Rebirth of Brotherly Love

The boarding time for the flight to Vancouver was 08:30 in the morning. An Luo sent a text message to An Ze after arriving at the airport, and then went directly to the security checkpoint and sat at the boarding gate to wait.

There are many foreigners in the waiting area of ​​the international flight boarding gate. There are a few young people sitting next to An Luo, speaking French in a low voice, probably because the travelers are going home. The expressions on their faces look like quite pleasant.

An Luo has lived in Canada for several years. At the beginning, there were mainly immigrants from the United Kingdom and France. Therefore, the confrontation between English and French cultures has also formed. English and French are the two most frequently used languages ​​in Canada.An Luo's English is very good, but he can't understand French at all. Hearing the few people around him happily chatting in French, An Luo only felt at a loss.

But it doesn't matter, compared to other countries, Canada is already the easiest place for An Luo to adapt to.

There were still more than ten minutes before the boarding time. Bored, An Luo took out his mobile phone to watch the news. As soon as he turned on the screen, he found a line of unread text messages from An Ze popping up in front of him, four words: "Safe journey."

Like himself, he didn't say goodbye, and he didn't say goodbye. He only used the shortest words to say his final farewell.

That's fine.

A simple goodbye, and it's all over.

Finally, I was able to start a brand new An Luo and start a peaceful life as I thought when I was just reborn.It's just that An Luo doesn't know, why can't he be happy at all when he is about to fulfill his wish?

An Luo looked at the text message and was silent for a long time, before finally replying.He wanted to turn off the phone, but the ringtone suddenly rang. It was a call from An Yang.

An Luo picked up the phone and heard An Yang's eager voice, "An Luo, where are you?"

He was probably on the phone on the street, and the surrounding environment sounded a bit noisy, An Luo frowned, and whispered, "I'm at the airport."

"What? The airport?! You can't leave now, An Luo..."

"Passengers, please note that flight ca1206 to Vancouver is now boarding. Please take your belongings and board the plane at gate a7. I wish you a pleasant journey."

Suddenly there was a flight boarding reminder on the radio, An Luo took the phone away from his ear, looked up at the number on the electronic clock, it was already 8:30 boarding time, and the passengers around got up one after another to queue up at the check-in gate up.

An Luo took the phone to his ear again, and whispered to the other end: "Sorry, An Yang, I have decided to go abroad and start a new life. Everything here has nothing to do with me."

"An Luo..."

"ladiesAndGentlemen, mayIHaveYourAttentionPlease..."

The boarding reminder in English came again on the radio, An Luo didn't hesitate anymore, hung up the phone directly, and walked to the boarding area with the suitcase.

After getting on the plane, An Luo found his seat, put away his carry-on suitcase, sat down and carefully fastened his seat belt.The surroundings were gradually full of passengers, and the beautiful flight attendant began to check the seats one by one. An Luo turned on the phone and saw three consecutive missed calls from An Yang. It will take off soon, please turn off your mobile phone."

An Luo nodded, and put the phone in his pocket after turning off the phone.Now that he decided to leave, he didn't want to procrastinate any more. An Yang's phone call was just to ask him to help the police. In this city, no one really wanted him to stay.

After a period of preparation, the plane finally slid out of the flight path and took off.

In an instant, the scene from that year suddenly flashed in An Luo's mind——

Terrible flames swept in like a raging wild beast. The heart-piercing screams of the surrounding passengers pierced the eardrums. The entire cabin was in chaos. An Luo even saw a young woman in front of her being swallowed by the flames. , with a raging fire on his body, his hands are still desperately struggling...

"Xiao Luo, it's actually quite good for us to die together like this."

"elder brother……"

An Luo's fingers firmly grasped the shirt on his chest. The moment the plane took off again, he actually clearly remembered that scene back then!The fear buried deep in my heart, like a beast breaking through its cage, burst out from the bottom of my heart in an instant!

It was terrible, the unpleasant smell of the human body being scorched by the fire filled the nostrils, the picture of those people struggling desperately in the fire, with their ferocious faces and ear-piercing screams, was simply a horrible purgatory on earth!

When I was there, all the memories of the plane crash suddenly appeared in my mind——

After being swept by the fire, An Luo felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, an indescribably strange world.

An Yang's familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "I've heard a rumor that when everyone dies, their body will lose 21 grams of weight. Scientists say that 21 grams is the water lost when life stops functioning. People say that 21 grams is actually our human soul."

"..."

"Xiao Luo, tell me, if we stood on the electronic scale and measured our body weight, would it be 21 grams?" An Yang's voice was filled with a faint smile. This is how he is, no matter what the situation is , can tell ridiculous jokes.

An Luo said with a cold face; "Brother, stop joking."

An Yang looked back at him, "What's wrong? You don't seem very happy?"

"...I never thought that human beings would have souls. I thought that death could end everything."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, maybe we will be reincarnated later, and we won't remember anything from now on, and everything in this life is over." An Yang seemed to have remembered something, and asked again, "By the way, Xiao Luo , did you have something to say to me just now?"

"……No."

It is impossible for An Luo to say the phrase I love you that has not yet been said.

An Yang didn't notice the abnormality of his younger brother. He looked at the strange souls in the distance, and suddenly said with emotion: "Actually, I'm a little curious. I don't know if I can see Zihang in this world."

"Zihang?" An Luo was silent for a moment, "Maybe he has already been reincarnated."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"An Yang."

It was the voice of a 25-year-old young policeman, a clear and upright voice, Su Zihang's voice.

An Yang suddenly turned around and saw Su Zihang standing there, smiling slightly at him.

"I've been here, waiting for you for many years."

"..."

Looking at that scene, An Luo suddenly remembered the sentence in a poem: Looking back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.

I am here, waiting for you for many years.In a word, there is no need to make any redundant explanations. They looked at each other, met again after many years, and a tacit smile said everything.

Su Zihang has been waiting, he has been waiting here for An Yang, what else can describe his affection for An Yang?Maybe the parting in the previous life caused too much regret, maybe he still has a lot to say to An Yang, he is not willing to die like that, so he has been waiting here for An Yang's return.

Seeing the warm scene of their reunion, An Luo was suddenly speechless.

He didn't like Su Zihang before, and he didn't understand why his brother fell in love with the undercover agent who had deceived him.One of them was born in the underworld, and the other was a policeman. They were originally in two different worlds, light and darkness, black and white, and they should never have any intersection, let alone love.

Perhaps, human beings are so strange, the shadow at the intersection of light and darkness seems to have a unique magic power, which makes both An Yang and Su Zihang deeply involved.At this moment, An Luo suddenly discovered that even if An Yang and Su Zihang were on the opposite side, they would always be the only one for each other.

And himself, even if he died with An Yang, he never had a place in his heart.As an outsider, as his younger brother, I can only witness the reunion between him and his lover in another world.

After clearly understanding this point, it was impossible to say that he was not sad, but at that moment, in addition to being sad, An Luo felt more calm, the calm of accepting everything and thinking through everything.

He thought that he could finally let go of An Yang, forget them completely, and even bless them frankly. If they can meet in the next life, I hope they can be happy and safe together.

If there is an afterlife, maybe there will be a better person waiting for me?Maybe, after getting rid of the bitter love in the past, I will fall in love with another person and have a wholehearted love?

If there is an afterlife, An Luo only hopes that he can be born in a new family and have a new life.I also hope that I and An Yang will never meet again.

***

"Sir, your breakfast." The gentle voice of the flight attendant rang in his ears, and An Luo suddenly woke up from his nightmare.

The plane did not catch fire, and there were no strange souls around him. He was still sitting in his seat. A young mother beside him was peeling peanuts for her child. An old man diagonally across from him was reading a newspaper with reading glasses. A student-looking boy in front of him was listening to music with headphones on.

There were no terrible screams or dying screams, and the cabin was very quiet. The flight attendants were delivering breakfast one by one, and it happened to be delivered to the seat where An Luo was sitting.

"gentlemen?"

Seeing that An Luo was still in a daze, the steward handed the box to his place in a good-tempered manner, "Your breakfast."

"Oh, thank you." An Luo hurriedly took the breakfast box from her.

The child sitting next door glanced at the pale An Luo curiously, tugged his sleeve lightly, and said with wide eyes, "Uncle, is this your first time flying? Are you scared? Look You were trembling just now."

"..." There were a few eyes around An Luo, and An Luo blushed instantly. Seeing the little girl making faces at him, his whole body stiffened in embarrassment.

When he died in an air crash, just like a person who has been bitten by a snake would be afraid of well ropes, he had a hidden fear of flying in his heart. When the plane took off just now, An Luo couldn't control the fear in his heart. , probably appearing to be out of control in front of these people...

A big man trembled in fear of flying, and the passengers around him must be laughing at him.

Thinking of this, An Luo's ears turned red.

Fortunately, the girl's mother rescued him in time and said to her daughter, "Don't make trouble, baby. Uncle is not afraid. He just doesn't feel well and is airsick." The woman looked at An Luo apologetically, and said with a smile, "Sir, Sorry, my daughter is not sensible. If you are not feeling well, would you like to eat some chewing gum? I used to get airsick too, and this is very helpful."

"Uh, thank you." An Luo took the chewing gum she handed over with an embarrassed expression, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The episode on the plane ended with the woman next to her making a rescue. The little girl made a face at An Luo and then lowered her head to eat peanuts. Mouth breakfast.

The flight attendants collected the rubbish after everyone had eaten, and the cabin once again fell into silence that could hear the sound of falling needles.

The long-distance flight was very tiring. Many passengers around put down their sun visors and leaned against the seats to sleep. The women and children around them also fell asleep, but An Luo didn't feel sleepy at all.

His mind was in turmoil.

The memory of that moment just now came to him, and it actually reminded him of what happened after his death.

It turned out that An Yang told him about the rumor of "21 grams of soul weight". No wonder there was such a passage in his mind after his rebirth.And when he was reborn, for some reason, he forgot about this period of post-death events, and also forgot that he had witnessed the reunion of An Yang and Su Zihang in that world...

The last fragment in my memory is my expectation about the afterlife, as well as my complete letting go and calm blessing to An Yang and Su Zihang...

Could it be that he was not suddenly reborn, but a direct reincarnation?

Did I really lose my memory this time?

Or, as Anze said, because he had lost his memory twice, leading to confusion in his thinking, and inexplicably remembered his previous life?

what is the problem……

The chaotic thoughts in his mind made An Luo have a splitting headache. He couldn't find strong evidence at all, and he couldn't find out whether he was reincarnated since he was a child, or if he was reborn suddenly on An Luo. If it was the former, then he had always been Anze's brother, if it's the latter, then he has nothing to do with Anze's brother.

An Luo couldn't even confirm the authenticity of those stories about the soul. Maybe it was just his own imagination, or was it just a dream after falling asleep?

***

The plane finally landed at Vancouver International Airport after more than ten hours of flying. An Luo walked out of the airport with a suitcase in his hands, with complicated emotions and confused thoughts.

It was 08:30 in the morning when it took off, and it was still in the morning when it arrived. The obvious jet lag made An Luo slightly dizzy. He stood there for a while, rubbed his temples, and then he recovered, and walked out of the airport slowly.

After more than 20 years, this city that I once lived in has become very strange. The surrounding buildings, vehicles, crowds, everything is a brand new world.It took An Luo a long time to find the area where the taxi was located, took a taxi, and told the driver to take him to a hotel in his memory, but the driver said that the hotel was no longer there.

An Luo was silent for a while, and had no choice but to ask the driver to take him to the city, and then find a temporary residence.

Regarding his true identity, An Luo can't think clearly now, let alone find out the clues. Now that we are here, let's settle down for the time being.It was hard to make up my mind, not to suddenly change my mind and go back to China just because of that inexplicable dream-like scene on the plane.

What's more, he kept clearly saying "I'm not your brother", and even rejected the existence of Anze's brother from the bottom of his heart.If he suddenly ran back and said "I might be your brother", Anze would definitely find it ridiculous...

Even An Luo himself found this statement ridiculous.

He opened the car window and took a deep breath to calm himself down completely.He thought, starting today, he should start a new life.When he went abroad, he drew a sum of money from his credit card. How to use this money to support himself is the most important thing An Luo needs to consider at the moment.
