Chapter 2224

"I'm here all the time."

Lanli's voice rang gently in her ears, which touched the softest and strongest part of Edith's heart. Inadvertently, it revealed her vulnerability. The hot tears ran across her cheeks, making her heart tremble slightly. Even if she clenched her teeth, she could not control it. She tried her best to clench her fist, but still could not restrain it, I don't know where the sadness came from, firmly grasped the heart, and finally... Finally unloaded her armor, revealing the truth of her hard work.

"Lan Li... I..."

Edith couldn't help choking, and admitted that her vulnerability and fear were even more difficult than she had imagined - she had been so strong for so long that she forgot what she looked like after taking off her disguise. In her hazy eyes, we could see the outline of blue Li, and her bright and deep eyes were like lighthouses guiding her way forward.

"Don't... Langley, don't let go... Don't... I need help."

The fear and cowardice, the confusion and darkness all dissipated. Edith finally bravely broke through herself, gave out her life of asking for help, and showed all her vulnerability and helplessness. In this way, she stood in front of blue ceremony.

It's not easy.

For Randy, it was not easy for Edith, even more difficult than Arthur's confession to randy on Oscar night. Because they have never learned how to express themselves, and all of them are deeply hidden in their hearts. Even though the hall family has undergone earth shaking changes, they still guard their own world carefully and never cross the line of "self-control" which has been handed down for a long time.

Until now.

"I will not." Langley steadfastly said, then took a step forward, slowly opened his arms and tentatively approached Edith. Then he could see Edith's trembling shoulder dodged for a moment, but he didn't flinch. He just kept his posture and waited patiently until Edith took off his guard again, So he hugged Edith in his arms.

Edith only felt that the broad wings wrapped herself up, all the storms were blocked out, and she entered the warm and calm harbor. The flustered and restless mood seemed to be able to calm down at last. That kind of peace made her completely abandon her armor and then wail.

The mood completely broke the bank.

Edith could not help herself to collapse, and she cried without reservation. In the darkness, she finally found a ray of light.

Because she was too wild and too turbulent, Edith curled up in tears, her body trembling slightly, like the withered leaves in the cold wind.

That tears the heart crack lung of cry to let blue Li all not from the heart sad rise, the eye socket tiny pan red. He knew, he knew that feeling, just like being wronged, he wanted to cry out all the negative emotions. He was lonely for a long time, but he was surprised to know that when he had a companion, his emotions could not be described by words.

Maybe, he can never imagine what Edith has gone through, and the only thing he can do is to be strong and become the strongest and staunchest backing of Edith. He won't let go, absolutely not.

Lanli hugged Edith in this way, did not speak or move, quietly let all Edith's emotions release.

Gradually, Edith was tired of crying, and her spirit was faint. The embarrassment of shame began to appear. But she was too tired and too painful to worry about her shyness. She just wanted to have a long, long sleep, and then her eyes closed.

By the time Edith woke up again, night had come.

Outside the car window, you can see the dim yellow street lamps are trying to support. The drizzle is pouring down through the halo, and there is a faint sound. It seems that London is humming a long-standing poem, praising the beauty of the night and the loneliness of winter, revealing a lonely beauty.

Edith struggled to sit up and realized that she was lying in the back seat, sleeping for hours, and the street view outside was familiar - it was obviously not the supermarket, but the hall house in bestwater; But Edith didn't understand why Langley was back here.

She opened her mouth and tried to ask the reason, but before the voice came out, Edith chose to give up. Her eyes fell on the house, quietly watching the yellow light, penetrating the hazy rain curtain——

She can clearly identify the location of each room, and her memory is still vivid, as if she had never left this simple and solemn cage; But she could not find any warmth here, let alone a sense of belonging, as if she had only been here for a summer, just like a guest.

They all used to live here, but they never belong here. Before, she thought that ALF belonged to bestwater; Now, she knows that even ALF never belongs here, because beswater has no soul, it has a body, and those souls come and go here without leaving any traces. What George and Elizabeth carefully maintain is just a mirage.

Langley left. Arthur left with her. ALF left. In the end, even Elizabeth left. Now only "Baron hall" still sticks to the empty shell, but Edith is not sure how much glory "Baron hall" has left when Philip turns away.

Inexplicably, Edith found a touch of peace in the bottom of her heart: because beswater always reminds her that this is the reason why she keeps running - in some ways, to escape from this cage.

"You didn't get lost?"

Edith finally spoke, but the first sentence seemed very... Unexpected, which made blue Li's eyes slightly twitch in the driver's seat.

"I got lost for nearly four hours, but I arrived at my destination after all." Lan Li also replied solemnly that he had no weakness since he was black.

Edith laughed cheerfully. "It's commendable." There was a moment's silence before she said, "how do you think of coming back to beswater? I thought you were the last person to want to come back here. "

"If I say, I miss it very much, do you believe it?" Lan Li's answer stunned Edith. She didn't need words. Her expression explained everything, which made Lan Li smile.

I miss the days when Arthur ate ice cream secretly in his bedroom and knocked it over on his bed, I miss the three of us having a barbecue in the tool room behind ALF's back, but actually she knows everything except that she didn't complain. I also miss the day when I told George about my dream plan... "

Those memories, good and bad, are still so fresh, just like yesterday.

Edith's smile also rose, fuzzy vision can be seen, she also fell into memories, those who think they forget but real memories.

"I will not change myself for the sake of George and Elizabeth, but I have to admit that the days of bestwater have made me who I am. Although I chose to leave baswater, it doesn't mean that I need to forget it. "

As Langley spoke calmly, Edith's thoughts began to become profound.

People always try to forget those painful memories and leave those good memories; But people forget that those difficulties and setbacks are also a part of their lives. It is those struggles and frustrations that shape themselves now - people defeated by difficulties eventually become mediocre, and then blame others; The people who defeat difficulties achieve themselves step by step, and the pain becomes a part of themselves.

Beswater left too many negative memories, but these memories are part of them, including George and Elizabeth. Also, the memory of Chu Jiashu is the same.

The memory of the battlefield was the same for Edith.

Edith's mood calmed down - not that she found the answer or calmness, but that she finally began to face her wounds. Even if she was afraid, even if she was flustered, she didn't shrink back and really began to look at the suffering. She still didn't know what to do, but she was willing to face her own bewilderment, It's like facing baswater.

"Lenley, I'm sorry." Edith said without warning.

"What?" Lanli didn't know why.

Edith doesn't explain - she's apologizing for what she said this afternoon. She condemns lanli. She thinks lanli doesn't understand anything at all. She just talks sarcastically... But those are all transferred anger. She shouldn't.

"I didn't know why, but I accepted." Blue Li continued to say, the corner of the mouth gently raised a smile, "only, this time, it's not the same."

"Ha." Edith also followed with a smile, "the great devil is still the great devil, I will not easily challenge the majesty of the great devil, don't worry." Edith joked. Her voice regained its vitality and seemed to return to normal at last, but Edith and Langley knew that they didn't.

"Langley, I want to go back." After a moment's silence, Edith spoke again.

No end, but this time Langley understood: Edith still decided to return to the front line, "do you think about it?" He didn't stop Edith after all.

"Well." Edith nodded gently, "... I have no answer. To be honest, I still don't have any ideas, but I know that the answer is there. I need to go back and find my own answer. Maybe, I will never find it; Perhaps, I may never come back; But... I have to go back. I need to go back. "

After twists and turns, the inner answer eventually emerged.
