A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

John was immediately excited when he heard Xiaoxi's suggestion to find a rabbit in the sky.

Because he used to do this when he was bored, but he had never looked for the shape of a rabbit formed by stars in the sky.

"Well, I will definitely find the best rabbit constellation."

"Then let's see who can find it first."

The boy and the girl sat on the dead tree with their pupils wide open, looking up at the pale blue starry sky and the pale yellow full moon.

"I found it." Xiaoxi said quickly.

"Where is it?" John asked anxiously.

"In the sky"

"Where in the sky?" John's pupils reflected the night sky, but he still couldn't find it.

"Think boldly. It's bigger than the others."

"I can't find it. Wait, wait. I see it." John made a cheerful celebratory sound.

"Tell me what you see." Xiaoxi's pupils slightly glanced at the side face of the cheerful and excited boy sitting next to her.

But when Xiaoxi asked this question, Jiang Ying's whole body shook.

This question felt familiar.

Jiang Ying remembered very clearly that in the first few chapters of the novel, when the protagonists Neil and Eva had not yet explored John's memory so deeply.

After John and Xiaoxi had been married for decades, John once told her that he approached Xiaoxi only because he thought she was quiet, cool and unique.

From that day on, Xiaoxi folded paper rabbits again and again, and kept asking John.

What did he see.

Jiang Ying's memory overlapped with the content of the eighth chapter of the novel.

"Is it there? There are two ears and a head!" John pointed excitedly at the starry sky.

That was the top of the moon, with a pair of ear-like stars dotting the moon.

"What else?" Xiaoxi asked.

"And there are two feet."

That was the bottom of the moon. After a dozen stars were connected into a line, the music could see that it was in the shape of a pair of feet.

"That's right, is there anything else?"

"The moon."

"It's its round belly."

Jiang Ying turned the page of the book and saw an illustration in cartoon colors.

The light blue sky is dotted with stars, and the light yellow moon hangs high.

The boy points to the moon in the sky, and the girl sits beside him, with her short orange hair so conspicuous and charming.

In the sky, the connection between the moon and the more than 20 stars around it is like a rabbit with its limbs spread out.

The light yellow moon becomes the belly, the light blue sky becomes paper, and the stars become legs and ears.

The image of a blue and yellow rabbit, under the guidance of the text and the comparison of this illustration, is vividly outlined in Jiang Ying's mind.

Rabbit

Paper rabbit.

Blue and yellow paper rabbit

Jiang Ying held her breath at this moment.

She thought of the early stage of the novel plot, in the later period of Xiaoxi's life, she folded paper rabbits again and again, and asked John over and over again, what did he see?

Jiang Ying's whole body was covered with goose bumps.

In an instant, tears could not stop gathering in her eyes.

She probably understood why Xiaoxi asked John about the topic of rabbits over and over again in her old age.

Xiaoxi in her old age. She probably hoped that John could remember the carnival, the night sky, and the dead tree decades ago, from the blue and yellow paper rabbit she folded.

They found this blue and yellow rabbit in the sky together that night, which was composed of stars, night sky and moon.

"So, what do you think these stars are?" John looked at Xiaoxi and asked.

"I, I have never told anyone. But I think stars are lighthouses." Xiaoxi said.

→

"Thousands of lighthouses are shining and standing at the end of the world. The stars can see the lighthouses on the other side. They want to communicate with each other, but they are powerless. They are far apart and can't hear what each other is saying. All they can do is try their best to shine. This is the only thing they can do. Let the light shine on other lighthouses and also on me."

"Why you?" John asked curiously.

"Because one day, I will become their good friend."

Lighthouse? .Xiaoxi, is she talking about herself?

Because of her mental illness, she can't communicate well with others. No matter what she says, no one can understand her.

Only tonight, this little boy she met for the first time, Xiaoxi and him hit it off at first sight, chatting about everything, watching the moon and the stars.

So, in the plot of the previous chapter, why did Xiaoxi let John build a house next to the abandoned lighthouse on the cliff? It was because she felt that the lighthouse was lonely, just like her, so even if she died, she wanted John to build a house and protect the lighthouse, and her own tombstone was also erected next to the lighthouse to protect it.

Stars and lighthouses, in Xiaoxi's view, are lonely, just like her.

Distant, untouchable, but shining.

She is of the same kind as them, and even more so friends.

So, in the later stage of her life, she will use all her strength to protect the abandoned lighthouse.

"What's in your bag?" Xiaoxi looked at John's bag at this time and asked curiously.

John smiled proudly upon hearing this and took out a sandbag and a platypus doll from his bag.

Jiang Ying had not yet woken up from the touching revelation of the foreshadowing brought by the previous two plots, and there were still tears in her eyes, but a piece of text hit her heart directly.

This sandbag and platypus doll

Could it be the two items that Xiaoxi carried with her throughout her life?

Yuan Qing, is your foreshadowing buried here?

The sandbag was thrown off the cliff by John when Xiaoxi was middle-aged.

And the platypus doll, Xiaoxi had always carried it with her until her death, and she never lost it.

"These two are the prizes I won from playing whack-a-mole." John said proudly.

"Can I see it?"

John handed the doll to Xiaoxi.

"It looks so strange. I really hope I can win one back."

"My mother called me." John heard his mother calling him at the foot of the mountain and was about to leave.

"This." Xiaoxi called him.

"Take it, they are yours. I gave it to you. I will definitely win another one." John smiled and looked back at Xiaoxi and said goodbye.

Xiaoxi was silent.

"Will you come here again at the carnival next year?" Xiaoxi took a deep breath, looked at the boy in front of her, and mustered up the courage to ask this question.

"Of course. What about you?" John said confidently.

"Yes."

"Same place, same time?"

"Yeah."

Jiang Ying's tears burst out when she saw this.

Because this story is a flashback structure, tracing back from John's old age to his childhood.

Jiang Ying knew all the stories that followed.

Half a year later, John's brother Joey died because of his mother's mistake. He forgot a lot of memories after his mother poured a lot of beta blockers.

Naturally, this also includes the agreement between John and Xiaoxi.

John definitely didn't come the next year.

"What if you forget or get lost?" Xiaoxi finally asked this question carefully.

The little boy John in her eyes was as dazzling as the stars in the sky that she regarded as a beacon.

"Then. We will always meet on the moon. Fool." John laughed and said.

"It's in the little rabbit's belly."

Hearing this, Xiaoxi held the platypus doll John gave her, sat on the dead tree, and stared at the starry sky.

She held this platypus for her whole life!
