Zhan Xueting was about to turn around and leave, but when she heard her father's cry, she subconsciously stopped.
This time Zhan Chen saw her figure more clearly and said happily: "Xue Ting, it's really you!" As he said this, he stepped forward to greet her, subconsciously wanting to hold her hand.
However, Zhan Xueting resisted and shouted: "Don't touch me!" This made Zhan Chen retract his hand in despair.
The two of them stood in silence for a moment. Zhan Chen calmed down and said to Zhan Xueting, "Ting'er, we two need to talk."
"What's there to talk about?"
"I know that the misunderstanding and estrangement between you and me cannot be solved in a few moments, but Ting'er, you have to understand how much I, as a father, want to make up for my lack of love for you, how much I want to stay with you and
Beside your mother!"
Zhan Chen spoke so sincerely that Zhan Xueting was moved. I'm afraid even she herself didn't know how much she longed for her parents' love deep in her heart.
At this time, she suddenly recalled that when she was a child, she had always been lonely. She could not see her mother once a month, and she had to be ridiculed and bullied by the sisters in the sect and even some male disciples. Although everyone was hindered by her
Due to her status, she didn't dare to face her face to face, but they criticized her behind her back, calling her a fatherless and motherless person, calling her a cold-blooded animal, and calling her mother a traitor to the clan.
On the other hand, her grandmother only had strict training requirements for her, without the slightest warmth or care. Instead, she told her to cut off the ties of love, learn to be cold-blooded and ruthless, and forget all love. The only thing that allowed her to feel a trace of warmth was
It was those precious few days of meeting my mother.
Her mother would always hug her tenderly, sometimes joke and play games with her, and cook delicious food for her. In short, all the warm memories of her childhood came from her mother. Of course, what her mother loved to talk about most was
My father was different from the heinous person described by my grandmother. My mother described my father as a person who valued love and justice, an omnipotent person, and his only spiritual support.
This made Zhan Xueting long for her father countless times, often imagining his tallness, majesty, strength, and the warmth of his arms. Even when she encountered difficulties, her unknown father once became her spiritual support.
.
It's just that her father never showed up, and this blind worship and desire began to fade away as she grew older. However, it did not disappear, but turned into a seed, buried deeply in the battlefield.
In Ting's heart, as she met her father, this plant finally began to take root and sprout, breaking out of the ground.
However, the spring breeze could not understand the cold of three winters. Although Zhan Xueting loved her father deeply in her heart, she still could not fully accept Zhan Chen who suddenly appeared in front of her, not to mention that Zhan Chen had done some things.
I'm sorry about my mother's feelings.
So she said: "Zhan Chen, don't think that just a few words of apology can make my mother and I forgive you!"
"I don't expect that a few words of apology can restore the relationship between our father and daughter, but you and I do need to communicate. After all, the relationship between you and me is blood-soluble, and no one can change this." Zhan.
Chen said firmly.
Zhan Xueting glanced at him and asked, "Then what do you want to say to me?"
Zhan Chen was stunned. He had thousands of words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. Finally he had to say: "Ting'er, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet restaurant and have a table with food and drinks.
Let’s talk while eating.”
Zhan Xueting nodded and finally agreed: "Okay then!"
Zhan Chen was overjoyed and said, "Then let's leave right away!"
So the father and daughter left the Linghe Sect and came to Linshan City not far away. They chose a good restaurant - Fang Cui Lou. This hotel has its own characteristics. It is far away from the busy city and covers a large area. All private rooms are
They are all arranged in the garden, where the flowers are blooming and fragrant; the small bridges and flowing water are like music; the orioles are singing and the butterflies are dancing; it has a unique atmosphere and is a good place for chatting.
Zhan Xueting looked around after entering the restaurant. There seemed to be a little smile on her stiff expression, and she seemed to like the environment here very much.
All this was seen by Zhan Chen. He felt curious and asked: "Xue Ting, haven't you seen beautiful flowers before?"
Zhan Xueting shook her head and said, "No, I have stayed in Jiujue Palace since I was a child and have never left. This is my first time going out."
Hearing what she said, Zhan Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had never taken his daughter out to play even once when she was so old.
He booked a private room, ordered a table full of sumptuous wine and food, invited Zhan Xueting to sit down, and said with a smile: "Daughter, I don't know what kind of food you like. You can try all these things. If you don't like it,
I can call again."
Zhan Xueting's eyes were a little moist when she looked at the table full of dishes. It's funny, she has never eaten such a sumptuous meal in her whole life, so she took a few bites of each dish and tasted it.
Said: "Just so-so!"
Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "As long as it suits your appetite, come on, let's talk while we eat!" He stood up and poured a glass of wine for his daughter.
After he sat down, Zhan Chen watched her pick up the wine glass and take a sip, then sighed: "Ting'er, I don't know how you got here all these years. Can you tell me about it?"
Zhan Xueting's eyes rolled, and she replied: "Okay." Then she recounted her experiences from childhood to adulthood.
Zhan Chen sighed after hearing this. He didn't expect his daughter to be so lonely and suffer a lot in Jiujue Palace. He suddenly became excited: "Daughter, it's all the father's fault. If I had known earlier——"
"What would you have done if you had known earlier?" Zhan Xueting asked him with a venomous mouth.
Zhan Chen was stunned and immediately became speechless. He lowered his head and clenched his fists. Yes, he lacked the most important thing, which was strength. Without strength, he could not give anyone any promise or help.
Seeing her father's unwillingness, Zhan Xueting felt a little bit unbearable and asked, "Okay, isn't this all over? Don't worry too much. I've told you my own experience, it's your turn.
"
"Do you want to hear it?" Zhan Chen suddenly raised his head.
"Say it!" Zhan Xueting moved her gaze out the window.
Zhan Chen also told her about his own experience. At first, Zhan Xueting pretended to be absent-minded, but as time went on, she became more attracted to her father's stories. Whenever she heard that her father was in danger,
Her heart would always be gripped, and when she heard about her father's adventures, she would unconsciously smile with joy, just like a child.
Zhan Chen talked a lot, including not only his own adventures and growth experiences, but also the joys and sorrows between him and Ling Aoxue, Su Yun, Yin Meiru and Zhuang Xiaodie. Each part was unforgettable.
In comparison, Zhan Xueting found that the interaction between Zhan Chen and her mother was the least, and she gradually understood her father's hardship, pain, and hesitation about her feelings.
Yes, my father may not be a perfect person, but he is a real person of flesh and blood. He has shortcomings of one kind or another, but he has more advantages. He is right in front of you, not up there.
In the sky, the unreachable saint.
Through talking and listening to each other, the two hearts of father and daughter are getting closer to each other. Unknowingly, it is the time when the sun is setting. Zhan Xueting stared at Zhan Chen in ecstasy. The setting sun seemed to cover him with gold.
The cassock suddenly made Zhan Chen's image taller.
Zhan Chen noticed the dreamy look his daughter was looking at him, so he couldn't help but stand up, came to her side, held her jade palm, and asked with concern: "Ting'er, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Zhan Xueting felt an irresistible warmth welling up in her heart. She couldn't help but stand up, threw herself into Zhan Chen's arms, and shouted, "Dad!"
Zhan Chen's heart trembled suddenly, and he hugged her subconsciously, shouting: "Daughter!" Infinite kindness surged from his chest.
Zhan Xueting rested her head in Zhan Chen's arms. Her father's arms were so warm, and her father's arms were so strong and powerful. Although she was only at the low level of Xianyuan, she was getting better and better.
Give her a sense of security.
At this moment, she felt that her broken heart had been filled, and it was like a wandering boat that had found a harbor. This warm feeling came from her blood, making her unable to resist. A stream of tears fell from her eyes.
I turned the corner and couldn't help myself!
The father and daughter hugged each other for a long time, and then Zhan Chen gently stroked Zhan Xueting's back with his big hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, stop crying. Look, my clothes are all wet."
Only then did Zhan Xueting wake up to the point where she lost her composure. She pushed Zhan Chen away in a panic, sat down, and turned her head away from the window, as if she didn't want him to see her red and swollen eyes.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't expose his daughter's tricks. Instead, he said: "Daughter, how about going out with dad for a walk? I will take you to a good place."
"Where?" Zhan Xueting turned her head and asked curiously.
"Right here in Linshan City!" Zhan Chen smiled mysteriously and deliberately showed off.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhan Xueting's eyes, but she still nodded.
"Let's go!" Zhan Chen grabbed her hand without hesitation. Zhan Xueting's hand only gave in after a symbolic struggle.
The father and daughter left the restaurant and came to Linshan City. Zhan Chen led her to a bustling street after twists and turns.
It was already dark at this time, the lights were on, and the colorful neon lights covered the entire street, like a gorgeous brocade. Against the backdrop of the night, it was more colorful than the rainbow during the day.
"It's so beautiful!" Zhan Xueting stared at the long night scene in amazement and exclaimed.
Zhan Chen looked at her, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew that his daughter had never been to a place like this. Today was a God-given opportunity for him, and he would seize every opportunity.
, to repair the relationship between father and daughter to its best.
