Unfortunately, misfortune favors the unfortunate.

When Lan Shuang's college entrance examination results were announced, she hid away and cried for a long time. She felt that her patience had finally come to an end. She could finally break away from this blood-sucking family and walk out of the mountain that had weighed her down for seventeen years.

She looked at the sunset in the sky and imagined her future. She had already decided what major she wanted to study. She wanted to be a teacher. She wanted to help more children and pass on the concepts of openness, optimism, equality and freedom to everyone.

However, this beautiful dream was shattered.

The following story is similar to what Lan Shuang experienced in this life.

Lan Wei's results were not good enough for the city's key school, so Fang Yinan and Lan Yaowu set their sights on Lan Shuang. Just then, the admission letter arrived, and Lan Shuang was not at home, so Lan Yaowu went to get it. He took it back, opened it, and tore it into pieces, threw it into the stove, and burned it all.

At that time, she could not report without an admission letter. Moreover, City A was so far away, she had no money and no cell phone, and could not leave at all. She did not even have a chance to explain herself.

Her only chance to change her fate was cut short.

Lan Shuang didn't know at the time. She thought the admission letter had not arrived yet. In the evening, the family had dinner and drank some wine. Lan Yaowu said that he was celebrating her good grades and Lan Wei's promotion.

At that time, Lan Shuang didn't know that her parents could be so bad. She drank some wine and was sent to Liu Min's car in a daze. She only woke up when the night wind blew.

When she was sent to Liu Min's home, she refused to comply, grabbed the flashlight that Liu Min had placed on the kang, and smashed it hard on the back of Liu Min's head. When people are forced into desperate situations, they will always show extraordinary courage.

One hit wasn't enough, so she hit him many times until she saw blood and then she calmed down.

She found the key to Liu Min's electric tricycle and drove away.

She almost rushed into the woods several times along the way, but she managed to control herself each time.

"...I went to the police station and told them. They promised to deal with it seriously, but in the end they called my parents over and tried to get us to resolve it privately." Lan Shuang sneered, "Then they beat me up when I left and dragged me into the car by my hair."

When Jiang Lusheng heard this, he could no longer control the murderous intent in him, and his hand holding Lan Shuang trembled slightly.

"And then?"

When he spoke, his voice was unusually hoarse.

Lan Shuang raised her head and touched his lips, whispering, "Later, the car drove onto the bridge, the same bridge where you met me. They probably thought I wouldn't dare run after being beaten like that, but they underestimated me."

She recalled the situation at that time, her eyes were empty.

"I looked at the approaching mountains and felt like they were surrounding me, mocking me for overestimating my own abilities and trying to escape. My future was ruined. If I went back, I would just marry an old bachelor, wait on him and his mother, do the laundry, cook, and raise children. I would be reduced to a soulless, fleshless tool. I couldn't accept that."

She said, "If I hadn't received a good education and hadn't seen the beautiful world, I might have lived my life in ignorance and chaos, and eventually disappeared into the mountains. But now that I've seen the light, how could I possibly be willing to return to darkness?"

Jiang Lusheng hugged her tightly, "So you jumped out of the car?"

"Yes." Lan Shuang suddenly smiled, her eyes full of relief and satisfaction.

"I jumped off the bridge. At that moment, the wind lifted me up, and I felt the taste of freedom for the first time."

Lan Shuang stretched out her hand and grabbed at the air, saying with nostalgia, "I'll never forget that feeling."

"The river was so fierce and cold. I struggled for a long time, but finally gave up."

"Stop talking..." Jiang Lusheng held Lan Shuang's hand, interlocking their fingers tightly, fearing that if he loosened his grip a little, she would disappear from his sight.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Lan Shuang's forehead, then moved down little by little, kissing the tip of her nose and her lips.

"I will also be your light. I will not leave. I will always illuminate your path forward. You will no longer be alone." Jiang Lusheng's voice trembled, even with a subtle pleading tone, "So, don't give up on me, okay?"

Lan Shuang was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? It's all in the past. Later, I joined the Space-Time Administration. I experienced a lot and saw a lot, so I didn't feel that I was suffering anymore. Suffering is the norm in life."

Jiang Lusheng didn't say anything. He rolled around on the big bed with Lan Shuang in his arms and moved to a position close to the window.

Outside the window is the sky ten thousand meters high, the rolling sea of ​​clouds, and the endless blue.

Jiang Lusheng hugged Lan Shuang and sat her up. He hugged her from behind and said softly, "Look, we have come out of the mountains. You can no longer be trapped there. The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. Your future is bright and open."

Lan Shuang looked at the sea of ​​clouds in front of her, felt the warmth behind her, and leaned back with confidence, "No, it's our future."

Jiang Lusheng's eyes were slightly red, "Yes, it's our future."

Lan Shuang turned her face to the side, and in this position, she exchanged a high-altitude kiss with Jiang Lusheng. It was not mixed with lust, nor was it passionate. The two of them entangled gently, comforting each other with each other's warmth.

After kissing enough, the two lay down on the big bed and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Lan Shuang at least got some sleep in the car, but Jiang Lusheng really hadn't had a good sleep in a long time.

I fell asleep after lying down for a while.

Lan Shuang listened to his regular breathing and slowly closed her eyes.

"Xiao Baba, why are you so quiet today?"

888 turned around, sobbing with his eyes as big as two walnuts, "Ah? It's okay."

Lan Shuang was at a loss for words. "Why don't you straighten your tongue and stop shaking it before you speak?"

888: “…”

"Wow, wow, wow—Host, you're so miserable, aren't you? You were only seventeen at that time, so young, like a flower, and you withered just as you bloomed. Why?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't control his tears.

Lan Shuang suddenly felt that implanting human emotions into the system might not be a good thing. What if the child cried to death?

"Okay, okay, don't cry, it's okay, it's all over." Lan Shuang said this countless times.

"Fortunately you are not alone now, and fortunately the adults are here, otherwise hiccup~"

As he was speaking, 888 suddenly burped very loudly.

I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

Lan Shuang pursed her lips, trying to hold back, but still couldn't help it, "Look, I advise you to stop crying, are you hiccuping from crying?"

888 sniffed, turned around and cried even harder.

Lan Shuang comforted 888 for a long time before he calmed down, but because of the embarrassment of hiccups, he refused to speak again.

After making so much noise, Lan Shuang became sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, the plane had landed safely.
