"Darkness breeds light, and light turns away from darkness. Curse darkness." - Goethe

"Can you understand what this means?"

The middle-aged man sitting beside the hospital bed was holding a book, his clothes were neat and decent, and his speaking posture had a teaching charm.

The teenager listening on the bed shook his head, expressing his confusion.The man went on to say:

"In this world, light and darkness must be interdependent and coexist."

"Darkness embraces the light and chooses to retreat behind the scenes, but the light spurns the darkness, even drives away the darkness, forcing them into beings that everyone hates and abuse..."

Huixue passed their ward in the corridor outside. It was noon now. Huixue was tired of eating the repeated nutritious meals assigned every day, and now she was planning to go to the cafeteria to buy a box of sandwiches.

This hospital has a large floor area and complete facilities. There are four floors of ABCD buildings with different special areas. Gray snow stepped on the bricks and stones and passed through the center of the pool.

Maybe it was the person who obeyed Shen Tinglan and was in charge of supervising her going out.

Thinking of this, Huixue's slightly raised vigilance eased again. She didn't look back, didn't pay any extra attention, and followed the original route.

There was a lot of people in the cafeteria, noises and murmurs surrounded Huixue, besides sandwiches, Huixue also bought an extra bottle of fresh milk.

The entrance and exit of the canteen are divided into two rows of stairs on the left and right, and the flow of people walks up and down at the same time.

At noon the sun was hot, Huixue walked up with her head raised, the glaring white light outside blurred part of her sight, and the faces of the people on the other side of the stairs were submerged in the blur.

I don't know if it's some sequelae, but the feeling of trampling under Huixue's feet is a bit unreal, top-heavy as if she is about to fall.

At the same time that this thought came up, Huixue's senses were also seized by the unbalanced sense of panic. She stepped on a step and was about to fall backwards.

A pair of hands stretched out from the fence next door, grabbing Huixue forcefully.

Accompanied by an excited and eager call:

"13!?"

Huixue was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly regained consciousness and grabbed the handrail of the stairs to stabilize her body.

Huixue raised her chin again, slowed down her rising heart rate, and stared blankly at the person in front of her.

The girl who walks with the light.

It was a strange yet familiar face, her eyes were black and bright, even in the dark against the light, it was difficult to hide her natural brilliance.

Huixue was stunned, and said hesitantly:

"...104?"

The weather was clear and thin clouds dissipated in the sky.

The fountain pool in the center of the courtyard kept spitting out white water, and the two sat on a nearby long bench, talking one after the other.

"Guixue, how are you doing recently?"

The girl with jet-black curly hair turned her face away and asked with a smile, and suddenly realized - if it was good, she would never appear in 'this place'.

As if she said something wrong, Alisa scratched her head in embarrassment, and wanted to jump to another topic, her smile deepened:

"Huixue, you have come to Nancheng now, that means someone has adopted you?"

Alisa asked joyfully, her voice was chirping like a cute bird, Hui Xue paused, and nodded in response to her:

"Um......"

"A woman has taken a fancy to me."

"Oh, it's the hostess." Alyssa couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately..."

"Guixue, do you know that after I left the orphanage, I was actually very worried. Irena's group of people always ostracized you..."

A certain harsh word was mentioned, and Huixue's face froze a little on the spot. Alisa thought it was because she didn't want to think about the unbearable past, and quickly changed the subject and said:

"But that's all in the past, you have a new life now, uh...... Huixue, which building is your ward in?"

"In Building B, No. 322." Huixue replied.

Alisa exclaimed again, "Huh? Really? What a coincidence, I'm upstairs from you!"

Huixue slightly pulled the corners of her lips towards her, and asked back, "Alisa, why did you enter the hospital?"

This simple question made Alisa a little flustered, she subconsciously rubbed the tip of her small nose, and answered a little stumbled:

"It's because, 'at work', I accidentally encountered an accident..."

Huixue didn't answer, and handed her the fresh milk bottle. Alisa was so happy that she almost spread her wings and took off, immersed in the joy of receiving a small gift from Huixue:

"What about you, Huixue?"

"Is it because of illness...?"

Huixue squeezed the only sandwich box left in her hand, and said in a low voice, "No."

The plastic box was sunken and deformed, and the skin of the toast had collapsed into a corner.

"I planned it myself."

Huixue turned her face sideways, the cold wind brushed her thin body, and there were still brown bruises on her arms hidden under the hospital gown.

Her eyes are dark, and if you look carefully, you can find that a lot of fatigue and fatigue have accumulated into blue shadows under her eye sockets.

"What do you mean?"

Alisa blinked to drive away the shock, and quickly digest the information in her mind.

"Guixue, you...have you encountered any trouble?"

Huixue looked at her, frowned, and there was a sense of helplessness and powerlessness in the sandwiched smile.

Alyssa saw through the words that could not be expressed under her eyes, she took the initiative to take the back of Huixue's hand, held it in the warm palm, and asked sincerely:

"Huixue, are you willing to trust me?"

Huixue felt the real body temperature enveloping her, and recalled that she had stayed in countless corners of the orphanage, and the only person who was by her side was this little black bird.

"I trust you, Alisa."

Huixue looked at her with firm eyes.

"...Okay." Alisa unscrewed the fresh milk and gulped it down, as if to cheer herself up beforehand.

She hiccupped a little, her eyes still firm, "Huixue, I'm asking you."

"Do you want to live freely?"

As the evening approached, the twilight gradually rose, and the crows standing on the eaves cried miserably.

"Ash Snow."

A hoarse woman's voice echoed in the ward. Ever since Shen Tinglan came back, she had been hugging Huixue on her body and burying her in the crook of her neck, calling her name like that without saying anything.

Huixue separated her knees and knelt on both sides of Shen Tinglan's legs. She seemed to feel Shen Tinglan's other depressed mood. After some hesitation, she finally asked:

"What's wrong...Master."

Shen Tinglan didn't answer, but just buried her face deeper and deeper, as if she was using this to avoid some kind of pain from the outside world.

Surrounded by silence and lonely coldness, the relentless smell of disinfection trampled on every victim.

This is a strange place that welcomes death and birth at the same time.

After a long time, Huixue knelt until her legs and feet were numb, and there seemed to be some kind of suppressed mournful sound from the side of her neck.

Thin and low, both true and false.

Huixue was stunned, a little unbelievable, she didn't know where to touch the hand on Shen Tinglan's shoulder.

"Owner......"

"Are you... crying?"

Huixue was clearly very overwhelmed.

If it were someone else who broke down emotionally in front of her today, she would not be surprised.

But now the person crying in her arms is Shen Tinglan!

how can that be possible!

Just when Huixue's heart was beating and the drum was beating, and her nerves were getting more and more chaotic, Shen Tinglan suddenly said:

"May surrendered herself."

what?

"She told me in the letter that since she finished disposing of Irena's body, she would be plagued by nightmares every night, dreaming that the body with a mushy face kept demanding her life..."

Shen Tinglan hugged her more and more tightly, Huixue almost felt the pain of her bones being squeezed hard, wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound, and Shen Tinglan seemed to be trapped in a muddy swamp, unable to Climb ashore.

"She can't take it anymore..."

Shen Tinglan raised her head, the faint moonlight shone faintly on her proud facial features, and the tears on her cheeks slid down from her sunken eye sockets like pus and blood, corroding her dirty leather face and heart step by step.

"Ash Snow...!"

Shen Tinglan called her, then suddenly raised her voice, her eyes widened, almost aggressive: "Mei has done all the crimes for us!"

What us?

It's all just your doing!

It's you who keep trying to drag others into the filthy mud!

"I have nothing but you now... Ashue."

Obviously you deliberately abandoned her.

"Guixue...I only have you left..."

fraud.

Huixue tightened her jaw, screaming and scolding Shen Tinglan countless times in her heart, but when all the words rolled up from her throat, she could only be replaced by trembling breathing pitifully.

"Ash Snow...Ash Snow..."

Calls full of endless longing quickly hovered in her mind.

The shaking sound of "嘿嘿嘿呢" became a vent point for the woman's violence.

If possible, Huixue hopes to be incinerated in the fire, but every time she wants to be burned, the cold touch will stick to her disgustingly, hug her, and talk to her affectionately : "I love you, Huixue."

Love!

This is love, love! ! !

Huixue hissed and grabbed the soft and thin thing under the pillow with all her strength, the tight rope was torn off by the woman, and she completely collapsed in darkness and despair.

"What's wrong, Huixue..."

The woman's gentle tone only proves that it's not over yet.

"Are you crying? Huixue."

"Did I make you cry? Huixue."

Shen Tinglan lowered her body, gently stroking Huixue's tear-soaked eye area with her fingertips, the woman watched intently, almost fascinated.

Suddenly, Shen Tinglan let out a strange laugh:

"I really like how you look."
