On the same rainy day, children without umbrellas can only run desperately.

And Ning Xi is the child who doesn't have an umbrella.

How desperate did Ning Xi have to be to grow up silently without crying or making trouble after accepting the news of her mother's death?

Chen Yuan felt that he might never be able to experience Ning Xi's inner activities.

Where in the world is there any empathy......

Chen Yuan remembered that he was lost in the days when Liu Xu's death was concerned, and all kinds of negative emotions were like an invisible black veil, enveloping him so much that he couldn't breathe.

Chen Yuan really couldn't think of what kind of strong heart he needed to form Ning Xi's resolute and warm character in such an environment, which was really emotional.

And deep in Ning Xi's heart, she must be extremely eager to have a mother.

After all, single-parent families lack the care and love of most of the ordinary people in their lives.

Who doesn't want a mother who cares about her daily life and meals, shushes herself, reminds herself to avoid making mistakes in all kinds of matters in life, and can go to her to vent her emotions unscrupulously when she fails......

"Dad. Chen Yuan looked at Ning Chao deeply: "For so many years, you have worked hard. ”

Although Ning Chao didn't say how he worked hard to raise Ning Xi, who was still a baby, into a slim big girl, Chen Yuan knew that the bitterness in this must be indispensable.

"It is precisely because I have had this special experience that I keep interfering in the relationship between you and Xi'er, and the strict requirements are even a little harsh, but I really hope that Xi'er will have a good life. ”

As he spoke, Ning Chao reached out without a trace and wiped a handful of old tears.

"I vaguely remember that Xi'er's mother's favorite thing back then was to lie on the table when I was not too busy, watching me read to her with glasses, and she said that I would only wear glasses when I was not busy, and I would really belong to her at that time......"

As he spoke, Ning Chao touched the bridge of his tall nose in frustration: "I haven't worn glasses for more than twenty years since Meng'er left, but I don't know why, I still often feel eye pain......

"Fortunately, now that Ning Xi has grown up, it's our turn to be filial to your father. Chen Yuan said with a look on his face.

A trace of panic flashed in Ning Chao's eyes: "But...... I...... I don't really want to go to Mudu Town......"

"Oh, it's okay Dad, no matter what happens, I'll solve it, you, just live this year in peace!" Chen Yuan persuaded on the side.

Ning Chao let go of a trace of resistance at this time.

Perhaps, after all these years, things are not so bad anymore.

Moreover, in Ning Chao's heart, he has always been obsessed with Ling Meng, so he has both resistance and expectation for Mudu Town in his heart.

Chen Yuan saw that Ning Chao's guard in his heart had been lowered a lot, so he turned his psionic mobile phone back on, and gave Ning Xi a call back with an uneasy mood.

Chen Yuan didn't forget that when Ning Chao talked about those past events just now, he refused to answer a call from Ning Xi, and then turned off his phone.

Call Ning Xi now, and you may have to face all kinds of questions and anger from her.

"All the way to say goodbye all the way to sadness and hope, all the way to repeat the fresh sentimental ......"

Chen Yuan was slightly stunned, because he heard the ringtone of Ning Xi's mobile phone that he was familiar with, ringing not far away.

As soon as Chen Yuan and Ning Chao got out of the car when they heard the sound, Ning Xi had already arrived in front of the two.

"Why are you here?" Ning Chao looked at Ning Xi solemnly, his tired demeanor just now was swept away, and a pair of eyes stared at Ning Xi deadly, as if he wanted to see something abnormal.

Ning Xi naturally stepped forward, looked at Ning Chao's straight gaze as if he hadn't heard it, and hugged Ning Chao's arm and said coquettishly:

"Oh~ Dad! You crossed more than 2,000 kilometers from Linjiang to accompany me for the New Year, so I can't pick you up? I just saw you and was rushing over, and the call came!"

Ning Chao was stunned and didn't notice anything abnormal, his face gradually softened, and he reached out and gently patted Ning Xi's back and said:

"We'll be in Mudu Town in a while, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ning Xi pouted: "I'm not without you for half a year, I miss you~"

Ning Chao laughed, opened the front door of the car next to him, and the two of them sat in at the same time, Chen Yuan sat in the back seat and restarted the psionic taxi, and drove towards the ancient house in Mudu Town again.

Along the way, Ning Chao and Ning Xi's father and daughter talked and laughed, Chen Yuan made an excuse and said that he didn't have a good rest last night, so he lay on the back seat of the psionic car and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

But in fact, how could Chen Yuan sleep.

Chen Yuan obviously felt that when he dialed Ning Xi's phone, Ning Xi's breath also appeared in a brief panic, and the ringtone of her mobile phone rang for about three or four seconds not far from Chen Yuan, and the obvious ringtone moved towards Chen Yuan.

And Ning Xi said that as soon as she saw Chen Yuan and Ning Chao, she rushed towards the two.

There was obviously something wrong with this, and Ning Xi definitely didn't tell the truth.

Even Chen Yuan could basically determine that Ning Xi had heard a lot of conversations between Chen Yuan and Ning Chao not far away.

Ning Xi's current actions are obviously trying to cover up and extinguish the fire

The reason why Chen Yuan dared to secretly affirm it was because Ning Xi's reaction and speech and demeanor were too abnormal, she didn't ask Chen Yuan and Ning Chao why they refused to answer her phone, nor did she ask why they turned off their phones, and even didn't say anything about Chen Yuan and Ning Chao parking their cars on the side of the road......

"Ning Xi must have heard our conversation, but did she hear any key information?" Chen Yuan was in a dilemma.

On the one hand, he didn't want to tear apart the most painful scars in Ning Xi's heart, all the things related to Ning Xi's mother.

On the other hand, she was worried that Ning Xi already knew about those things twenty-three years ago, and her concealment from her in front of Ning Xi might lead to a crack in the trust between the two of them.

In fact, Chen Yuan could use his spiritual power to probe into Ning Xi's spiritual world, so that he could know the truth of the matter simply and efficiently, but Chen Yuan obviously didn't want to treat Ning Xi with this method.

Chen Yuan felt that the temptation of spiritual power was for enemies and opponents, and it was obviously inappropriate to use it to treat Ning Xi.

And if through this method, although Ning Xi's inner thoughts are known, once Ning Xi knows, the estrangement between the two will definitely be more serious.

Chen Yuan has always hoped that the relationship between him and Ning Xi is pure, a collision between two hearts, rather than a game with only wins and losses completed through data and concepts......

Chen Yuan thought about it, and actually fell asleep in the back seat of the psionic taxi.

"Chen Yuan, don't come near me!"

"Come, kill me! Aren't you arrogant?"

"Chen Yuan, I beg you, kill me quickly!"

"I don't want to be like this, I don't want to ......"

"Chen Yuan, do it quickly!"

"Chen Yuan......"

"Chen Yuan?" Ning Chao shook Chen Yuan's body.

"Whew!" Chen Yuan sat up suddenly, breathing in the air, this was the strange sound he had dreamed of again.

Obviously it was the same voice, but sometimes crazy, sometimes desolate, Chen Yuan felt that this voice was a little familiar, and it seemed to be more unfamiliar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard this voice for a long time.

It seems to be an inscription that goes deep into the soul, and it is as if it is the first time I have heard it......

"Chen Yuan?" Ning Xi opened the car door, gently wiped the huge beads of sweat on Chen Yuan's forehead with a tissue, and said softly, "Have a nightmare?"

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, "Ah, no! I just slept comfortably in the car, was called groggily, and woke up a little too suddenly." ”

Ning Xi looked at Chen Yuan's eyes for a long time, and the cherry lips that wanted to speak again tried to speak several times, but finally chose to be silent.

"Boy, let's get to Mudu Town!" Ning Chao said in a relaxed tone.

But Chen Yuanneng can clearly see the nostalgia and vicissitudes that Ning Chao's eyes can't hide, after all, this is Ning Chao's real hometown, there is also his former home, and there is also his beloved wife who has always beloved him.

Now that Ning Chao is revisiting his hometown, how can his heart be calm.

Chen Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Haha, Dad, I'm shocked, such a broken wooden door can still be used until now, and it's still strong!"

Ning Chao was obviously absent-minded, but he also understood what Chen Yuan meant, nodded and followed Chen Yuan's words and said:

"Indeed, everything here gives people a sense of traveling through time, and through the vicissitudes of life transmitted by this brick by brick, I seem to be able to imagine what they looked like more than 20 years ago, when it was ......"

"Dad, my parents have been waiting for you in the house for a long time, let's go inside. Chen Yuan hurriedly interrupted.

Ning Xi did not follow behind Chen Yuan and Ning Chao as usual, but walked to the front unusually, and at this time he had already opened a lot of distance from Chen Yuan and Ning Chao.

Ning Chao leaned into Chen Yuan's ear and whispered, "More than twenty years ago, I repaired the house for the master of this family. ”

After speaking, Ning Chao stepped into the ancient house, leaving Chen Yuan alone in place, and secretly sighed in his heart:

Could it be that when we got engaged last time, Brother Lu Yi said that my father-in-law was a little familiar, just because they had seen it more than 20 years ago?

Seeing that Ning Chao was about to arrive in the living room, Chen Yuan hurriedly greeted him and helped Ning Chao into the house.

After all, no matter what you say, Ning Chao is also Chen Yuan's father-in-law, if Chen Yuan doesn't take the opportunity to perform well, he will inevitably be scolded by Chen Kexiong and Guo Weilan.

"Hey, in front of them, I will always only be criticized!" Chen Yuan complained quietly.

"Oops, my in-laws are here!"

Guo Weilan greeted warmly, hurriedly nuns, and motioned for Chen Yuan to pull up a stool for Ning Chao.

The joyful Guo Weilan and Chen Kexiong couple, after pulling the absent-minded Ning Chao for a while, Chen Yuan and Ning Xi also took out the gifts they had prepared for the second elder in advance.

"Dad, your wrist doesn't hurt all the time, this is the fire heart jade I specially collected for you, I invited the best carving master in Shangjing to carve two gourds for you, Dad, you can play with it if you have nothing to do, it is very good for the joints." ”

Ning Xi took out two ruddy gourds from the black armband, which made Chen Kexiong unhappy.

Chen Yuan also immediately took out a crystal item from his storage armband, and quickly hid the item behind him, not letting Ning Chao see it.
