Chapter 266 Chapter 260 Four · TE · Years are long

Dong Xue looked at him.

In the tide-like fire, she was walking towards him in beautiful red dancing shoes.

"They all said that I was childish, that I was daydreaming, and that I was a lunatic. They said that I, that we... were the type of people that were not accepted." Dong Xue said, "So, I, and people like me, Gradually faded away, and became [a victim of the times, an increasing number of dark figures...and an irresistible mediocrity]. "

"No." Su Ming'an said: "When a group is working hard in one direction, those who turn around or leave will become different. Not being accepted means a kind of strength, and you have unlimited possibilities. It's just that you You need to be someone who is not excluded by the public, so you can realize your unlimited potential.”

"They imposed their responsibilities on me, in order for me to inherit their surname, squander their property, and perpetuate their ideas." Dong Xue said: "Only what is written in the book is the correct answer, and only what is affirmed by the elders is the right answer." Worth fighting for, good kids get candy — and we're never encouraged to be creative."

Su Mingan: "For thousands of years, everyone has been like this. When you were born, this "imposed" life also made you unable to make choices-but it is not wrong. After being imposed, you have more The right to refuse."

Dong Xue: "But I just like someone, I don't want to grow up. But they told me [that's not love at all] [you should be mature]...but isn't love a sign of a person's maturity?"

Su Ming'an: "The relationship between you and Yang Xia could have been less extreme. You could have chosen the meaning of pain, but you chose the most meaningless one."

Dong Xue: "I've been here for a long time, for a long time... No one understands me. The despair that hangs over our heads... can never be suppressed——If you cure Yang Xia and leave here, then I... ...what am I worth?"

Su Ming'an: "You are the preserved innocence, Dong Xue, you will always be young."

The next moment, Dong Xue's steps stopped.

Her expression changed, and her eyes became clearer.

"Why is your answer completely different from before? You clearly told me before that I was right in everything, and you followed my wishes before... But now, you are targeting me everywhere... "

"Because the dream is over." Su Mingan's voice was extremely light.

……

[Perfect clearance progress: 100%]

……

The next moment, between the opening and closing of his eyelids, he gradually lost control over his body.

He felt as if he was floating up, looking at the "self" who started to act autonomously in the form of a soul body.

He saw that "himself" was slowly changing. "His" figure began to become shorter, and his hair began to gradually become silvery white. In the midst of the pervasive fire, "his" appearance gradually resembled Dong Xue's appearance when he grew up. similar.

Dongxue's eyes changed.

She started to take steps, first in small steps, and then gradually accelerated, accelerated, she stepped on the red dancing shoes, stepped on the creaking wooden floor, as if she was chasing something.

As if she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up if she was too slow, her pace was extremely fast.

She jumped over the flames of the entire wooden building, her dancing skirt was like a flying flame.

She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hug "him", but hit a glass wall.

Invisible glass walls.

The two looked at each other through the glass wall, Dongxue stretched out her hand, and the palm of her hand was on the position of "his" cheek, her eyes were full of the shattered look of the setting sun.

And "he"...became the aging Dong Xue and Yang Xia.

In the midst of the flames, Su Mingan, who had already floated in the air and turned into a transparent body, saw the white-haired old lady who was pressing against Dongxue's palm through the glass wall below.

The real Yang Xia took over the control of his body.

...Because the real Yang Xia is no longer young.

He was floating in the sky and heard the voice of the system.

……

【"Honey, dear Dongxue, listen."】

【"You are not a victim of the times, nor are you an irresistible shadow figure, you are not mediocre, you are my favorite past."】

【"Dongxue, I will lead you to a bright future. You just need to be indulgent, proud, happy, always innocent, and then...be yourself."】

【"You may be immersed in the past, but I am not willing to destroy you."】

【"I am Yang Xia, and I am you too, and I am the grown you."】

【"After becoming an excellent student and successfully escaping from this endless hell, I became a famous scientist in the brain field, and my female identity was finally recognized by everyone."】

【"I destroyed Baisha Paradise and such a black school."】

【"I'm getting older, I'm becoming an old lady."】

【"And in my past memories, you circulate, forever young."】

【"I gradually began to regret, maybe I should pull you out of it, you shouldn't be immersed in such painful memories."】

【"I'm back, again and again, you are still unwilling to run away with me."】

【"You don't want to listen to my explanation unless I come up with complete evidence."】

【"But this time, I succeeded."】

【"This time, I hope you can really escape and be yourself."】

【"The tower has never collapsed."】

【"...and we are forever young."】

……

Dong Xue has always wanted a dress, a bright red backless dress.

She wanted to learn the swan dance, but her parents kept telling her that she was a boy, and boys had to wear dark trousers, and dancing had nothing to do with studying.

But now, through the reflection of the fire, she saw herself on the glass wall, wearing a bright red dance dress like flames.

She seemed to see herself jumping the white swan under the auditorium.

She saw the light in her eyes.

...even though this is just a building that is about to be burned to the ground.

The old lady was wearing a bright red dress with red lips.

She said softly: "Dongxue."

Dong Xue's body jerked violently.

When she regained her own voice, she found hers to be terribly hoarse:

"Yang Xia, welcome back." She said.

In the blood-red vision, she saw her aging self, smiling.

"Dongxue, I always advised you to be mature before, but I later found out that perhaps an adult should keep his own innocence." The old lady said softly:

"We're not going against the tide of society, nor are we some repressed outliers."

"...Dong Xue, we still have to walk freely and with dignity to the end."

"I'm growing up, I'm getting old, I'm getting old, I'm an old lady."

"I became a scientist in the brain field, and my female identity was recognized by everyone."

"I chose to come back and destroy such a black school."

"I've grown up, but I don't regret it."

"I don't have a husband in my life, and I have dedicated my life to society and the country. But I don't feel like I'm missing anything."

"My students are very obedient and respect me. They will send me my favorite red roses and low-fat yogurt, take care of me during holidays, and celebrate my birthday every year."

"A young man who lost his mother, he called me teacher's mother."

"I heard it, and I was very moved."

"Dong Xue, people don't need love to live, but need faith."

"—And sometimes, loving yourself is a kind of Zhigao's belief."

"Winter Snow."

"I love you."

Dongxue covered her lips.

Tears kept streaming from the corners of her eyes, the shoulder straps of her red dance dress were trembling, her sticky black hair was trembling, and her eyes were trembling like the sea light.

this response.

She waited almost her whole life.

On the other side of the glass, she continued to speak softly.

When she grows up, she is like a bottle of wine that has just been opened, with a fragrance and charm that penetrates the heart and soul. When the wine gradually seeps into the bottom of the heart... a scorching, long-stored wine is brewed. Bitterness comes.

Saw it.

"Actually, mother has always wanted to save us." The old lady said softly, "...she just didn't understand before."

"And when I laid everything out in front of them, she actually knelt down to me and confessed."

"She said she almost lost me."

"Our mother is also great. Although she is a single mother eager to have a grandson, she no longer objected after knowing my change. She took the lead in destroying the laboratory."

"—did you know? I heard her call me daughter."

When she said this, the brilliance in the eyes of the old lady was like the tide on the sea.

For her, there is no better affirmation than this.

"Dongxue, I used to think, what's the point of my whole life for a person like me who was born with a wrong gender perception and became a different kind of person."

"But later, I gradually understood that no matter how bad and useless something is, it will always have traces when it comes to this world."

"Some people—maybe become projections in someone's eyes, shadow figures that cannot be resisted. They fall into the trap called "excellence" and can never turn back."

"But education has always been a beam of light that converges into another beam of light."

"I saw the vast world, and the light behind the tower."

"Because I have understood that no matter what, whether it is a waste abandoned by the system, whether it is an abnormal alien, or an existence that does not deserve to be accepted by our peers - we must walk freely and with dignity to the end. "

"You should remember that you are the leading actor on the stage of your life and the brightest color in the painting."

"You should remember that you are a flying chick, a shining star, and a glorious future."

“[--You remember, you own the vast sky and sea, you describe the miners who died, the bloody truth, you care about food and vegetables, and you have injustice and indignation towards the world in your eyes].”

"You have to remember, Dongxue, you are a unique existence."

"Because of something."

"It never existed for [meaningful]."

“[We were never anyone’s shadow].”

“[We always have the right to choose without regret].”

……

“[…and I’ve tried to live my life.]”
