"Dad"

Li Nian sorted out his mood, walked to Li Qingcang's side, and squeezed out a bright smile again, just like just now, raised his hand to hold Li Qingcang's arm, and looked in the same direction as him, looking at the town that had fallen into darkness under the mountain.

Li Qingcang looked at Shang Yang, who had not left in the distance, and then looked at his daughter.

In fact, he still felt a little guilty in his heart, when he was young, he worked hard and unrestrained, he didn't think too much, when work became a habit, he gradually ignored the fact that he had children, worked every day, went on business trips, went out early and returned late, and found that the child was so old in a blink of an eye.

On the night of Li Nian's marriage, he thought about it all night, and thought about two questions: What did he lose in his life?

It seems that he has wronged his daughter's growth, which is irreversible, and he is very remorseful, so in order to compensate him, he would rather be a wicked person and ask another man to compensate for himself, without two hearts.

"Say"

Li Qingcang had a stiff face and spoke succinctly.

At this moment, you can't give her a smile.

Li Nian was a little cold by the night wind, her hair fluttered, her eyes moved away from the town under the mountain to look into the distance, there was a vast expanse in the distance, she thought for a while and said: " Dad, for so many years, our father and daughter get together less and leave more, in junior high school under one roof, but there is not much time to see each day, sometimes I think, if our family has no money, how good it would be, you are an office worker from 9 to 5 in the morning, after dinner, our family of three huddled together to watch TV, can you take me shopping on weekends, occasionally talk about your heart, how happy will this day be?"

Li Qingcang's heart was sour, indeed, his identity and status did not allow for extra private space.

"But it doesn't matter" Li Nian spoke in time: "Although you rarely accompany me, I know that there is no second man in this world who loves me and can compare with you, not even Shang Yang, less than one of you!"

"Whew..."

Li Qingcang let out a long breath, he had never talked to Li Nian, let alone had much communication, at first he was just busy with work, and there was a sense of strangeness in the middle, and he didn't know when the strangeness became a gap, and he regarded not communicating as a habit, but he still longed to have a long talk with his daughter.

Suddenly, hearing her expression, my eyes almost couldn't help but turn red.

His face suddenly became less serious than just now, and he couldn't continue to be serious: "What are you talking about, just say what you have to do, your father is old, and he can't stand your sensationalism"

"It's not sensationalism, it's all the truth!"

Li Nian raised his head, looked up at the man, and then took out a photo from his pocket, in the photo, Li Qingcang was still in high spirits, wearing a vest, Li Nian's mother was wearing very simple clothes, Li Nian was only four or five years old, standing between the two in a skirt, with short hair, looking like a tomboy.

She smiled: "This is a photo taken on my fourth birthday, one of the few photos of our family of three, in fact, I was thinking, our family, every year in this place to take a photo, how good it should be, not to witness my growth, but to see how the years make you old step by step, Dad, you were so handsome when you were young, I want to marry you..."

"What do you say, huh?"

Li Qingcang finally smiled, looked down at the photo, as if recalling the scene of the photo taken that day, it was also on the mountain, it was rare to have time, he raised his hand to take the photo, and said slowly: "How old were you at that time, you became a big girl in the blink of an eye, I remember when I was born, I was not big, and I was afraid of being crushed in my arms, but now, I can't hold it if I want to..."

"I'll hold you!"

Li Nian responded instantly: "Your daughter is in her twenties this year, she is not a bodybuilder, and she still has some strength, I will hold you, come..."

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around Li Qingcang's waist, looking like she really wanted to pick him up.

"Don't make a fuss!"

Li Qingcang said sternly, but the smile on his face couldn't hide it no matter what, he was the president of the group and the big man in the provincial capital, whether he was feared by everyone or admired by everyone, but he had only one identity in front of Li Nian, that is, his father.

Li Nian didn't respond, held his breath, and his hands suddenly forced.

With a body of less than 100 catties, the thin arms are distressing, but they really hugged Li Qingcang with his feet off the ground.

At this moment, Li Qingcang felt that his whole world had become bizarre, and his mind seemed to have been holding dozens of hours in a row, and he was dizzy, but after all the feelings, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but be red, the baby who was once swaddling was now not only slim, but even able to pick himself up.

The two senses collided violently, as if in the snap of a finger.

"I can't hold it, you have to lose weight!"

Li Nian put him down and said with a smile.

Li Qingcang took a deep breath, calming down his tumbling emotions, his feet were already on the ground, and there was an unreal feeling, and responded: "Okay, lose weight..."

"Daddy"

Li Nian suddenly threw himself into his arms and said weakly: "Is it that if I don't grow up, you won't get old?"

Li Qingcang's whole body suddenly stiffened, with mixed tastes, he didn't know what he should say at all, he raised his hand and patted Li Nian's back, and he also became a little sad: "People are always the law of nature, and no one can change it, but your father and I am not old, right? Compared with many peers, you still look very young, your Uncle Zhao, one year younger than me, looks like my uncle."

"It's different, but in my heart you're old"

Li Nian's voice suddenly became choked, and there was a layer of mist in his eyes: "It would be great if we could turn back time, let's go back to twenty years ago, when we waited for you to go home every day and let you hold me, and I didn't know anything, I didn't understand, I laughed when I saw you, I cried when I couldn't see you, and the days were simple and beautiful."

Li Qingcang's eyes became redder and redder, looking into the distance, his eyes widened, trying to let the oncoming night wind dry some bad things in his eyes, he was also nostalgic, how good it would be if time could go back, there were many things that could be overturned and started over.

doting said: "Silly girl, how can there be time to turn back, people will grow up, and they will grow old, if time does not develop, how can human beings progress? Don't be sad, Dad is still there, if you have time in the future, you will accompany me more..."

Li Nian hugged him tighter, and tears suddenly flowed out, followed by a small sob.

Li Qingcang patted her on the back, her heart like a knife.

Under the corridor connecting the gazebo, the two figures hugged each other tightly.

There was silence for a full minute.

Li Nian choked up and said: "For so many years, my daughter has been feeling your love, but I have never said to you that I love you, Dad, do you know that the night before I got married, I was no longer thinking about Shang Yang, but about you, I was thinking about a very real question, after getting married, who became the most important man in my life?"

Li Qingcang's body trembled.

Who is the most important man?

He wanted to say that it was himself, but he knew that it should be his husband, after all, that person was the one she wanted to support each other and help each other until she grew old, even if there were thousands of reluctances, she had to let go.

At this moment, it seemed that she was back on the eve of her wedding, and she felt that she no longer belonged to herself.

Li Qingcang's tears slid down his face, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "Silly girl, of course your husband is important, you have to live together, you will also have your own children, my role is only to raise you as an adult, as for the word happiness, it has nothing to do with me after marriage."

This is very painful to say, and I have to say it.

"But there is no man in the world who can love me more than you" Li Nian cried louder and louder, reaching an uncontrollable point, slowly lowered his head, put his forehead on Li Qingcang's chest, and cried: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, you gave me the best love in the world, and my love is destined to be shared with others, if time can come back, I will choose to be at home, never go out, just look at you alone..."

Li Qingcang had never heard these words.

No one has ever touched the softness in his heart.

But now that Li Nian said it, tears couldn't stop falling down.

He has forgotten the last time he cried, decades ago?

He didn't want to cry, but he couldn't help it.

Gritted his teeth and said: "Don't cry, crying too much is not good for your eyes!"

"Dad!"

Li Nian's voice was a few degrees louder, and she trembled in the mountains and forests, she slowly slipped down in front of Li Qingcang, knelt on the ground, and cried: "My daughter is not filial, she is really unfilial, I thought that this life is very short before I came, I want to repay you and compensate you, but I really can't do it, my daughter is older, she has a man she likes, and I always can't help thinking about him, I want to be with him, I want to form a family with him..."

"What are you doing here, get up!"

Li Qingcang bent down and wanted to raise his hand to help Li Nian, but he also became a little flustered, and for the first time in his life, he had no ism.

Li Nian struggled and didn't get up, tears flowed down his face, and he shook his head and said: "I heard your conversation in the study that day, and I also know that you let him choose, for the past month, I have been worried, for fear that the final result will be that I will be eliminated, insomnia, dreamy, and upset..."

"Even though Shang Yang has a thousand bad things, ten thousand bad things, he is the man I identify, since I was in high school, I have to think that it is him in this life, my daughter is unproductive, and I have failed your love, but without him, I really can't live..."

Li Qingcang's tears fell drop by drop, and he almost cried, and he carried Li Nian with both hands, trying to lift her up.

"Dad, do you know, my daughter is a person who has died once, let me marry Shang Tian, without any complaints, because I know that there will be a few times in this life when people can't help themselves, I accept my fate, and I bow to life, and I only wish that the years will be quiet and smooth in the future!"

"But he came, full of embarrassment, wearing stars and moons, with injuries on his face, injuries on his body, and broken shoes, but it can't be denied that he broke into the wedding scene alone for your daughter, without worrying about danger and not caring about other people's eyes, Shang Yang, this bastard, really doesn't want much, he just wants me"

"Dad, do you know, he traveled ninety-eight kilometers for me in one night, turning me from someone else's bride into his lover, my daughter is not promising, and I can't pretend to be someone else anymore if I put it in my heart, when I saw his appearance, when he held my hand in front of everyone, I swore an oath"

"I, Li Nian, don't live anything else in this life, and only live two words for the rest of my life: Shang Yang!"
