Chapter 1 Prelude

Walking alone on the edge of Yan Lake, Zhuo Zhuo suddenly felt empty in his heart, and the lotus flowers on the lake did not have the grace of the past, and they all hung their heads. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info lost the desire to continue walking, and sat down on the stones by the lake and looked up at the dark night sky. Thoughts are flying.

............

On a sunny afternoon, an octogenarian, the old director of the Love Orphanage, sat on the recliner with a happy face, a little boy and a little girl on the left and right, seriously helping him hammer his legs.

The old man asked lovingly as he looked at the six-year-old boy to his left, who was seriously hammering his legs. "Little Excellence, do you know what 'excellence' means?"

"What do you mean?" the little boy was plainly dressed, but he was beautiful in appearance, and his eyes were bright, and he looked like a smart and hardworking child.

"Excellence means excellent, outstanding. The old man looked at the little boy with a look in his eyes that seemed to be expecting something.

"Then grandpa, why does my brother mean excellence?" The little girl on the right raised her head to look at her grandfather, her big eyes sparkling and very cute.

"Why, grandpa!" the boy asked, looking up at his grandfather with a serious face.

"One night six years ago, you and your little cutie came to our love orphanage on the same night, and you have not cried or made a fuss. Until the next day, you were quiet. So I thought, 'This child has not cried or made a fuss since yesterday, and he is white and tender, and he must be an excellent person in the future, so I named you Excellence.' The old man's loving eyes revealed a vicissitudes of life, "You must become an outstanding person, now and in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Excellence is excellent, Brother Excellence is the first in the school in this exam!" A cute little girl next to her looked at Excellence with admiration on her face.

"Then why is the little cutie called cute? Is it because the little cutie looks cute?" Xiao Zhuo asked with a serious face, and the little girl next to him also looked at the old man expectantly.

"Of course. The cutie was very cute then, and she is very cute now, and she will get more and more cute in the future. The old man lovingly touched the little girl's head.

This kind old man has dedicated all his efforts to the orphanage, and countless homeless orphans have grown up happily in this humble orphanage, receiving a good education in the private school next door. It is said that the owners of the private interest school next door are orphans adopted by the old man in the early years. It's just that the old man never allowed the child who left the orphanage to return to the orphanage to see him when he was an adult. But there are still many people like this school trustee who quietly support this small orphanage. Otherwise, the elderly without income would not be able to support the entire orphanage.

The elderly have adopted many orphans in their lives, and the elderly have given a lot of care to every child who enters the orphanage. It's just that among so many orphans, the two brothers and sisters are the most favored. The old people are better to them than their own children. The excellent brothers and sisters also have a very deep affection for the elderly, and it can be said that the elderly are one of the most important people in the life of the excellence.

But the old man left forever when his brother and sister were eighteen years old. At the age of 93, it can be regarded as the end of his life, and the old man is very peaceful when he leaves.

Since then, whenever he looks up at the starry sky, he will always think of the old man's kind smiling face.

............

He vividly remembers the night of his eighteenth birthday, when his grandfather took the hands of his brother and sister and said:

"Xiao Yue, little cutie, after today, you will be an adult, you can take care of yourself, and grandpa is also relieved!"

"Grandpa, grandpa, don't you want us?" said the cutie as she looked at her grandfather nervously.

"Why, you will always be my grandchildren. But grandpa is old, and he doesn't know that day he will go! So, you have to learn to take care of yourself. Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Zhuo Zhuo, "Especially you, as an elder brother, you must take care of your younger sister." ”

"Grandpa will definitely live a long life, and I will definitely take care of the little cutie. Excellence looked at his grandfather with a serious face and replied......

As a result, the grandfather never woke up the next day, and Excellence lost one of his most important loved ones. Then the orphanage was disbanded, and the home where he grew up was gone. Only my sister is left to rely on each other. During that period of time, I had a very painful time, not only to endure the pain of my grandfather's death, but also to take care of my sister who was also in pain, but fortunately, I still had my sister by my side to comfort each other. It wasn't until later that Excellence and his sister were admitted to the same key university, and the situation began to improve, and the younger sister chose to major in ancient literature in college, while Excellence was a history major.

The university years after that were the happiest years of excellence. and their sister are dependent on each other to accompany each other through the pain of losing their relatives and home, and similar professional hobbies have further developed the relationship between the two.

......

Thinking of this, the corners of Excellence's mouth showed a hint of happiness again. Those years can be said to be the happiest time for excellence, studying and living with my beloved every day. Although life is not rich, it is sufficient. Excellence thought that was the life he wanted. For the sake of this ordinary and happy life, Excellence even suppressed his interest in 'curiosity about the unknown', and even rarely went to the history museum that he liked to go to since he was a child, just to have more time to accompany this happiness.

Unfortunately, happiness is always short-lived, and everything starts to change after college, after graduate school. My sister is busy studying, leaving early and returning late every day, and the two spend less time together. Excellence didn't think much about it, but devoted his spare time to the study of history that he liked, and Excellence liked the endless mysteries in history the most. Historical mysteries are always fascinating, always attracting excellence to devote themselves to and ignore the changes around them.

It wasn't until this morning that Excellence discovered that everything had changed.

............

The cuteness who didn't return overnight returned to the rental house for the two early in the morning.

"I have something to tell you. "Lovely said standing in the doorway of the remarkable room.

"Say it!" replied Excellence as he got dressed.

"Look at me!" the cute tone became serious.

"Okay, my little cutie. Excellence stopped what he was doing, walked over and put his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her.

"I'm leaving!" Cute looked at Excellence, her eyes flashing with all kinds of inexplicable colors.

"Where are you going, are you going to go out? You wait for me, I'll go pack my things. Anyway, we haven't been out in a long time. Excellence said as he went back to pack his things.

"I mean, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm going abroad, I'm getting married, I'm not coming back!"

Excellence froze there for an instant, and after a while, Excellence slowly turned around and asked with a face full of disbelief:

"What??You're going to marry someone else?What are you kidding?We're ............."

"What are we? We broke up! I always thought that you would be as remarkable as your name. But now, look at the place where we live? You have the power to change, I know how good you are, and if you want to do it, you can improve our lives countless times over. But you are doing nothing but research or research. Why can't you just pursue a little bit and think about what kind of life we should live? I can't wait. And he is very good and loves me, he cares about me very much, knows what I want, I think he will be a good husband, so I want to accompany him abroad to get married. He is an overseas Chinese and is also very good. The lovely tone ranges from hysterical to calm.

Excellence stayed there completely. By the time she came back to her senses, it was already dark, and Lovely didn't know when she was gone, and there was no trace of her in the house except for a calling card. After seven years, Excellence once again lost its last loved one, and there was nothing left at all.

............

Thinking back to this scene in the morning, Excellence can't help but think, "What is life?"

'Is ordinary happiness the life I want?' or is chasing my dreams and working hard to live?' Excellence looked at the sky and fell into deep thought.

Although the ordinary and happy life is happy, the heart of excellence is actually not happy, it is obtained by suppressing one's own interests, and it is not the life that excellence wants. Neither is it to study your favorite history all day, although the unknown is your interest, but the addiction to all day is the result of being dominated by desire. Pursuing money and power like the social elite is not what excellence wants. Giving his life to charity like my grandfather was willing to do that, but that wasn't the ultimate interest. To pursue the future of mankind, to pursue social justice, to pursue glory, and to attract attention......

Excellence was full of thoughts for a while, thinking about all kinds of life, trying to find his own way.

At this moment, a little starlight flashed in the dark night sky, and a flash of inspiration flashed in the mind of Excellence. Excellence instantly grasps something, and true life is a kind of heart without dust. Not changed by external objects, nor swayed by desires.

Excellence straightened his clothes and stood up, looking at the calm surface of the lake, feeling that all the dust was gone, as calm as this lake. Zhuo Zhuo raised his leg and just wanted to leave, when he suddenly felt someone retreat from him, and the whole person fell into the lake.

Excellence was just about to show his unparalleled swimming skills, when suddenly a suction force came from the bottom of the lake and sucked him down, no matter how desperately he struggled, it had no effect. A little by little is sucked to the bottom of the lake. Due to the constant struggle, Excellence soon ran out of oxygen, consciousness began to blur, and before losing consciousness, Excellence only felt as if he had grabbed something, and heard someone on the shore shouting "Call the police, someone can't think of jumping down." This was followed by the sound of falling water.

At the last moment of losing consciousness, Excellence grabbed a silver ball of light lying quietly at the bottom of the lake, and was sucked in. When everyone went into the water to search and rescue, they turned over the entire lake and did not find even a single figure.

Since then, the Yanhu suicide case has become an unsolved case. If it weren't for the dozens of people who swore that they really saw someone jump into the lake, maybe someone would have been arrested and put in a mental hospital. It's just that no one cares, and there is a person named Remarkable who has disappeared from this planet.
