Rebirth: Illuminating a Brilliant Life
Chapter 19 Returning to My Hometown Alone
When Su Xuan made this bold decision, the whole world seemed to be stirred up by her. Her small figure, carrying her schoolbag and pocket money, resolutely boarded the train back to her hometown. The train roared across the vast land, carrying Su Xuan's determined and curious heart, heading towards the unknown future.
At school, teachers and classmates were the first to notice Su Xuan's disappearance. The previously quiet atmosphere in the classroom was instantly shattered; everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and worry. The teachers hurriedly contacted her parents, and anxiety filled the air. Su Xuan's parents, upon hearing the news, were devastated; their hearts clenched, and panic and fear gripped them. They frantically inquired about Su Xuan's whereabouts, making countless phone calls, hoping to get even a clue.
Meanwhile, Su Xuan was sitting on the train, watching the scenery rush by outside the window, feeling both excited and nervous. She knew her actions might worry everyone, but she firmly believed she had to be responsible for Yao Yao's happiness. She clutched her schoolbag tightly, which contained her courage and determination. She imagined meeting her future Uncle Yao, thinking about how to subtly test him.
As the train moved forward, Su Xuan's mood gradually calmed down. She began to reflect on whether her actions had been impulsive, but when she thought of Yao Yao, she felt that everything she had done was worthwhile. She secretly made up her mind that after completing this test, she would apologize to everyone properly and never do anything to worry them again.
Back in their hometown, Yao Yao, who is about to go on a blind date, and her unknown future uncle are unaware that a little "tester" is approaching them. Their fates are about to be altered by Su Xuan's courageous actions, leading to a unique encounter.
While Su Xuan boarded the train to pursue her plans, chaos and anxiety reigned on the other side. Her family and friends were frantic with worry, unable to fathom where that small figure had gone.
Su Xuan's parents were like ants on a hot plate, frantically dialing phone numbers, asking everyone they might have seen. Their eyes were filled with despair and worry; every passing second felt like a knife twisting in their hearts. They ran through every corner around the school, calling out Su Xuan's name, their voices trembling with hope.
Friends joined the search. They gave up their rest time, traversing the streets and alleys, leaving no possible clue unchecked. They recalled every moment spent with Su Xuan, trying to find where she might be. Their faces were etched with exhaustion and anxiety, but none of them wanted to give up.
A day and a night passed, and everyone was exhausted, but their worries had not lessened in the slightest. They couldn't imagine what a disaster it would be if Su Xuan had really been abducted. They prayed incessantly, hoping that Su Xuan would return safely.
Meanwhile, Su Xuan was still engrossed in her plan, completely unaware that her actions had caused so much pain and worry for everyone. She had no idea what kind of torment and suffering her loved ones had endured during her absence.
The moment Su Xuan stepped off the train, her feet touched the solid ground of her hometown train station. The familiar scent of the countryside washed over her, yet it couldn't ease the tension in her heart. She hurriedly pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialed her parents' number. As soon as the call connected, her parents' voices, filled with fear, anger, and endless anxiety, surged through the receiver like a tidal wave. Every syllable struck her heart like a hammer blow, making her eardrums buzz. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and guilt spread wildly through her heart like vines.
The image of her parents' distraught faces seemed to flash before her eyes: her mother's eyes were red and swollen, tears welling up but held back; her father's face was weary and anxious, the veins on his forehead bulging with worry. They must have been frantically searching for her in the streets and alleys, tormented by fear every minute, teetering on the edge of despair every second. Su Xuan felt as if her heart was being pierced by countless sharp thorns, the pain almost suffocating her, and a deep sense of self-reproach overwhelmed her like a flood.
When she mustered her courage and, with a slightly tearful voice, explained to her parents that she had returned home for her daughter's blind date and wanted to safeguard her happiness, there was first a heart-wrenching silence on the other end of the phone, followed by her parents' heavy sighs filled with helplessness. She could clearly sense that their anger hadn't subsided; they were just suppressing it, like guardians trying to protect the last embers of a flame in a storm. Her parents repeatedly warned her to be careful, and the worry and helplessness in their words pierced Su Xuan's heart like sharp blades once more.
At school, Meng Jiawei was like a caged beast, his brow furrowed, his eyes filled with deep worry, a worry that shrouded him like a dark fog. He paced back and forth in a quiet corner of the campus, each step filled with unease and anxiety, as if the ground beneath his feet was being churned into an invisible vortex. His heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, each beat accompanied by excruciating pain. The terrifying thoughts about Su Xuan possibly being in danger raged in his mind like a swarm of menacing demons, constantly trying to drag him into the abyss of despair. He tried desperately to drive these demons away, but they were like shadows, impossible to shake off.
When Meng Jiawei learned that Su Xuan had safely returned to her hometown, he felt as if he had struggled for a long time in the dark, boundless ocean and suddenly grasped a lifeline radiating hope. In that instant, every tense nerve in his body relaxed, as if he had been pulled back to safety from the edge of a cliff. He leaned weakly against the tree trunk, tilted his head slightly, looked up at the azure sky, and exhaled a long breath. That breath seemed to carry all his worries and fears, slowly dissipating into the air. In that exhale, he felt the relief after his worries, a sense of ease that came after a heavy burden; he also felt the relief that Su Xuan was safe, a joy of having her back; and a special emotion, like a seed buried deep in his heart, quietly sprouted at that moment, though he himself was unaware of it. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a beautiful arc, and he silently thought to himself, "You worrisome little girl, you really scared everyone." His eyes softened, as if Su Xuan's vibrant figure was right in front of him, and her bright smile dispelled all the gloom in his heart like sunshine.
