Backlight [Rebirth]

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two have been in the mountains for more than a week.

After these days of hard work, the repair work of the wooden house is nearing completion.

Today, the two came to the mountain early to carry out the final cleaning work.

Although the wooden house is almost built, there is really no time to make all kinds of furniture. After calculation, the swing outside the door is probably the only furniture.

The two tidied up and looked at the brand-new cabin, feeling a sense of accomplishment spontaneously.

For Bai Yilan, this was an unforgettable experience. She lived in the barren mountains for a week and even built a wooden house. Now that she thinks about it, she still finds it a little unbelievable. She has never experienced this before, even A life unimagined.

The two have been busy in the evening.

Standing outside the wooden house, looking at the results of these days, the two couldn't help but smile at each other.

Gu Xinran stepped forward, and slowly closed the door, with a bang, it was as sacred as sealing a treasure.

This is the memory shared by her and Yi Lan in this world. She wants to seal up this memory together with this wooden house. Even if it is only a few days, it is still very precious.

The two returned to the hotel, and went back to their rooms to pack their luggage.

Looking at the street lights outside the window, Bai Yilan suddenly didn't want to leave, and wanted to live here forever.

Don't be bound by the floating world, indulge in the mountains and rivers, be free and easy, do whatever you want, and don't care about anyone, let alone worry about being gossip. This kind of life is really too easy.

……

The next morning, Gu Xinran packed up, carried the suitcase, and went outside the house.

The fog in the mountains was very heavy in the early morning, and it was a little bit cool. She moved her body, sobered up, and stared at the high mountains not far away.

Today is the ninth day.

In the past few days, she and Yi Lan have been tacitly avoiding everything from the outside world, and have not mentioned the ten-day agreement, but as the date approaches, a deep sorrow of parting lingers in her heart.

This place allows them to isolate themselves from the world and put aside all their troubles and worries, but in the end, they still have to return to reality and face their own lives.

"Morning." Yi Lan's voice sounded from behind.

Gu Xinran looked back at her, "Morning."

"Let's go."

The two of them were pulling their suitcases and walking on a country road when they suddenly heard a noise. Following the sound, they saw a few children chasing and playing.

The two watched in tacit understanding for a while, and when they were about to turn around and leave, Gu Xinran suddenly realized that something was wrong. The girl who was running in front fell down, but got up in a hurry and continued to run, while the children who were chasing behind Seeing her fall, she was still laughing.

The two looked at each other, feeling strange.

Gu Xinran walked over and saw the child running to her side, reaching out to grab her, the girl was in a panic trying to break free, and punched and kicked her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

Bai Yilan also stepped forward, blocking the way of the group of children.

"Why are you bullying her?"

"She is a bad child, a broom star, her parents don't want her anymore!"

Bai Yilan was startled, this child was only seven or eight years old, how could he say such a thing?

The little girl who was embraced by Xin Ran was trembling with fear, her big eyes were tearful, and she desperately wanted to push Xin Ran away.

Gu Xinran patted the child's shoulder to comfort her, and when she saw the child's face, her heart tightened.

There was a red birthmark on the cheekbone on the right cheek of this child, which looked hideous and terrifying. Perhaps this was the reason why these children bullied her.

Gu Xinran was slightly moved, her heart suddenly seemed to be crushed by a big rock, it was extremely uncomfortable, and she was also deeply touched by the girl's situation.

"You only bullied her because of this birthmark, because she is ugly, and because she is an outlier compared to you." Gu Xinran turned to look at the group of half-grown children.

The four children looked at each other, "I want you to take care of it!"

Gu Xinran squatted down, hugged the little girl in her arms, and looked at her face. The little girl didn't dare to look at her, so she stroked her head, "Look at me."

The girl looked at her timidly, raising her hand to cover her face.

"Don't cry. Listen, it's not your fault that you have this birthmark, and it's not your fault that they judge people by their appearance. But if you compromise with fate and let them bully you, then you will never be able to stand up in this life. Except you No one can help you by yourself."

Looking at the little girl's face, Gu Xinran seemed to see the figure of the girl in her dream from her body.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yilan unconsciously glanced at her wrist.

……

In the car, the two of them agreed without speaking.

Bai Yilan turned her head to look at her, her expression was solemn, her brows were tightly furrowed, since she saw the little girl just now, she has always been preoccupied.

"Thinking about that kid?"

"We can't help her. Even if we can take her away and keep her away from this place of right and wrong, but if she can't stand up by herself, then for her, there is right and wrong everywhere." Bai Yilan comforted softly .

Gu Xinran shook her head, slowed down the car, and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"what happened?"

"Just now, when I looked at that child, I seemed to see me when I was a child."

"Ok?"

"Have I ever told you about my childhood?"

"No." Bai Yilan shook her head, acquiescing to the fact that she referred to her body as 'I'.

"And do you know what kind of family I have?"

"You never said that you told me this. When you mentioned your family, you were very resistant, so I won't ask any more."

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Gu Xinran was silent, she had a bold guess.

……

In the afternoon, the two returned to Xiyuan City.

Suddenly returning from the peaceful mountains and fields to the noisy city, seeing the endless traffic of vehicles and pedestrians, the two of them were still a little uncomfortable.

"How do you plan to spend your last day?" Bai Yilan asked.

"Listen to you."

"Well, then go somewhere with me."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow." Gu Xinran parked the car and glanced at her.

"Have a good rest, good night."

"OK, good night."

Gu Xinran watched her go upstairs before driving away.

Gu Xinran returned home, took a shower, and then went to sleep. She didn't turn on her phone, and didn't tell anyone that she was back. She didn't want to be disturbed by work these days.

……

the next day.

Under Yi Lan's instruction, Gu Xinran only went to pick her up in the evening.

The two came to Jiangwan Center, which is a landmark building in Xiyuan, a man-made lake landscape, and there are people rafting on the lake.

At night, the surrounding shops are hung with various styles of neon lights, the streets are full of lights, and there are shops playing various little love songs. Both the scenery and the atmosphere are very good.

There is a fountain landscape in the central square. In the summer evening, many young couples will come here for a date, to enjoy the scenery, the moon, and the beauties.

The two got out of the car, and Bai Yilan took her for a leisurely walk by the lake.

Gu Xinran took a deep breath. He felt the breath of nature in the mountains a few days ago, and it is so pleasant to come here today to enjoy the sea breeze.

"This is the place where she and I had our first date." Bai Yilan smiled faintly.

Gu Xinran glanced at her, no wonder she let him accompany her here.

"At that time, the two of us didn't understand anything. When we saw other couples coming here, we also sneaked here. The first date, with no experience, just sat here and peeked at what other couples were doing."

"When they hold hands, we hold hands too. When they kiss, we kiss too." Bai Yilan looked nostalgic.

"Kiss on the first date?" Gu Xinran was a little surprised, the speed was too fast!

"Ah."

Seeing the little pride on her face, Gu Xinran smiled. It was quite interesting to hear her talk like that.

"and then?"

"Later, every time she made me angry, she would take me here to eat some snacks, look at the scenery, and then apologize and give me a kiss as an apology. Every time I told myself that I could no longer pamper her , but later, it was really fragrant."

Bai Yilan stopped slowly, turned around and looked at her.

"You close your eyes."

"Huh?" Gu Xinran was stunned for a moment, then obediently closed her eyes.

There was the sound of the sea breeze blowing by, accompanied by a trace of damp breath. Gu Xinran was waiting patiently, when suddenly a familiar fragrance filled his nose, and then, he felt a black shadow slowly approaching in front of him.

When Gu Xinran frowned, she felt something soft and soft on her forehead, and she was startled!I dare not open my eyes!

Carefully feeling the warm touch, she was sure that it was Yi Lan who was kissing herself!

After a while, Bai Yilan took half a step back.

Gu Xinran slowly opened her eyes, and met Yi Lan's bright eyes.

"You..." Gu Xinran raised her hand, stroked her forehead, and looked at Yi Lan's tender lips.

Bai Yilan hooked the corners of her lips at her.

"I want a cone."

"Eh?" Gu Xinran was taken aback, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the snack street.

"I'll buy it for you, are you waiting for me here?"

"Ah."

Gu Xinran smiled, turned around and left, even her steps became much lighter.

Not long after, Gu Xinran came back with two cones, but she didn't see Yi Lan's figure in the distance.

She slowed down, walked to the place where the two were standing just now, and looked around, the young lovers were still flirting with each other, nothing changed, except Yi Lan was gone.

Gu Xinran held two cones and stood there quietly.

Until the cone in your hand melts slowly.

"Sister." A little girl playing with a scooter ran over and called her.

"Ok?"

"A very beautiful big sister asked me to give this to you just now!" The little girl held up a piece of paper and looked eagerly at the cone in her hand.

She replaced the paper with a cone, opened it and took a look.

[Xin Ran, happy birthday.

This year's birthday is a new beginning for you and me.

Thank you for your company, let me know that life can be so beautiful.

I promise you that I will face life positively.

I hope you, too, take good care of yourself.

Elan. 】

Gu Xinran had a sore nose, and a piece of music rang in her ears.

"I want to use the wings of an angel to catch the rainbow in the clouds, but it always dissipates when I touch it. The illusion is forever, but in fact there is nothing..."

"A fairy tale says that there will be a rainbow after the rain, but it never said that it will disappear in an instant. I want to hold the splendor tightly in my hand, but suddenly realize that you are gone..."

Gu Xinran raised her head and looked at the direction the music was coming from. As soon as the song played, her tears fell directly.

Taking a few deep breaths, but still unable to calm down, he folded the piece of paper, held it tightly, looked up at the sky blankly, and let the tears fall.

She sat here until midnight, and she didn't get up slowly until the young lovers had dispersed and the lively square was empty and there was no one there.

Back in the car, looking at the co-pilot's seat, she saw that Yi Lan seemed to be sitting next to her in a trance, she reached out to touch it, but was in vain.

He sighed deeply, put his hands on the steering wheel, and stared blankly.

After a while, she pulled herself together, took out the note that Yi Lan wrote to her, read it again and again, and finally smiled, "Okay, I will take good care of myself."

She said softly, lowered her head and kissed the piece of paper lightly, her eyes were extremely gentle.

The author has something to say: there is a second watch, it’s a bit late, it’s not to make up for the second watch, it’s just that this chapter just ends here and it’s more appropriate

The lyrics of the last song are from "Rainbow Between".
