[The Invisible Scarecrow] 29: This is your real father
－－－－－－－－
"I have fantasized countless times that the person who died a year ago was me, not the healthy person!"
The child finished speaking in a low voice with a mature tone beyond his years. When he raised his face, tears were streaming down his face unknowingly!
Have you ever experienced the feeling of your heart being blocked or someone grabbing your throat so that you can't breathe normally and are slowly suffocating? Or maybe your chest was stabbed and stabbed hard by a sharp knife.
The painful feeling of blood gushing out when you go in and pull it out/out.
Yes, this is the feeling for Si Lan at this moment.
But he felt damn well like this feeling!
In the apartment complex at dusk, night is approaching. A man smoking on the balcony stretches out the finger holding the cigarette. The wind blows the lit cigarette butts, and the sound of the bluetooth headset worn on the ears is ringing.
He was respectful and polite, reporting in a routine manner.
"Mr. Si, I have collected the living conditions and relationships of Miss Lin in London, England during the past five years and sent them to your mailbox. Please take a look at them!"
The blue light of the computer screen lit up on the balcony, and slender fingers slid and clicked on the screen. The unread email that popped up was opened, and a five-page document was displayed, and the first page was
Not cumbersome text, but a photo.
The background of the photo is at a children's paradise. At the entrance of the paradise, she is wearing a yellow peaked cap and a casual outfit. She is squatting half-crouched, holding a child in one hand. Two little boys with the same clothes and almost identical looks are beside her.
In her arms, one is a very obedient one with one arm around her mother's neck, while the other seems to be more naughty and more posing, showing a big smile to the camera. The only difference between the two children is that
There is a small pink-blue protrusion on the earlobe of the child who is hugging his mother's neck. That is the children's hearing aid that Chengjia is wearing. The bright, lively and cute child in the photo -
The hand that was sliding the computer screen froze in mid-air. Is this the child who likes to call "Daddy" when he was young, always waiting for "Daddy" to show up when he fell, hurt, or got sick?
Chengyi, is that the name?
He just heard the name she shouted in a daze, was it him?
Si Lan suddenly lost the courage to continue reading. He knew that he would never see this child again in this life. A photo and a smiling face that made him feel extremely warm when he looked at it forcefully made him want to
The courage to continue was cut off. He moved his stiff shoulders, put the half cigarette into his mouth, took a deep puff, and then pulled down a page with his fingers.
Twenty-nine weeks and five days into the pregnancy, the baby was born prematurely. The mother suffered from fainting during pregnancy and suffered from gestational hypertension. The birth was almost life-threatening. One of the two children was congenitally deaf and autistic, and there was only one healthy child!
High fever, hospital, car accident, schizophrenia——
Along the window, you can see the balcony of the living room. The light in the room is soft. Little Chengjia patted her mother who was slowly falling asleep. She raised her face and saw the man sitting on the balcony, smoking hard.
.
This man is undoubtedly the most domineering and imposing man he has ever seen. His innate strength makes people feel a sense of fear unconsciously. It takes a lot of courage to even look into his eyes.
Chengyi was right, his father must be a great person, and after meeting him in kindergarten that day, the look in his eyes showed shock, confusion, and something hidden in his eyes.
Angry and observant, he understood. He was not surprised. That is to say, he never thought that he would meet him one day. His appearance in his life was an accident.
An accident that comes without his consent is no surprise.
Chengjia smiled bitterly and slowly lay back down next to her mother, holding her mother's hand with her hand to prevent her from falling asleep and unknowingly scratching her face, "Mom, we have been here for so many years,
We still persisted until now without him, so it doesn’t matter whether he exists or not, right? Mom?
－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The wind began to blow outside, and with the wind, raindrops swept in. The balcony was not a closed balcony, and the raindrops also rolled in, falling dots on the lit tablet. Si Lan stood up, not only because of the feeling in his heart
That decision was also made because at this time there was a knock on the door in the living room.
The doorbell rang several times, as if the door was opened too slowly. People outside started knocking on the door. Si Lan, who came from the balcony and walked through the small living room to the door, looked confused. He was not sure who was visiting at this time.
As he had told his friends before, he was not allowed to come over to disturb the mother and son until they had recovered from the chickenpox. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening, who was coming?
The peephole on the door was covered with a band-aid from the inside. It was obviously to prevent people outside the door from looking, and also to prevent people inside from seeing the situation outside. Si Lan felt that if he tore off the band-aid at this time,
Looking at the person outside the door, in the time it took to peel off the band-aid, he had already opened the door and faced him face to face.
He doesn't like to do things that waste time!
So in the next second, he opened the door decisively.
"I'm talking to Lin Xuejing, does it take so long to open the door? Are you trying to disappear by not answering the phone? Ah -" The person outside the door was talking about it the moment the door was pushed open.
She was still arranging her hair and clothes that were soaked by the rain, and patted the raindrops on her bag with her hand. Unexpectedly, she didn't get a reaction from the other party after she finished speaking. She raised her face, still holding her own in one hand.
With a strand of hair, he raised his face and looked at the person standing at the door, then stood frozen at the door with his eyes wide open.
Isn't it 606? It's 606. What's going on? Why is there a man here?
Mother Wei heard from her daughter that she was renting here temporarily, but this was her first time here. Of course, if Fan Chen hadn't made such a fuss in the hospital today, she would have been so angry that she had nowhere to go.
Even if she comes out, she will not come here to look for her daughter at this time.
But, who is this man?
"Hello, Aunt Wei, I'm Si Lan!" Si Lan didn't look surprised when he opened the door. After all, he had met Lin Xuejing's mother. Although he had not met her face to face, he remembered her voice.
Mother Wei was blocked by the other party's calm aura, which blocked the surprise and shock in her heart, and she also heard a familiar voice coming from the room. Little Chengjia had already climbed up from the bed, wearing
He stood in the living room in his pajamas and shouted "Grandma!"
Only then did Mother Wei finally confirm that she had not knocked the wrong person. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the smell of disinfectant in the room. When she saw little Chengjia, she was stunned. She hurriedly threw the bag in her hand on the ground and headed towards the balcony.
As she ran, the tall figure behind her strode to the balcony faster than she did. He reached out and closed the wide open floor-to-ceiling window with one hand. He forgot to close the window when he came in. It was windy and rainy outside.
, children should not be exposed to the wind.
Mother Wei is indeed a nurse. After checking the growth of chickenpox on her child, she went into the bedroom to check her daughter carefully. When she came out, she frowned. Her daughter had never had chickenpox when she was a child. Chickenpox is more serious in adults than in children.
You can tell by looking at my daughter's current condition.
only--
Only then did Mother Wei have the time to take a closer look at the man standing in the living room. The man was dressed in home pajamas. A man, dressed so casually in her daughter's house, and Xue Jing was not wearing any clothes, but she heard
Chengjia said that she had washed it with warm water. Chengjia's eyes looked a little strange when she said this. She had only taken her daughter's temperature just now and didn't have much time to think about the child's words. Now she will carefully
Think about it, it's impossible for Chengjia to give her daughter a bath, right? The only possibility is that this man--
Who is this person? When he said his name just now, she thought she had knocked on the wrong door and was still thinking about which number her daughter lived in, so she didn't pay attention to his name!
And why does this person feel so familiar?
Mother Wei felt that it was impossible for her to have any affection for a man who appeared at her daughter's house out of nowhere and dressed like this.
After carefully looking at him, although she felt a suspicious sense of familiarity in her heart, she still felt that it was not polite to look at others so unscrupulously. When she looked back, she walked over and directly reached out and touched the other person's forehead with the back of her hand.
.
Si Lan didn't expect that the other person came closer without saying anything. He sensitively wanted to turn away, but the other person seemed to be prepared, and the angle of his hand just touched his forehead when he turned his face.
"You have a fever!" With so many years of experience, Wei's mother could feel the person's abnormal body temperature just by touching her hand.
"The longest incubation period for chickenpox may be several days. You should have never had chickenpox, but you chose to stay and take care of my daughter and grandson. I'm very grateful, but I think it's more appropriate for me as a nurse to take care of them."
Some!"
Mother Wei's words were a euphemistic eviction order. How could she let him stay here to take care of her daughter before the specific identity of this man was confirmed.
Si Lan faced Mother Wei, who had an amiable face but a slightly alienated and defensive look in her eyes. Her eyes moved slightly and glanced at little Chengjia, who was also standing in the living room. Little Chengjia turned away and went directly to her mother.
bedroom, making the most direct statement on Si Lan’s stay or stay.
The moment the door to the living room was closed, Mother Wei looked at the closed door and remembered the look in the man's eyes when he looked at Chengjia just now. She called out to little Chengjia who was standing in the corner of the bedroom door with a hesitant look on his face.
Then I asked directly.
"Chengjia, this is your biological father, right?"
－－－－－－－－This is the first update, oh, I was delayed by something in the morning, the second update will probably be in the evening, everyone can come back at 9 o'clock in the evening, okay?——
