Chapter 82 Past and Present Life
Lin Xiaotong carried the bag to the hospital and met many running and noisy children along the way.
The evening sea breeze is warm, making people feel itchy.
Because Xie Yi is recovering from an injury and cannot eat spicy food, Gao Xiulan prepares light dishes and they eat a simple meal in the evening.
Two dishes and one soup, cold-mixed black fungus, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, fish ball soup, and the staple food is rice.
Lin Xiaotong strolled all the way to the hospital. The room where Xie Yi lived was a single room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xie Yi leaning on the bed with his head tilted and looking out the window.
"Mom asked me to bring you some food, eat it while it's hot."
Hearing the voices, Xie Yi turned his head and saw Lin Xiaotong taking the lunch box out of the cloth bag. His eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
"Daughter-in-law...Xiaotong, I can do it myself."
Xie Yi sat up straight and reached out to take the lunch box.
Lin Xiaotong opened the lid of the lunch box and handed it to Xie Yi, then took out a spoon from her bag.
"Can you... do this?"
Lin Xiaotong looked at Xie Yi with suspicion. After all, Xie Yi had injured his shoulder. Could he hold the chopsticks steadily?
"I...I can't. My shoulder still hurts."
Xie Yi pretended to be weak for a second, his hands shaking constantly.
"Okay, okay, sit down."
Lin Xiaotong pushed the thin quilt beside the bed aside, sat down, and started feeding Xie Yi with a spoon while holding the lunch box in her hand.
She had worked part-time in a kindergarten during the summer vacation before, and she was very skilled at feeding children.
Lin Xiaotong first scooped a spoonful of rice and stuffed it into Xie Yi's mouth. One had to fill the stomach before eating vegetables.
She stared at Xie Yi's mouth to prevent her from accidentally stuffing it in the wrong place, which would be embarrassing.
Xie Yi had no choice but to lean forward, open his mouth and bite the spoon, looking into Lin Xiaotong's eyes.
The two were so close that they could hear each other's shallow breathing, entwined with each other.
There was no light in the room, and the light from outside the window was a little dim.
The two of them fed each other, cooperating very well and not a single grain of rice was dropped.
Lin Xiaotong always felt that the breathing of the person opposite her was disturbing her, so she sped up and stuffed another fish ball into Xie Yi's mouth.
After eating several pills in a row, Xie Yi finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted.
"Xiaotong, slow down, I can't hold it in my mouth anymore."
Xie Yi still had two fish balls in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and he looked at Lin Xiaotong who continued to feed him with pitiful eyes.
"Hahaha-"
Looking at Xie Yi like this, Lin Xiaotong couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xie Yi touched the loose hair on his temples and looked at Lin Xiaotong who was smiling happily, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
She was so happy that her eyes narrowed into crescents when she smiled.
Xie Yi always felt that Lin Xiaotong's smile was contagious and made him addicted.
However, when he saw the sunny and cheerful Lin Xiaotong again, he felt a little doubtful.
After all, in his memory, Lin Xiaotong was a classmate of his in the first year of high school and they just sat at the desks in front and behind each other.
Although Lin Xiaotong was an extrovert and cheerful person at that time, there always seemed to be something different in the smile on her face.
…
When she was in high school, Lin Xiaotong was always popular with the girls in her class because she was enthusiastic, confident, and always had a smile on her face.
At that time, Xie Yi was still very surprised why some girls' eyebrows looked free and unrestrained when they smiled.
The two of them didn't actually have much interaction in high school, but they would occasionally meet when they went out to do something together. After all, Lin Xiaotong was also quite skilled.
During a group fight, Lin Xiaotong kicked Xie Yi to save him, and the two almost became sworn brothers.
Later, Xie Yi joined the army and had less contact with his classmates.
Until that day, Xie Yi received a telegram from Lin Xiaotong, saying that she wanted to marry him.
This scared Xie Yi. There was no way his brother could become a wife with whom he could sleep in the same bed.
Xie Yi took leave and rushed back, but he didn't expect to see Lin Xiaotong with a black veil on her arm and a pale face.
Lin Xiaotong looked at Xie Yi with pleading eyes and asked Xie Yi for a favor.
She learned that the military district where Xie Yi was serving at the time was the same as that where Lin's father and mother were serving.
She originally wanted to sign up for the army without telling her aunt and uncle, but she didn't expect the street office to tell her uncle about it.
There was no way her aunt would just watch her sister's only child go and join the army.
After being subjected to her aunt's tearful attack, Lin Xiaotong had to promise that she would not join the army.
She wanted to live for a while where her parents had lived, and of course she would continue to defend the land for which her parents had sacrificed their lives.
So Lin Xiaotong wanted to ask Xie Yi to fake marry her, mainly to go to the army to get a marriage certificate. With this certificate, Lin Xiaotong could enter the military area, and then slowly find a way to stay.
Xie Yi looked at Lin Xiaotong's eyes that no longer had a smile on their faces, thought of her tragic life experience, and finally nodded.
He admired her parents and respected her decision.
Because Xie Yi didn't have a partner at the time, but Xie Yi had only one request, which was that Lin Xiaotong would be nicer to his parents.
Lin Xiaotong nodded in agreement, and the two agreed on a one-year term. During this period, if Xie Yi found someone he liked, he could tear up the agreement at any time.
…
The memories in my mind are like turning pages of a book and returning to the starting point again.
Xie Yi's consciousness was pulled away from memories and returned to reality, and the sky gradually darkened.
After dinner, Lin Xiaotong dozed off unconsciously on the table by the window.
In order to see the expression on Lin Xiaotong's face clearly, Xie Yi had to move closer and look at Lin Xiaotong.
I was so close that I could even see the fine hairs on the person's face.
Xie Yi carefully recalled Lin Xiaotong's appearance and suddenly realized that his brother and fake marriage partner did not look like this.
There was a subtle illusion that made him doubt his own eyes.
Now Lin Xiaotong's eyes are curved when she smiles, and a hint of satisfaction is revealed behind her happy smile.
Did something strange happen while he was away?
Xie Yi's brain was working frantically.
Is she really her?
Or is it that his memory is confused?
This was the only reason he could think of in the end.
…
Lin Xiaotong, who was sleeping by the window, was also not sleeping well, and she entered into a bizarre dream.
But the protagonists this time are Lin Xiaotong and her.
In the dream, she was a ghost, watching from a bystander's perspective how Lin Xiaotong, after learning of his parents' death, resolutely chose to go to the island to join the army, and finally died in an accident.
She floated and floated, and then entered another dream.
She floated and watched Lin Xiaotong queuing up to drink Mengpo soup, and after drinking it, she was kicked into the reincarnation pool.
Because of his parents' merits, he was treated preferentially in his reincarnation and was placed in a family of a young couple with a good relationship. He would have lived a stable and happy life.
But plans can never keep up with changes. When the child was eight months old, the man's investment failed.
He quickly found himself a rich woman, but the woman gave birth prematurely out of grief and anger, and she no longer wanted the child.
After being discharged from the hospital, she quietly left the child at the door of a welfare home with a good reputation. She hid in the dark and waited for the people inside to take the child in. Then she left this sad city in tears.
Lin Xiaotong follows Lin Xiaotong's growth all the way, the familiar welfare home, and the same appearance after growing up...
What is going on!
