Chapter 83 Living
The dead memories suddenly began to attack, and for the first time I looked at my life from the perspective of an outsider.
She suddenly realized that Lin Xiaotong was herself.
In her previous life, she was abandoned at the door of an orphanage and grew up on her own.
She makes all the decisions and bears all the responsibilities for part-time job, study and life by herself.
When she returned to her rented apartment after get off work, no one left a light on or a bowl of hot rice for her.
After all, no matter how good a friend is, she has her own life, so she is always alone when she returns home.
Many people think that Lin Xiaotong always smiles happily. That’s because when others are unhappy, they have their families to comfort them, but she doesn’t.
She knew that no matter whether she was happy or sad, lost or confused, no one cared about her feelings.
In this case, for her own sake, she has to be happy, she can only be happy.
The moment I opened my eyes, I felt fear, guilt, and a hint of anticipation.
She wondered if this opportunity came because she had lived too lonely in the first half of her life, so she was teleported to this compound full of love and fireworks.
The last night of her training stay at the hotel in the 21st century happened to be her birthday.
In the evening, like in previous years, I ordered a takeaway of Black Forest cake for myself.
As she lit the candle, she closed her eyes and made a wish: "I hope I can meet someone who truly loves me. I really want to have a family."
After falling into a deep sleep, Lin Xiaotong accidentally turned back into herself in the 1970s.
And somehow she ended up having a blind date and marrying Xie Yi, so when she woke up she mistakenly thought she had traveled through time.
No matter how fate comes and goes, "she" is still her.
It’s just that Lin Xiaotong now has memories of the next twenty years, and tonight’s dream also brought back memories of the previous eighteen years.
Lin Xiaotong, born in the 21st century, grew up in an orphanage, sharing the love of the director's mother with many other children.
No matter how optimistic and cheerful she is, she will have a side that makes her feel lost unconsciously.
Just like a sunflower growing towards the sun, it only leaves a small shadow for itself.
In the 1970s, Lin Xiaotong had the unique love of her parents and the affection of her aunt and uncle, and her personality was truly cheerful.
So the two of them actually have the same appearance when they are not talking, but they are only 80% similar when they are moving.
When the fragments of memory were put back together, she turned out to be herself.
…
By the time Lin Xiaotong woke up, it was already dark outside.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xie Yi looking at her, and their eyes met.
Neither of them spoke. The room was quiet and it was getting dark.
She stood up and closed the door, then looked out into the corridor and saw no one was there.
"I just had a dream, a very strange dream."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Yi who moved a little closer, his eyes fixed on her, waiting for her to finish.
"What dream?"
She looked back cautiously. It was very quiet and there was no one.
She leaned over and whispered into Xie Yi's ear.
"I really said it, listen carefully."
"Um."
Xie Yi and Lin Xiaotong were too close, and the sound of their gentle breathing was itchy, causing Xie Yi's ears to turn red.
"You'd never guess that I just dreamed of China decades later."
Xie Yi suspected that he had heard it wrongly. He stayed where he was, motionless. The amount of information was too much.
She felt that Xie Yi at this moment was like a husky with wide eyes. She held back her laughter and continued speaking seriously.
"In my dream, both boys and girls can go to school, there is no war, and there is rice to eat every meal."
Xie Yi felt proud as he listened to the other person describing a prosperous, strong and peaceful China in the future.
There is a fire in my chest that seems to be about to burn fiercely.
The future that Lin Xiaotong was talking about was what he, the sacrificed Lin’s father and mother, the Chinese soldiers, and the millions of Chinese sons and daughters on this land of China were fighting for and looking forward to.
Lin Xiaotong glanced at Xie Yi's shoulder wrapped in gauze, then raised her head and continued speaking.
"In my dream, I also dreamed that the college entrance examination would be resumed in the winter of the following year."
"This dream is so real."
Upon hearing the news, Xie Yi and Lin Xiaotong looked at each other.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Thank you Miaomiao?"
When he heard the name, the smile on Xie Yi's lips froze for a moment, and the upturned corners of his mouth turned into a downward parabola.
That’s not right. This is his nickname, and few people know it.
In addition to a few familiar friends in my parents' compound, Lin Xiaotong also found out about this matter by accident.
Because Gao Xiulan gave birth to him long after the due date and still hadn't delivered the baby, Gao Xiulan was anxious, but finally she gave in and just ate and drank as usual.
It was a warm spring day, and she had nothing to do, so she picked up her basket and went with Zhang Dazui and the others to dig wild vegetables nearby.
Gao Xiulan was digging the chubby wild vegetables with great enthusiasm. With a shovel to the left and a shovel to the right, she filled a small basket with them.
After digging tiredly, I sat down and saw the green seedlings in the field, and my heart was filled with joy.
After returning home that morning, Xie Dajiao had no time to drink a sip of water when he got home from get off work at noon.
Gao Xiulan's amniotic fluid broke and she was rushed to the hospital. Xie Yi, the fat boy who loved to make trouble, was born.
At that time, Gao Xiulan gave the ugly Xie Yi the nickname Miaomiao when she was holding him. When Xie Yi was five or six years old, Xie Da Jiao still called him "Miaomiao".
Now the last bit of doubt in Xie Yi's heart was dispelled.
"Who do you think I am? Xie Miaomiao."
She pinched Xie Yi's cheeks with her hands and pulled gently.
"What do you think about our business?"
Xie Yi saw Lin Xiaotong lowering her head, and her black hair was almost blending into the darkness.
Speaking of Lin Xiaotong, she no longer has any pain in her legs, sore waist, or tiredness in her body.
In fact, the happier and more blessed I am after coming here, the more I unconsciously feel like I have stolen something, as if I have robbed someone else's life.
Now, after all the twists and turns, it originally belonged to her.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. It really is so nice to have a complete life of my own!
"Ah, well, let me be frank."
Lin Xiaotong felt that Xie Yi was a nice person. He didn't live at home, so she and her parents-in-law felt comfortable and happy living at home.
Thinking of this, she actually missed the usual hustle and bustle in the compound.
"Do you have someone you like now?"
Xie Yi shook his head, then nodded, looking straight at the person opposite him.
To be honest, he thought Lin Xiaotong was a good person because she was lively and cheerful, just like a sunflower.
It was his luck to meet Lin Xiaotong. His mother was right, he was lucky.
(Gao Xiulan: It’s not my fault, I just said it casually.)
"Then let's get on with our lives, Xiaotong."
Xie Yi stretched out his hand without waiting for Lin Xiaotong to ask the last question.
Are you kidding? He can't let girls take the initiative to speak.
"good."
After saying that, he stood up and shook Xie Yi's hands, one big and one small.
She turned around and saw that it was almost dark outside. She let go of her hand and picked up the bag. Xie Yi helped her cover the lunch box and put it in the bag.
"I want to go back. Mom is waiting for me at home."
After picking up the bag, he stood up and took out the flashlight.
This was put in by Gao Xiulan before she left, and she didn't expect it to come in handy.
"Xiaotong, be careful on the road."
Xie Yi touched the gauze on his shoulder and gave another reminder out of concern.
She strolled to the door, pressed a button, and the light came on. The two of them could clearly see each other's expressions under the light.
"I'll bring you food tomorrow, Comrade Xie."
"Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Xiaolin."
