Barrier of Light

In the hazy illusion.

There was a slender and graceful shadow that slowly condensed in the white light, and a steady and low arc sound surged outside the window, like ocean waves.

Gu Shen came to the spiritual link.

Train No. 001 is as stable, quiet and relaxing as ever.

Gentle white light fell on every part of the carriage, breaking through all the gloom that was trying to be trapped outside the window. It was like a drowsy cradle full of security.

But...spiritual link is a kind of deep sleep.

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

Gu Shen put his hands on his knees. Even though he was very familiar with Chu Ling, he was still not used to seeing Chu Ling again. Maybe it was because the girl opposite him was too beautiful. After seeing Chu Ling for so long, he couldn't help but be amazed. eyes.

He spoke for a long time before saying this.

Because I haven’t seen him for a long time... Shenhai was upgraded and Chu Ling disappeared. At that time, he had just passed the review and had not yet landed in Dadu. So many things happened during this period.

Maybe it’s only one month to fully plan.

But this month feels like a year.

Gu Shen looked at Chu Ling and suddenly felt that he was a lucky person favored by God. After seeing him again for a long time, even though he felt a little strange at first, after looking at him twice, he was still full of heartbeat.

The girl sitting opposite seemed to be amused by Gu Shen's reserved posture.

Some people are calm and pretend to be calm when chatting on the Internet.

But when it came time to actually meet, I felt anxious and restless.

"We haven't seen each other for just a month, and we're already talking so strangely..."

Chu Ling deliberately sounded resentful, and then said with a teasing smile: "Isn't a month a long time to wait for someone?"

"soon."

Gu Shen shook his head quickly, then thought about it seriously, and then said, "But if that person is you, it will only be a long time."

Day and night.

Day and night.

Thousands of times.

Chu Ling was stunned for a moment. She lowered her eyes and began to think about Gu Shen's words, then slowly shook her head.

In Gu Shen's eyes, this action inevitably gave rise to some interpretations.

Does she think she didn't speak well? Still wrong?

Even the smartest teenagers are often clumsy in this regard. They will show their kindness carefully with a warm heart, but they are afraid that their frankness will disturb the other person.

"Did I... say something wrong?" Gu Shen thought about it and asked very seriously.

Chu Ling still shook his head.

"No...I was just thinking."

"You are different from what the book says."

This time it was Gu Shen's turn to be stunned. He didn't react. It wasn't until Chu Ling raised the thick book on his lap that he realized that in fact, from the moment he boarded Ling Ling Yao, Chu Ling had been there all the time. Read a book.

That thick book seemed like it would never be finished.

"I saw a sentence in the book that I found very interesting. It seemed to be excerpted from a long-ago book——"

Chu Ling said slowly: "I know that your immortal bones are not cold or hot, and we will meet again at dusk after a thousand years."

Who wrote this?

Gu Shen was a little angry. After listening to it, he chewed hard, but he didn't understand it half-heartedly. He only vaguely understood some of the meaning.

"We meet again in a thousand years but we are separated overnight. Is the waiting time... really long?"

Chu Ling murmured softly: "Why, you think it takes a long time, but I think... it's just a blink of an eye?"

Gu Shen couldn't answer her question.

"It's just... I also feel that I am very happy to see you, and I am very reluctant to say goodbye to you." The girl's voice gradually became lower, and she whispered: "But what you said We meet again, but I don't have the concept of long and short time... It seems that separation and goodbye, for me, are just closing and opening my eyes. I can't feel 'missing', nor can I feel 'pain', all of this is still... Before it could happen, it was already over.”

Speaking of this, she felt a little sad, and her long, snow-white fingers slowly touched the pages of the book.

"What the book says may not be entirely correct..."

Gu Shen's heart dropped a lot. When he heard Chu Ling say that he was reluctant to leave, all his worries disappeared.

At this moment, he thought for a long time and spoke again: "The book also said that a thousand years is so long compared to missing each other, and so short compared to meeting each other. Why bother to think so much, since we have re-established Link, you might as well...live every second of the moment."

After listening, Chu Ling lowered his eyebrows and thought seriously for a long time.

Then, she gave up thinking, her eyes looked a little tired, and she said helplessly: "It's such a complicated problem..."

She stopped thinking about it.

"correct……"

A smile reappeared on the girl's face, and she magically took out a small cake from behind, with eighteen small candles neatly inserted on it. The cake was not big, and the snow-white cream was dotted with strawberries. It looked very girly.

"I also read that the age of eighteen is a very important day. It means that the boy grows up and gradually becomes independent. This day is often spent with the family. There will be a birthday cake with a representative The candles of the year, blow out the candles and make a wish, and all your wishes will come true in the new year.”

Gu Shen was stunned.

The tip of his nose suddenly felt sore.

The scattered lights suddenly dimmed, and the white light disappeared. The entire carriage fell into silent darkness, and the piano accompaniment of the birthday song began to play on the train's PA.

The girl held the cake and walked as lightly as a cat. She jumped in front of Gu Shen in two or three steps. With her other hand, she took out the paper longevity crown from the hem of her skirt and carefully put it on for him.

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday to you~"

Chu Ling hummed a tune in a low voice, and his voice sounded slightly trembling.

Chu Ling... seemed... nervous too?

Gu Shen could feel the look on her face as she kept looking at him.

Gu Shen closed his eyes while humming softly.

He silently made a wish in his heart.

Then blow out the candles.

"Huh~"

In one breath, all the small candle flames were extinguished.

The soft light in the carriage lit up little by little.

Gu Shen slowly opened his eyes and saw the smile in the eyes of the girl who was very close. "Congratulations, you are an adult today. After blowing out all the candles, your wish will definitely come true."

Finished.

There was a "crash" sound.

The girl pressed the cake and tray onto Gu Shen's face.

Chu Ling looked at Gu Shen's stiff body and murmured strangely: "Hey... the book also said... press the cake on the birthday girl's face and spread it evenly, the birthday girl will be very happy, you don't seem to be happy? "

"Nothing...I'm obviously...very happy!"

Gu Shen slowly pulled the cake tray out of his face. With a warm smile on his face, he motioned for Chu Ling to come closer.

"Paji!"

The cake tray was pressed evenly onto the ignorant girl's face.

The girl fell down on the floor of the carriage, obviously unresponsive.

After a long time, Chu Ling's voice sounded muffled.

"I think... you are right. The things in the book are not entirely correct. The feeling of being hit in the face by a cake is not pleasant." Chu Ling sighed deeply: "But... I can't help but want to continue to blur these things. In your face."

Two boys and girls with their faces covered in cream looked at each other and laughed at each other.

The carriage was filled with the laughter of chasing and fighting.

Announcement loudspeakers played celebratory music.

The rest of the cake, cream, splattered on the seats and windows.

When everything was over, Chu Ling turned her back to the floor and leaned back slightly. In front of her was Gu Shen, who was holding her hands on the ground. The two looked directly at each other and saw the clear and bright eyes in each other's eyes.

"Thank you……"

Gu Shen's voice was very soft and he said seriously, "This is my happiest day."

"There will be many days like this in the future..." Chu Ling cleared her mind. She followed her own consciousness and murmured softly: "Because I will always be with you."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"What is your wish?" Chu Ling couldn't help but be curious.

"If you can't say it, it won't work if you say it."

Gu Shen shook his head, his attitude was very firm, and he refused to reveal a word even though the other party stalked and acted coquettishly.

The moment you blow out the candles.

Gu Shen silently made a wish in his heart.

If God really has a spirit, he is willing to protect himself.

Then let yourself... have this day every year, and Chu Ling every year.

I was thinking about this plot a long time ago.

I don’t know how many children discovered the easter egg. Today, February 1st, is Chu Ling’s birthday.

In the book, it is Gu Shen’s birthday.

Both of them are my little lucky stars and birthday girls. I love them so much.
