Chapter 461: Shadow and Light
Fragments of memory floated, hovering in mid-air, and a montage played out like a movie.
One side is light, the other side is dark, and those fragmentary memories are lined up on both sides of the boundary between light and dark.
On the one hand, Xu Hanbai twisted his face and scolded her, raising his hand to press a cigarette butt on her arm without knowing the severity, and on the other hand, a milk doll that was only five or six years old, was sold into Huamanlou by her biological parents in tow.
On the one hand, in the Yanshan Welfare Institute, Song Shenzhou, who was wearing a white sweater, smiled and stuffed her with a bottle of milk, and on the other hand, Gao Shenghan picked her out in the thin room full of flowers with his hands behind his back, pinching her chin and looking at her teeth.
The two trajectories subtly coincide together, intersecting at a certain point to form the same image.
In the picture, Xu Chunqiu dragged a long dress skirt and lifted the golden actress trophy in the limelight.
She is an idol from the Republic of China, and she is also the youngest queen of the Golden Dragon Shadow, and all kinds of memories on the left and right are her past.
The girl standing in the light took a deep breath, she already had a guess in her heart, but she still blurted out and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"Who are you, and who am I?"
The shadow smiled at the light and calmly: "I am you." ”
The two memories of the same soul a hundred years apart looked each other up and down silently, and they faced each other with the same faces, the one in costume turned into a shadow, and the one in the claw-buttoned coat and small leather boots stood in the light.
They were silent for a long time, only to hear one of them speak first.
Just smiled, as if he had already understood it in his chest: "But no matter what, it is impossible for two Xu Chunqiu to exist at the same time in this world, right?"
She guessed firmly, "Only one of us can get out of this hellish place." ”
What about the other?
Spend the rest of your life in this dark space, and even the flow of time is unaware.
But in the next second, Hikari took a step forward and took the initiative to say, "I'll stay here." ”
"From the moment I was pushed into the pool, I was dead. ”
That being said, Hikari is not completely nostalgic for the world.
At that moment, her mind flashed countless scenes, the blue bay in the air at an altitude of 4,500 meters, the roaring noise and howling wind between the railroad tracks and the platform, the band-aid next to the cutting board, and the steaming bowl of vegetable porridge on the dining table.
The more than ten years of life before meeting Lu Xiu were boring to her, and even the moment she fell into the pool, the last thought in her heart was, is it finally over, and is it finally going to say goodbye to her terrible life?
Until she met Lu Xiu.
She learned what it is to love and be loved, and how to love.
But when she took the first step with her staggering steps, like a squirrel that poked its head out of the hole of a tree in early spring, like a squirrel poking its head out of the hole of a tree, when she finally made up her mind to learn to love the world, she wanted to close herself in this closed space and never see the light of day for the rest of her life.
Even so, she hoped that the shadow in the costume would go out.
If only one of them was destined to walk out, she hoped it would be her.
"I'll stay here," she repeated softly, her fluttering words cutting off the last of her nostalgia, "you go." ”
Compared with Xu Chunqiu in costume, she felt that everything she had now was stolen.
In just five years, she has done so much.
She is the C position on the stage, the darling of the flash, the youngest actress of the Golden Dragon Award, and Lu Xiu's lover.
And what about yourself?
is just an ordinary person struggling in the gloom of the mire, who can't dance, can't sing, has no acting skills, and can't even cook the simplest homely meal.
Who would love her?
She only felt ashamed of herself.
Light felt that although she stood in the light, she was the real, invisible shadow.
Shadow smiled and shook her head, as if she knew what was going on in her heart, "You're just missing a little bit of luck. ”
The shadow took a deep breath, and his thoughts drifted off into the distance.
A lot of times, it's not always good to be pretty.
Shadow had imagined countless times if his little self hadn't been picked up by the head of Yuhua's class at that time.
Maybe it's because of the dust on his face, or maybe it's because of a tooth decay in his mouth, if Gao Shenghan hadn't taken her away from Huamanlou, if the class owner hadn't gone to the brothel next door to pick people, what would he be like if he had lived in Fireworks Willow Lane for more than ten years?
Is it the peach-colored worker who mediates between men with grease and powder, or the yellow-skinned man who freezes to death outside the city gate, and the corpses are frozen and stiff with cold starvation?
Will she ever have another chance to meet Lu Xiu? She didn't dare to continue thinking along this line of thought.
Light listened to the shadow's words and shook his head silently: "This is our difference. ”
Fate was just a small sneeze that sent the same soul, a hundred years apart, on two diametrically opposed paths.
One stood on the three-foot stage and became a famous singer in the Nine Cities at a young age, and the other was curled up in a welfare home, like a rat running from the street, and entered the trainee department of China Entertainment Media in a daze.
The shadow brought by the environment when she was a child is like an appendage, reminding her all the time, making her feel like a fish in her throat.
The light lowered her gaze, her gaze wandering between her toes, and the shadow's spine straightened and took a step in her direction.
"Let's go out together, as long as you believe in me. ”
The pearl above her head swayed, with flamboyant eyebrows and bright lips.
The shadow in the costume gently coaxed, "Do you believe me?
Hikari raised his eyes to look at her in astonishment, they were two memories of the same soul, intertwined in this life and the next.
Let's go out together.
Light straightened his back, step by step towards the shadow, the line between light and dark seemed to have been swallowed up by something, and countless fragments of memory flew and shattered into fine chips, and collapsed like a devastating collapse.
She ran to the shadow with open arms, and the shadow in the costume was equally calm, and she calmly accepted her other self.
The dimly closed space was reduced to powder, there was no light, no shadow, the red torii gate and the autumn colors of the forest once again broke into her eyes, the water of the hand water house gurgled and flowed, and the painted horses decorated with small bells and multicolored ropes swayed in the silent night breeze.
Xu Chunqiu, the only one Xu Chunqiu, opened his eyes.
