The boarding time for the flight to Vancouver was 8:30 in the morning. After An Luo arrived at the airport, he sent Anze a text message, and then went directly to the security check and sat at the boarding area to wait.
There are many foreigners in the waiting area at the boarding gate of the international flight. There are a few young people sitting next to An Luo, who are whispering in French, probably because the travelers are going home. The expressions on their faces look like quite pleasant.
An Luo has lived in Canada for a few years. At first, there were mainly immigrants from the United Kingdom and France. Therefore, a cultural confrontation between English and French has also formed. English and French are the two most frequently used languages in Canada. An Luo's English is very good, but he doesn't understand French at all. Hearing a few people around him happily chatting in French, An Luo just felt at a loss.
But it doesn't matter, compared to other countries, Canada is already the easiest place for An Luo to adapt.
There are still more than ten minutes before the boarding time. An Luo took out his mobile phone to read the news when he was bored. When he turned on the screen, he found a line of unread text messages from An Ze that popped up in front of him, with four words: "Safe journey."
Like himself, he didn't say goodbye, let alone long-winded, and only used the shortest words to make the final goodbye.
That's fine.
A simple goodbye and it's all over.
Finally, I can start a new An Luo and start a peaceful life just like I thought when I was reborn. It's just that An Luo doesn't know why he is not happy at all when he is about to fulfill his wish
An Luo looked at the text message and was silent for a long time, and finally did not reply. Wanting to turn off the phone, the ringtone suddenly rang, it was from An Yang.
An Luo picked up the phone and heard An Yang's eager voice, "An Luo, where are you?"
He was probably making a phone call on the street, and the surrounding environment sounded a little noisy. An Luo frowned and said in a low voice, "I'm at the airport."
"What? Airport?! You can't go now, An Luo..."
"All passengers, please note that the ca1206 flight to Vancouver is now boarding. Please take your belongings and line up at gate a7 to board the plane. I wish you a pleasant journey."
There was a sudden notification of flight boarding on the radio. An Luo took the phone away from his ear and looked up at the number on the electronic clock. It was 8:30 for the boarding time, and the surrounding passengers all got up and went to the check-in counter to line up. .
An Luo took the phone to his ear again and whispered to the other end: "Sorry, An Yang, I have decided to go abroad and start a new life. Everything here has nothing to do with me."
"An Luo..."
“ladies And Gentlemen, may I Have Your Attention Pleast…”
The boarding prompt in English came again on the broadcast, An Luo no longer hesitated, hung up the phone and walked to the boarding area with his suitcase.
After getting on the plane, An Luo found his seat, put away the suitcase he was carrying, and then sat down and fastened his seat belt carefully. The surroundings were gradually filled with passengers, and the beautiful flight attendant began to check each seat. An Luo turned on his mobile phone and saw three consecutive missed calls from An Yang. The flight attendant happened to walk to An Luo's seat and said with a smile, "Sir, the plane It's going to take off soon, please turn off your phone."
An Luo nodded, turned off the phone and put it in his pocket. Now that he has decided to leave, he doesn't want to drag things around anymore. An Yang's call is just to ask him to help the police. In this city, no one really wants him to stay.
After a period of preparation, the plane finally slowly slipped out of the channel and took off into the air.
In an instant, An Luo's mind suddenly flashed the scene of that year—
The terrifying flames swept through like a raging beast. The heart-piercing screams of the surrounding passengers pierced the eardrums. The entire cabin was in chaos. An Luo even saw a young woman in front of him being swallowed by the flames. , with fire on his body, his hands are still desperately struggling to the death...
"Xiao Luo, it's actually pretty good for us to die together like this."
"elder brother… "
An Luo's fingers grabbed the shirt on his chest, and the moment the plane took off again, he actually clearly remembered that scene! The fear buried in the bottom of my heart, like a beast breaking out of a cage, instantly emerged from the bottom of my heart!
It was terrible, the unpleasant smell of the human body being scorched by the fire filled the nostrils, the pictures of those people struggling desperately in the fire, the hideous faces and the piercing screams, it was a horrible purgatory on earth!
When I was there, all the memories of the plane crash suddenly appeared in my mind—
After being swept away by the fire, An Luo felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, an indescribably strange world.
An Yang's familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "I have heard a rumor that when everyone dies, their body loses 21 grams of weight. Scientists say that 21 grams is the water lost when life stops running. People say that 21 grams is actually our human soul."
"… "
"Xiao Luo, you said, if we stand on the electronic scale to measure the body weight, is it 21 grams?" An Yang's voice was with a shallow smile, that's how he is, no matter what the situation is , and can tell funny jokes that make people laugh and cry.
An Luo said with a cold face; "Brother, stop joking."
An Yang looked back at him, "what's the matter? You don't seem very happy?"
"...I never thought that humans would have a soul. I thought that death would end everything."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Maybe we will be reincarnated later, we won't remember anything in the future, and everything in this life is over." An Yang seemed to remember something, and asked again, "By the way, Xiao Luo , did you have something to say to me just now?"
"… No."
The sentence I love you that I haven't had time to say, An Luo can never say it again.
An Yang didn't notice anything unusual about his younger brother. He looked at the unfamiliar souls in the distance, and suddenly said with emotion: "Actually, I'm a little curious. I don't know if I can see Zihang in this world."
"Zihang?" An Luo was silent for a moment, "Maybe he has already been reincarnated."
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"An Yang."
It was the voice of a twenty-five-year-old young police officer, a clear and honest voice, the voice of Su Zihang.
An Yang turned around suddenly and saw Su Zihang standing there, smiling slightly at him.
"I'm here, waiting for you for many years."
"… "
Looking at that picture, An Luo suddenly remembered the sentence in a word: When I look back, the man is in the dim light.
I am here, waiting for you for many years. In a word, there is no need to make any superfluous explanations. They looked at each other, met again after many years, and a tacit smile had already explained everything.
Su Zihang has been waiting, he has been waiting here for An Yang, what else can describe his affection for An Yang? Maybe the parting from the previous life caused too many regrets, or maybe he still had a lot of words to tell An Yang that he was not willing to die like that, so he was waiting here for An Yang's return.
Looking at the warm picture of their reunion, An Luo was suddenly speechless.
He didn't like Su Zihang before, let alone why his brother fell in love with the undercover agent who had deceived him. One of them was born in the underworld, and the other was a policeman. They were originally in two different worlds, light and dark, black and white, and there should be no intersection at all, let alone love.
Perhaps, human beings are so strange, the shadow at the intersection of light and darkness seems to have a unique magic, which makes An Yang and Su Zihang deeply immersed in it. At this moment, An Luo suddenly discovered that even if An Yang and Su Zihang were once on the opposite side, they would always be each other's only one.
And himself, even if he died with An Yang, he never had a place for himself in his heart. He can only be an outsider, as his younger brother, in another world, to witness his reunion with his lover with his own eyes.
Clearly understand this point, it is impossible to say that it is not sad, but at that moment, in addition to sadness, An Luo's heart is more calm, the peace of accepting everything and thinking about everything.
He thought that he could finally let go of An Yang, forget them completely, and even bless them calmly. If they can meet in the next life, I hope they can be happy and safe together.
If there is an afterlife, maybe there will be a better person waiting for you? Perhaps, after being freed from the bitter love in the past, he will fall in love with another person and have a wholehearted love
If there is an afterlife, An Luo only hopes that he can be born in a new family and have a new life. I also hope that I and An Yang will never meet again.

"Sir, your breakfast." The gentle voice of the flight attendant sounded in his ears, causing An Luo to wake up suddenly from his dream.
The plane did not catch fire, and there were no strange souls around. He was still sitting in his seat. A young mother beside her was peeling peanuts for her child, and an old man diagonally opposite was reading a newspaper with reading glasses. In front of him, a boy who looks like a student is listening to music with headphones on.
There were no terrifying screams and dying screams, the cabin was very quiet, and the flight attendants were delivering breakfast one by one, right to the seat where An Luo was.
"gentlemen?"
Seeing that An Luo was still in a daze, the flight attendant handed the box to his place with a good temper, "Your breakfast."
"Oh, thank you." An Luo hurriedly took the breakfast box from her.
The child sitting next door glanced curiously at the pale An Luo, gently tugged at his sleeve, opened his eyes and said, "Uncle, is this your first time on a plane? Are you scared? Look You've been shaking just now."
"..." A few eyes turned to An Luo, An Luo blushed instantly, watching the little girl make faces at him, her whole body stiffened with embarrassment.
He died because of an air crash back then. Just like someone bitten by a snake would be afraid of a well rope, he had a hidden fear in his heart about flying. When the plane took off just now, An Luo couldn't control the fear in his heart. , probably seems very gaffe in front of these people...
A big man was trembling with fear on the plane, and the passengers around him must be laughing at him.
Thinking of this, An Luo's ears turned red.
Fortunately, the girl's mother rescued him in time and said to her daughter, "Don't make trouble baby, uncle is not afraid, he is just unwell and airsick." The woman looked at An Luo apologetically and said with a smile, "Sir, I'm sorry, my daughter is ignorant. If you're not feeling well, would you like some chewing gum? I used to get airsick, and it worked."
"Uh, thank you." An Luo took the chewing gum she handed over with embarrassment and stuffed it into his mouth.
The episode on the plane ended with the woman beside her. The little girl made a face at An Luo and lowered her head to eat peanuts. An Luo gradually forgot about this, and opened the lunch box and ate a few. Mouth breakfast.
The flight attendant collected the garbage after everyone's meal, and the cabin fell into silence again audible of falling needles.
The long-distance flight was very tiring. Many passengers around put down the sun visors and leaned on the seats to sleep. The women and children around them also fell asleep, but An Luo was not at all drowsy.
His heart was in a mess.
The flash of memory just now emerged, which actually reminded him of what happened after his death.
It turned out that An Yang told him the rumor about the "21 grams of soul weight", no wonder there was such a paragraph in his mind inexplicably after his rebirth. And when he was reborn, for some reason, he forgot the events after his death, and also forgot that he had witnessed the reunion of An Yang and Su Zihang in that world...
The last fragment in my memory is my expectations for the next life, as well as my complete letting go and calm blessings to An Yang and Su Zihang...
Wasn't he suddenly reborn, but directly reincarnated
Did you really lose your memory this time
Or as An Ze said, because he had lost his memory twice, causing confusion in his thinking, and inexplicably remembering his previous life
what is the problem…
The chaotic thoughts in his mind gave An Luo a splitting headache. He could not find any strong evidence at all, let alone whether he had been reincarnated since he was a child, or if he was suddenly reincarnated into An Luo. An Ze's brother, if it is the latter, then he still has nothing to do with An Ze's brother.
Those stories about the soul, An Luo can't even determine its authenticity, maybe it's just his own imagination, or is it just a dream after falling asleep just now
***
The plane finally landed at Vancouver International Airport after flying for more than ten hours. An Luo walked out of the airport with a suitcase with mixed feelings and chaotic thoughts.
It was 8:30 in the morning when it took off, and it was still in the morning when it arrived. The obvious time difference made An Luo a little dizzy.
After more than 20 years, this city where I once lived has become extremely unfamiliar. The surrounding buildings, vehicles, people, everything is a brand new world. It took An Luo a long time to find the area where the taxi was, took a taxi, and told the driver to take him to a hotel in his memory, but the driver said that the hotel was no longer there.
An Luo was silent for a while, and had no choice but to ask the driver to take him to the city, and then find a temporary residence.
Regarding his true identity, An Luo can't think clearly now, let alone find out any clues. Now that he is here, let's settle down for the time being. I finally made up my mind not to suddenly change my mind and return to China because of that inexplicable dream-like scene on the plane.
What's more, he has always clearly said "I'm not your brother", and has even been rejecting the existence of brother Anze in his heart. If he suddenly ran back to him and said, "I might be your brother", An Ze would definitely find it ridiculous...
Even An Luo himself thought this statement was ridiculous.
He opened the window and took a deep breath to calm himself down completely. He thought, starting today, he should start a new life. When he went abroad, he had withdrawn a sum of money from his credit card. How to use the money to support himself was the most important thing An Luo needed to consider at the moment.
