Borrow light
Lan Ruoxi has always felt that she is a person living in the shadows.
She never dared to ask for her own light. Growing up, she was used to standing in corners and not being seen. If other people's light was too bright, it would reveal her shabby and embarrassed state - so she learned to hide.
But there were always times when light would fall on her uninvited - even just a little bit.
It was the change given by my sister, a ride from the Wang family, Qi Jin's words "Don't worry, it's okay", Xue Xinrui's carefree laughter, and the bottle of water that Jiang Xuici quietly handed over.
None of it was for her.
But she stood nearby and felt a little warm.
Like in the classroom on a winter night, someone turned on the light, and she happened to be sitting by the window - the light didn't deliberately shine on her, but she didn't have to touch the dark anymore.
She thought that maybe she could survive with a little light - at least, get through tomorrow first.
