Reborn: Lost Far Away

"What are you two doing in the room for so long?"

Mom is here.

I quickly took out the star lantern, "Mom, look, Xiaofang gave me a gift."

My mother looked at the lamp in my hand and smiled happily, "You two have been very close since childhood. Xiaofang treats you better than my father and me. I hide everything good and let you see it first."

I tried to raise the corner of my mouth, "Yes. But I just don't like calling him 'Brother', I keep calling him by his name. I'm going back to my room first, I'm a little sleepy."

My mother told me to take a good rest, and I went to my room.

"Hey, Xiaoyuan, ah, that's not right, Xiaoyuan, your phone rang in the living room just now, I'm here to give you the phone."

I turned around, and standing in front of me was Lin Xuewei.

I have always disliked her, not so much because I don't like her, but because I envy her.

I don't know what she has paid for Xiaofang, and she hasn't lived with Xiaofang for as long as I did, but she has always been loved by Xiaofang.Maybe it's something about feelings that I can't understand at all.

"Thank you."

For me now, it is my limit to be able to calmly say these two words in front of her.

Back in the room, I drew the curtains and turned off the headlights.I just lit up the starry sky lamp and put it on the small bedside table, letting it shine with stars, decorating my small room into a bright starry sky.

It is very similar to the scene in Xiaofang's room just now, the difference is that there is no Xiaofang here, and I am alone.

I went to check my phone and found that it was a text message from Jiang Chunzhi.

"Xiaoyuan Xiaoyuan, happy forever. Happy birthday. bling~bling~"

I suddenly remembered that Jiang Chunzhi was sitting next to me at Xiaofang's wedding in my previous life, and his hairstyle at that time was really blingbling and shiny.

Ha, who did I learn my bad taste from?

There was a vague sound coming from the living room, it seemed to be a fight, it must be Xiaofang.

I was going to go out and make a fuss, but when I got to the door, I suddenly realized that only Xiaofang and Lin Xuewei were in the living room at this time, so I had to stop by the door.

The movement in the living room is getting louder and louder, I have to listen.

"Oh, Xiaofang, don't make trouble. Auntie will be angry when she comes back!"

"You are the prospective daughter-in-law of our Tao family, what's wrong with you? Come, let me kiss you."

I felt like my heart was hit hard by a large stone in an instant, which made me a little unbearable.

I rushed to the bed~ and covered myself in the quilt so that even the starlight in the hut could not see me.

I feel very bad, Xiaofang, did you not take my feelings into consideration on my last birthday?

No, you probably never knew that your good brother, who was close to you since you were a child, began to have that kind of thought about you at some point.

This kind of thinking has lasted for so many years, and it was even so strong that I had such a short but beautiful dream after my death, and became a real couple with you, without worrying about identity.

Covered in this quilt, I felt that my eyelids gradually became heavy, and gradually I couldn't feel anything, so I just fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.I was surprised to find that I slept soundly without any dreams.

Xiaofang looked at me changing clothes leisurely, and seemed very impatient, "Xuewei has already gone home. We have to go back to school, and you have slept for so long!"

I tidied up my clothes slowly, walked up to Xiaofang wearing slippers, and said, "Help me fix my hair, we can go when we are done."

Xiaofang curled her lips, dragged me to the bathroom, picked up a comb and slowly smoothed my bangs.

I looked at Xiaofang's focused expression in the mirror, and my mood was very peaceful for no reason.

Maybe, that's enough.

My schoolbag is only equipped with a starry sky lamp, so there is no pressure to carry Xiaofang's bag, even if it is crowded and pushed around in the crowd on the bus, it is very easy.

When I arrived at school, I went directly to the classroom. Xiaofang said that he was going out to eat, so he put the bag in the classroom and went out.

Xiaofang didn't come back until the bell rang for evening self-study.

I went to the seat next to Xiaofang and stared at his slightly swollen lips. Xiaofang said that it was spicy chicken.

I smiled and didn't speak.

I quietly sat next to Xiaofang for a class, flipped through his books to read his words, or flipped through his bangs to see his sleeping face.Xiaofang fell asleep for one class, woke up after class, and slipped to class two.

I saw that most of the students in the classroom were reading or doing problems. Liu Rui was the one who worked the hardest. Perhaps his cheeks were flushed because he had been concentrating on studying for too long.

No one should notice me, I quietly walked out of the classroom with the star lamp.

"Hey! Xiaoyuan!"

"Jiang Chunzhi?"

I didn't expect to run into him as soon as I left the classroom, and I was really shocked.

"Isn't today your birthday? I prepared a small cake for you. Happy birthday."

He handed me a small cake box, then turned around and went back to the second shift.

I had no choice but to go up to the rooftop with the star lantern and the cake.

In the winter, there was a strong wind blowing on the roof, and there were no stars in the night sky, only the bright street lights reflected the sky in a dim yellow or dark red.This rooftop where I am alone is still very gloomy and desolate.

I sat on the side, turned on the starlight and put it aside.

After unpacking the cake, I found that it was tiramisu.

I usually don't like tiramisu very much, because it is too pretentious to be mentioned.But today I found that it was usually my prejudice that made me miss such a beautiful thing. Its taste is still very good, with a hint of irrelevant bitterness in the sweetness.

After the cake was eaten, it was finally time to put an end to it all.

Xiaofang, goodbye.

The focused look on your face as you helped me with my hair was the last scene of a sweet dream I will never forget.

I climbed up to the one-meter-high small fence on the edge of the roof with the starlight in my arms, closed my eyes, and jumped down.

……

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the bald head and navy blue suit, which were conspicuous on the plain white sheets.

Throat dry and hoarse, I struggled to pronounce the one-syllable word, "Water, water..."

The shiny bald head moved, and then I saw a haggard face, eyes weeping with joy.

I was hugged violently, tightly.

He said, "You finally woke up, Xiao Yuan."

The corners of my eyes suddenly burst into uncontrollable tears, which I couldn't stop.
