almost went dark.

"Hey Yilan, don't worry, call Lin Yuqing and ask if Xiaoye has gone to look for her."

"Okay." Bai Yilan dialed Lin Yuqing's phone with trembling hands.

"Hey Xiaoqing, did Xiaoye look for you?"

"What? No, what's wrong with Xiaoye?"

Bai Yilan took a deep breath, "If she finds you, you must tell me immediately!"

"What's the matter? Xiaoye...is missing?"

After Bai Yilan roughly said, the other side fell silent.

"Xiaoqing?"

"I'll go back now."

Gu Xinran kneaded her forehead, thinking about where Xiao Ye might go, "Don't worry, Xiao Ye is no longer a child, and Fang Yi taught her Taekwondo since she was a child, she still has the ability to protect herself, I guess it's me He ran out to play and dare not tell us." Gu Xinran comforted Yi Lan.

"I'll check around the school. You stay at home, keep calling and wait for my news."

"I'll go with you." Bai Yilan didn't wait for her to respond, and immediately changed into her clothes, "Hurry up!"

Gu Xinran didn't bother anymore, the two of them changed their clothes and went out.

The two of them searched several times along the way to school, but there was no one there, "This is a dark person, and Xiao is so afraid of the dark, where can she go alone?" Bai Yilan was about to cry.

Gu Xinran kept silent, parked the car aside, rubbed her temples, and thought carefully about her state when she sent Xiao Ye away in the morning.

"Credit card!" Bai Yilan said suddenly.

"what?"

"Check if the credit card has any consumption records!"

Gu Xin was stunned, and quickly checked the consumption records.

"Yes, there is a consumption record in the afternoon, and I ordered a train ticket online!" Gu Xinran immediately sent the tracking number to Fang Yi, asking her to check it quickly.

Not long after, Fang Yi's message came.

When Gu Xinran saw those three words, his heart that had just been relaxed lifted up again.

"Koma Mountain? Where did Xiaoye go? That place is a gathering place of ethnic minorities, mixed with fish and dragons, why is she going there as a girl!" Bai Yilan almost lost sight of it.

"I don't know, let's go there first." Gu Xinran immediately started the car.

……

When the few people arrived at Koma Mountain, the sky was already dark, and the two looked tired and not in a good condition.

The two came to the farmhouse where they stayed last time, and the proprietress still remembered them, so they immediately asked the proprietress about Xiaoye's whereabouts, and showed her the photo of Xiaoye.

"Eh? I've seen this doll before. I stayed here for a night yesterday and just went up the mountain in the morning."

"Really!" Yi Lan's eyes lit up, and most of the fatigue on her face dissipated in an instant.

"It's her, it's her. Just left, you guys chase now, and you will catch up in a while."

The two looked at each other, not daring to relax, thanked the proprietress and prepared to go up the mountain.

There was a piercing sound of brakes, and the two of them looked back, Gu Xinran's face darkened.

Lin Yuqing got off the car and went straight to the two of them, "Did you find him?"

"How did she come here?"

"I don't know, but the proprietress said that she was sure to see her, but she just went up the mountain." Yi Lan took a look at Xinran, and quickly walked two steps to catch up with her. She didn't even look at Lin Yuqing, turned around and went Walking up the mountain made Yi Lan a little puzzled.

Lin Yuqing followed closely after hearing the words.

The three of them walked quickly up the mountain. Luckily, Gu Xinran was quite familiar with the way up the mountain. Not long after, they saw the cabin from a distance. Only then did he let out a long breath of relief.

Gu Xinran's legs went limp, and she leaned against the tree trunk and sat on the ground. Lin Yuqing came over to help her, but was thrown away by her.

Bai Yilan stroked her heart, calmed down for a while, and then walked over.

She stood behind Xiaoye and looked at Xiaoye's back. The little guy was staring at the small wooden house fascinated, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Xiao Ye? What are you doing here alone? Do you know that Mommy is very worried about you?" Bai Yilan's tone was serious.

Xiao also didn't respond at all.

"Xiaoye?" Bai Yilan frowned, and looked back at Xinran, "Xiaoye?"

"Xiao Ye? What's wrong?"

"Xiao Ye, it's me, I'm sorry, I shouldn't neglect you."

"So it's true..." Xiao Ye murmured.

"What?" The three looked at each other, puzzled.

Xiao Ye turned around slowly, instead of looking at Lin Yuqing, he looked at Bai Yilan, with tears in his eyes, his expression was very complicated, and Bai Yilan was also at a loss.

"Little one?"

"Mom, Mommy?" Xiao Ye called her softly as if he couldn't believe it.

"It's me, I'm here, baby? What's wrong with you?"

"Mummy, I miss you so much." Xiao Ye hugged Bai Yilan's neck tightly, buried his face in her neck, and told how he missed her.

"Miss me? Miss me and run away from home? Is that why you miss me? Gu Baiye?"

"No, no, I was wrong..." Xiao Ye shook his head, rubbing her lightly, coquettishly.

Bai Yilan must have lied when she said she wasn't angry, but if she was really angry, she really couldn't get angry anymore, she lost her temper after being teased by Xiao Ye, "I'll deal with you when I go home!"

……

In the car, Xiao Ye held Yi Lan's hand tightly, unwilling to let go for a moment.

Yi Lan glanced sideways at the little guy, but couldn't figure out why she was so clingy to herself all of a sudden.

"Xiao Ye, why did you come to this place?"

"I saw it in a dream, and I wanted to see if such a place really existed." Xiao Ye closed his eyes and spoke softly.

Gu Xinran frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it was strange.

When they returned home, as soon as they entered the house, they saw Ye Nan and Shi Qing fully dressed and ready to go out.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Looking for you! Hey, you're back? Where did you go this night?" Ye Nan asked dissatisfied.

"Uh……"

"Grandma?" Xiao Ye suddenly walked up to Shi Qing and looked at her carefully.

"?" Shi Qing was startled, and raised his hand to touch Xiao Ye's forehead.

"Grandma!" Xiao Ye hugged Shi Qing's neck and gave her a big bear hug.

Although Shi Qing was dumbfounded, it felt good to be hugged by his granddaughter, "What's the matter, you little thing, why are you acting like a baby again?"

Xiao Ye shook his head, "I just feel so happy~"

Shi Qing smiled lightly.

……

In the courtyard, Lin Yuqing stood alone in the courtyard, staring at the rockery in a daze.

"Aunt Lin?" Xiao Ye came behind her and called her.

Lin Yuqing glanced at her sideways, but did not respond.

"Didn't you say you shouldn't neglect me when you were in the mountains? Why did you start again as soon as you came back?"

"Xiao Ye, I don't want to neglect you, but..."

"But you're 16 years older than me, aren't you?"

Lin Yuqing looked back at her, "Yes." Her eyes were firm.

Xiao Ye looked into her eyes and slowly walked in front of her, "If I say I don't mind."

"I mind." After Lin Yuqing finished speaking, she turned around and left without any remembrance, very free and easy.

Xiao Ye stared at her back for a while, then said slowly, "Lin Baiyin."

Lin Yuqing stopped abruptly, then turned around and looked at her, "You...what did you say?"

Lin Baiyin is their daughter!

The corner of Xiao Ye's lips raised, and he swayed in front of her with his arms folded, and walked out with steps that his relatives did not recognize, "Do you think you can still get rid of me?"

He arched his nose angrily, "In this life, in the next life, and every life after life, I will stick to you."

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Lin Yuqing chuckled, with tears in her eyes, she opened her arms and hugged the little guy tightly.

……

It was the first snow since the beginning of winter. Early in the morning, the little guy begged Gu Xinran to take her to the crew to visit the set. Gu Xinran couldn't resist her, so she immediately agreed. The mother and daughter simply finished breakfast and set off .

Along the way, the little guy almost had the word "happy" printed on his forehead, looking around, wanting to see everything.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xinran also showed an old mother's smile.

Not long after, the two came to the set and saw Lin Yuqing filming outdoors at -[-] or [-] degrees below zero, wearing a thin shirt, not to mention feeling distressed.

Following the director's click, Fang Yi hadn't passed yet, Xiao Ye was the first to rush over, hugged Lin Yuqing tightly with his down jacket, and helped her warm up.

"Why are you here?" As soon as Lin Yuqing saw Xiao Ye, his eyes were filled with soft light, and the staff next to him looked stupid.

"Come to visit the class." Xiao Ye took out a cup of hot milk tea from the paper bag and stuck it on Lin Yuqing's face.

Lin Yuqing smiled.

The little guy pulled his scarf away again and put it around the necks of the two of them.

"Is it warm?"

"Yeah." Lin Yuqing nodded and took a sip of milk tea, "It's very warm and sweet."

"But if Aunt Fang sees it, she will scold me again." Lin Yuqing glanced behind Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye smiled, "Don't be afraid, mom is here, take a few more sips?"

"Good~"

"Sister Ran? You don't care about this?" Fang Yi pointed at the two of them. It's broad daylight, and they are too shy! !

"Oh, it's okay, I just drank a cup of milk tea, so there's no need to make a fuss." Gu Xinran said.

"???" Fang Yi looked confused, what am I talking about?

"It's so sweet."

Xiao Ye's big eyes rolled around, and he pulled up the scarf, covering the part below the noses of the two of them.

"Is it sweet or am I sweet?" asked with a smile.

Lin Yuqing smiled, glanced at Xinran, secretly lowered her head, and lightly bit Xiaoye's tender lips.

"You are sweeter."

"Bah~ I hate~"

Lin Yuqing smiled and pulled the little guy's cold paws hidden behind her back into her arms, rubbed them for her, and put them on her heart to warm them up.

She looked at Xiao Ye's red fingertips, and gently blew hot air into her palm.

Little guy, in this life, let me take care of you.

The author has something to say: Although I am very reluctant, I still have to say goodbye. Thank you for your company and witness. This big family will live happily in this world forever!

Goodbye does not mean the end, but a new beginning, and I look forward to meeting you in the next text world.
