Chapter 37 A new person
In his previous life, Xin Tianyi was always breaking up with the people around him.
She doesn't dare to love, doesn't dare to possess, because she is afraid of losing.
She was afraid that she couldn't hold on to the people around her, couldn't keep the people around her, was afraid that they loved her, and was even more afraid that they had only loved her.
So when interacting with people, Xin Tianyi is always the first to turn around and leave.
She didn't want to be abandoned again and again. If they had to break up, she wanted to be the one who abandoned the other.
So when Wang Fang mentioned that she wanted to leave and live in another city, Xin Tianyi left without looking back.
Like leaving a cage.
At that time, she was just thinking that as long as she no longer had to live under someone else's roof, no longer had to face her cousin, uncle and aunt, no longer had to face her grandparents, as long as she didn't have to face them, and there was no one around her who knew her and didn't know her past, she could live her life again.
As for her friends, Xin Tianyi had forgotten them because of the joy of leaving and starting over.
Without saying goodbye to them, she packed her luggage and left.
When she came back to see Xie Mei during the summer vacation, Xie Mei was already so ill that she was only breathing her last breath.
Xin Tianyi was pushed into Xie Mei's bedroom, and heard her grandfather Wang Yuxiu say to her, "You came at a coincidence, go and take a look."
Xin Tianyi looked at Wang Yuxiu in confusion, and Wang Yuxiu explained to Xin Tianyi that Wei Ran had passed away and the funeral would be held today.
The sky just fell down that day.
Xin Tianyi was just seventeen years old. She felt that death was still very far away from her age.
Wei Ran was the same age as her, also seventeen. Xin Tianyi had never imagined she would hear such news.
For a moment, Xin Tianyi thought she had misheard, and she repeated the name that she had not called out for a long time.
Wei Ran?
Is it Wei Ran?
Is it Wei Ran who lives in the alley in front of us?
The one who studies first?
Wang Yuxiu looked at her, no emotion visible in his eyes.
Death approaches again and again, and the old man doesn't know what else he can do.
He sat beside Xie Mei's bed, reached out and held Xie Mei's hand, and said to Xin Tianyi: "Yes. You go and take a look."
Xin Tianyi didn't know how he walked out of the house, let alone how he ended up standing at Wei Ran's door.
All those coming in and out were relatives of Wei Ran's family, and Xin Tianyi didn't know most of them.
She stood far away under a tree whose broad leaves she couldn't name.
The only name in her mind was Wei Ran.
Wei Ran, Wei Ran.
For a moment, Xin Tianyi couldn't remember what Wei Ran looked like. He only remembered his glasses and his habitual action of supporting his eyes with his fingers.
Xin Tianyi stood under the tree, his legs shaking.
Until she saw Yuan Dabao.
Yuan Dabao had lost a lot of weight. He walked over from a distance and then stood at the door, motionless.
Xin Tianyi wanted to call him, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't call out Yuan Dabao's name.
Later, Xin Tianyi saw Zhang Yang again.
Zhang Yang seemed to have seen her as well, and his eyes swept across Xin Tianyi's face, as if he didn't recognize her.
After turning his eyes away, he did not speak to Yuan Dabao, and the two of them kept their distance from each other.
It’s as if no one knows each other.
It was a hot and cloudy day.
It was very dry and it looked like it was going to rain, with dark clouds hanging low.
There were cries coming from Wei Ran's house from time to time, and Xin Tianyi couldn't tell whose voice it was.
She could only stand under the tree and stare at it all, like a dream.
The crying sounded miserable, but Xin Tianyi always felt that nothing was real.
I must be dreaming.
I must be dreaming.
Since you are dreaming, wake up quickly.
Right now! Right now!
It’s so painful!
She wanted to go see Wei Ran's mother, sister, and father, but Xin Tianyi couldn't move at all.
Until she saw Zhang Yang's eyes.
Those eyes were red, filled with pain, helplessness and regret.
The three of them were standing at the door of Wei Ran's house.
Each one stands in his own position.
No one said a word.
Until Wei Ran's sister came out of the house dressed in black, crying all over the place.
…
Later, Xin Tianyi stumbled back home, and Wang Yuxiu told her the reason why Wei Ran left.
Although Wei Ran was admitted to a normal school, he spent more time sick than healthy in a year.
Especially in winter, if there is someone in the class who has a cold, he will be infected immediately.
The teacher said that he was a good student, with good grades and hard work, but his health was too poor.
Wei Ran was determined to exercise well, but he tried many sports and had no interest in them, nor could he stick to them, until he came into contact with swimming.
Wei Ran had been swimming for half a year, but when he came back from summer vacation, he found that there was no swimming pool near his home.
A few days ago, he went to a small pond nearby, saying he had nothing better to do and wanted to go for a swim. That pond was always popular with people swimming in the summer, enjoying the cool breeze, and there had never been any problems. The pond was also very shallow.
But after he went down, he never came back up.
…
"I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?"
Wang Fang pulled Xin Tianyi back from the grief of his previous life.
Xin Tianyi looked at Wang Fang in confusion, and suddenly said, "I'm going for a run."
"Ah?" Wang Fang thought the child was stupid. He was talking fine, but suddenly he wanted to go running.
Wang Fang quickly said, "Wait until the sun goes down. Look how dark you are."
"How healthy." Xin Tianyi smiled and ran out of the house.
She ran to Wei Ran's rear window and shouted inside, "Wei Ran, do you want to come out for a run?"
Wei Ran heard Xin Tianyi calling him and got up from the bed.
He stood on the bed and could just see Xin Tianyi through the window.
"Do you want to run?" Wei Ran asked.
"You can walk a little bit," Xin Tianyi said. "You can sweat a little bit. Sweating is the best thing in the summer."
"Okay." Wei Ran raised his lips, "I'll be out right away."
"I'll be waiting for you at your door." Xin Tianyi said loudly, "Don't forget to change into your sneakers."
Xin Tianyi was waiting at the door of Wei Ran's house. When the door opened, it was not Wei Ran who came out, but Wei Ran's elder sister, Wei Meng.
Wei Meng and Wei Ran look a bit similar, both are short and weak.
Seeing Wei Ran at the door, he smiled and asked, "Are you looking for Wei Ran?"
"Yeah. Big sister, what are you going to do?"
"I'm working the night shift today," said Wei Meng.
Wei Meng saw Xin Tianyi wearing sneakers and asked, "Are you guys going for a run?"
"Yeah." Xin Tianyi said, "Sweat a little. Get some exercise."
"Thanks to you." Wei Meng stroked Xin Tianyi's short hair. "Wei Ran has been getting better and better recently. He's not sick anymore and he's become stronger. He eats more too. He's like a completely different person."
"As long as he's healthy," Xin Tianyi said, "I'll call Dabao later. He should also move more and lose some belly fat."
Wei Meng nodded and smiled, said goodbye to Xin Tianyi, and went to the textile factory.
Wei Ran also changed his clothes and came out of the house. When he saw Xin Tianyi, he lifted his foot and said to Xin Tianyi, "Look at my new running shoes. My eldest sister bought them for me."
