He Ran brought the freshly fried eggs to the table, and the bright yellow egg liquid was sprinkled with tender green green onions, exuding a tangy aroma. This is her favorite dish, and although it is just a simple egg, after her delicate grasp of the oil temperature and heat, it has become the most praised work by her husband and daughter.

"Nini, it's time to eat!" He Ran shouted. Today is Saturday, and she and her husband agreed to take their daughter to the park for a picnic, but she hasn't told Nini yet, she wants to surprise her.

A pair of hands hugged her from behind, and the hot breath from the man's mouth sprayed on her neck: "Wife, I love you." ”

"Got it, got it, go brush your teeth, it stinks. He Ran said.

"But I've already brushed it," the man's voice sounded a little aggrieved, "My mouth is like stinky tofu, it smells stinky and tastes good, wife, do you want to taste it?"

"Don't!" He Ran said angrily, "Nini is coming soon, you take your hands away." ”

Hearing his daughter's footsteps, the man let go of his hand with a smile and walked towards his daughter. He Ran knew that he was going to do something again.

"Nini, I love you!" the man picked up the girl and gently tapped the girl's nose with his hand, "How did Nini sleep last night?"

The girl was wearing a plain yellow nightdress, her long hair was a little messy, and she shouted with confused eyes: "Dad, let me down!"

The man laughed, put the girl down, and then crouched down in front of the girl's face and grimaced at her.

The girl still couldn't hold back her laughter, and He Ran smiled on the side and said, "Go wash up and have breakfast." ”

The man watched the girl go to wash, then turned to his wife and whispered, "Wife, I may need to go on a business trip." ”

"On a business trip?" He Ran knew what the word meant, "Haven't you been staying in Beijing?"

"Things have changed," the man said, "and I feel like I might need to take a trip." ”

"Did you ask for it on your own initiative?" He Ran sighed, "You were like this when you were in the Ministry of Security, you always ......" She didn't finish speaking, and the girl had already walked out of the bathroom. They only talked a few words, so the girl must not have brushed her teeth and washed her face properly.

The man patted the girl's head, "Nini doesn't brush her teeth well, and her teeth will fall out one by one in the future." ”

The girl raised her head and said, "I'm not afraid, I have my dad here, and my dad will figure it out for me." ”

The girl looked at her father with a smug look in her eyes. Looking at the quirky girl, the man had no choice but to sit aside and pick up the chopsticks, "If Nini's teeth fall out before Dad, Dad will give Nini his own teeth." ”

"I don't believe it," the girl took a bite of the omelette, "if I lose my teeth, how can I eat the omelette made by my mother?"

He Ran couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her mouth, Nini was really smart and naughty, and she had always been her pistachio.

"Mommy's omelette is obviously for Daddy," said the man, "but there will be a little left over every time, so you have to eat it at all." ”

"That's what Mommy left on purpose," the girl feigned an aggrieved tone, then looked at the man slyly, "The rest is for Daddy, otherwise Daddy will snatch Nini's." ”

"Daddy is a big badass. ”

When Nini said this, the man knew that the war was over, and that he had once again suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of his own daughter. Every time I want to tease Nini, I will be "teased" by Nini in the end. But every time he hears his daughter's slightly coquettish sentence "Dad is a big villain", he feels that he is the happiest man in the world.

The girl took the clean bowl to the kitchen, and then ran out of it: "Dad, are you going to take me out to play today?"

The man was a little surprised, he did say that he would take his daughter to the park to play today, but the sudden incident before was more urgent, so he had to tell his wife just now that he was going on a business trip. However, he couldn't bear to refuse the expectant eyes of Shang Nini, so he could only look at He Ran at a loss. He Ran understood what he meant, squatted down and said to his daughter, "Dad is going to work far away today, wait until Dad comes home to bring a gift to Nini, okay?"

"Okay!" Nini agreed, as it often happens, and she is sensible, "Where is the far away?"

He Ran motioned to the man with his eyes, and the man hurriedly replied, "Dad is going all the way south to Guangdong Province." ”

"Guangdong Province!" Nini clapped her hands, "The teacher asked us to sing the song "Falling Rain". ”

As she spoke, she clapped her hands and sang in Cantonese, which she was not proficient in, "The rain is heavy, and the flooded streets are ......."

The man waited quietly for the girl to finish singing, and kissed the girl on the forehead, "Nini should be good, Daddy will be back soon." He stood up and hugged He Ran, "Wife, I'm leaving, it looks like I'll have to call tomorrow to say good morning." ”

He Ran closed her eyes, and for some reason her heart was beating fast, "Stay safe." ”

The man nodded and waved at the girl, who also waved and said, "Daddy, come back early!"

He Ran watched the man close the door, and suddenly his heart was empty. Nini jumped up and down and sang, her childish voice as if it were coming from far away.

Xing Tian beckoned to stop the taxi, "Go to the airport." ”

The driver's accent was an authentic old man from Beijing, "You don't bring luggage to the airport here?"

Xing Tian wanted to prevaricate casually, but he suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest, so he waved his hand at the driver. The driver saw his face through the rearview mirror, and naturally he was also interested, and did not say anything more. The sky outside the car window slowly darkened, and Xing Tian's mind came up with the stack of information that Houtu had thrown to him. To be honest, he hated and even feared black and white photos, and he felt very uncomfortable with the way he explicitly told the person looking at the photo that "the person in the photo is dead". The last face of his predecessor was also sent to him with a black and white photo. Black and white, there is always a feeling of being deprived of life.

The car had already pulled onto the airport highway, and the rain was starting to tick outside the window. It was a torrential rain, and in a moment the windows of the car were blurred by the flowing rain, and the whole world was darkened as if it had been washed by the rain.

Xing Tian listened to the sound of rain outside the car. The raindrops rattled on the car, but they were isolated from the car like the sound of the rain, as if they were coming from another far away. Not long ago, Nini's singing face clearly appeared again, "The rain is heavy, and the street is flooded......"

Xing Tian remembered that before and after he went out, he said that someone had gone to the bar opened by the organization and wanted to find a girl. According to Houtu's words, it was a strange and alarming person. Xingtian had no doubt that the person had come to Hua Wenhui for revenge. There are too many enemies in the Chinese Society.

But why did he resolutely leave the Ministry of Security and join the Chinese Society? At that time, his daughter had just been born, and even if he didn't want to work in the Ministry of Security, he shouldn't have come to a place like the Chinese Society, which was obviously more dangerous? And why did something like the inheritance of the power of the ancient gods, which ordinary people never thought of, fall on his head? During the years when the Ministry of Security was on duty, he knew very well that mastering power was sometimes not a thing to be thankful about. And the so-called "power" he has in the final analysis is just to expand his divine sense, after joining the Chinese Society, almost all of the xenos he saw in the archives who were listed as targets had extraordinary abilities far beyond him, and he became one of the law enforcers of the xenomorph society. Even though he was accustomed to seeing the people of the world, he still found it ridiculous and funny.

Xingtian tried to spread his consciousness in the high-speed car, and in an instant he felt countless raindrops hit his body hard, and the cool air that overflowed from the rain began to condense in the air as if it had a form, and the echo of the whole world was in his ears.

"It's a rare rain. The old man driving sighed in the front seat.
