If the world had no daylight

Chapter 137 The Lighter

That night, Bai Tian dreamed of his past for a long time.

The power of time is the most powerful and irreversible thing in this world. No matter how heart-piercing the pain was at the beginning, it has now become a dry blood stain on the wall, black and yellow, mottled and cracked.

The day before New Year's Eve was a rare sunny day.

The heavy snow stopped, Bai Tian sat on the bus and looked at the white snow along the street and the red lanterns on the trees, the two intertwined, adding a bit of clean joy.

It was cold all the way, and when the bus finally arrived at the stop, she saw some figures.

Bai Tian got up and walked to the rear door, ready to get out of the car.

A white figure flashed behind the billboard on the platform. She had already seen it clearly, but before she could confirm it, she was distracted by a phone call.

It's from the hospital.

Bai Tian took back the steps she took, and the figure had gone far away, but she couldn't take another look.

After one day and one night had passed, and all the turmoil had settled down, Bai Tian had to think about it——is that figure Ye Wan?

But none of that matters anymore.

Because she didn't receive any gifts this New Year, but lost her last relative.

However, it is not the life that is taken away by illness, and it has nothing to do with surgery.

Bai Tian used the money from selling the restaurant to cure the third uncle's life, only because she gave others a chance by going out for a short time.

Later, after many twists and turns, she finally got a chance to visit before the murderer moved to prison.

For nothing else, she just wanted to know the reason.

Through the explosion-proof glass in the interview room, Bai Tian looked at the terminally ill old man inside with no expression on his face.

The new year has passed, and the old man who has been in the hospital next to his third uncle's bed all winter has no family members who have visited him.

Bai Tian was the first and probably the last person to visit.

She brought a thermos, which contained the spare rib soup that was often stewed for the third uncle. The people in front of him were also familiar with the taste, but he remained silent, and even the expression on his face was the same as in the hospital. into the eyes.

In just 15 minutes, Bai Tian asked "why" three times.

No injustice or enmity, neither relative nor cause, she and third uncle have never offended him, and even gave him a share of the soup and rice they brought every day, but in exchange they were killed by a knife.

But the people inside, just like in court, didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Everyone knew that his illness could not be cured, and he had only a few days to live, and he might not even make it to the day when he would officially start serving his sentence.

If you use the greatest malice to infer, it may be like what the nurses in the hospital said - you are not willing to die alone, and you want to take someone to accompany you.

Bai Tian thought this was too ridiculous, but she was the one involved, so she couldn't even laugh.

On the second day after her visit, the police sent news that the other party fell ill and died on the way to the prison, but none of her relatives could be contacted, and no one came to collect the body.

Bai Tian couldn't feel happy at all.

Because the other party left forever with the truth, she never had the chance to know why her third uncle lost his life.

There are many truths in the world that people cannot bear, but Bai Tian wants to be that painful and sober person, and ignorance is the most terrible thing for her.

The second truth she couldn't know was the disappearing Ye Wan.

The winter of that year was the last thing Bai Tian wanted to recall in her life. It was too cold and biting, as if she just blinked and everyone around her disappeared.

For the first time, the world is so empty and desolate, even if it is covered with heavy snow, it cannot fill a single star.

Chen Huiru committed suicide, Wei Zheng went to jail, Ye Wan stopped coming to school, and then Zhao Yuelan went abroad.

It seems that everyone is fleeing from this city. There are too many bloody truths that cannot be uncovered, and those who know the truth will not end well.

Bai Tian hides herself in the overwhelming test papers and practice questions, and the campus that once made her unable to stay has become her only safe haven.

Only here can she forget everything that has nothing to do with study.

Including Ye Wan.

After Zhao Yuelan went abroad, Liu Ran was also depressed for a while.

Before Zhao Yuelan left, he overheard the last conversation between her and Bai Tian, ​​and knew about those deceptions and admiration.

Unlike Bai Tian, ​​Liu Ran probably didn't want to know the truth.

The young man's budding first love was not only burned to death by the truth, but also forced him to choose between his friends and his first love.

Bai Tian didn't care, but she knew that Liu Ran cared, and she would definitely choose herself.

Because now she only has Liu Ran, a kind and sensitive little fat man, who will not let her be really lonely.

Bai Tian's loneliness is all locked at home.

She became even more afraid of the dark, and went to sleep with a lamp on every night, but she was still haunted by nightmares all night long.

This empty and quiet room suddenly became so big that she began to be afraid.

So Bai Tian also became the one who wanted to escape.

She studied desperately. Except for eating and sleeping, she spent the rest of her time reading and doing questions non-stop.She's going to the best school, and she's getting out of here.

If you leave, you will never come back.

On the day when the results of the college entrance examination were announced, all the teachers in No. [-] Middle School went crazy.

The new headmaster was proud and exaggerated the glory that had been seldom seen in the past few decades, wishing to treat Bai Tian as his own daughter.

Bai Tian also no longer rejects the people she used to avoid the most, it seems that from here, she learned to put away her edges and corners and show others with a smile.

But after Hustle and bustle left, she was still alone after all.

At the teacher appreciation banquet, Bai Tian drank baijiu for the first time, only a small cup.She respected Li Xuemin, the only teacher who refused to give up on herself from beginning to end.

After the banquet, Bai Tian ran away from the crowd and walked home alone along the street.

But as she walked, she regained consciousness in a trance, only to realize that this was not the way home.

Most of the alcohol evaporated, and Bai Tian was still slightly smoky, so even the noisy night market was covered with a layer of soft light like water.

She was shopping at the night market and bought a bowl of Jiuniang Yuanzi to take home, but after a few steps, she saw a small cart selling egg baked cakes.

Bai Tian stopped in his tracks, looked at the stall cart emitting a scent, and was lost in thought for a moment.

One winter night, she also ate such a sweet taste.

There will never be a better taste than that now.

Bai Tian looked away, and walked away before the stall owner could speak.

On the day of boarding the plane to the capital, the sky was cloudless and blue as clear as a wash.

Bai Tian only brought a small suitcase, which contained everything she was willing to take away.

The plane lifted off slowly, and she sat by the window, looking at the shrinking city below.

It is moving away from her.

It was as if a certain organ had been stripped from the body, at the moment of complete detachment, Bai Tian felt incredibly light.

Yet it was empty.

Year after year after that, Bai Tian owned more and more things.

Self-worth, social recognition, accumulation of interpersonal relationships, stable and decent career, and the envy of everyone.

But when Bai Tian fell asleep every night, it was as if he lost gravity and left the earth again.

Her soul has no weight, neither purity nor color.

No matter how perfectly the body is maintained, what is contained in it is also a thin and empty soul.

The glamor that walks in front of people during the day reveals its original shape at night.

So Bai Tian finally understood that he could escape from that house and that city, but he couldn't escape from the lonely long night that accompanied her.

Until someone appeared again and lit a lamp for her in this long dark night.

If there is no day in the world, she still has this lamp, and the person who lights it.
