EPILOGUE

CHAPTER 1 - SUNSHINE LEGEND

There was a legend, probably from the West, because only the West believed in angels and God. In the ancient east lived the Buddha and the Jade Emperor. Legend has it that there was a place where people were cursed by God for generations because their ancestors had made mistakes, and they lived in the dark forever.

In the darkness of the world, they could not see each other's faces. There were no flowers, no grass … It seemed that apart from humans, there was no other life form that could grow. Maybe you want to ask, what do they eat for a living? In this place, there was an animal called Darkness that grew at night. Darkness mainly relied on absorbing dark energy to survive, so Darkness could constantly grow, so they did not need to worry about the lack of food.

Clothes are not needed here, because neither can see the other, which is perhaps the most primitive state of humanity. Their ancestors had resisted this unfair treatment to God, but they had all failed and continued to live in darkness for generations. Later on, people were born in this dark world, so they believed that this was the true face of the world.

God has a daughter called Ya, Ya very much like to play around. One day she flew in the sky and saw the place in the dark, too, and went down to see what it was.

Ya was an angel. She could see the crowd in the darkness, but those people could never see each other. They only communicated through words, and eyes were redundant organs to them. Astonished, Ya saw that none of them were wearing clothes. She held onto a child and asked, Little friend, why are your people not wearing clothes? The child asked curiously, What is clothes? Why are you wearing clothes. "

Feeling very strange, Ya went to an old man and asked, Old man, why don't you have daylight here? The old man said, Since I was born, this is how it is. According to my father, our people are punished by God for breaking the rules of heaven, and all generations live in the dark. Ya said, So you've never seen the sun? " No. The old man nodded.

Ya went back to heaven and told God. God said, The people in that place deserve this punishment. You don't have to care, or you will be punished. Seeing that she could not persuade her father, Ya went to find a way to lure the sunlight into the darkness.

Seeing that the sun god would never visit that place, Ya stopped him and said, The Dark Lands never know what the sun looks like. Please go there once. The sun god said, I'm sorry, Princess. This is your father's order. I cannot disobey or I will be punished. Ya said, Then please tell me how to bring them sunlight.

There is light in the heavens, said the sun god. Just take it and sprinkle it there. It's just that the light is in the custody of God, and if you offend him, you'll be punished. Ya said, Thank you, Sun God. After Ya Fei left, the Sun God's voice came from behind, Princess, please don't ever think about that light seed … Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Since Ya knew that light could bring light to the Dark Lands, she decided to steal light from God, but it was not easy to obtain light. But it occurred to Ya that if the land of darkness were shrouded in sunlight, the people there would be freed from the curse of generations, and they would be able to live a normal life. Ya had the kindness and selflessness of her mother, Mother Earth, even if she was punished.

Ya then waited for the time to come, until the day came. God recalls all the gods to a sacred scripture, and this day is the birth of heaven and earth. It was only on this day that Ya was able to see her mother, the Mother of the Earth. On this day, the Heavenly Court was like a market, the gods were all happy. Ya thought of a way to steal the light seed.

Ya let her mother and sister lead him away, then sneaked into his chamber and stole the light from the Dark Lands.

Ya immediately rushed to the dark place and sprinkled the light down. Instantly, the darkness was dispersed by the light... The people there were blinded by the strong light, and Ya landed in a farmhouse where she thought they would be happy with the light she had brought. However, they didn't expect that they would cover their eyes in pain.

Ya suddenly realized that they had never seen light before, and that they would hurt their eyes because they could not accept the light. Ya exhausted her magic to heal the eyes of the people here, but Ya was no longer able to return to the sky because she had lost all of her power.

The moment they opened their eyes, they saw flowers blooming all over the mountain, and little grasses popping out from the ground … Groups of animals came back. They realized they were naked and went home to make clothes.

Ya tiredly sat on a rock. Seeing the brilliant smiles on the faces of the people, she felt that she had gained a better result in her efforts. Ya taught the women here to weave cloth for clothing, taught the men to plow the fields... Ya not only brought light to this place, but also brought hope to life.

God came back to find out that the light had been stolen, and then, seeing through the eye of heaven that it was Yakov, he took Judgement with him and went to the Dark Lands to arrest Yakov. Ya knew she couldn't stay here any longer, but there was nowhere to run.

People there begged for mercy for her, but the unselfish God destroyed her daughter's body so that she could never be a god again. After God left, the soul of Ya turned into rain, bringing the first rain to the people here.

After Ya's death, the people here commemorated her. The statue of the architectural elegance was worshipped as the goddess of the sun. It was sacrificed year after year and was worshipped for generations to come.

Luoluo did not know where she had heard this story. From then on, she fell in love with sunlight. Perhaps it was because her nature liked light, or perhaps it was because she was infected by the stories of the goddess's deeds.

Luoluo.

Hearing the voice, Luoshen turned her head and stretched her arm lazily across the lawn. Tian Xi walked over with a book in her arms.

Luoluo, you sure are carefree, coming here to sleep. Tian Xi complained. Then, she placed the book on the lawn and began to imitate Luoshu lying on the lawn. "

Just like everyone else, Tian Xi was the first friend Luoshu had ever met in university. Everyone clearly remembered their first meeting.

As for how beautiful she was, Luoluo felt that she was more beautiful than she was, so naturally there were many boys who pursued her. However, she was introverted and treated love very alone, so she had always had only one boyfriend. She hated girls who had two legs and thought they treated love unfaithfully.

This was how Tian Xi and Fallen Leaf got to know each other. That afternoon, after finishing her last lesson, Tian Xi went to the sports field to find her boyfriend, but the distance from the teaching building to the sports field was very far. She sometimes didn't understand why universities had to be so big, while primary schools had to be so small. When Tian Xi was in primary school, she remembered that the cafeteria and living quarters were in line three. She didn't have to worry about getting lost.

When she was passing by a small alley, she met a group of bad students. They blocked her path and wanted to bully her. Tian Xi was originally timid to begin with, but she was scared by the hulks so she kept backing off. Finally, she was cornered in a dead end. Tian Xi was shouting for help. However, ordinary students wouldn't walk on this path. She had chosen this dangerous path in order to get closer.

However, Luo Yin was not an ordinary student. She would never take a detour home, because in this world, other than that alcoholic dad of hers, she was not afraid of anyone else. Hearing that a girl was calling for help, Luo Ye walked over. Seeing that a group of men was bullying a pretty girl, she immediately rushed over unfairly, drawing her sword to help.

When that group of boys saw that another girl had arrived, not only were they not afraid, they even smiled and said that they would buy one for today. Tian Xi was so scared that she curled up against the wall. Luoluo threw her schoolbag on the ground and beat the boys into the ground. She looked at Luoluo in surprise. She had never seen such a brave girl like Luoluo.

Luoluo said, You guys don't know that this is a black belt for Taekwondo, right? … Come, let's continue. I don't dare to. The group of boys scrambled away.

Girls would always imagine that one day, when they were in danger, a Knight would suddenly appear. However, after that incident, Tian Xi and LuoShu had become good friends. Luoshu was a loyal person, but she was a well-known failure. Sometimes, Tian Xi would help Luoshu to complete her homework. However, Luoluo would also take out some gadgets to give to Tian Xi.

CHAPTER 2 - BREAKUP

Luoluo was still lying comfortably on the grass, as if she didn't hear Tian Xi's words. Tian Xi felt that she had been neglected, so she said, Luoshu, you actually ignored my existence.

Luoluo turned around to look at Tian Xi and said, Why are you free to come and find me today? I thought you and your boyfriend had continued to be sweet. Tian Xi said, Don't mention him. I get angry whenever he's mentioned. Luo Yin smiled and said, What's the matter, did the couple end up in an awkward situation? We've been together since high school, said Tian Xi. He was completely different then. He has changed now.

Luo Ye said, Changed? Did you do something to make him unhappy? Tian Xi said: No, I feel like he no longer cares about me since college. In the past, when we were together, he would always think about me. He would call me when he was free, when the homework was still so tedious, but ever since I went to college, I felt like he had his own world, and he was always very indifferent to me.

Luoluo had never been in a relationship before, so she naturally did not understand Tian Xi's thoughts. However, she had still seen a pig run before. Thus, Luoluo took out the things she had learnt from others to enlighten Tian Xi, Perhaps he is planning for the future as well. After all, he will carry much more things than girls in the future. However, she didn't convince Tian Xi. She said, Then there's no need to ignore me.

Tian Xi said, Although he didn't openly ignore me, I feel that after entering university, the number of girls around him has increased. I feel a deep sense of threat. Luoluo said, Are you thinking too much? The person he loves the most is actually you, or else he would have abandoned you and gotten together with those women. You think too much." She felt the warmth of the sun before gently closing her eyes.

Tian Xi pushed Lil 'Ye down and said, Don't fall asleep. I still have a lot of things to tell you. Luo Yin closed her eyes and said, Tell me, I'll help you think of a way. Tian Xi said, Tell me, what should I do? Should I break up with him? When Luoluo heard the word break up, she immediately opened her eyes and looked at Tian Xi, saying, You're crazy. The two of you have been together for so many years, and yet you want to break up because of such a trivial matter?

I don't want to break up with him either, but at this point, there is no way to redeem our relationship, she said. I think he's changed, he thinks I've changed, we get into a lot of arguments together, and the year we go to college is much more noisy than the three years we spent in high school. Luo Ye closed her eyes again, Then find out what problems have arisen between you two. Only then can you think of a solution."

Tian Xi also closed her eyes and said, There are too many problems between us. We really can't find all of them in a short time … But I'll talk to him. After all, I still love him. You're still watching Shakespeare's comedy? I like Ophelia in there, she actually likes Hamlet, said Dawn. Luo Ye said, You're that simple? If she likes it, then she wouldn't betray him."

Tian Xi no longer said anything. She closed her eyes as she lay on the grass with Fallen Leaf tightly. From time to time, she could smell the fragrance of the grass mixed with the smell of the soil.

After this incident, it had been a long time since Luo Ye had seen Tian Xi. After all, they were from different classes, and they weren't even in the dorms together. Luo Yin and every student in the class had a good relationship, so her popularity was exceptionally good. Luoluo had a cheerful personality. As long as her classmates needed help, she would not reject them. As a result, she would often become a labourer.

Lil 'Ye, there's something urgent at home today. Can you help me clean the classroom? Lil' Ye, can you help me bring dinner?, Lil 'Ye …, Lil' Ye …

Luoluo's habit of not rejecting others had slowly made her experience the consequences for herself, and her classmates' help to her had become more and more of a matter of course. The moment she entered the classroom, she felt her name being transmitted from all directions, along with a rhythm.

Luo Yin was the captain of the school's street dancing team. Her personality was rather carefree, and since she often addressed men as brothers, even if she had pretty good looks, no boy would chase after her. However, she also did not have the mood to be in a relationship. She felt that there were many things in this world that were more interesting than love due to greed. The most important thing was that she often heard Tian Xi complain in her ear about all the annoying things that happened in love. As a result, without her realizing it, she began to fall in love.

Luoluo's street dancing was very good. She was famous throughout the school for it, because during the freshman party, Luoluo's excellent performance had already paved the way for her to become a street dancing team leader. To be able to become the party leader of a street dancing team in her first year of university, Luo Ye's strength could not be underestimated. For example, some senior students who had worked in a street dancing team for four years could only be a small fry.

But like any other department in the university, none of the departments were at peace with each other as they appeared to be, and the civil war between them was even scarier. As a junior in the first year of university, Luoluo had become the captain of the dancing group too early. Naturally, this brought Luoluo quite a bit of trouble. For example, there would often be senior brothers and sisters who chose not to listen to her commands to threaten her rights. Luo Ye did not want to care too much about it. After all, she had only been in school for a year, so she could not offend those who had stayed for four years.

Yet, Luoluo had kept it up until one day, Luoluo had revealed her Taekwondo abilities, and those people no longer dared to disobey her orders. From then on, Luo Ye realized that the people in this world needed to be properly nurtured before they could be obedient.

That day, Luoluo was leading the dance team to prepare a new dance when Tian Xi arrived. When she saw Luoluo at work, she sat on the wooden bench and waited for her to finish. Tian Xi's eyes were glazed, as if she had experienced something terrifying. When Luoluo saw that something was wrong with Tian Xi's expression, she disbanded the party and went to look for her.

Why are you here today? Luoluo sat down beside Tian Xi, picked up the bottle of mineral water, and drank most of it in one gulp. Tian Xi looked at her and said, Be careful, don't choke. It's like you ran out from a drought. Luoluo said, I've gotten used to it. Usually, you can't drink water while dancing. This way, your teammates' attention will be distracted, making it hard for them to gather together again … the effect will be very bad. "

Tian Xi said, Luoluo, I'm leaving now. As Luoluo was drinking her water, she really choked … Tian Xi patted her back in fright and said, I've already made you drink water slower, just like how I want to steal your water. It wasn't easy for Luoluo to stop her coughing, then she said, You really broke up? … You lied to me. If we really broke up, would you be able to sit by my side so quietly?

Tian Xi lowered her head and said, Actually, I've already cried. I don't want to make you sad for me. Seeing that Tian Xi was probably telling the truth this time, Luoluo said, Alright, then tell me, why did you break up? He suggested it, said Tian Xi. How can he treat you like that? Watch how I teach him a lesson. Tian Xi pulled at Luojie and said, It's useless, he definitely won't look back anymore. I know him.

Luo Ye said, Didn't you go to talk to him? How did you end up like this? Tian Xi said, I had a good talk with him, but we didn't even talk for a bit before arguing. Then I left, angry, and he didn't come after me. Later on, when I got angry and thought about how it was also my fault, I went to find him, but …"

I saw him kissing a girl. What, this guy. Luoluo felt indignant for Tian Xi. Tian Xi said, Then I walked up to him and gave him a slap in the face and asked when it started. He said he had met the girl not long ago, and that she had taken advantage of the moment when we were at loggerheads. He said that since I saw the truth, he didn't want to hide it from me anymore, so he proposed to break up with me …

When Tian Xi said this, she couldn't help but sob on Luoluo's shoulder. Luoluo said, Don't be sad for such a man, it's really not worth it. It's also better for you to see his true face in time so that you don't sink deeper and deeper in. Tian Xi said, I've been with him for four years. My four years of love couldn't even resist the temptation of a girl." Luoluo didn't know how to persuade Tian Xi. After all, she had no love experience.

If the old one doesn't go to the new one and the new one doesn't come, then maybe this one will leave and the fate that really belongs to you will come. Tian Xi shook her head and said, No... I don't believe in love anymore. All men are liars. All men are liars. With that, he laid in Luoshen's arms and began to cry.

Perhaps, this was how love was like, Luoluo thought. Paying and reaping benefits were not always proportional. However, when she saw the current Tian Xi, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. What would she do if her boyfriend was taken? But she definitely couldn't take away someone else's boyfriend. It was a moral thing to do.

CHAPTER 3 - WHEN THERE ARE DIFFICULTIES

A month before she lost her love, Tian Xi still hadn't gotten out of her pain, but she later found out that the best way to get out of the pain of love was to start a new relationship. This famous saying was told to her by a senior sister who had lost her heart in love, and Tian Xi began to look for her chosen one.

Until one day, when Tian Xi ran to the sleeping Luoshu and shook her head. Luoshu slept very soundly, with no reaction at all. Tian Xi then shouted loudly, Luoshu! Seeing that it was a prank by Tian Xi, she said angrily, I was tired all day yesterday, why didn't you let me have a good night's sleep? Tian Xi said, Lil 'Ye, let me tell you a piece of good news.

Luo Ye said listlessly, What good news can you possibly have? Tian Xi said, I have a new boyfriend. What? Luoluo never would have thought that Tian Xi would be so fast. She thought Tian Xi still hadn't come out from the pain of their breakup, but she actually had a new boyfriend.

When Tian Xi saw the distrustful look on Luoluo's face, she said, It's true this time, because this one is even more outstanding than the last one … Lil 'Ye, you really are my lucky star. Tian Xi said as she held onto Luoluo's arm. Luoluo shook off Tian Xi's hand and said, You're about to break my neck. Tell me quickly, who is he? Tian Xi said, Thanks to what you said last time, the new one won't come … I originally thought that I would only be able to like that person for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect …

Luoluo said, Alright, tell me what he does? Tian Xi said, He's the captain of the guitar team... Do you know him? Luoshu shook her head, If I wasn't on the dance floor, otherwise, I wouldn't have known that there was a dance hall team in the school by the time I graduated. I know you're a saint, and I never care about the details, she said. He is a very talented person and he is very handsome.

Luoluo said, Then how do you know him? Tian Xi said, I'm the captain of the cheerleading team. A few days ago, I took my teammates to cheer for the basketball game, but then I met him … When he was playing basketball, he was also very handsome. The key point was that he took the initiative to ask for my contact information. At that time, I saw a lot of girls look at me with envy.

Then you're in love? Luoluo said. He confessed to me last night, and I promised him... I can't let such a good boy run away. Luoluo said, I thought you were going to be sad for a long time. Your healing abilities are so great. Tian Xi said, Of course, that person didn't want me first... I want him to know that abandoning me is the regret of his life, so I want to find a better boy.

Luo Yin smiled, It's good as long as you're happy. Tian Xi held onto Luojian's arm and said, Lil 'Ye, their basketball team still has a lot of good seedlings. They're all over 180 handsome men, do you want me to introduce them to you? Luoluo said, Come on, I'm not prepared to fall in love. Looking at you everyday can cause all sorts of headaches. Tian Xi said, Lil 'Ye, I'll bring you to see my boyfriend after a while. Luo Ye nodded.

Luoluo had returned to her own life, and Tian Xi had once again fallen in love. Luo Yin's carefree personality did not always bring her benefits, on the contrary, it was even more troublesome.

At that time, this book was very popular. Xiao Yue, who was at the same table as her saw it, and wanted to lend it to her to read. She then said to Xiao Yue, If you can snatch the book from my hands, I'll give it to you. Xiao Yue knew that she was messing around with her, so she really went to snatch it.

They ran in circles in the classroom. Luo Yin played with the book in her hands, because she felt that Xiao Yue would definitely not be able to get it … Afterwards, Xiao Yue ran over and pressed down on Luoluo's hand. Luoluo accidentally threw the book out the window with her other hand, and then heard a sound from below, Ah … Ah …

When Luoluo looked out the window, she saw that the book had hit a teacher and that teacher had fainted on the spot. Luo Yin knew that he had caused trouble, so she told Xiao Yue, This has nothing to do with you. I was the one who did it. Just say that you don't know anything. Xiao Yue was scared silly, she could only listen to Luoluo's arrangements.

This teacher was sent to the hospital, and it took a very long time for her to receive her teacher's forgiveness. Only then did she not have to be expelled from the school. But as a punishment, Luoshen had to clean the toilet alone for a week.

After this punishment notice was posted, many people looked at Luo Ye sympathetically. If she was the only one to clean all the toilets in the entire school, then the toilet sweep auntie would probably hide somewhere and secretly laugh.

On the first day that Luoshu cleaned the bathroom, Tian Xi came back with a mop. Luoluo looked at Tian Xi in surprise and said, Why are you here? Tian Xi said, It would be weird if you weren't tired and could clean all the toilets in the school by yourself. How do you know that I've been punished to clean the toilet? Tian Xi said, The entire school knows, but you're really capable... To think that you would use a book to smash your teacher's head off the fifth floor. Actually, I quite admire you."

Luo Ye said, I didn't do it on purpose … Tian Xi said, I know you definitely don't like that teacher. Since I was young, I've never had as much courage as you. So to be honest, I really admire you. There are still many students praising you for your bravery. Luo Ye said, I don't know him at all.

After Tian Xi accompanied Luoshu to clean the toilet in the entire school every day, she was completely drained of energy. She even lost her appetite. Luoluo felt very sorry for Tian Xi, so she said, Xi, don't come tomorrow. It's too tiring to do this, right? Tian Xi glared at Luoshen and said, If I don't come, I probably won't be able to see you anymore. With so many testing sites, you'll have to clean them until next year.

Luoluo hugged Tian Xi and said, Xi, you're great. I'm really happy to have a friend like you. Tian Xi said, Luoshu, have you washed your hands yet? Luo Ye said, I don't think so. Tian Xi pushed Luoshu away.

I talked to my boyfriend about you, she said. He said we could meet. Luoluo said, You wouldn't say a lot of bad things about me, right? No, said Tian Xi, I told him you were my best friend, but a troublemaker. Luo Ye said, That's not bad at all. Tian Xi said, The whole school knows that you need to clean the toilet... Of course he knows.

Luoluo said, I didn't expect me to become so famous all of a sudden. This is good as well … Sweeping the toilets can raise your profile, so why not? Tian Xi glared at Luoluo and said, You're actually happy about it. You said sweeping the ladies' room is fine, but you actually let the men's room be cleaned as well … "

Sweeping the men's restroom is an extremely awkward and embarrassing thing to do. Every time I clean the men's room, Luo Xin would stand outside the toilet and shout, Is there anyone else inside … We're about to clean the toilet. Hurry up and come out." It was okay to meet a good guy, they would leave in a hurry, but meeting one of those pranks was a headache.

That time, no one responded even after Luo Lil 'Ye shouted for a long time, then she walked in as she thought there was no one in the toilet. However, a boy was taking off his pants. Luo Xinxin was so scared that she ran out of the room. She felt disgusted and didn't eat a single mouthful for the whole day.

Another time, she made a joke. Just as she was about to come out from cleaning the men's restroom, a male student walked in. When he saw her, he looked embarrassed, then lowered his head and went to the ladies' room. When Tian Xi was cleaning the ladies' room, she could imagine how fast that boy had run out.

This week was the longest of Luoluo's life, but luckily, she had a good friend, Tian Xi, to stay with her. Otherwise, if she was allowed to clean so many toilets, she might not be able to see her anymore, just as she said.

She finally managed to endure through this painful week. She was so tired that she laid on the table, preparing to sleep for the entire week. Just as Luo Ye laid down, she heard a voice from behind her, Next, please invite Student Luo Ye to come and have a talk with us. What's your thoughts for this week? Applause of schadenfreude instantly filled the entire classroom.

She raised her head and saw that all her classmates were looking at her, especially the four-eyed guide on the podium. She walked up to the podium and looked at the gloating crowd below — Xiao Yue was one of them. Luo
