Lu Tianyou, it’s nice to see you in person.
I'm almost on the plane when you read this letter. Thank you very much for your care during this period. I'm leaving here and going to a place that's more suitable for me. I didn't fall asleep that night. I heard you and what you said...
But I want to say that no matter whether it is Han Lie, Lu Yunhang, or even you or Xiao Rang, I don’t think they are the good people I want. The live broadcast is like a thorn in my heart. I really don’t want to doubt my boyfriend or my friends in the future! I am leaving and will go abroad to study for the time being. I don’t want to care about other things now. We are friends and will always be. I hope you can be happy in the future...
Signed by Rong Si.
Lu Tianyou, holding the piece of paper tightly, chased all the way to the airport. He searched around and around but couldn't find Rong Si. The dull pain in his chest became more and more severe. Finally, his eyes went dark and he fainted at the airport.
When he woke up again, he actually saw Lu Yunhang in military uniform sitting in front of his bed. When he saw him, Lu Tianyou immediately ignored his injuries, sat up quickly, and said with a look of panic, "Brother, Rongrong is missing, brother, you should go find her, bring her back, she said she is going abroad, but the five of them don't understand anything, they can't even speak clearly, how can this be possible? Brother, I beg you, please go find Rongrong and bring her back, okay? Please go find her and bring her back, okay? I will watch over Arang and keep an eye on her, so that he won't cause trouble for her, brother, please let Rongrong come back, please let Rongrong come back..."
Hearing his brother's words, Lu Yunhang slowly put down the knife he was using to peel the apple for him and slowly raised his head, "Tianyou... tell me the truth, are you in love with Rongrong?"
God knows how much effort Lu Yunhang put into asking such a question. If it was Xiao Rang or Han Lie, he would have fought for it, but Tianyou was his younger brother. They had depended on each other since childhood and they could even have telepathy with each other. He was the closest person to him.
How should he choose
He thought he had made real achievements in the army. He trained very hard, even surpassing his instructor in the past year, all for the sake of protecting Rongrong and holding her hand firmly. But what about now
Tianyou's look seemed to have had his foundation pulled out. What should he do? His own brother fell in love with the girl he loved most
After hearing what Lu Yunhang said, Lu Tianyou slowly lowered his head and spoke after a long time, "Brother, I'm sorry..."
"No, you don't have to say sorry. I should have understood it earlier. We tend to like the same things since we were young. You have been with Rongrong for the past year, so it is normal for you to like her. I heard that she applied to a university in the UK. I will go find her, and I don't mind you going to find her. Anyway, no matter who finds her first, or who the other party chooses, I am willing to accept it..."
"elder brother… "
"You should have a good rest. I need to go back to the barracks tonight. I bought a plane ticket for a week later. When you get well, we can go together."
"Thanks… "
"We are brothers, aren't we?"
At the same time, Xiao Rang was waiting for her at the gate of the university in the UK that Rong Si applied to.
We waited from morning till late at night, and from late at night till the next morning.
The smile on his face also changed from the confident look at the beginning to the expressionless look now.
"Rong Si..."
She did not show up.
Not only that, for the next week, Xiao Rang didn't find a Chinese girl named Rong Si in this school.
At this time, the two Lu brothers, with Han Lie who had just finished the college entrance examination and was "released from prison", came over excitedly, and what they saw was Xiao Rang's cold and dark face.
"Why are you here?"
"Is this important? Rong Si is missing... I've been investigating for a week. She and her family didn't come to the UK a week ago. The application to the school is true, and it's also true that the school here accepted her. But she gave up everything and disappeared. She's hiding from us, and I don't know where she went. Do you have any clues?"
After Xiao Rang finished his analysis calmly, Lu Yunhang took two steps forward and grabbed the man by the collar. "What clues are you asking us for? If it weren't for you, would she have gone to such great lengths to hide for more than a year? No, Rang, why are you..."
Why is it so light
After dragging Xiao Rang out of the shadows, Lu Yunhang and the other two were able to see Xiao Rang's current appearance. His cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were dark, his lips were chapped, and his body was dirty like a homeless person found everywhere on the street. His face was pale, but his lips were a sickly red.
"what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. Do you have any clues? I need clues so I can think now."
"You haven't eaten anything for a whole week?"
"I ate the bread..."
Xiao Rang brushed away Lu Yunhang's arms and turned to look in the direction of Lu Tianyou. "Rong Si was with you before she left. Did she leave anything for you..."
The three of them looked at the four packaging bags behind him. In seven whole days, he only ate four bags of bread. He was crazy, insane.
"Xiao Rang, do you know that you are looking for death?" Lu Yunhang scolded loudly.
"It's not your turn to point fingers at me. Lu Tianyou, did Rong Si leave anything for you?"
"I… "
"Tianyou, ignore him, he's crazy." Han Lie took a step forward and grabbed Xiao Rang's collar. "You're crazy, do you know that? Does Rong Si know that you're like this? Ah? Who are you torturing? You are both a human and a ghost. What did Xiao Rang calculate? Who is the reason why Rong Si left and hid from us? Because of you! It was you who induced us to tease Rong Si with the live broadcast, it was you who said that you would never reveal the live broadcast in front of Rong Si, and it was you who actually revealed the news in the end. What are you doing now, looking like you're dying? If you are a man, go eat a good meal right now, then have a good sleep right away, and then go find her with us, instead of acting like a coward and acting pathetically here."
Han Lie casually swung his hand, and Xiao Rang fell to the ground easily. He tried to get up with his hands on the ground, but he couldn't sit up after trying several times. Finally, he lay on the ground and looked in the direction of Lu Tianyou, "I know Rong Si must have left something for you. Show it to me, so that I can analyze where she went. Lu Tianyou..."
After saying the last word, Xiao Rang's eyes turned red instantly, but he still stared at Lu Tianyou who was standing beside him.
"In fact, she just left me a letter saying that she still cares about the live broadcast. None of the four of us is suitable for her. She will not consider these things for the time being and will go to study abroad first."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Rang looked at the gloomy sky of England and laughed, "Study... I won't consider it for now. She probably won't find a boyfriend in the next four years of college. I have four years..."
After saying that, Xiao Rang fell asleep due to extreme fatigue.
In the following years, Xiao Rang completely depressed his aunt and uncle. When they saw him, they would only smile and have no other expression. Then he used his free time to travel around the world.
Lu Yunhang was successfully promoted in the military camp, but because the camp management was too strict, he did not have much time to go abroad.
Lu Tianyou spent all day and night abroad. His health was not good because he fainted at the airport on the day Rong Si left. He didn't know how long he could live. He could just drag out this congenital deficiency symptom for now. It wouldn't kill him anyway. Now that he had found Rong Si, he probably didn't have the courage to walk up to her.
Han Lie had just started to enter the military camp. After all, the Han family had more connections in the military than the Lu family. Lu Yunhang might still need to work hard, but Han Lie didn't need to at all. Once he entered the military camp, he also had no time to look for Rong Si.
At this point, Rong Si had been missing for four years.
However, none of the four people had any intention of giving up and they kept searching.
This day, it is still Britain.
Lu Tianyou, who was sitting in a corner cafe drinking, had just turned on his phone and was about to draw something casually when a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Hello, a latte."
Lu Tianyou turned his head suddenly and happened to see Rong Si, who was wearing a camel coat and smiling, taking the coffee in the sunset.
"Rong Si..."
He didn't even care about his computer. He rushed forward, grabbed the other person's arm, and then took her into his arms.
"Rong Si!"
The woman holding the coffee was obviously stunned for a moment. After the other party loosened her arms, she looked over and said, "Lu Tianyou? What a coincidence..."
The woman smiled gently.
The same face, the same curve, but Lu Tianyou suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was so strange.
The two sat face to face, and Rong Si spoke first.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here to travel or study? I often come here to buy coffee, but I didn't expect to run into you today."
The woman opposite smiled calmly, yet looked so strange.
"Have you been in England all the time?" Lu Tianyou hesitated for a while before looking up and asking.
"Well, I spent two years in Greece, returned to China for a year, and came to England for the last year. I guess I learned a lot from all over. How about you?"
“I just came here last month.”
"Oh, the environment here is nice, but the weather changes a lot. My sister has never been used to it and has been clamoring to go back to her country and not stay here."
"Yeah?"
After saying that, they both fell silent.
"I… "
"I… "
"Go ahead."
Lu Tianyou silently swallowed back the words "We have been looking for you for four years" and said politely.
"Well, I'm getting married next month and I don't have many friends here. If you are free then you can come and visit me." As she said that, the woman placed the pink invitation on the table and stood up to walk out.
Lu Tianyou looked at the invitation in front of him and felt a little unreal for a moment. It was just unreal. He didn't feel sad or grief-stricken. He even felt a little indifferent, as if he saw that a high school classmate with whom he had no connection before was getting married.
He even felt that the person just now was not Rongrong at all. He didn't know who it was. He felt that he had not found Rongrong yet.
After a long time, Lu Tianyou picked up the invitation and called the phone number in China.
"Brother, I found it, Rongrong."
During this period, Lu Tianyou paused because he was always in doubt.
That woman was not Rong Si, at least not the Rong Si he knew.
The day after the call was made, Lu Yunhang, Xiao Rang and Han Lie arrived in the UK one after another. After listening to Lu Tianyou's words, they all fell silent.
But because I didn't know Rong Si's current address, I could only go to the hall where the wedding was held in advance and wait.
Almost on the third day before the wedding, Rong Si and her fiancé arrived. He was a tall Chinese-British mixed-race man with a very bright smile. When he heard that these people were his fiancée's classmates, he immediately gave them space.
Looking at the woman in front of them with a bright smile, the other three suddenly understood what Lu Tianyou meant by "strange".
It was indeed a stranger, but the heart could not deceive people. The woman that made their hearts beat was not the one in front of them.
Looking at the four men in front of her, Rong Si couldn't help but admire the woman from the bottom of her heart. She took a sip of hot drink, with a faint smile still on her lips.
"I think my wedding should be in three days. I'm really flattered that you guys came so early!"
As soon as Rong Si opened her mouth, Xiao Rang suddenly recalled a previous conversation he had with Rong Si.
"No, I told you not to find it and you can't find it, why don't you try?"
He still remembers Rong Si's confident smile at that time.
She said he couldn't find it...
Xiao Rang was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly looked up at the woman in front of him and grabbed her wrist. "Where did she go? Where did she go?"
Hearing this, Rong Si raised her eyebrows. Is Xiao Rang really the wisest of the four-member group? He reacted so quickly...
"I have no idea."
"How could you not know? You two share the same body, how could you not know? When did she show up? During the car race, or when she fell into the water, or was she already there before the live broadcast? It was she who saved me when I was a child, not you, right? No wonder I felt something was wrong when she first showed up. Will she show up again in the future?"
It seems that this person regards the woman as another personality that has split out of her.
"She said she was gone and would never come back."
"you are lying!"
Xiao Rang rushed forward and grabbed the woman's neck. "You are lying. Where can she go? She has the same body as you. Where can she go? Let her come out to see me. Let her come out!"
"Hey!" The fiancé, who was discussing the decoration with others in the church, rushed out immediately when he saw this scene and pushed Xiao Rang away.
Rong Si finally had a chance to catch her breath, "She's gone and she won't come out again. I don't know where she went. She doesn't like this place, she doesn't like you, why should she stay? She's already died once... Hehe... Oh, by the way, she asked me to leave a message for you, saying there's a reward for finding her. As for what the reward is, I don't know. I can't afford to invite a guest like you. Please come back immediately, or I'll call the police."
Xiao Rang looked at the woman in front of him with red eyes. She had the appearance of Rong Si but was completely different from her. Finally, he turned around and walked out.
On the wedding day, the four of them attended the wedding ceremony together.
But where was Rong Si? Rong Si was gone. Who was the woman with a happy smile on her face? They didn't know her. The person they were familiar with was gone. She could no longer be found in heaven or on earth. No one knew where she had gone. No one knew if she would appear again. They seemed to have been possessed by an illusory figure. That person took their hearts away, but they could not find her anywhere.
But, how can a person live without a heart
After the wedding, the four of them had the same absurd dream almost at the same time. In the dream, Rong Si was always so dusty and had a silly smile. She was extremely friendly with them. She first slept with Arang and then seemed to be slightly attracted to Alie.
They were sure that it was Rong Si, the Rong Si they were looking for, but in the dream they not only teased her, laughed at her, humiliated her, but even forced her to death...
On a moonlit night, she came to the school's Weiming Lake alone and jumped in. She struggled with her hands, trying to call for help, but in the end no sound came out. The four of them seemed to be trapped in place, unable to move forward, and watched the person sink in pain.
Rong Si, Rong Si...
Yes, if Rong Si had been even slightly moved when they were pursuing her, and Arang couldn't remember her and her appearance didn't change, she would most likely have ended up like this.
So what does this mean? Is this something from a previous life? Something that Rong Si had experienced before
It was them. They were the ones who forced Rong Si to death in the previous life. That’s why she has never been tempted by them. And now they have disappeared without a trace... Is this retribution
After waking up from the extremely realistic dream, the four of them had the illusion that they didn't know what day it was.
Almost the next day after having the dream, Lu Tianyou entered the ward.
After he was released from the ward, he returned to his home country and never left the country again. He passed away after living for almost ten years due to health reasons.
The dead are dead, but the living are still suffering.
Lu Yunhang and Han Lie never got married in their lives, and they also never left the country. Whenever they had free time, they would go to the small villa by the lake left by Han Lie's grandfather and sit there, discussing the scene when Rong Si came out in a silly way wearing a shirt, and the firefly cave that she marveled at.
The scenery is still there, but the people are gone.
As they discussed, they often fell silent at the same time and smiled at the calm lake.
Xiao Rangze has been traveling abroad all year round. Yes, he doesn't accept his fate. Why should he accept his fate? That person said Rong Si was missing. Should he believe it? He wouldn't believe it. Since he did something wrong to her, he must find her and make it up to her.
Even if there is a vast sea of people, even if it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, as long as he is alive for one second, he will look for one second. Unless his life comes to an end, he will never give up!
Many years later, the last painting of the young painter Lu Tianyou, who had passed away many years ago, was finally unveiled.
The painting shows a girl sitting and looking up at the starry sky. Her face cannot be seen clearly, but her eyes as bright as stars immediately attract everyone's attention.
Later it was pointed out that the stars in the painting were not real stars, but more like fireflies.
Yes, it was those fireflies that the five of them planned to watch together that night.
The name of the painting is lost forever.
