Shimmer Forest

The extremely cold palm almost froze her.But she didn't have any fear, as if she was about to go to her true home.

It began to snow heavily around her, and the overwhelming snowflakes almost drowned her.She looked up, and from the only gap in her line of sight, she saw snowflakes falling in every corner.She was in a world of ice and snow, bone-chillingly cold.

The black shadow hugged her from behind, and the black viscous liquid gradually spread, slowly enveloping Xiaoyu.

Her vision and memory were swallowed together, and she gradually forgot where she was, Su Jin, Wu Hao, and the shimmering forest.

In the end, he even forgot his own existence.

"This can't be done." A gentle male voice blew through the wind suddenly rang in his ears, Xiao Yu tried hard to open his eyes, and a few drops of muddy liquid dripped down, continuously blurring his vision.

The surroundings were still pitch black, and Su Jin was standing in front of her, smiling as gently as ever.

"It's really difficult, are you really being entangled by Eternal Darkness?" Su Jin scratched his head, but there was no trace of trouble on his face.Seeing that Xiao Yu was just staring at him in a daze, Su Jin knelt down and stroked her hair gently: "I'm sorry, I didn't realize it earlier."

Xiao Yu didn't know what he was sorry for, but the moment he heard these words, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.She buried her face in her knees, there was no emotion in her empty eyes, but tears still gushed out.

"Do you know, Xiaoyu." Su Jin withdrew her smile, squatted down in front of her, and said softly, "Eternal darkness lives deep in people's hearts, always waiting for an opportunity to devour people and bring them to that boundless world." Into the dark world."

"They themselves long for the light. It's just that they have been in the dark for too long, and they have forgotten what the light looks like, and gradually become hating everything."

Su Jin curled a faint smile at the corner of her lips, and continued: "It is lonely with you——no, just like us."

"We?" Xiaoyu's empty eyes flashed a little doubt, she repeated the word in a murmur, half understanding.

"Yes, let's think about it, the life in the forest, the life of the three of us together." Su Jin hugged her, closed her eyes gently, and let the black mud covered her body: "Even if it doesn't remember Yes, you will still remember, the look of 'Light'—"

Those whispered words seemed to have some kind of magical power, revealing the things she had forgotten bit by bit.

It was a sunny forest after the rain. The bright sunlight reflected the water droplets on the green leaves, and the whole forest seemed to be shining with light.The boy in the white shirt stood under the lush trees, his gentle smile was like dew, shining in the sun.

There are golden points of light rising from the darkness, one, two, three, more and more.These firefly-like lights floated up in the darkness and gathered together again.

The viscous liquid covering his body gradually melted away, and the shadow knelt on the spot, staring at the black world full of light.

"It's lonely alone." Su Jin hugged her slightly trembling body, her voice was extremely soft and gentle: "I understand. The loneliness and despair alone in the dark, and the loneliness of bearing everything alone. That's for us , too heavy."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go back to your original home, we will accompany you." Wu Hao's voice sounded behind him, extraordinarily solemn and serious, completely unable to match his usual cynical look.Wu Hao embraced the two of them from behind, with a smile on his lips unconsciously: "None of you are alone."

"So," Su Jin paused for a moment, his soft voice mixed with vague sighs: "Come back."

come back.

Xiaoyu has been countless times, longing to hear this sentence from a single person.At least, this shows that there are still people waiting for her and caring about her in that cold home that is no longer decent.It also proved that she was not alone.

She hugged Su Jin, closed her eyes, and let the tears wet her cheeks.The surrounding wind, snow and ice gradually dissipated, replaced by warm body temperature.

The shadow of the clay sculpture gradually turned into a spot of light, merged with those bright lights, and merged into a bright and flickering light cluster in mid-air, which suddenly bloomed again.

The dazzling light exploded, like the sun exploding, intense and scorching hot, as if it could melt people.

The light gradually drifted away towards the heights, and turned into a warm and dazzling sun hanging in the sky.

Xiao Yu threw herself into Su Jin's arms, crying in a dull voice: "Why did you come? Don't give me any more hope."

Su Jin put his chin on her hair and patted her on the back: "Xiao Yu, you will come back because you still have expectations for this world."

"I can't be the light you want. So, let yourself be the light. Let the light you want shine where you really want to go back."

His words penetrated into her heart like magic.Xiaoyu thought, she was probably too selfish, so she always hoped to get warmth from others, but never thought of making herself a warm existence.In fact, she didn't hate that home, and she wasn't afraid of those friendly and unfriendly guys in the other world, and she wasn't afraid of the dark.

What she is afraid of is seeing her lonely self again.

There was a faint fragrance in his arms, which made people feel at ease, and Xiao Yu gradually felt tired.Su Jin and Wu Hao comforted something in a low voice.The breeze was blowing, and the grass was churning with waves, covering up the pulsating heartbeat, making everything calm.

When he woke up again, he was in his bedroom.

The mother was sitting beside her, patted her, and hummed softly. When she saw her wake up, she smiled and pinched her face.

A large expanse of warm sunlight pours in from the open window, covering the small wooden bed.Dust danced in the light, and the tall poplar trees outside rustled in the breeze.

She got up and looked out the window, the street was full of traffic.I don't know when it started, the dry trees sprouted green new shoots, and the pink flowers bloomed brightly.People took off their heavy clothes and hurried through the catkins flying like snow.

Maybe that's how life is, she thought.You always think that you are still in the twelfth lunar month of winter when there is heavy snow, and you wear thick clothes to protect yourself because you are afraid of the cold.When I regained my senses, I realized that the spring has already bloomed.

Long after that, Xiao Yu had a dream.She dreamed that she was still painting on the green grass, Su Jin was absent-mindedly in front of the model, and Wu Hao was jumping around in the name of catching bugs like a mess.A portrait of Su Jin was drawn on the white paper of the drawing board. She tilted her head and swung the brush quickly, drawing from dawn to dusk.

When it was over, she handed the painting to Su Jin.There are two more people on the screen, one is Wu Hao and the other is her.Xiao Yu looked at Su Jin's puzzled look, smiled and said, "It's too lonely to be alone, so the three of us have to be together."

At that time, Su Jin's smile, she probably will never forget it for the rest of her life.

The rustling sound woke up the person who was sleeping on the bed.There was a regular knocking sound in his ears, Su Jin rubbed his eyes, and subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.Wu Hao was sitting beside him, carefully cutting the watermelon.Uncle Wu and Su Jingran sat under the table by the window, chatting quietly.

The sun was just right outside the house, he pushed open the window, and a ray of breeze mixed with the breath of sunshine rushed towards his face.Sunlight poured in and projected onto the framed, brightly colored yet slightly childish paintings on the wall.The three people in the painting are holding hands and walking on the green grass, with a large area of ​​sunshine behind them.

He turned his eyes back to the outside of the house. The old poplar tree at the door swayed gently in the wind, and the mountains and plains were full of rich green.The lush green covered the sky above the head, and only the mottled sunlight scattered down; the air was clean as if it had a sweet fragrance, and lingering in it were the cool breeze and the melodious chirping of cicadas.

Another summer has arrived.

The author has something to say: After writing on and off for so long, it is finally over.

Originally, I wanted to write more words, but now I really can't spare the energy.
