Chapter 815: Extra 4

She was an unloved child; her father was always busy, her mother was always hitting her, and she had to do all the chores in the house. Every time her younger brother cried or her father didn't come home, her mother would hit her.

"It's all your fault, you money-losing goods! Why don't you just die? If you died, our family would have one less mouth to feed, and your father wouldn't have to go out on missions every single day!"

Those words, one after another, were like knives, slicing through her heart.

Sometimes she would unconsciously think, how good it would be if she died. If she died, she wouldn't have to be in so much pain every day, her father wouldn't have to work so hard on missions, there would be enough food for the family, her brother wouldn't cry every day, and her mother wouldn't hit people anymore, right?

Until one time, when her mother was hitting her again, her father pushed the door open and took her away.

She met the light of her life. She was so dazzling that every time she saw her, her eyes seemed to sting a little. She looked so gentle and so beautiful. She spoke to her, bathed her, and washed her hair. Those gentle words were just like a fairy in a dream.

Was she dead?

Had a fairy come to take her away? Otherwise, how could she be so happy?

Her father sent her to her aunt's house. Her aunt would make delicious food for her every day, speak to her very gently every day, and teach her how to write and read. Her aunt seemed to know everything and understand everything.

Later, her mother and father divorced. She didn't know what divorce meant, but her mother took her younger brother and left, not wanting her anymore.

She hid in a corner and cried, and her aunt saw her. Her aunt gave her a milk candy and then said to her, "What a person can rely on is never others, but oneself."

"Dani, you must remember, be your own light!"

At that time, she didn't understand anything. She raised her head and asked, "Auntie, what is light?"

Her aunt smiled. The sunlight hit the window and shone in from outside. In the Northeast Camp, the only sun of the year bloomed on that day.

Without her aunt needing to answer, she seemed to know what light was!

Could she also be like this?

To become someone else's light!

Her aunt made her new clothes, and her grandmother came and took her back home. But in the bottom of her heart, she already had light; she was no longer afraid of the darkness, no longer afraid of the unknown road ahead.

Her father sent her to school, and she studied hard every day. In order to keep studying, she listened carefully in class and helped her grandmother with chores after school. Her grandmother was old, and her health had gotten worse and worse since coming to the Northeast Military Region, so she had to help her grandmother more so that her grandmother could do less.

In 1989, she was admitted to the Fashion Design Department of Beijing University.

Because she had promised someone that she would make clothes for her for the rest of her life—Auntie, following in your footsteps, I have come.

Looking at that moon-white figure, still the same as it was ten years ago, walking onto the podium carrying light, her aunt hadn't changed even after more than ten years; she was still someone else's light.

Her grandmother passed away. Her grandmother's health was poor, and although she had returned to her hometown, her health went from bad to worse, and she didn't last long before passing away.

Her father sacrificed his life while on a mission.

She and Erni relied on each other for survival. It was her aunt who had been supporting them all along. Her aunt said to them, "Don't worry about anything, just study hard and walk your own paths."

"Your father was a hero, and you are the descendants of a hero. You can hold your heads high and face all the gossip. Do you understand?"

Every time someone called them wild children, they would reply, "We are not wild children; we are the descendants of a hero."

Time and time again they refuted it; whoever bullied them, they would fight back, and whoever insulted them, they would refute.

She and Erni poured all their focus into their studies.

Finally, she was able to follow those footsteps, arrive at Beijing University, and see the person she could only see in newspapers.

Auntie, I'm here!

After graduating from Beijing University, she entered the An Group and became a fashion designer. During an exchange opportunity, she went to the Romantic Country for further studies.

After her further studies, she returned to the country and was poached by various companies, but she refused them all.

Some media asked, "Guangya, you clearly had better choices, why did you choose the An Group alone?"

She smiled slightly, with a smile on her face, "I came chasing the light, and I also want to become someone else's light."

"An Yinan, Auntie, I'm back."

That girl, who came chasing the light and acted for the light, fulfilled her promise.

On the world stage, she looked proud, "Because I am Huaxia, and because my light is named An Yinan!"
