I wish you two lifetimes

When she looked up again from the thick stack of documents, the hour hand had already pointed to "nine". She stretched her waist, rubbed her temples and eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

There are a lot of materials, which cannot be sorted out in a day or two. She divided up the materials she had sorted out and placed them neatly on the corner of the table, and then put another pile of materials into her backpack.

Suddenly there was the sound of the door opening. She looked up and saw a man in his forties pushing the door in. The man was a little surprised to see that there was still someone there.

"Little Gu, haven't you gone back yet?" He looked at the piles of documents on the table, smiled, and understood.

"Director Liu." Gu Yanran stood up and greeted Liu Wei'an, "I'm still preparing some materials, and I'm going back now."

Liu Wei'an is her university tutor, and he has been cultivating her with great care. In his spare time, Gu Yanran will come to her studio to help with some research.

"Hey, young people are motivated, but don't worry too much, don't rush the information, it's still important for your health." He walked over and took a copy from his desk and put it in his briefcase, "Let's go, send You go back."

"No need, Director Liu, I'll just go back by myself. I have other things to do, so I won't disturb you." Gu Yanran hurriedly packed his things and passed by him, bowed slightly, opened the door and left.

Liu Wei'an looked at her receding back, shook his head and sighed, "Sometimes this temper is exactly like your father's, stubborn."

When I walked out of the studio, I found that it was raining lightly, dimming the street lamps in the distance. Looking at the busy traffic in the distance, I felt a sense of loss.

She didn't eat dinner and was a little hungry. The small supermarket not far away was still lit. She didn't bring an umbrella, so she could only cover her head with her hands and trot over in the rain.

There were not many people in the store, and they were all choosing things on the shelves. Gu Yanran pushed open the glass door, and the clerk inside approached enthusiastically and asked, "Do you want to buy something...?" After seeing Gu Yan clearly, he was frightened In general, he took a few steps back and frowned.

Of course Gu Yanran knew what was going on, she ran her right hand through her wet short hair, the hair covered her right face, and walked to the shelf without saying a word.

Even with his back to the door, Gu Yanran could still hear the clerk running aside and whispering to someone, "Look, that woman's face..."

"Hush—" another person lowered his voice, "she can hear it."

"How come, it's all said so lightly."

Gu Yanran smiled, and began to choose the bread on the shelf, whether to buy meat floss or seaweed... Alas, Gu Yanran was torn.

She looked up to the outside of the store, and countless water droplets fell from the large translucent glass, merged with the water droplets below, and continued to slide down faster.

Against the gray and black exterior of the glass, there is a figure of a short-haired girl. There is a terrible scar on the right cheek. The new skin and dead flesh are uneven, as if covered with worms. The woman in the glass touched it. On the right side of his face, he sighed silently.

It was a large burn scar, a scar that had ruined her face and almost ruined her eyes.

She chose a piece of meat floss bread at random, and walked to the cashier to pay. Standing in front of her was a mother and daughter. The girl stood beside her mother and looked around. She turned her head and saw Gu Yanran's face, as if frightened. The rabbit desperately hid in her mother's arms, "Mom, I'm afraid..."

The mother turned her head to see what was going on, and when she saw Gu Yan, she walked forward in disgust like a plague god, and urged the shop assistant, "Hurry up!"

Gu Yanran silently turned his face away and didn't say anything. After the mother and daughter left, he handed the bread to the cashier. The cashier didn't want her to stay for another minute, so he quickly collected the money and gave change.

"Thank you," Gu Yanran took the change, pushed open the glass door amidst the impatience and disgust of others and left.

This has been the case for the past three years. When everyone sees her and walks around, pointing fingers, they will feel wronged and sad at first, but after a long time, they now feel that there is nothing wrong with her.People live for themselves and always care about what others do.

The rain had stopped, Gu Yanran walked quickly towards home.

The location of the house is relatively good, and there are many lights and shadows along the way, so a person doesn't look gloomy and lonely.

This house was bought by her family three years ago when she finished her college entrance examination and was about to go to university. She didn't like to be crowded with other people in a dormitory of less than [-] square meters, and she didn't like her private space being stopped by others, so she resolutely I choose to live off-campus, and it’s not a big problem even if I come home late.

This is a small row house surrounded by manicured lawns, each building has two units above and below, but this one is now only lived by her, and the upstairs is still empty, sometimes giving people a chilling feeling.

The sound of the combination lock being unlocked sounded, Gu Yanran pushed open the door, took off his shoes at the entrance, walked to the sofa and fell straight on the sofa, a sore back hit his back, hey, I am really tired after working so long every day.

She turned her head and looked at the porcelain vases on the coffee table. It was a porcelain vase from the late Qing Dynasty that she bought a few days ago. The value was not very high, but the pattern on the body of the vase made her fall in love at first sight, so she bought it without hesitation.

The flowers in the porcelain vase were listless, so she stood up, picked up the porcelain vase, and changed the water for the flowers inside.

If someone sees her using cultural relics from the late Qing Dynasty as a vase, she must say that she is reckless. She smiled, put the porcelain vase back, turned on the TV, took out the bread she just bought, and ate while watching.

Scenes were played out on the TV, but her eyes were out of focus, and her thoughts were drifting to nowhere.

She turned off the TV, did not turn on the lights, and sat quietly on the sofa alone. For a long time, she has always felt alone, and loneliness has become a habit.

She closed her eyes, listening to the cold wind howling outside, and the sound of even breathing came after a long time.

When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside. Looking at the time, it was only 06:30, and Gu Yanran couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hair and take a shower.

I hurriedly made breakfast by myself, filled my stomach, and prepared to go out.

When I picked up the bag, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't read the materials I brought back yesterday, and my intestines were green with regret. Today's workload will increase again.

Director Liu's studio is located in a deep alley. You can't find it unless you look carefully, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is something strange inside.

Today is a little different from the silence of the past. There are five or six cars parked outside the alley, and there is no one in the car.

He must have come to find Director Liu, Yan Ran thought, picked up his bag, and walked into the alley.

The studio was still as busy as ever, but it felt like everyone was hiding eagerness and excitement.

A person next to him hurried past, saw her, and turned back, "Why did you come so early today? Director Liu said that you can come later today."

This is one of the few people Yan Ran can talk to in the studio - Fang Nuo, a senior who is a year older than her, and a student of Director Liu.

"I woke up early, I wanted to come here early because I had nothing to do." Yan Ran smiled at her friendlyly, saw the door of the meeting room was closed, and asked, "What's the matter today, there are so many cars outside?"

"I don't know. A large group of people came just now. They seemed to be sent by the superiors. I didn't listen carefully to what they said. Now Director Liu and them are in the conference room." She approached Yan Ran and said stealthily, " I think it's a good thing."

"Which time did you say it was accurate?" Yan Ran smiled lightly, and suddenly thought of something, walked quickly to the table, found the materials that were sorted out yesterday, and handed them to her, "All the materials are ready."

Fang Nuo took it, looked at the thick stack of materials in his hand, and said in disbelief, "Yan Ran, are you a god? It was done in two days. I thought it would take two weeks at the earliest. Now we can make a difference." I love you to death, Yan Ran, thank you, I will treat you tonight and have a big meal."

Just as Yan Ran was about to push back, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened, and a few middle-aged men in suits came out first.

Director Liu followed closely, and shook hands with them again, "Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for this matter, and it will be perfect."

"Old Liu said that, so we can rest assured. You have so many outstanding and capable students, and we welcome them to join us." The only white-haired old man next to him was radiant, holding Liu guide hand.

"It's even better to have such an opportunity for students to practice. Tell Director Yang that he will definitely give him a satisfactory answer." Director Liu smiled and sent several people out of the studio for a while before returning.

During this period, a pot exploded in the studio, and several people nearby were discussing non-stop.

"What's the matter? Director Liu attaches so much importance to it."

"How do I know? Director Liu will find out if he comes and asks."

When Liu Wei'an came in, he was all smiles, but mixed with a bit of sadness.

It immediately quieted down inside.

"People from the No. 1 team will follow me tomorrow. A large-scale ancient tomb has been discovered in Nanjing. The identity of the owner of the tomb has not been confirmed. We will do research there for a few days. This time is also a good opportunity, everyone should take advantage of it." Director Liu Seeing the excitement on the face of a person who was named, he seemed to think of something, "By the way, Xiao Gu, you also go together."

Yan Ran nodded.

Hearing that Yanran's name was also called, he started whispering:

"It's only been a few days, so it's such a good treatment."

"Who knows, it's related."

Although the voice was very soft, but not a word fell into her ears.

"Little Gu, come with me." Director Liu turned and walked towards his office, Yan Ran followed closely, and the discussion behind him became louder.

In the office, Director Liu glanced at her, "If you go, the progress will be much faster. Don't care what other people say, don't take it to heart. Children of this age will inevitably have their own ideas."

"I know, I never took it to heart."

"Your father told me that you haven't been back for a long time, so take this opportunity to go back and see him."

Yan Ran stood there without saying a word, and Director Liu was too embarrassed to say anything more, some things can be left to the end, after all, this is his family's business.

"Director Liu, if it's okay, I'll go out first."

"Okay, let's go out, I will inform you about the time arrangement later."

She walked out of the office, and Fang Nuo was waiting outside.

"Why, what did Director Liu say?"

"It's nothing, just let me prepare myself."

"Oh." Fang Nuo nodded, "You go back and tidy up your things first, I'm going back first too, I'll be in a hurry when the short notice comes."

"Yeah." Yan Ran left first.

For many years, she has followed her father to the archaeological site and visited the tomb several times. She has rich experience, and the other team members may not be able to match her. She knows the intention of Director Liu to bring her.
