The home was very quiet. Chi Xiaohui opened the door lazily. Her father was sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring at the TV in a daze. There was a strange smell in the air. He didn't go home last night and drank outside all night.
She was still a little dazed from drinking the wine, and choked on the strange smell. She couldn't help but sneeze and muttered.
"Dad, what kind of perfume are you using? It smells so strong? Where are they? Is mom not here? Isn't sister and Xiaomin and Xiaowan not here either? Have they learned to wander outside now?" Kicking off his shoes, Chi asked
Xiaohui sat down on the sofa, leaning against her father's body, smiling stupidly, staring at her father, frowning, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me with such an expression? I'm blooming."
Did you? Didn’t you just drink a little bit of wine? Hehe, just a little bit, I promise, your daughter and I only drank a little bit!"
Chi Sen let out a long breath. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt very defeated and lonely. Last night, the four children were not at home. Xiaoman was in the hospital. Xiaomin should stay with his biological father. Maybe Xiaowan
Watching Xiao Man in the hospital, Xiao Hui was probably fooling around somewhere. He and his wife were alone, and his wife was resting. He sat in the living room until dawn, and until Xiao Hui came back, he didn't move or look at himself.
whether the wife wakes up.
"How could this happen?" Chi Sen looked at his second daughter helplessly, "How could you guys do this? How could you do this! - Where have you been fooling around?! I've been pampering you and letting you go.
Are you, is this my biggest failure?!"
Chi Xiaohui still had a silly smile. When she first entered the door, she was still a little sober. However, when she sat down and saw her father who loved her the most in her home, all pretense was suddenly put aside.
I immediately became drunk and hazy. However, I could hear every word my father said.
Staring at her father, Chi Xiaohui smiled stupidly, smiling with her face as bright as a flower, but suddenly she shed tears, "Dad, I have no one to accompany me, they are not here, my sister and brother
, Sister, they all have their own things to be busy with. Sister, life is worse than death for that boy Du Hui. Xiao Min, that abominable playboy, has his biological father and has forgotten all of us, as well as the stupidest Xiao Wan.
, falling in love with a man who is impossible to keep for the rest of his life, that man must have another woman in his heart. The look in his eyes when he looked at Xiaowan was so clear. This is not love, just pity! I don’t know many things, but,
I may have been with more men than they have ever seen, and they are as pitiful as me! - I know that Lu Yurong and I will never be together again, and I also know that I may not have feelings for him.
How much I care. But, but, dad, I just can’t believe that I don’t care!——"
Chi Sen sighed, put his arms around his daughter's shoulders, and said softly: "Emotions are sometimes hard to explain. Emotions are more than just mutual pleasure. Sometimes, they are a kind of responsibility and necessity.
When we meet someone, love is the product of getting along with each other. Some love is love at first sight, and some love is love that lasts for a long time. Xiaohui, you and Lu Yurong grew up together.
Growing up in his eyes, living in his pampering until he forgets you, you can't let him go. It's the most normal thing. He has almost become a part of your life. How can you be calm when you suddenly want to give up? You, I'm afraid...
You have fallen in love with him, but you don't know it. This kind of love is a kind of familiarity and a kind of recognition, not the romance and beauty you imagined."
Chi Xiaohui looked at her father blankly, tears constantly coming out of her eyes.
"I have been watching you grow up. I have been there. I was young like you, loved and hated you, got married, had my own children, and have lived to this day. Sometimes, people don't have the right to live.
Be free." Chi Sen let out a long sigh in his heart. He thought about it all night last night and figured out a lot of things. He has been living in his own story. On the surface, he seems to be a dutiful husband and father. In fact,
His silence harmed this family. If he had spent more time and sincerely thinking about the children, things would definitely not be like this now.
"Dad -" Chi Xiaohui felt extremely wronged and just wanted to cry. Her father was old and had a lot of white hair on his temples. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were getting deeper and deeper. "Dad, what should I do? What should I do?"
I just don’t know what to do! I’m disobedient, I’m not a good daughter, but you love me the most, tell me, what should I do so that he can remember me?!”
Chi Sen didn't speak. What could he say? What could he do?
"Not everyone can live as they please." Yu Xueqin's voice suddenly sounded. She was still wearing pajamas, with lingering tiredness on her face. She must not have had a good rest last night, "If you have lost it, you have to tell me
You have already lost yourself. Lu Yurong has lost his memory. Do you want him to die again and regain his memory? This is how he can think of you. If you love him, you like him, and you are willing to let him come again.
A life-and-death experience like that?"
Chi Xiaohui lowered her head and refused to speak. Is she willing? Is she willing? She doesn't know. She only knows that she hopes Lu Yurong will think of her immediately. She hopes there is someone who can be like Lu Yurong before.
Treat her rightly, protect her without any reason, recognize her as the only person in the world, even if everyone in the world is not ashamed of her, they will not dislike her.
There was no conversation in the room, and it became quiet for a while. The three people were each thinking about their own thoughts. The boring and lively TV was making the loneliness and helplessness felt at this time even more evident.
The phone rang suddenly. Yu Xueqin picked up the phone and asked softly: "Hello, who are you?"
"Xueqin, it's me, mom." Old Mrs. Yu's voice rang on the other end of the phone, with inexplicable anxiety and uneasiness in her voice. "I had a terrible nightmare last night, dreaming about that girl Xiaowan and me.
Saying goodbye, she said she was leaving and would never come back. Did something happen to her? Wasn't she getting married? Did she fall out with Sima? Or was it just a boring nightmare I had?
?”
"Xiaowan?" Yu Xueqin was stunned, glanced at her husband, hesitated, and said softly, "Mom, it's okay. Xiaowan is okay. She didn't go home last night. Maybe she was with Xiaomin, or maybe
Maybe she went to Sang Yue's place. Her father said that she called last night and said that she would not be back for a while because of something. She would be fine. She is the most obedient and well-behaved. She will not be willful, even if it is an emotional encounter.
No matter what the problem is, I won’t be so stupid that I can’t think of it.”
"Really?" Old Mrs. Yu's voice sounded a little hesitant. She paused and continued, "I called her cell phone, but no one answered, and no one answered Xiaomin's call. I'm just worried that if she comes back
Now, remember to ask her to call me back, or come over to see me, and tell her that grandma is most worried about her, and for some reason, grandma feels sad when she thinks of her."
"Okay, Mom, I understand. If it's okay, I'll hang up." Yu Xueqin hung up the phone, looked at her husband, and said softly, "Mom said she was very worried about Xiao Wan, afraid that she would not be able to think about it. She
Is everything okay between you and Sima? They seemed to have gotten into trouble a few days ago, I wonder what’s going on now?”
"It should be fine." Chi Sen sighed in his heart, what happened to these children? How did they end up like this? "She called last night and said that she had some things to deal with and decided not to go home at night.
Sima is here with you, so nothing will happen to you. Both of us are young and have just stepped into reality. It's okay to have disagreements occasionally. Maybe we are angry at this moment, but we will get along as good as before the next. Let's not bring trouble to ourselves."
Yu Xueqin let out a long sigh, sat down on the sofa, and was in a daze. After a long time, she softly uttered, "What's wrong with our family? Why is it like this?"
Everyone in the old site held their breath. The whole old site was so quiet that you could hear the sound of heartbeats. However, except for the sound of wind and the faint sound of rain, there seemed to be no other sounds here.
Chi Xiaowan's eyes were closed, not expecting, not daring to expect randomly. If Cong Yi'er was here, would she appear? Will she appear again for Sima? After a thousand years, is love still there? Or is she just a kind of soul?
?Can only convey a certain message?
It seems that the sound of wind and rain is becoming more and more obvious, it seems that there is some noise, it seems that someone is talking, and there seems to be some kind of feeling rising in front of my eyes.
"Is this really necessary?" A voice sounded softly.
Chi Xiaowan was stunned and subconsciously blurted out: "Yes, this is the only choice. Only in this way will Sima be happy."
Chi Xiaomin was startled. Professor Ouyang's first reaction was to look around immediately. In fact, there was nothing in sight.
Although Chi Xiaowan had her eyes closed, her tone sounded like she was talking to someone. Although she couldn't hear clearly what the other person said, she could clearly hear what Chi Xiaowan said.
Only Ouyang Qing's expression was sad, Sima! It was probably the only choice in her heart.
"Xiaowan——" Professor Ouyang looked at Chi Xiaowan.
"Professor, let's not disturb her. At this time, she is the only one who has an inexplicable connection with this old site. If we wake her up at this time, we may hurt her." Chi Xiaomin immediately stopped Professor Ouyang.
"But in this way, you have to give up yourself. Do you really think it's worth it to give up your current peaceful life and fall into chaos again? It's hard to leave and forget, but you have to think about it again and face it again.
Are you really ready?" The voice whispered softly in Chi Xiaowan's ears.
"It's worth it. As long as Sima can be happy, as long as he can live a happy life again, I can give up everything without any care." Chi Xiaowan answered seriously, looking at the space that appeared in her closed eyes,
Nothing existed, only the cold air swimming around her.
"She can really do it and talk to the people at this old site." Professor Ouyang murmured, "Maybe she can help us solve the mystery of this dynasty and let me know what this past was like in my lifetime.
"
It seemed to be a mirror. Chi Xiaowan slowly opened his eyes and saw a strange woman in the mirror, with a delicate face and a slight tear in her eyes. However, it seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, it was that painting.
? Chi Xiaowan frowned slightly and thought.
"How can I get you back?" Chi Xiaowan murmured.
No one answered her question. Everyone in the room heard her question, but did not hear any answer.
Chi Xiaowan stretched out her hand and gently touched the front. The face in the mirror was delicate and sad, dressed in red makeup, festive and brilliant, but she couldn't hide the helplessness in her eyes. There were faint sounds, noisy and chaotic, and blood on her chest.
The front kept popping up, but she only held one person's hand tightly, looked at it reluctantly, and heard a voice, "Forget me, and I will forget you, we will never meet again, okay?"
"No, absolutely not." It was Sima Yixuan's anxious voice. He tightened his grip and looked at the woman in front of him, "You can't forget me, and I will definitely not forget you!"
"It's better to forget. If you forget, there will be no more past and no more encounters." Cong Yi'er in red smiled tiredly and murmured tiredly, "I'm tired, Yixuan, I'm tired,
Tired - we have never been able to love each other well and simply, so don't meet each other, let's forget each other in the world, it's best, I promise I will forget you."
The voice was so low that it was completely inaudible, and all the words became blurred in Sima Yixuan's tears. Everything turned into smoke and dust in Cong Yi'er's eyes that slowly closed.
Forget, she wants to forget him, isn't she willing to come back?
