The sunlight crossed the window and fell on Liu Zhixi's face, she hurriedly tidied up and went to the cafeteria on the first floor to have breakfast. Su Huai had already taken his seat, and he said "sunny side up" to the master of the fried eggs. The chef turned her head to look at Liu Zhixi, and she was about to whisper to Su Huai, "What do you want to say about the fully cooked?" Su Huai replied willingly, "over hard".

They walked to their seats with plates, and when they saw Lin Sujin looking at the door, Su Huai smiled and waved his hand, and Lin Sujin nodded lightly. She deliberately put on light makeup today, fresh and natural, as slim as a hibiscus out of water. But the expression on her face was a little depressed, and she took a glass of milk from her glass, sandwiched a piece of toast, and walked towards her seat.

Su Huai patiently taught Liu Zhixi to use knives and forks, but Liu Zhixi, who has always been smart, is a little lacking in hands-on ability, Su Huai demonstrated for a long time, but she is still rusty and clumsy. A burst of suppressed laughter suddenly broke out behind her, Liu Zhixi looked back, and several tall boys were staring at her and Su Huai secretly laughing, laughing at her for being "rustic" and "never seen the world", Liu Zhixi's face instantly turned red because of embarrassment.

"You have the quality to sarcastically mock others?" A familiar voice sounded behind him, not high but unmistakable, not loud but sonorous. It was Leng Jiang, who was casually wearing Nike's latest T-shirt and basketball shoes, staring at the big boys with resolute eyes, and their arrogant momentum was suddenly like a flame.

The nanny car was already parked in front of the hotel and waiting, and Su Huai and the three of them hurriedly finished breakfast and rushed to Chiang Rai by car. The street scene sped by, and before they could see clearly, they disappeared into the depths of the years. The tour guide introduced Thailand's customs and customs in stumbling Chinese, jokingly saying that Lin Sujin and Liu Zhixi were "crystal crystals".

The tour guide told them that there is a famous custom in Thailand called "raising a little ghost", which is made from the corpse of a child who died young, and he is enshrined in his home, and he must be served with red drinks and food every day. "Raising a little ghost" requires luck, and if you serve well the master, you can make steady progress and smooth sailing, if you don't provide for it properly, then you will fall into the fate of being blocked, the wealth is scattered, and the family is ruined. The tour guide was very interested, and listed one by one the anecdotes of celebrities and political bigwigs in Hong Kong and Taiwan who invited "little ghosts".

The air conditioner in the car was turned on very much, Liu Zhixi only felt a tingling in her back, Lin Sujin widened her eyes and listened carefully, as if she was listening to the math teacher explain the exercises. Su Huai gently grabbed Liu Zhixi's shoulder, Liu Zhixi's fluttering heart finally felt some of the warmth of the yang world, her heart softened, and she closed her eyes and greedily enjoyed the joys and colds of the world.

The first stop on their Chiang Rai tour was the White Temple. As soon as he got out of the car, the scorching heat hit his face, and Lin Sujin hurriedly brought Gucci's new sunglasses. Liu Zhixi took out a parasol from her backpack, Su Huai smiled shyly, took out a delicate glasses case, and handed it to Liu Zhixi. She opened the box and saw that there was a pair of glasses of the current popular style, and Su Huai's gentle tone was like a wisp of wind, blowing away the restlessness and uneasiness between her eyebrows.

"These are photochromic lenses that are specifically tailored to your myopia and interpupillary distance. When there is ultraviolet light, the lens color will automatically darken, and when it is in the house, it will become colorless again. Liu Zhixi's heart fluttered, but some indescribable feelings surged up, she put on her glasses, and the hot sunlight seemed to be filtered by a filter, no longer so strong that people couldn't look at it directly.

A silver-white building glittered in the bright sunlight, Liu Zhixi had to marvel at its holiness and beauty, Lin Sujin hid aside to touch up her makeup, and then took a selfie stick and posed elegantly. Liu Zhixi's legs seemed to be unable to move, and her heart was deeply shocked, this was the incomparable scene she had seen in more than ten years, just like a clean heart, quietly blooming in the dirty world, leaving the world independent and clean.

Liu Zhixi's gaze kept editing the fragment of the White Temple, using all her strength to deeply penetrate it into her mind, her heart seemed to be running in a world covered in silver, not feeling tired at all, just admiring the beautiful scenery. Su Huai walked to her side at some point and whispered, "It's beautiful." ”

Liu Zhixi came closer, on both sides of the corridor of the White Temple, stretched out countless struggling silver arms, her heart was poked suddenly, and those most painful memories swept in again, the screams that hit the eardrums, the cries for help, the hands dancing wildly for survival, the momentum hit, there was nowhere to hide, there was no way to escape.

She turned around and pulled Su Huai's hand tightly. Su Huai held her smooth and white jade fingers and pulled her forward, "This bridge is the Nai He Bridge, after passing it, don't think about the past, bravely go to a new life." Liu Zhixi felt that Su Huai's hand had tightened, as if she was afraid that she would escape from the battle, or go back on her word.

After traveling for more than an hour, the three of them met in front of the wishing tree in the White Temple. The tour guide told them that making a wish here was particularly effective. The three of them spent 100 baht each, bought a wishing card and a signature pen at the visitor center, and wrote down their wishes with great interest. Su Huai was tall and hung three silver signs on the tree, and the wishing cards shook in the wind, making a pleasant sound.

Liu Zhixi looked at Su Huai's long back and felt a kind of stability and steadfastness. But in her heart, there is a faint unyielding, and what she pursues may not be stability, but as eager and fierce as a moth to a fire. She is like a poplar in the desert, longing for the moisture of rain and dew, but unwilling to leave the familiar desert in which she lives.

In the museum, known as the "Black Temple", Liu Zhixi opened her eyes wide and carefully observed the specimens of tigers and eagles. The brave king of beasts and the mighty birds of the sky are all lying on the long table at this time for visitors to observe and admire. Liu Zhixi's heart crossed a sadness, did these behemoths who showed off their might when they were alive expect that they would be in such a situation after they died?

She walked slowly out of the museum and sat down in a carriage on the side of the road, which the architect had built to dispel the gloom of "hell". Looking at the flowers competing for beauty on the grass, Liu Zhixi thought in her heart, maybe humility is eternal, just like these obscure little flowers, even if they fail this year, as long as the spring breeze blows and the baptism of nectar, they will be rejuvenated, year after year, and again and again.

"Hey, see you again." A magnetic bass voice came from behind Liu Zhixi, and she smiled back, it was Leng Jiang and his friends. The big boys who mocked her this morning were all smiling politely at the moment, and Leng Jiang and the three of them stood side by side, like four tall oak trees.

Their eyes were full of sincerity, their smiles were clean, and the three boys said to her embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry this morning, but we really don't have bad intentions." Liu Zhixi was a little stunned, she swallowed: "What? Sister-in-law, sister-in-law? Leng Jiang also looked helpless, slapped the boy hard, and scolded, "What nonsense", but there was a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

Su Huai and Lin Sujin walked over, and the four of them said that they wanted to go somewhere else, so they separated from Liu Zhixi. Lin Sujin looked at Leng Jiang's back, stunned, thoughtful. The nanny van arrived at the legendary Blue Temple, where the guide recommended a coconut ice cream worth trying. Su Huai said fluently: "Three coconut ice creams, please", the ice cream seller handed them neatly, and the three of them stood in the shade of the tree, eating sweet and soft ice cream, quenching their thirst and cooling off, each thinking about their own thoughts.

The corners of Su Huai's mouth turned up unconsciously, and he quietly asked Liu Zhixi, "What wish did you make when you were in the White Temple?" Liu Zhixi replied lightly: "Didn't you see the sign when you hung it on the tree?" Su Huai looked at her in a daze, "I didn't look at it, that's your privacy." Liu Zhixi smiled, "Since it's privacy, you still have to ask now?" ”

Su Huai, who has always been calm and steady, scratched his head embarrassedly and did not speak. He wondered again in his heart, why in front of Liu Zhixi, he always couldn't maintain such a mature and wise image in front of others? When he saw Liu Zhixi, he always wanted to be funny, wanted to talk, wanted to find out, asked to understand, he always wanted to stay with her, wanted her to be happy, wanted to protect her, and wanted her to be carefree.

With turquoise waters, brilliant daylight, endless coastline, and the occasional bird-swept sky, Liu Zhixi stands on the golden sands of Pattaya and listens to the song of the surging waves. Lin Sujin rented a large parasol and a deck chair, and wore a one-piece swimsuit, lying on the chair to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Su Huai was particularly interested in snorkeling and followed the professionals to the sea. Liu Zhixi walked alone on the beach, walking slowly, feeling the soft feeling of the sand kissing her ankles, like the feeling of her grandmother touching her forehead when she was a child. Her heart was pumped and hung in the air, the pain was heartbreaking.

Grandma, the dearest grandma, has left her, no one in the world will treat her so well, no one will regard her as a treasure in life, she is alone, wandering in the great earthly world, with no home, and no one knows where the road leads.

Her tears, drops like flying sparks, fell heavily, fell on her skin, and scorched her heart. There is hatred in her heart, but it is not all hatred, there is still an extremely depressed little joy sprouting, she hates Su Qian, hates Su Huai, but accepts and enjoys it contradictory and with peace of mind. Perhaps, what she hates more is herself.

The wind suddenly increased in strength and speed, and the waves crashed violently ashore, making a monstrous sound. When the rainstorm hit, the people on the shore packed their things in panic and took refuge to safety. Liu Zhixi is still immersed in the grief of the past, and she is unaware of it. She stumbled forward, the fierce rain falling on her, and she didn't know it, she saw a light in the light, and in the light was the smiling face of her grandmother, and the light guided her towards the depths of the sea.

A huge wave hit her, and she was so soaked that she barely stood still. Step by step, she staggered and stubbornly stared at the thunderous sky, smiled a bleak smile, and then collapsed to the ground, swept into the whirlpool by the frenzy. She floated and fell in the waves, and the choking sea invaded her nostrils and lungs, and she felt worse than death, but she silently thought in her heart, "If you go, you will be free." She closed her eyes tightly, praying and looking forward to being reunited with her grandmother, and hallucinated to see a figure.

"Zhixi, Zhixi!" Su Huai called softly in her ear, and Liu Zhixi struggled to open her eyes and look around. She was rescued and was lying in the hospital herself. The TV broadcast an English-language news that read, "Man is missing to save girl from drowning." Liu Zhixi struggled to sit up, and asked with a blank face, "I'm still alive?" ”

There was a hint of relief on Su Huai's tired face, and he told her, "Someone rescued you." "What about that man?" Liu Zhixi asked weakly. "He, after he rescued you ashore, disappeared. Now the police are searching for him. Su Huai whispered, not daring to look at Liu Zhixi's eyes.

Lin Sujin came to the ward with a large bag of fruits, she also looked very haggard, and she must have been tossed by Liu Zhixi for a long time. Lin Sujin put down the fruit expressionlessly, and when his eyes swept over Liu Zhixi, Liu Zhixi sensitively felt that there was an ambiguous meaning in it. Lin Sujin stood aside, silent, took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it.

The door of the ward was opened, and the three boys who were with Leng Jiang also came over, their faces were grim, but the conversation with Liu Zhixi was as gentle as possible. Liu Zhixi squeezed out a smile and asked, "What about Leng Jiang?" She wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but the three boys looked embarrassed and stopped talking, Su Huai glanced around, and said with some hesitation: "Yes, it was Leng Jiang who saved you." ”

Liu Zhixi's mind was "buzzing", like a flood and a landslide, leaving only devastation. She staggered out of bed, looking out the window at a vast sea of clouds, beneath which was an endless sea, calm but dangerous. Lin Sujin's gaze was like a blade, carving a face with a knife, and the corners of her mouth showed a disdainful smile. Liu Zhixi didn't care about it, and lay on the windowsill and cried bitterly.

They waited anxiously for a week, and the police intensified their search in the nearby waters, but found nothing. When the date of the tourist visa arrived, they could no longer stay and had to choose to return home. On the plane back from Bangkok International Airport, Liu Zhixi sat by the window, looking at this foreign territory, they were full of anticipation and energy before coming, and when they returned, her life changed again.

The three of them didn't talk the whole time, they all sat in their seats silently, and they didn't even go to the bathroom, each thinking about their own thoughts. After a four-hour voyage, Liu Zhixi's legs stepped on Chinese soil again. She had fantasized many times about the scene when she came back, Leng Jiang's parents would definitely come to the Su family to make a big fuss, or blame all the blame on her, and to her strange and uneasy, everything was fine, as if nothing had happened.

There was no uproar in the school, she was still running normally in her own life, and it seemed that except for her and the three brothers in Leng Jiang, no one remembered that Orange Well Middle School had one less musical student who could play the violin and ukulele.

"Zhixi, Lin Junjie is coming to a concert!" On the first day of the summer vacation, after they received the final exam slip from the school, Su Huai told her excitedly. "Oh." Liu Zhixi replied lightly, looking at "Crazy English" in her hand, "What? Are you unhappy? ”

"No, it's not." Liu Zhixi's heart was full of sadness, and she couldn't help but think of that night, Leng Jiang played the Hawaiian guitar while singing Lin Junjie's "Endless Road", which was just half a year ago, but now the memories are like a lifetime. However, every detail still exists so abruptly and vividly that she can't forget it. That endless road, perhaps a lifetime of pain, can never heal, she set off towards a distant place, leading to an unknown tomorrow, but it is also a one-way street from which there is no turning back.

Su Huai bought a front-row seat close to the stage, and the two of them and Lin Sujin sat next to each other. Lin Sujin was wearing a flowing long dress, her chestnut curls were naturally draped over her shoulders, and her body exuded the smell of Chanel perfume.

On the night of the concert, the open-air stadium was full of people, Singapore's king Lin Junjie sang and danced stage, and the audience was full of neat chorus and crazy screams. Teenagers born in the 90s, there are a few who have not heard Lin Junjie's songs, even backward elements like Liu Zhixi who don't pay much attention to celebrity gossip, are also familiar with his songs under the influence of the surrounding environment.

Every time Lin Junjie sang a lyric, the audience followed the next sentence closely, and the atmosphere was extremely warm, and when it came to the interactive session, Lin Junjie walked off the stage under the protection of the guards. Lin Sujin was so beautiful that even the well-informed Lin Tianwang stopped, Lin Sujin smiled shyly, took the microphone and sang, his voice was like a heavenly sound, shocking everyone. This is the first time Liu Zhixi has heard Lin Sujin sing, she didn't expect that Lin Sujin is not only beautiful and smart, but also so versatile, in contrast, she has a sense of inferiority that she is ashamed of.

Sitting in the car back to Country Garden, Su Huai saw that Liu Zhixi was sullen and always thought of ways to liven up the atmosphere, Lin Sujin smiled at the venue, but Liu Zhixi felt that the corners of her mouth were extremely bitter. She lost her grandmother who depended on her life, and she lost her friends who didn't care about reciprocation, the world is so big, only she is like duckweed, lonely and helpless. She is not a sentimental person like Lin Daiyu, but what happened in the past year has made her lose her original state of mind. However, when she was in prison, she didn't notice it, but when she turned around, there were still people silently guarding and waiting for her.
