"Mom, how are you doing?" Miki asked cautiously.

"All good. The woman's voice sounded kind and gentle, just like the hysterical she had back then. "Xiaojun kept shouting that he missed you, if you came back, I would have time to come and sit. ”

Xiaojun is the child born to Li Suling and her current husband. A lively and active boy who likes to pester Miki and call her sister very much. The child has not been in good health since he entered elementary school, so Miki chats with her mother about Xiaojun for a while.

After finishing talking about Xiaojun, Mi Qi hesitated again and again, but still opened his mouth to mention the person.

"Mom, Daddy is back. She whispered. It was as if the voice was a little louder, and the person who had been lost would be scared away.

There was a long silence on the other end of the line. It was a long time before she heard her mother's slightly surprised voice.

"Really? He's really back?"

"Yes, he's really back. He lives in Huaguo Mountain now, and I want to meet him in the next few days. She asked, "What about you?"

This time her mother chuckled, with relief and open-mindedness in her laughter. Hearing this laughter, she knew that her mother had completely let go of the man who had made her miserable.

"What am I going to do? It's been more than ten years, and he's forgotten about me. The woman said nonchalantly, "You ought to see him, if nothing else, but for a wish." ”

Mom's attitude was very clear, Miki didn't say anything superfluous, and the topic about that person ended here.

After breakfast, Miki wants to go to the mall to see if she can buy her dad a suitable little gift.

"After all these years, it's hard for me to go to see him empty-handed. She said to Guho.

Gu Huo thought about his father's favorite tea, so he suggested that she could buy some tea. The tea in the mall was very expensive, and both of them were laymen who didn't know how to distinguish between good and bad quality, so they had to dispel this idea in the end.

There is a men's clothing store that is on sale, and Miki buys a set of thermal underwear that is 80% off.

"Just like the kids in the average family do, buy him a set of clothes on sale. Miki said a little self-deprecatingly.

"You are indeed not an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, you are my Wonder Woman." ”

Mi Qi smiled, "You have really become a love boy now, and you can say this kind of fleshy words." ”

"That's not to comfort you. ”

Miki lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she looked both well-behaved and docile. The warm orange light of the shop sprinkled on her body, making her look like a big warm doll.

"I know you care about me. She whispered, "Thank you." ”

She was so shy that even Gu Huo became inexplicably shy. He scratched the back of his head rather awkwardly and said very embarrassedly, "Hey, it looks like I'm asking for praise on purpose." ”

Miki suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek quickly. Gu Huo's heart throbbed, and the eyes that looked at her became gentle.

It's rare to be free today, and the theater in the mall just happens to be re-screening "Rapunzel". Miki really liked the movie so much that she invited Gu Huo to watch it with her.

Guho originally thought that this kind of Disney princess movie would be boring, so he bought popcorn and carbonated drinks, and was ready to eat and sleep. Unexpectedly, in the end, he watched it more seriously than Miqi, and after the movie ended, he was still immersed in the plot and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

Miki laughed at him, "Are you going to be a Disney fan again?"

Gu Huo nodded, "We should really go to Shanghai Disneyland to play, it's right on our doorstep, and we feel sorry for Disney if we don't go." ”

Miki agreed, and agreed with him to go to Shanghai Disneyland when he had time.

Early the next morning, Miki boarded a train bound for Huaguo Mountain. Originally, Gu Huo planned to accompany her, but an interview came temporarily, and Cheng Xiaoxiao resolutely refused to approve his leave. Although he himself felt remorseful, Miki felt that it was not a big deal, and of course his work was important. Gu Huo still felt relieved, "No matter what Cheng Xiaoxiao is, I must accompany you." ”

Miki smiled and soothed him, "It's just a small thing, and I can handle it myself." And if you go with me, I'll be embarrassed instead. ”

Gu Huo frowned and did not speak.

"Give me a little bit of personal space. Miki looked up at him, "Okay?"

In the end, Gu Huo had no choice but to let her go alone.

The train arrived quickly, and Yoneyama was waiting for her as early as ever. Miki looked at him as haggard and knew that this time must not be very good. Without saying a word, he took the bag from Miqi's hand and strode forward. Miqi hurriedly caught up with him, looked at his side face, and stopped talking several times.

Although they were relatives, she didn't want to interfere too much in her brother's private feelings. Everyone has the right to love others, and they also have the right to hate others. If the younger brother wants to hate someone, it is his freedom, and she will not talk much. But now this hatred obviously affected his mood, which she did not want to see.

"How have you been these days?" she asked tentatively.

Yoneyama's face was covered with a haze, "What else, as usual." After saying that, he closed his mouth tightly, looking unwilling to talk more.

Miki didn't give up, she continued, "What about him? How is he? Have you talked together?"

At the mention of that person, Yoneyama showed that childish expression of resentment again. Mi Qi looked at such a younger brother, and his heart felt like he was being pinched hard. They went back to their childhood, with no one to help the two little children, snuggling up to each other in the dark night, and the intermittent whimpering and mournful screams of women could be heard in their ears.

She suddenly wanted to cry. Obviously, those days are far away from them, and they are no longer weak children, but the sense of panic still lingers in their hearts, and they can't completely dissipate it. Sometimes, she can beat it, and other times, she loses. At this moment, she also turned back into the helpless little girl.

She said in a stalk, "My sister is very sad to see you like this. ”

Mishan turned his head to look at her, and found that she had a weeping expression, tears rolling in her eyes, and she was shaking.

He stopped, looked down at the unclean stone floor, and did not speak for a long time.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I made you worried. He whispered, his tone full of self-reproach.

Miki tried her best to put on a smile, "What's there to be sorry for." Her voice grew weaker as she spoke, "I just want you to be happy every day." You were already unhappy when you were a child, and I don't want you to be unhappy even when you grow up......"

The two siblings packed up their mood and continued to move forward.

There are no guests in the Cicada Temple today.

White smoke rose from the chimney of the room, and a big yellow dog lay lazily at the door. Xiahou Jing, who was wearing a yellow monk's robe, appeared quietly in sight, with a peaceful face and a calm look.

This kind of him made Mi Qi feel unfamiliar, she had to pull the corners of her mouth, smiled reluctantly, and took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, Xiahou, we meet again." ”

Xiahou folded his hands together and recited Amitabha.

"When we met for the first time, the poor monk called the pure heart. ”

As he spoke, his eyes did not fluctuate, and Miki suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was a little sad.

She looked at the young man fixedly. The younger brother's partner, a man younger than himself. often teased her, but gave her her hand-made bacon. He should have had a crush on her, but he asked her to fall in love seriously and not come back. It was just a blink of an eye, and on his face, she could no longer see those vivid expressions, and the awkward young man had disappeared, replaced by the master of pure heart who had cut off the love thread.

She folded her hands together and bowed deeply. Looking up, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

"Hello, Master of Pure Heart. ”

Jingxin bowed slightly, "I'll take you to see him." ”

Under the guidance of Pure Heart, Miki finally meets her father. The man who gave her life, but then walked away halfway through. - Mi Fusheng.

When she saw him, he was lighting a fire and cooking, and the light of the fire in the stove made his face red. He is much older than in the photo, but strangely more human. The young Mi Fusheng is a cold person, and his body exudes the aura of being unapproachable. But the middle-aged Mi Fusheng has become a good-faced man, the kind of kind uncle that is often seen on the street.

Just by looking at it, Miki knew that he must have had a good time all these years. Family is a shackle to him, and family is a shackle to him. He was so crushed that he couldn't breathe, so he had to escape from that oppressive environment.

Before Mi Fusheng realized himself, Miqi turned around to leave, but Miyama grabbed her hand.

"Let go, let me go. Miki lowered his voice and whispered, "He's fine now, I don't want to disturb him." ”

Mishan looked at his sister with complicated eyes, "Mom is fine, Dad is also good, everyone is fine." But what about you, sister, how are you doing?"

Miki lowered her eyes and was silent.

When the sister and brother were at a stalemate, Jingxin on the side took it upon himself to call Mi Fusheng over.

"Uncle Mi, this is the daughter you are looking for. ”

Mi Fusheng looked at the slim girl in front of him, his eyes full of surprise. When he left, his daughter was only five or six years old, and in the middle of the stars, the little girl had already become such a beautiful big girl.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and said cautiously, "Miqi, you are Miqi, you are my daughter?"

Miki still kept her head down, not daring to look at him for a long time.

Her silent posture was as if she was resisting, and Mi Fusheng's expression gradually became lost. He looked at his son, a good young man like a mountain, who was now looking at him with hatred.

It was he who couldn't live because of his own sin, and he couldn't complain that these two children were so cold. Just as Mi Fusheng wanted to turn back and continue to burn the fire, Mi Qi suddenly raised his head.

Those dark eyes reminded Mi Fusheng of the woman he once loved, but the eyes in front of him were sharper. The rays scanned his whole body, leaving all the thoughts in his mind unobserved.

Mi Qi looked at the strange man in front of him, and said in a flat tone, "I guess you must have had a good time all these years, and I am very happy for you to see you doing well." ”

Mi Fusheng just wanted to laugh, but he heard his daughter say again, "But I'm sorry, I really can't be your daughter again." ”

She said this sentence as usual, her eyes were sharp like a knife, and she made a cut in his heart, and blood beads slowly oozed out.

Then she suddenly smiled again, and smiled easily, as if relieved.

"But don't get me wrong, I'm not very you. Mi Qi said lightly, "Although we are related by blood, we have no chance to be relatives." It's a bit of a shame, but it's not that much. ”

Her words really made Mi Fusheng feel ashamed, he had nothing to say, only to retreat.

Miki really seemed to let go completely, and then she asked him where he had been all these years, what he had done, whether he had restarted his family, etc. When he said this, Mishan, who had been silent, said coldly, "Mom has remarried." ”

Mi Fusheng's reaction was as he expected, a little unexpected, and more embarrassed.
