Yuan Xiu received postcards and photos from Lu Manman.

In the postcard is Mount Fuji surrounded by cherry blossoms.

In that photo, there is a family of three under a large cluster of light pink cherry blossom trees:

The girl was wearing a lotus-colored hooded sweatshirt. Alex, who had gray hair on her temples but was still strong, held her high on her shoulders, and his other hand was holding Louis, who looked slightly confused.

The large pink cherry blossoms behind it are the foundation. The happiness of the family of three does not require any verbal organization, and you can feel it deeply through the photos.

Whenever Lu Manman went to a place, he wrote a letter to Yuan Xiu and attached a postcard at the same time. This seemed to have become a habit.

Yuan Xiu counted the postcards he received, the Chenglan Beach in Phuket, the Egyptian Sphinx, and the wasteland highland full of heather flowers in Edinburgh...

In the year without her, the winter in the capital seemed particularly long, and the spring breeze came late.

The day Yuan Xiu received her letter, all the spring peaches bloomed in the city.

He sat in the quiet library of the school, with GRE's reading book spread out on the table, with traces of red pen drawing on the paper. His slender fingertips held the postcard from Japan, and looked out casually from the window.

After the spring rain, the streets of the campus were wet and shining, with fine petals falling, and were crushed by passing tires.

It was early this time, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. Only the students who took the postgraduate entrance examination hurriedly, stepping on the fallen flowers, splashing spring water.

A feeling of longing arises in my heart.

He breathed deeply, hoping that this spring would be faster and faster. As summer approached, he might be able to see his girl as soon as possible.

There was a long letter at his hand, which he couldn't help but pick up, rub and read over and over again. The letter was written in Chinese, and the grammatical errors were asked to be modified by Yuan Xiu with a red pen. When she came back, she would correct it with her.

His girl's face is still the same.

At noon, Yuan Xiu, carrying an academic backpack, passed by the old computer department building and stopped.

The ancient trees in the college are towering, gray walls and black tiles are covered with green vines, and a large area of ​​oil is particularly green after the rain. The all-European college style looks more and more medieval because of this ancient preservation.

The Department of Computer Science should be the youngest department in the entire university. Yuan Xiu couldn't help but walk in, sit under the towering ancient tree, and read Lu Manman's letter.

Lu Manman in the letter seemed to be next to him vividly, holding his handwriting, chattering and telling him what he saw during the journey like a sparrow. The nickname of the little chatterbox was not in vain.

She said that riding an elephant in Thailand was very exciting, and she was almost touched in South Africa. The heather in Scotland was very smelly and smelly. Alex complained last night that she had too much gray hair on her head in the past six months and wanted to dye it perm...

All kinds of things.

Yuan Xiu put down the letter, let the depressed longing in his chest be slightly blown away by the wild wind before he got up and left.

We should be able to meet soon.

Yuan Xiu heard Lu Manman say before that Louis comforted Lu Manman who loved to cry when he was a child and said that he was a little princess and one day he was caught in the devil's cave by the great devil. Lu Manman was a brave knight who could wield his sword, shatter his sword, cut through the sea of ​​fire and rescue him from the devil's cave.

In the letter, Lu Manman told Yuan Xiu that Louis was still struggling in the demon cave and had not found a way out. The brave Lu Manman Knight must find a way to go to him and save him from the maze of his soul.

In the letter, she also reminded Yuan Xiu to keep warm when cooling down and not to behave coolly and to show off in front of the girl; and, don’t think that you have good English and don’t read GRE books seriously. She is still waiting for a top-notch boyfriend from lvy league (Ivy) to let her go out and show off.

This girl of age is quite vain. She hopes that her boyfriend is awesome and can show off her best friend. So Yuan Xiu set a small goal for herself-

Let's go to Harvard first.

...

The S-Series World Championship ended at the end of midsummer, and it was already the end of September for the team to return to China.

First, Louis's injury is unreliable, and second, the sorrow of parting lingers in everyone's heart and cannot be removed.

Although there is a banquet that will end in the world, who would have thought that the accident would catch the separation so unexpectedly.

Lu Manman could not return to China with the team. She had to stay with her family and accompany Louis to survive this period of mental haze.

Since that incident, Louis has hardly laughed much, nor communicated with his family. He is like an autistic child who traps himself in his own spiritual world.

The doctor said this was a stress response in the face of a crisis. What happened that night caused severe trauma to his mind, and he separated his mind from his body to avoid suffering.

The doctor also said that maybe one day he would suddenly come out and return to normal, maybe... he would never come out.

Lu Manman has to be with Louis. When the family is together, there is no need to be afraid of anything, and all difficulties will be solved.

Louis is very busy at work and rarely has time to be with his family. Most of the time, Alex and Lu Manman have dinner together, watching TV and playing games together.

Alex said that although Louis usually talks very little, he doesn't express his emotions much.

In fact, he was particularly envious of Alex and wanted to have more time to be with Lu Manman. He didn't want to be a "bad" father who came back one night to check his homework. He found that there were too many mistakes and became anxious and angry, so he scolded his daughter for crying.

In fact, he would rather be able to play Little Bastard game console with Lu Manman, or to stay on the sofa and watch soap opera horror movies...

Hey, how happy.

But how can you see happiness in life without tears? There must be someone at home taking on the burden of the economy, and someone at home sacrifices more time to accompany your family and gives the best life. There must be a fierce parent, a crying child, walking on the most correct path.

Even if the child does not kiss him in the future, he will have to play such a "bad father" role as a guiding light for her future life.

Louis resolutely chose to take on this important task, and he loved his family deeply.

Therefore, it is as sweet as you can.

Until Lu Manman returns to China and leaves his two fathers, every night when they are quiet, Louis will confide in the misty sleeping Alex, saying that he used to be too strict with his children and that the children would not blame him.

Alex murmured: "No, Lu Manman still loves you very much."

Louis was always worried that Lu Manman would come to China and one day find his biological father. His biological father was handsome, rich and gentle. What should he do? He was so fierce, what if Manman disliked him and didn't want him?

At that time, Alex had fallen into a deep sleep, and Louis couldn't sleep for a long night and was worried.

Alex knew that since Lu Manman returned to China, Louis had a dream that he could travel all over the family, and travel around the world. Anyway, as long as the family is together.

He must "reform" and not be a "bad father" or a gentle, patient and handsome good father.

However, this time, Lu Manman became a gentle and patient good daughter. She took good care of Louis all the way, took photos of him and Alex, and compiled all the people and things he encountered in China into jokes and told them to her two dads to make them happy.

But Louis never laughed, which made Lu Manman feel very disappointed. She felt quite humorous, although Alex laughed very hard most of the time.

Under the cherry blossom tree on Mount Fuji in Japan, Alex tells Lu Manman about what happened to Louis when he was a child.

Louis suddenly silenced, not because of his childhood experience.

Alex's family is complete and happy. He has been running and growing up in the ranch in Tennessee since childhood, and is naturally optimistic and positive.

Louis's parents divorced very early. He followed his alcoholic father. When his father drank high, he often beat people and cared for him very little about his children, which led to Louis' withdrawn personality.

After Alex moved to the city to study, he often saw Louis, who was isolated and bullied by his classmates, hiding alone in the small garden, holding his knees, tightening his body, trembling, but he just didn't cry, like a spring that stretched to the extreme.

During the time I just met, Louis didn't speak, and he was alone, sealed himself in a strong inner fortress, and never interacted with others.

They were studying in the same public school. In the school, Louis always ranked among the top scores. He studied without asking about anything else. His smart mind often won first prizes in various competitions.

But he has no friends.

Alex was his first friend, because he was so obscene and optimistic. Even though Louis often ignored him and showed the cold attitude that a genius should have, Alex didn't care.

Every day after school, he held Louis's shoulders, got along with him, and even used his buttocks to push him, and even compared him with whom when peeing...

Finally, the duo made Louis laugh. His cold character collapsed, and Louis was no longer tightened like a spring. Facing the carefree Alex, he finally revealed his heart to him.

Of course, a sincere heart also explained it.

At that time, as long as Louis's father was drinking and beating people, Alex would always climb over the fence and rush into the house to protect Louis.

Lu Manman was fascinated by the sound of hearing it until Alex talked about the midsummer of the year when he was eighteen years old, when he and Louis were taking a bath in the river and accidentally had each other, she finally interrupted him.

"This... you don't need to know the specific details of this paragraph."

"Louis is actually very soft-hearted, a bit like a girl. He doesn't like to argue with others, and is very upright in principle. He does things seriously and has a rigorous attitude, but is humble and gentle.

I promised him that I would never let him be bullied by others in my life, but I still couldn't do it..."

"Alex, don't blame yourself."

Lu Manman comforted him: "No one would have thought of this."

Alex was so good to Louis that he had nothing to say, and his childhood sweethearts seemed to be bullying the taciturn Louis, but most of the time, he kept giving in to him and taking care of him.

Under the cherry blossom tree not far away, Louis sat obediently on the picnic cloth, picked up a petal and put it in front of him.

He narrowed his left eye and looked at the world through the small light pink petal.

This world that once brought him countless violence and harm made him rather close his own world.

Under the cherry blossoms, the white and handsome man on his temples gently brushed the ends of the girl's hair, brushing the fine petals on her shoulders off.

Lu Manman's height has just reached the position of his chest, and the cuteest height difference is just like this.

She looked up and smiled slightly at Alex.

However, while she was caught off guard, Alex brought her over and threw her over. Lu Manman fell into a mess. The man pointed at her and laughed, leaning back and forth.

The style of painting changed dramatically.

Lu Manman realized that she had been plotted against by the old guy Alex. She got up from the grass, patted her butt, screamed and rushed towards Alex, jumped up and climbed onto his back, and hammered him hard.

"Alex, you guy is so bad, ma'am!"

"Stupid girl, she's big or small, come down quickly! Oh, it hurts so much!"

"Who is neither big nor small, ah?

Who is neither big nor young? Can you be a dad? Don’t always plot against me and attack me! Other dads regard their daughter as treasures, and you treat me as a fool!"
