Chapter 518: Father and Daughter

What about the tide?

Where did the tide go?

While sympathizing with Okazaki's plight, the audience is engrossed in staring at each frame, looking for something in their eyes lest they blink and miss something important.

Nagisa left, but their child was born healthy.

Why is Okazaki alone now, and where did he go with Nagisa's child Xiaoxi?

At Sanae's warm invitation, Okazaki agreed to Sanae's invitation to "hang out as a family". When he asked for leave from the company and got a day off, and when he came to Nagisa's former home, Furukawa Bakery, he only saw the note and ticket left by Sanae.

Although the town is constantly changing, it is still as familiar as it remembers it. Nagisa's laughter at home was like the sound of yesterday, but now it is a matter of people, which only adds to the sadness.

Suddenly, a small shadow ran behind Okazaki, and Okazaki followed the sound to find it, and every part of the room contained memories of him and Nagisa.

Finally, Okazaki saw the figure suddenly hide behind a nearby wall.

Okazaki didn't walk over, his expression didn't show any experience, and he faintly called out a name.

"Xiaoshio!"

It is a name that has touched the hearts of countless fans.

I saw that the small figure secretly revealed half of his figure, like a frightened kitten, with a curious gaze, secretly looking at Okazaki.

After a moment's careful consideration, the whole thing came out from behind the wall.

She wears a plain blue dress with blue and white stripes on the collar and short-sleeved cuffs, and carries a small pink bag. He wears a soft hat with blue and white stripes on his head. The round flesh whirls on the little face. Staring at Okazaki with widely shining eyes.

Even if Okazaki doesn't scream, the audience can recognize that this child is his daughter with Nagisa, Xiaoshio.

She has a pair of eyes that exude warmth and healing exactly like Nagisa!

Nagisa's figure gradually overlapped with Xiaoxi, and the hearts of fans suddenly became sour, obviously nothing had happened, but seeing this scene. My eyes were involuntarily moist.

Okazaki and Shio looked at each other, and after a moment, Shio shrank back behind the wall.

Facing his biological father, Xiaoxi was as nervous as if he was facing a stranger, but it seemed that because of his curiosity about his "father", he had been secretly looking at Okazaki on the side.

Five years have passed, and although Nagisa just passed away last week, for fans, the seven days are as long as five years.

During these five years, Okazaki did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Xiaoxi was completely raised by Sanae and Akisheng, whether it was kindergarten. Or are there various festivals, Okazaki has always put all his experience into his work and ignored Koshio.

Although Sanae would often bring Shio to him, Okazaki never looked at him squarely.

is obviously a biological father and daughter, but they are like strangers.

Xiaoxi not only lost her mother when she was born, but also failed to get her father's love. Seeing Xiaoxi's curiosity, eagerness but careful hiding half of his body and secretly looking at his biological father, it stung the hearts of the audience.

The pent-up anger in the hearts of fans seems to have found an outlet- Okazaki, but seeing Okazaki's current appearance, those anger suddenly extinguished, they seem to understand why Okazaki did this: Nagisa is a qiē of Okazaki, Nagisa's departure made Okazaki lose a qiē, Xiaoxi is so similar to Nagisa, as long as he sees Xiaoxi, Okazaki thinks of Nagisa, thinks of those happy memories and the sadness after losing a qiē now; ?

Xiaoxi is not only the crystallization of Okazaki and Nagisa's love and happiness, but also the person who took Okazaki's love and happiness away, it can be said that Xiaoxi is the source of Okazaki's pain at this moment, and he is just a poor person after all.

He has always stayed on the day of Nagisa's departure, if he can't get out of the "past", then he will live in pain and sorrow for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to give Xiaoxi a father's love for the rest of his life.

The audience finally understood why Sanae warmly invited Okazaki to go and have fun with her, but on the agreed day, she disappeared with Akiyu, leaving only Okazaki and Shio, and two tickets.

"Family" and "Two Tickets", Sanae's move is to let Okazaki out of the pain and let Xiaoxi get his father's love and work silently!

Her daughter died, and Okazaki also pushed Xiaoshio to them to raise, Sanae not only did not complain, did not have any thoughts of blaming Okazaki, but also always silently helped Okazaki, facing Okazaki with the gentle smile he did at the beginning.

This subtle touch, after truly understanding, can feel its breadth and heat.

Perhaps it is precisely because of such a mother that she can raise that daughter who is weak on the outside but extremely strong on the inside.

Looking at Okazaki, Cao Jun suddenly thought of his father, although he was about to graduate from elementary school when his mother left, but what kind of mood did his father feel when he faced his "ignorant" son?

"Dad, did you not want to see me like Okazaki?" While watching the animation, he saw that his father's cup was empty, and Cao Jun filled his father with tea.

"Your mother didn't die because of you......" The father picked up the teacup and blew lightly, taking a sip, letting the taste of the strong tea reverberate in his mouth, and finally flowed from his throat all the way to his stomach, moisturizing his lungs.

"However, at that time you also began to rebel, and I know that you are sad about your mother's death, and I am also sad, more sad than you. I did have the idea of not wanting to see you when I saw you at that time, and I remember that I hit you the hardest time - it hurt you, it hurt in my heart, and I even had a hundred thoughts. But I can't fall, I'm down, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see your mother when I get down. In order to have the face to meet your mother in the future, and to give your mother an explanation, I can't fall down......"

Father said slowly.

Cao Jun followed his father's words, as if he had returned to the days when his mother died.

He still remembered his father's complicated eyes, which he couldn't understand at the time.

As long as he doesn't sin, even if he messes around, his father will support him for the rest of his life.

At this moment, he could understand that his father could not turn back in the face of what he had faced, and he said the power and affection contained in these words in despair.

As a father, his responsibility to his son;

As a man, the responsibility of the family;

As a husband, he has a responsibility to his wife.

Every responsibility is like a mountain, carried by his father's strong shoulders, sheltering him under his shadow.

However, he was ignorant, but now he turned back and understood.

Cao Jun took a sip of the tea buffalo and let the tears flow into his stomach along with the tea.

There is a lot of tea leaves, and my father likes to drink strong tea with a lot of tea leaves.

It's bitter and astringent.

But if you savor it with your tongue, the aftertaste is endless, just like life.

When Okazaki left Shiki to play alone, Shiki fell heavily on the ground in front of a staircase - face down.

The audience not only felt pain for Xiaoxi, but after Okazaki helped Xiaoxi up, Xiaoxi seemed to cry in pain, but he endured it and never cried.

Okazaki's feelings for Xiaoxi are extremely complicated, and he doesn't want to go out on a trip with Xiaoxi alone, but after waiting for a day, Sanae and Akiyu, who disappeared, have not returned.

The two of them completely handed over this rare time to Okazaki and Xiaoshi.

Xiaoxi is not as clingy as other children, she doesn't talk much, giving people the feeling of being a boy, but in just a few scenes, Xiaoxi's sensible and strong appearance left a clear and deep impression on the audience, which made people fall in love with her.

Okazaki and Koshio sat in the shop, bored looking at the figures walking outside.

A father walks by with his child in tow, and the child laughs happily, coquettishly chatting with his father about happy topics.

But Okazaki and Xiaoxi are obviously biological father and daughter, but they are like strangers, and there is no topic.

Okazaki squinted at Xiaoxi, who looked brightly at the warm atmosphere of the father and child outside, and his eyes were full of envy and longing.

Even talking to his father with a smile, being coquettish, and chatting about happy topics is something to be envied for Xiaoxi.

"Do you want to go on a trip?"

Okazaki suddenly asked Xiaoshi.

"I want to go!" Xiao Xi said immediately with a yearning look on his face.

"Then let's go with the two of us. Okazaki said.

"Hmm. Xiaoxi nodded in agreement.

"Would you like to come with me......"

As a biological father, in the face of his daughter, Okazaki asked her if she would like to travel with him......

How heart-wrenching do the words "willing" sound?

With a happy smile, Xiaoxi embarked on a journey with his father, Okazaki.

This is the first time in the past five years since the birth of Xiaoshio that Okazaki and Xiaoxi have been alone like this. Every scene, every sentence, and every expression of Xiaoxi makes people's hearts sour and tremble.

Blue sky and white clouds, the sun is shining, Xiaoxi followed his father's figure, walked slowly, and slowly became a bouncing appearance, bringing warmth to the world.

Although Nagisa is gone, it is also gratifying to be able to see Xiaoxi's current appearance.

The cold, which had been frozen for a whole week, began to melt in the cheerful pace of the small tide.

The pain in people's hearts caused by Nagisa's death was finally relieved after seeing Xiaoxi's figure. (To be continued......)
