rebirth against the times

In the KTV, maybe because she had drunk a lot of wine before, Xu Chan started to get high. She seemed to have returned to the heroic heroine she was before. Not only did she happily clink glasses with everyone, but she also pulled Bai Shuo along.

Singing with oneself, when it was not very popular in KTV, Xu Chan liked to let Bai Shuo play the guitar and sing with him. Now it seems that he has regained the feeling of the past.

At this time, someone asked for a song called "Hiroshima Mon Amour" but no one sang it. Cao An asked loudly: "Whose? Whose? I didn't cut it."

Xu Chan suddenly shouted: "Don't worry, there's no one to sing, so I'll do it." After saying that, he stood up and picked up two microphones, then handed one to Bai Shuo and said, "Sing with me."

Bai Shuo was helpless and the microphone started singing again. The difference was that Bai Shuo felt that Xu Chan was singing this song with great concentration, as if he was not singing, but narrating a story to Bai Shuo.

Man: You should have rejected me long ago

You shouldn't let my pursuit go

Give me the story I long for

Leave a name that cannot be lost

Female: It’s hard to turn back time

Space is easily broken

twenty-four hours of love

It is a beautiful memory that I will never forget in my life

Male: Crossing the moral border

We walked through the forbidden zone of love

Enjoy the illusion of happiness

misunderstood the meaning of happiness

Woman: Who is too brave?

Said he liked parting

As long as today is not tomorrow

Watching love slipping through my fingers

And say goodbye

Man: I don’t have enough time to love you properly

Female: The romantic game should have been stopped long ago

Together: I wish to be abandoned by you

Even if we understand and separate

There is no answer ending for those who don’t want to love

Man: I don’t have enough time to hate you properly

Female: I finally understand that hating people is not easy

Together: before love and hate disappear

Warm my face with your hands

prove it to me

I once truly loved you

Male: I loved you (Female: I loved you)

Male: I loved you (Female: I loved you)

Together: Love you

loved you

…

After singing the song, Xu Chan was no longer as high as before, but gradually became quieter, and seemed to have started to change back to the calm, mature and rational metropolitan woman.

After it was over, Bai Shuo sent Xu Chan back to the hotel. Since it was not far away, he walked with her all the way there. On the way, Bai Shuo saw that Xu Chan seemed a little quiet and thought she was not feeling well after drinking too much wine, so he asked

Said: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Chan suddenly replied: "I have nothing, I am living a good life, I am very happy."

This sentence made Bai Shuo fall into deep consternation. If you remember correctly, in the past two days, this was the third time that Xu Chan took the initiative to emphasize that she was living a good life and was very happy. This was inherently problematic. Bai

Shuo didn't ask any more questions and kept thinking secretly in his heart.

When they arrived at the door of the room, Xu Chan thanked Bai Shuo for sending her back and was about to say goodbye. Bai Shuo suddenly asked, "You're not living a very good life, are you?"

Xu Chan smiled: "Why do you say that?"

"You sang "Hiroshima Amour" very carefully today." Xu Chan was stunned, and Bai Shuo continued: "But I know you didn't sing it for me."

Xu Chan couldn't help crying suddenly, and then she rushed over and kissed Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo was a little at a loss for a moment, but seemed reluctant to push Xu Chan away. After a while, Xu Chan buried her head in Bai Shuo.

Shuo was holding her tightly with both hands, sobbing non-stop.

After a long time, Bai Shuo said softly: "If your life is not good, you might as well come back."

At this time, Xu Chan left Bai Shuo's arms, tidied up a little, then looked at Bai Shuo and said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this." Bai Shuo was about to say something, but Xu Chan stopped him and continued: "

Are you free tomorrow? Can you go somewhere with me?"

Bai Shuo nodded: "It's not like you don't know, I'm quite free every day now."

"Well, then come and wait for me here at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Bai Shuo looked around, put on a playful smile and said, "Of course it's no problem. Why bother going back and forth? In fact, I can still have breakfast with you."

"Have breakfast?" Xu Chan asked doubtfully.

"Hmm..." Bai Shuo raised his eyebrows and looked into the room.

Xu Chan understood immediately, and pushed Bai Shuo away with a shy punch: "Whoever wants to have breakfast with you, get out of here..."

Bai Shuo happily rubbed the area hit by Xu Chan: "Haha, okay, you go to bed early, I will be there on time tomorrow morning."

Xu Chan said "hmm" and slowly closed the door.

Bai Shuo walked out of the hotel and walked under the street lamp. After the passionate kiss he had just had with Xu Chan, he was no longer drunk and was replaced by an inexplicable restlessness. Although the suggestion of "eating breakfast" just now was mostly

It was just a joke, but if Xu Chan had not refused at that time, maybe he would really have trouble controlling himself. As he thought about it, Bai Shuo jumped up while walking alone in the night, and from time to time there was a burst of irritation on the quiet road.

Song: "Crossing the moral border, we walk through the forbidden zone of love, enjoy the illusion of happiness, and misunderstand the meaning of happiness..."

Early the next morning, Bai Shuo dressed up specially and arrived at the hotel before 8:30. He called Xu Chan, but it took a long time to get through. "I have already arrived at the hotel. Have you had breakfast? Maybe I really

I can have breakfast with you."

At this time, Xu Chan's lazy voice came from the phone: "What time is it? I drank too much yesterday and I haven't gotten up yet..."

"Sister, it's already half past eight, can you leave at nine?"

"Hey, come up first and wait for me for a while. I'll be fine soon."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shuo suddenly imagined the scene of Xu Chan getting up. He couldn't help but feel the wind at his feet and quickly jumped into the elevator... After entering the room, Bai Shuo found that although Xu Chan hadn't finished washing, her makeup was still on.

He had already dressed before he had rested. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Well! You actually got dressed first and then washed up. Did you put on makeup?"

"Well, what else? What do you want to see?" Xu Chan asked angrily while washing and tidying up.

Bai Shuo knew he was speechless, so he simply confessed his thoughts openly and said: "Well, of course I want to see if there are any scenes that make people nose bleed."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a fragrant breeze blowing in front of his face, and a pink fist had already stopped less than one centimeter from the tip of his nose. "It's not easy to have a nosebleed. If you talk a lot, it will really satisfy you." Xu Chan said with a charming tone

He smiled and raised his fist towards Bai Shuo.

"Don't make trouble." Bai Shuo said as he took the opportunity to pout and kiss Xu Chan's fist. Xu Chan quickly retracted his fist and scolded with a hint of shyness: "Hey, you are a coward. When you were a child, you

I don’t dare to do this.”

Before he finished speaking, Bai Shuo suddenly approached Xu Chan. There was a wall behind Xu Chan, and he had no way to retreat. He had to watch Bai Shuo approach in front of him until the two of them could feel the distance between each other's breath.

"There are many things that I wanted to do but didn't dare to do before, but I dare to do them now." Bai Shuo said as he ran his right hand through Xu Chan's messy and fluffy hair until he touched his ear.

Xu Chan was a little nervous and her breathing became a little heavy: "You... what do you want to do?"

"I think...I want..." Bai Shuo whispered in an ambiguous tone while getting closer and closer to Xu Chan.

"Ah...oh..." Xu Chan's scream suddenly came from the room.

Bai Shuo, who had already jumped away, was twirling a long piece of hair in his hand, with a wicked smile on his face: "Haha, you used to bully me and pull my hair when I was a kid. This time you finally got your revenge!"

"You bastard, how dare you tease me?"

"Well, yes, this look and tone are the Xu Chan in my memory. What are you pretending to do when you come back this time?"

At this time, Xu Chan was already very angry: "I'm pretending to be your sister, so I'll kill you Chang Geng, let's see if I don't kill you..."

The two of them were noisy in the room for a long time, and they didn't pack up until 10:30 and go out. It turned out that Xu Chan was going to deal with house demolition, but it was right to ask Bai Shuo for this matter. After fighting against the flood, Bai Shuo

Because of his relationship with Xiao Zhen, he is very familiar with all the people in the town. The person in charge of demolition in the town is one of his acquaintances. Xu Chan doesn’t care too much about how much the house will cost, he just wants to be able to

Hurry up and get it done, so the whole process is very simple. It was completed in less than half an hour. Xu Chan also entrusted the follow-up matters to Bai Shuo. When he saw Xu Chan, he didn't ask for anything or anything.

, Bai Shuo couldn't help but ask her why she didn't want to strive for more benefits. Xu Chan smiled and said that she was assured of Bai Shuo and believed that Bai Shuo would not let her suffer. As for whether she could gain more benefits, she didn't care, she didn't have that

What kind of nail shop should I spend my time on?

After completing the formalities, Xu Chan went back to the old house to take a look again, and some things from her childhood came to mind again. Suddenly, Xu Chan seemed to see something, and she slowly walked towards a door, only to see her bending over.

He lowered his body, gently brushed off the dust on the door frame with his hands, and then stroked it repeatedly.

"What are you looking at?" Bai Shuo walked over and asked curiously. But when he turned around, he saw that Xu Chan's eyes were already red.

"This was left by my father when I was a child." Xu Chan's voice was choked with sobs. Only then did Bai Shuo see that there were several scratches on the door frame. It was obvious that they were left by her father after Xu Chan measured her height when she was a child.

In families of that era, many parents liked to mark their children's growing height on the door frame, and after a while let their children look at the mark to see how much they had grown. Bai Shuo looked at the tallest mark and could only think.

However, at a height of about 1.23 meters, she vaguely remembered that Xu Chan's father should have passed away when she was less than 10 years old. Thinking of this, Bai Shuo gently patted Xu Chan's shoulder.

Xu Chan stood up and said sadly: "After moving to the magic city, many old things were lost. There was an accidental fire at home and the photos left by my father were burned. Think about it carefully, now I have a little bit of my father around me."

There is nothing left for me. My father’s memory seems to be getting fainter in my mind. I haven’t dreamed about my father for a long time.”

Bai Shuo looked around and suddenly brought a rusty kitchen knife and some tools such as screwdrivers from the kitchen. Under Xu Chan's confused eyes, Bai Shuo picked up the knife and slashed at the door frame.

After a while, Bai Shuo pulled off the scored piece of wood on the door frame. "Have you seen enough here? Let's go, I will take you somewhere." After saying this, Bai Shuo pulled Xu Chan involuntarily.

They came to a place that turned out to be the factory where he once worked. Bai Shuo took Xu Chan and attracted a lot of attention in the factory. Since it was lunch break, some old workers saw Bai Shuo returning to the factory.

They gathered around, and some even joked: "Hey, Bai Shuo, your new girlfriend is so beautiful?" No matter how Bai Shuo explained, no one wanted to believe it. In the end, Xu Chan simply held Bai Shuo's arm openly.

Let everyone joke about it.

Bai Shuo and everyone chatted all the way to a workshop. He handed the large piece of rotten wood to a worker and said a few words to him, then took Xu Chan to chat with Zhu Zhu. Zhu Zhu learned that the two of them had not yet met.

He was having lunch, and he hadn’t eaten yet because he had just finished working overtime, so he paid for three meals with added ingredients from the canteen and ate them in the office. After Bai Shuo finished the hearty meal, he picked up another meal

Zhu Zhu gave "Zhonghua" cigarettes to Zhu Zhu. Xu Chan and herself gave one to each other, and then said "tsk-tsk" to Zhu Zhu: "It's swollen, it's swollen. I said Zhu Zhu, you started not long after you became the workshop director."

It’s corrupt.”

Under Zhu Zhu's surprised gaze, Bai Shuo continued: "In the past, we only had one meat and one vegetable for our work meals, but now you dare to have three meat dishes and add chicken legs; before, it was all red plums, but now you dare to bring Chinese plums, hey

Comrade Zhuzi, don’t be lost in money and power..."

Seeing Bai Shuo pretending to be crazy, Zhu Zhu snatched the cigarette from his hand depressedly: "I'm afraid I've treated you two badly. There's nothing corrupt about paying for extra food out of my own pocket. Hua Zi, if you can't smoke it, give it back to me. Turn left when you go out."

, there is someone selling red plums..." Xu Chan saw the two people arguing with each other like they were when they were children, and she was also amused and burst into laughter.

At this time, the workers brought over the rotten white wood. At this time, the piece of wood had been trimmed very neatly. The corners and back had been polished, and varnish was applied to the wood. It looked like a piece of wood.

It looked like a handicraft. Bai Shuo handed the thing to Xu Chan: "Here you go, I think this is the best memorial a father can leave to his daughter." Xu Chan looked at the thing in his hand and seemed extremely excited. The things on the wood

The carvings still maintain their original appearance, and each trace seems to tell a father's expectations for his daughter's growth... "Can you still accompany me to a place?" Xu Chan looked at Bai Shuo excitedly, "Maybe it's not very good.

, but I still want someone to accompany me."

What we came to this time was the grave of Xu Chan's father. Bai Shuo helped Xu Chan tidy up the grave, burned some incense and paper money, and then stood far away, silently waiting for Xu Chan to talk to her father.

At first, Bai Shuo vaguely heard Xu Chan just saying something like how unfilial he was for not visiting his father's grave for many years, and then it seemed to be about trivial matters from the past and present. Later, Xu Chan became more and more excited and excited as he talked.

He spoke louder and even began to cry. Bai Shuo heard Xu Chan say: "Father, my daughter is useless. She has become the most annoying person. I don't want to be like this, but I can't do it..." He hesitated for a moment.

, Bai Shuo walked over and gently hugged Xu Chan. Xu Chan didn't speak anymore, still crying, and leaned against Bai Shuo. After a long time, Xu Chan slowly straightened up and smiled slightly at Bai Shuo.

: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Bai Shuo sent Xu Chan back to the hotel again. When he arrived at the door of the room, Xu Chan turned back to look at Bai Shuo and said, "I will leave early tomorrow morning. You are not allowed to see me off. Let me leave quietly alone."

Bai Shuo was about to speak, but Xu Chan said: "I have always known what you mean. But even if the path I choose is wrong, I will never look back. If I go back this time, unless I can't survive anymore, I won't

When I come back again, are you willing to bless me and cheer for me?"

Bai Shuo looked at Xu Chan and nodded. He rubbed Xu Chan's head: "Fool, no matter where you are, I hope you live a happy life, come on!"

Xu Chan smiled happily and then suddenly hugged Bai Shuo and said, "Let us say goodbye here. Promise me that you will be well in the future."

Bai Shuo also hugged Xu Chan tightly. After Xu Chan finished speaking, the two of them did not speak. When a waiter appeared in the corridor, the two slowly separated.

"That's it. Thank you this time. Go back and get some rest early."

"Well, you should rest early, bye..." Bai Shuo stared at Xu Chan and said goodbye with some reluctance.

Xu Chan also stared at Bai Shuo, smiled slightly, and then slowly closed the door. Bai Shuo knew that no one came and said anything during the last parting, and this time was the belated official farewell between the two.

But this farewell may mean never seeing each other again. But is it really so...
