Backlight [Rebirth]

Gu Xinran was really worried, so she took a taxi to take Bai Yilan home, watched from downstairs, and waited until the lights on her floor turned on before leaving.

When she got home, she immediately called Qu Qi and told her that she would be on leave for ten days, and that she would not pay attention to anything in the outside world during these ten days. Move this ancestor.

Gu Xinran also has no choice, Yilan's state is too worrying for her, these few days, she has to let Yilan relax and let her enjoy life, so first of all she can't be disturbed by those messy things on Weibo .

On the crew side, she called Zheng Ying herself. She just found out that Zheng Ying was the casting director. She said that there was an urgent matter at home and she needed to ask for leave for a few days. Granted her leave.

The next morning, Gu Xinran woke up early, washed up briefly, and then went downstairs.She had already asked Fang Jinghai to bring the car last night. After waiting downstairs for a while, she saw Fang Jinghai arrived on time.

"Sister, what happened? Why did you ask for leave suddenly?" Fang Jinghai got out of the car and saw a trolley case next to Gu Xinran.

"Are you going on a long trip? Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, you should take a good rest these few days. You have worked hard during this time."

"Damn, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything." Fang Jinghai handed her the car keys and helped her put her luggage in the trunk.

"Then, sister, be careful yourself."

"Ah."

Gu Xinran got into the car, went straight to Yi Lan's house, went downstairs, and called Yi Lan.

The phone rang for a while before Yi Lan picked it up.

"I'm waiting for you downstairs now, you can bring a few changes of clothes and come down."

Bai Yilan was silent for a while, then smiled lightly, "Are you going on vacation?"

Gu Xinran listened carefully to her voice, and gained some confidence. It sounded much more comfortable than yesterday, "Well, you will know when you come down."

While waiting, she went to a nearby convenience store to buy some food and water, and went to a breakfast shop to buy two breakfasts.

Twenty minutes later, Yi Lan also appeared with a suitcase. She had no makeup, no makeup, ordinary casual clothes, and a pink baseball cap. When she came out of the corridor, she lowered the brim of her hat.

Gu Xinran went down to help her put the suitcase away, and the two sat in the car.

She looked at Yi Lan's face first, she was still very haggard.

"You didn't rest yesterday, okay?" Gu Xinran brought her breakfast and handed it to her.

She thanked her and looked around, "Where are you taking me?"

"Fasten your seat belt, the journey is a bit long, after dinner, you can sleep for a while." Gu Xinran smiled at her.

She didn't make a sound, she lowered her head and ate her breakfast, with the brim of her hat covering her face, Gu Xinran took a deep look at her, then stared ahead, concentrating on driving.

Yi Lan didn't ask too much, and neither of them spoke anymore.

But it was strange that the car was so quiet that there was only the sound of chewing, but the awkward atmosphere when the two were alone was missing.

"Do you want to say hello to the crew? We've been out for a while this time, will they worry about you?" Gu Xinran asked naturally.

"En." Bai Yilan took out her mobile phone and sent Jin Shuang a text message, which was regarded as greeting.

"Your manager will let you run around alone?" Bai Yilan was a little puzzled.

"It's okay, she can't control me. The big deal is to earn more money for her in the future."

Bai Yilan smiled lightly.

The car drove on the highway, and the journey became a bit boring, Gu Xinran glanced sideways, and Yi Lan stared out the window blankly.

"Aren't you going to sleep for a while?"

"Can't sleep."

"My mind is very chaotic. When I calm down, it seems that a lot of messy things are pouring in, and I can't control my wild thoughts, is it?" Gu Xinran asked.

Bai Yilan looked at her.

"I was like that for a while."

"Ok?"

"My wife." Gu Xinran glanced at her, smiled, and unscrupulously tore open her most painful scar.

"When my wife just passed away, I was like this. My brain seemed to have autonomous consciousness. I was thinking nonstop all the time. I was very anxious every day. I was always on the verge of collapse and even tried to commit suicide."

A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Yilan's eyes.

"Well, I committed suicide twice, but I didn't die. It seemed that she was protecting me and not letting me die. Then I thought, even if it was for her, I should live a good life, even with her share. live."

Bai Yilan sat up slightly, her complexion changed, and she understood the meaning of her words.

She uncovered her scars, trying to remind herself not to commit suicide.Even if it's for the good memories they had, they should live on.

"Some scars will only heal when they are uncovered." Seeing her pensive expression, Gu Xinran knew that she understood.

Bai Yilan glanced at her and smiled faintly.

"Sleep for a while, the journey is still far away, and when we get to the place, we won't be able to rest."

"Hmm." Bai Yilan lay back and tried to close her eyes.

Gu Xinran played a very soothing music at the right time to help her fall asleep.

……

The midday sun was blowing through her hair with a refreshing breeze. Bai Yilan slowly opened her eyes, and found that the car had stopped, the doors on both sides were wide open, and the breeze was blowing gently, which was indescribably warm and comfortable.

She glanced at the time and found that she had slept for more than three hours. When she woke up this time, she felt much better, not to mention refreshed.

Gu Xinran, who was sitting on the side of the road, noticed Yi Lan's situation, and immediately got up and walked over.

"Are you there?" Bai Yilan asked, rubbing her shoulders.

"Not yet, let's take a break in the service area and have something to eat."

Bai Yilan got out of the car, stretched her waist, and moved her body. The two ate something, and then continued on the road.

Bai Yilan looked sideways at the sky, the blue sky, the bright sunshine, and the clouds piled up together, forming various shapes.

She stared at those beautiful clouds for a long time, and suddenly realized that she hadn't looked at the sky like this for a long time, and she could let go of everything and concentrate on nothing else.

"How did you meet her?" Gu Xinran asked suddenly.

"Ok?"

"At a friend's birthday party."

Gu Xinran was still waiting for her to continue, so there was no more to say.

"and then?"

"Then... I fell in love with her at first sight, and I couldn't help myself."

Gu Xinran paused, a little surprised, "You took the initiative to chase her?"

"Ah."

Gu Xinran smiled, really can't imagine that Yi Lan would believe in love at first sight?But looking back, they got married quickly after three months of passionate love, it seems that they didn't have much time to get to know each other.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, I just feel that this plot is a bit old-fashioned."

"What about you? How did you start?" Bai Yilan asked back.

"At a company party, she attended with her family." Gu Xinran stopped talking halfway through.

"Huh? Then?"

"Later, I fell in love with her at first sight..."

"...?"

"Your plot... doesn't seem to be anything new."

"cough……"

The two of them tacitly tried to treat each other as ordinary friends, but the topic started to chat, chatting along the way, and the journey became more enjoyable.

In the evening, the car drove into a small road, the road was bumpy and difficult to walk.

Bai Yilan glanced at the scenery outside the window and was stunned.

"Mount Koma?"

"En." Gu Xinran nodded.

Bai Yilan gazed into the distance, looking at the high mountain in the distance. The last time I came here was for filming. I came here to take pictures. At that time, a group of people with the film crew lived here for nearly a month, and got along very well with the villagers here. Harmonious, I also promised to come back to take a look, I didn't expect it to be ten years in a flash.

"How do you know this?" Bai Yilan was a little surprised.

"I checked the filming location of "Life Like a Summer Flower" online."

When she checked the Internet last night, she accidentally discovered that this mountain has almost the same name as the Kema Mountain where she lived in seclusion in her previous life, and it is also a place where ethnic minorities live. It was a tourist attraction for a while, but after the craze passed, there were fewer tourists.

After learning about this, she immediately decided to take Yi Lan back to the old place.Yi Lan entered the industry at the age of 20, and it was here that she filmed her first work. She should have a special feeling for this place.

Yi Lan didn't lean on the seat lazily like before, but sat up straight, and kept looking out of the window, "This place is much better than when I came last time. There was no road last time, and the car couldn't even drive." Come in."

There was a faint smile on Bai Yilan's face, and she could obviously feel that her mood had improved.

Gu Xinran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this decision is quite correct.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Bai Yilan got out of the car, and spread her arms to feel the oncoming breeze. The air in the mountains was extraordinarily fresh, and there was even a hint of sweetness in the air.

Gu Xinran also got out of the car, moved her body a bit, and after driving for a whole day, her neck became stiff.

She had checked the situation in the vicinity beforehand, and took Yilan to the hotel to check in.

The two returned to their respective rooms and tidied up a little.

After having dinner at a nearby small restaurant, the two of them took a walk near the foot of the mountain in a tacit understanding.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, occasionally a frightened bird flew by, and the two of them strolled, feeling the breath of nature.

Gu Xinran pulled her to sit on the floor, and pointed to the stars in the sky for her to look at.

Bai Yilan looked up at the sky, the stars were big and bright, as far as she could see, there was a bright sea of ​​stars!

"In the city, you can't see such beautiful stars."

"Thank you for bringing me here." Bai Yilan raised her hand to catch the stars in the sky, with a very relaxed expression on her face.

Gu Xinran looked at her for a while, smiled, and picked up the willow leaves on the ground to play with.

"You said you once lived alone in the mountains for a while?" Bai Yilan asked.

"Ok?"

"Well, after my wife passed away, I retired from the world."

Bai Yilan nodded, realizing that she seemed to have poked her sore foot, so she stopped asking.

The two sat quietly for a while, and Bai Yilan suddenly tilted her head to look at her, "I've always wanted to ask you a question."

"Ok?"

"How old are you?"

Gu Xinran thought for a while, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Ah."

"68."

"???" Bai Yilan was taken aback, surprised for a moment, and then quickly calmed down, "Cough, I'm sorry, I...I can feel that you are very mature, but I didn't expect..." Bai Yilan was still a little It was hard to accept, and I helped my forehead.

Gu Xinran raised a nice smile at her, "It's okay, these few days, you don't have to worry about anything, you can say whatever you want, and do whatever you want."

"I'll be with you." Gu Xinran added, and after she finished speaking, she gently placed the garland she had made in her hand on her head.

Yi Lan looked up and smiled at her, "Thank you."

"It's been a hard journey today, go back and rest first, get a good night's sleep, and we'll go up the mountain tomorrow." Gu Xinran naturally helped her remove the bangs on her forehead.

"Ah."

When the two returned to the hotel and sent Yi Lan to the door of the room, Gu Xinran paused, "Have a good rest, don't think about anything."

"it is good."

"Good night?"

"Ah."

……

In the middle of the night, Bai Yilan was sleeping deeply, when she suddenly heard a few strange noises, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a black shadow shaking behind the curtain!

She was so frightened that she let out an exclamation, and her scalp went numb in an instant!He turned over and fell off the bed!

This fall made her wake up a little bit, but before she calmed down, she heard a few more meows!

The cry exploded in her ears like thunder, which made her tremble subconsciously in fright, so frightened that she trembled!

"Yilan?" Gu Xinran passed by her door, heard the noise inside, and immediately called for the door loudly.

"Elan, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Yilan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Looking at the shaking curtains and the cat-like figure behind the curtains, she couldn't even stand up for a while, and struggled to move to the door and unlocked it.

"Yilan?" Gu Xinran pushed open the door, and saw Yilan sitting by the door, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her face was frighteningly pale, and her body was still trembling slightly, so frightened that she immediately leaned over and hugged her. hold her.

"Elan? What happened?"

Bai Yilan closed her eyes and was hugged happily, so she felt a little safe.

She pointed tremblingly at the window.

"cat……"

Gu Xinran frowned, and looked in the direction of her finger, her heart skipped a beat.

After placing Yi Lan, she got up and walked over, opened the curtains and took a look, it was indeed a cat, a fat orange cat, the white cat was dirty to gray, lying lazily on the window sill outside.

She opened the window and the cat was frightened and ran away immediately.

Gu Xinran poked her head out and looked around to see if she saw the cat, so she was relieved.

Close the window, go back to the door, help Yi Lan up, and let her sit on the bed.

"Okay, it's all right, the cat has already left." Xin Ran comforted her softly, seeing that her left hand had been covering the elbow of her right hand.

"Let me take a look for you." Carefully helped her pull up the sleeve of her right hand, her elbow was a little red, probably bumped somewhere, and gently rubbed it for her.

"Are you afraid of cats?" Xin Ran wondered.

"Yeah." Yi Lan still had lingering fears, and glanced at the window uneasily.

"Don't worry, it's gone."

"Why are you afraid of cats? Have you ever been scratched by a cat before?"

Bai Yilan shook her head, "No, I don't know why, but I'm afraid of cats, especially wild cats."

"Born?" The doubts on Gu Xinran's face became more serious.

"En." Bai Yilan nodded and calmed down a little.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gu Xinran's absent-minded look, Yi Lan asked.

"No, I just thought of my wife."

"She? Also afraid of cats?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"Actually, she wasn't afraid of cats, and she liked to keep small animals. It's just that some bad people hung the dead cat's body on my door when I was not at home, which frightened her."

Bai Yilan was startled, "Why?"

Gu Xinran's eyes darkened, "In my time, same-sex love was not allowed. Those extreme anti-gay elements claimed to be righteous people, standing on the commanding heights of morality, and wantonly hurting others."

"Because it was not allowed, no one would speak up for us, and everything that happened to us was considered to be our own fault."

Bai Yilan was a little shocked!

Neither of them spoke anymore, Gu Xinran helped her move her arm, "Does it still hurt?"

Bai Yilan hadn't recovered yet, and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"what happened?"

Bai Yilan shook her head, frowned suddenly, and looked at her carefully. It was past two o'clock in the morning, but she was fully dressed, with obvious scratches on her clothes, and a trace of moisture on her body.

"You went out?"

"Ah."

Bai Yilan was still waiting for her next words, but she didn't say anything.

"It's still early, you can sleep for a while, I'll be here with you."

Without waiting for Yi Lan to respond, she pulled the quilt to cover her up, just like she was by his side on the day when the thunder struck, accompanying her to sleep.

……

Early in the morning, Yi Lan was awakened by a nightmare.

She opened her eyes, the light in the room was still on, she lay down beside the bed happily, and fell asleep deeply.

Probably thinking about it day by day, in the second half of the night, she actually dreamed about the scene Xin Ran described.

She dreamed that a girl was about to go out, but she was terrified when the door opened. On the door frame, the body of an orange cat was tied with a rope, its tail was upside down, hanging upside down on the door.

The cat's blood was spilled all over the floor, mixed with the blood, and there was also pitch-black ink. On the door, the words "disgusting" were written in blood, and the blood flowed to the ground, which was very scary.

The orchids blooming in the yard were smashed by bricks, and the ground was in a mess.

Outside the courtyard, after seeing her coming out, someone pointed at her, yelled at her, and threw mud at her.

Everyone's face is full of disgust, wishing she would die.

She was angry and hated, but there was nothing she could do.

Then, woke up angrily.

She didn't know why she had such a dream, just like, she didn't know why she often dreamed that a woman was caught in a wildfire and her appearance was completely destroyed.

……

In a daze, Gu Xinran raised her hand to touch the bed and found that there was no one there. She woke up instantly, and when she looked up, she saw Yi Lan standing by the window looking out.

"Why did you wake up so early?" She got up and walked over, touched her shoulder naturally, turned around and put a piece of clothing on her body, "The temperature difference in the mountains is huge, it's cool in the morning and evening."

"Thank you."

"Did you sleep well?"

"Well, very good." Bai Yilan smiled faintly, "Thank you." She unconsciously raised her hand to help the bruises under her eyes.

Gu Xinran paused, feeling her cold fingertips caressing herself, and smiled, "Then let's go eat first, and then go to the mountain?"

"it is good."

……

During breakfast, Yi Lan didn't seem to have much appetite, and felt that she was not in high spirits, so she was pleased to see this, and directly led her up the mountain.

When climbing the mountain, Bai Yilan felt very puzzled. She remembered that the last time she came here, the mountain road was rough and difficult to walk, but this time, under the guidance of Xin Ran, the raised gravels and overgrown tree branches on the road were like It's like having eyes, completely avoiding the two people's travel routes, isn't it weird?

Just as she was wondering, she looked at Xinran. She walked on the ground with confidence, as if she knew the mountain well.

Bai Yilan frowned suddenly, and suddenly remembered what she saw last night, the scratches on her clothes and the abrasions on her arms.

"Did you come here last night?"

"Ok?"

"I came out in a hurry this time, so I didn't have time to prepare, so I had to use a stupid method." Gu Xinran replied, she went up the mountain in the dark last night, and simply cleared a small path to avoid unnecessary damage when climbing the mountain , she didn't care, she was mainly worried about Yi Lan.

Hearing what she said so calmly, Bai Yilan was deeply moved, but her expression changed in a blink of an eye.

"No wonder she has a new injury." Pretending to be angry, she pursed her lips and blamed.

"??" Shouldn't you care about me!

"Got it, I'll pay attention next time." Gu Xinran couldn't laugh or cry.

The two chatted along the way, wandering slowly to the halfway up the mountain, and saw a small stream in the distance, Gu Xinran suggested going there to take a rest.

Bai Yilan sat beside the stream, resting her chin, with a calm expression on her face, listening to the sound of running water, she felt much more relaxed.

The air is filled with a strong fragrance of grass and trees, the breeze, the warm sun, the chirping of cicadas, and the flow of water. She quietly feels the beauty of nature. For a moment, she even wants to stay here for a while.

She lay down on her back, even the dirt smelled warm, it was so beautiful.

Gu Xinran was not as good at enjoying it as she was. She squatted beside the water, scooped up a handful of water, passed it to her lips, and took a sip. It was clear and cold, and sweet in the mouth!

Just as I was about to drink it up, I heard...

"Don't drink cold water, her stomach is precious."

"..." Gu Xinran paused, watching the water slip through her fingers, and looked back at Yi Lan. She was lying on the ground with one hand behind her head and the other in front of her eyes, obviously not looking at herself.

Gu Xinran scooped up another handful of water cautiously, while looking at Yi Lan, while frantically probing, but just as he handed it to her lips, she felt a real gaze, Yi Lan was looking directly at her!

Damn it, isn't it!

Gu Xinran spilled the water, and Yi Lan looked away.

She sat for a while, and suddenly saw a fish swimming past in the water, she became interested again, turned around and went to the tree to pick up two branches, tied them together with a rope, and made a harpoon.

Back by the stream, I rolled up my trouser legs, just about to take off my shoes...

"Don't go into the water, the water is too cold."

"...?"

Gu Xinran paused again, looking at Yi Lan helplessly.

"I said you're already old, why are you so incapable of taking care of yourself?" Bai Yilan glanced at her and asked from the bottom of her heart.

"I..." Xin Ran choked.

This person... really doesn't think I'm old?

The author has something to say: Gu Xinran: Jumping repeatedly on the verge of being beaten

Bai Yilan: I broke my heart because of my wife's body
