Huh?

The rain is so heavy...

It was as heavy as the rain that day.

The dim street lights are getting dimmer and dim, but the memories deep in my mind are getting clearer and clearer.

My name is Xu Yi.

Perhaps, there is nothing.

Just like my name, my life seems to be more random and more random than others.

I often wonder, if I hadn’t cried and made a fuss about going to the amusement park when I was six years old, would my life have been different?

In that case, my mother would not have made a special trip to ask for leave, my father would not have made a special trip to rent a car, and that day... there would not have been a car accident.

I looked at my father in the driver's seat with his head hanging limply to the side, and my mother in the passenger seat breathing heavily, but blood kept pouring out of her damaged throat, and I couldn't cover it with my hands.

It's raining, cars are smoking, passers-by are screaming...

I lost consciousness and regained consciousness, already in another place.

The rain stopped, and I curled up on the bedside, shivering. When I recalled what happened, I burst into tears.

That day, at the age of six, I realized...that I had become an orphan.

After being sent to the orphanage, I became silent.

The children here are orphans just like me, but they are also different from me. They can laugh.

I don't fit in with others, I'm always alone.

But I also have my own favorite things, I like to eat sweets.

Although the welfare home distributes candies, they only do so once a week, and there are always only one or two at a time.

Maybe I’m worried that my kids will get cavities if they eat too much, but I don’t care.

On the day when candy is given out, I grab it.

I am unsociable and aggressive, even a group of kids can't beat me. I can always grab a lot of candies.

One day, the welfare home gave out candies again. I called the other children to the yard and asked them to hand over the candies as usual, otherwise I would beat them.

But this time, they didn't obey.

I was about to start a fight when a dark, dry and thin figure emerged.

She stared at me and shouted at me: "No! No!"

Then he turned to the others and said, "You go in, and I'll fight him!"

That day, the sky was overcast and it was about to rain.

I hate rain. Every time it rains, I have bad luck.

I know this dry, black and thin little girl. She just arrived in the past few days. Everyone calls her Sister Xiaoli. She is older than most children. She was almost ten years old when she entered the orphanage.

And although she is dark and thin, she is very tall, a head taller than me.

The others immediately turned around and ran away. I am a man and I am too lazy to meet her as a woman. What’s more, I don’t want to get caught in the rain.

I turned to leave, but she grabbed me.

"Don't leave!"

"release."

"No!"

Her voice was amazingly loud.

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you!" I glared at her.

"Come on!" She rolled up her sleeves without showing any signs of weakness.

The strong wind before the rain blew her braided hair to the side, and her voice was blown by the wind and seemed to disperse throughout the orphanage.

Those guys were lying next to the window and looking out, wanting to see me being punished.

I couldn't hold it in my face, and just when I was about to hit her, a bolt of lightning suddenly split in the sky.

The pale horses split the rain clouds, and heavy rain poured down.

The heavy rain brought back the memory of the car accident that I didn't want to recall. I looked at the white field in my field of vision and her shadow. I immediately rushed over like a madman, riding on her body and punching and kicking her, while being scared. Had to tremble all over.

She would fight back at first, but after grabbing me a few times, she stopped.

Seemingly noticing something was wrong with me, she started yelling.

The mothers were soon called by the other children, and she and I were separated and taken away separately.

I didn't want to hit her like that because the rain was bad.

But that’s okay, she must be frightened and won’t dare to mess with me in the future.

However, that night, after everyone else fell asleep, she quietly ran to my bedside and shook me awake.

"What are you doing? You still want to fight!" I looked fierce but was actually a little afraid of her.

"Here!" She suddenly put something into my hand, leaned over with her face, and said seriously: "I'll give you my candy. Don't bully others anymore!"

"I don't want..." Before I could finish my words, she ran away in a hurry.

I opened my palms, and two candies that were so warm even the wrappers were lying on my palms.

Later I found out that it was the mother at the orphanage who told her that I was different from other children. I had witnessed the tragic death of my parents with my own eyes, and I was carried out from behind their bodies.

I am withdrawn, eccentric, have no friends, I am afraid of rain, and I only like...eating sweets.

After that day, Xiaoli became my only friend.

Although I never thought so, she insisted on saying so herself.

Soon, it’s New Year’s Eve.

There were many games in the orphanage, and everyone got new clothes. I also got some, but I didn't go to get them.

Xiaoli found me and patted me on the back: "Hello? Why don't you go get the gift?"

I turned around, glanced across her face, and looked at the children who were lining up to receive New Year gifts. Some of them were younger than me, some were older than me, but they all came earlier than me. Most of them came earlier than me. He is an orphan who was abandoned at birth.

Speaking of which, the only person in this orphanage who came later than me was her.

I was suddenly curious about why she came to the orphanage? Are your parents dead too?

"Don't you think they are pitiful?" I said. "They think that receiving gifts means receiving love."

"How can there be love in this place? Everything here..." I pulled at my clothes and pants emotionally. "The food, supplies, and gifts are all pity. They are just pity for them who have no home." people!"

"It's just pity, not love!"

"No family, no affection, it's all fake!"

Although I say "them", I know that I am one of them.

She looked at me and said nothing.

Doesn't seem to understand what I'm talking about.

She frowned and thought hard for a long time, shook her head, grabbed my hand, and spread my fingers forcefully.

"I'm so annoyed. What should I do? Should we die like this?"

She put two candies into my hand.

I suddenly noticed that her skin was a little whiter than when she first came in.

"I don't want it! I have no relatives and no home, but...but as long as I live, I can find a new family! I will definitely find it!" She said firmly.

I don't know why she can be so sure about this.

I was too lazy to argue with her, so I accepted the candy and threw her hand away.

The New Year is just an ordinary day, but people like to give it special meaning.

Without anyone special, any holiday is just an ordinary day.

The most important thing about me was completely taken away in that car accident, and every day after that was meaningless.

I'm thinking that maybe the meaning of my life is to wait for death.

There is no difference to me between being dead and still alive.

The days pass by.

One year...two years.

I still only have one self-proclaimed friend, and my personality has not changed at all.

However, she has changed a bit in the past two years. She is taller and her skin is whiter. I can occasionally hear her speak.

The children in the orphanage all said privately that I liked her, otherwise why would I, a violent maniac, hit everyone but never hit her.

I really listened to her and stopped grabbing other people’s candies.

They didn't know that eating too many candies would make them tired, so adding her two candies was just enough.

Moreover, it’s not because I like her that I don’t beat her.

Just treat it as a return gift for the candies she has been giving me for the past two years, nothing more.

That day, it was going to rain again.

Every rainy day, I would lock myself up, not eating, and not wanting to see anyone.

Everyone is used to it, and so is she.

But that day, she came to me before it rained.

"do what?"

I squinted at her.

She is still taller than me, still skinny, but her skin is paler.

But I always feel that when she becomes white, she is not as beautiful as when she was darker.

"You have to go to school."

She looked at me.

"No." It turns out that this is what happened. At my age, I should have been sent to school long ago, but I didn't want to go. If I did, I would skip school.

"Go!" She stared at me and her voice became louder again.

She is always like this, not just to me, but her nosy voice can be heard everywhere in the orphanage.

She has to take care of this child's affairs, and she has to take care of that child's affairs. She is really a troublesome woman.

"What does it have to do with you?" I glanced at her and said nonchalantly.

"If you don't go to school, you will always be afraid of rain."

She suddenly said something that I didn't expect at all.

"Boom——"

At this moment, there was a loud thunder outside the window.

The snow-white electric light made my face pale.

I clenched my fists, pushed her hard, and yelled, "You don't have to worry about it!"

She is very strong and tall. This is not the first time I push her. After all, she always likes to get in my way.

Same thing this time.

But this time was different, because...she fell.

"boom--"

She hit the floor, her face turned white, and she lay motionless on the ground.

I was stunned.

The scene when my parents were in a car accident flashed through my mind again. Did I...kill another person?

I ran to call my mother in the orphanage in horror.

Soon, the adults came.

I dare not admit that I pushed her over and made her faint.

But what surprised me was that the adults in the orphanage didn't seem surprised. They hurriedly called the emergency number, and the ambulance came soon.

I suddenly felt something was wrong in my heart, and I had to go with him no matter what.

I was kicking and biting, and no one could control me except to let me go with the ambulance.

I looked at her lying on the stretcher bed, her face pale, and I was extremely frightened.

She won't die, right? He was pushed by me and fell down, and then died...

I was shaking all over and couldn't help but ask my mother in the orphanage: "Will she die?"

The mother at the orphanage didn't seem to expect that I would ask such a question.

But there was undisguised sadness in her eyes as she said, "Xiaoli may... have to leave."

I was stunned.

Will she really die?

The mother at the orphanage touched my head: "Xiaoli..."

I sat in the ambulance in a daze, listening to the mother in the orphanage almost whispering.

"Xiaoli was abandoned by her parents."

"Her family was poor. She was diagnosed with cancer when she was nine years old. She couldn't afford to see a doctor, so she was brought to this city and abandoned."

"She knew where her home was, but she didn't tell her. She said she had lost her memory."

"But everyone knows...she remembers everything and knows everything..."

"Cancer hurts, and she likes candy."

"It doesn't hurt so much when I eat sweets..."

"When she first came to the orphanage, she always said this with a smile."

"But her illness keeps getting worse..."

"..."

No wonder she has turned grayer in the past two years, but she is becoming more and more unsightly...

I suddenly understood many things.

At this time, the nurse in the car said: "What is this child holding in his hand? He can't open it."

"Let me take a look." The doctor came over, pinched her fingers, and opened them one by one.

I looked over and saw two candies lying in her palm, clenched tightly.

"This child... likes to eat sweets." The mother at the orphanage explained, but she couldn't help but choke.

I stared blankly at her closed eyes and the two dazzling candies in her palms.

I know that she didn't prepare these two candies for herself.

suddenly! Her eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.

But at this time, the ambulance also stopped.

The back door was opened, and I was pushed aside by the nurse. I watched her lying on the stretcher and being pushed quickly towards the hospital.

I subconsciously ran along.

She tilted her head and looked at me, the light in her eyes was darker than before, and her braided hair hung down outside the stretcher car, swaying back and forth.

"go to school."

She spoke, not as loudly as usual.

"You have to laugh..."

"Live happily...live..."

The stretcher where she was lying was pushed up the slope, and two candies rolled out of her hand and fell to me.

I stopped and the medical staff hurried past me.

The world suddenly became silent, and only those two candies were left in my eyes.

The rain was pouring down, and I stood outside the hospital gate, soaking in the rain quietly.

Later, I was not afraid of rain and stopped eating sweets.

…

Huh?

It’s rainy again…

By the way, I was in a game, and this time... I made a point.

A woman with hands full of blood was playing with my face, and the emotion in her eyes... was just like me in the past.

By the way, she is Zhong Xueran.

Yes...it's Zhong Xueran.

She is really... exactly like me, the me in the past.

How good it is to live, how many people are working hard to live.

Be happy, smile, as long as you are alive, what's the big deal?

There is no need to search for meaning, life is just enough to live with a smile... Zhong Xueran.

Live your life...

"Yan Xiao!"

Zhong Xueran was surprised and happy. At this moment, Yan Xiao actually drove and appeared in the old city!

"Save him!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Xiao pulled her out of Xu Yi's arms.

Then he pushed Xu Yi's stiff body into the car.

"You can save him, right? Yan Xiao? You can save him... right?" In the car, Zhong Xueran looked at him pleadingly, his voice trembling.

Yan Xiao said nothing.

He glanced at the group of dead bodies that were about to rush over, turned the steering wheel, and sped away.
