Chapter 54 Clear Skies
I remember Jasmine once said that she likes rain, but she doesn't like the rainy day itself, she likes the moment when the sun shines on the earth and everything recovers.
She felt that at that moment, the world was the cleanest and most beautiful.
That was the most touching thing Jasmine ever said.
Now she's gone too.
Took everything she left in my home, including what she had said.
On the day Jasmine left, I picked up Xueqi and went home.
When she saw that everything in Jasmine's room was empty, Xue Qi was stupid.
She stood in the doorway for three seconds, without any movement.
Three seconds later, she burst into tears.
Then he turned his face with red eyes and glared at me with strange rage:
"Papa, where's Jasmine? Where did Jasmine go? You took her away, didn't you? Why did you let Jasmine go?"
I hadn't talked to Jasmine much for a few days, but now, Xueqi was crying and asking me where Jasmine had gone, and asking me about Jasmine's whereabouts.
She grabbed my hand, shook me, panicked me, yelled at me, cried and fussed at me.
I gently told her that Jasmine had been adopted.
Xue Qi stood in place.
"Why did you give her away, why?!"
Xue Qi looked at me in disbelief, her eyes widened, and she took a step back, she couldn't believe that I would do such a thing.
I grabbed her and said to her, "It's for Jasmine's good." It will be very difficult for Papa to stay here, and Papa is so busy that she can't take care of the two of you...... Jasmine was adopted by Wang Feng's brother's parents, and as you know, Wang Feng's brother died, and his parents had no son and wanted a child. They'll be fine with Jasmine. In the future, you can also go to their house often to see Jasmine......"
"Papa, why are you like this!Why are you sending Jasmine away!!!Hmmmm......" Xueqi was really crazy, she grabbed me, cried, cried, red-eyed, and she even kicked me with her foot.
After getting along for most of the year, Jasmine is like Xueqi's sister, Xueqi, who has had no brothers and sisters since she was a child, treats Jasmine like a sister, although Jasmine's attitude towards me in recent days has made Xueqi and Jasmine a little estranged, but in her heart, she still treats Jasmine as her sister.
But suddenly, Jasmine was gone.
didn't even explain anything to Xue Qi, and just left.
The impact this brought to Xueqi was incomparably huge.
It's no wonder that Xue Qi collapsed at this moment, she hit me and pulled me.
"Papa, go and get Jasmine back! Go, go!" she pushed me, insisting that I pick her up.
I sat on the bed and let Xueqi scold me and beat me.
In the end, I hugged Xueqi and forcibly pressed her into the armpit, she resisted desperately, crying loudly, but I didn't let her break free.
I didn't say a word, I just made her cry.
Wait for her to go through this most painful time naturally.
Isn't my heart just as painful?
However, a long pain is better than a short pain.
This is already the best ending.
To me.
To Xue Qi.
To Uncle Wang's family.
And there is also on Jasmine.
Both.
After a year of getting along, Jasmine has become much more sensible, she has broken a lot of her vices, and she has forgotten the past.
Came out of the shadows of the past.
Jasmine, who starts anew, will be a sunny, cheerful, and likable girl.
So, at this time, her departure is also the best.
Only by leaving the shadow of her mother's rape, and only by stepping out of the shadow of her indecent love with me, can she embark on a normal path in life.
Jasmine has new parents.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are her new parents.
She finally has a warm and complete family.
I should be happy for her.
At least, she's much luckier than me and Xueqi.
Xue Qi went crazy in my arms for a long time, my clothes were almost torn by her, and her tears all fell on my clothes.
Still, I was unmoved.
I didn't go pick up Jasmine back.
In the past few days, I have been reflecting and have already made up my mind.
Xue Qi couldn't change my mind anymore.
After Xueqi stopped crying, I called Jasmine's mobile phone and asked her to talk to Xueqi.
On the phone, both girls cried.
Xueqi asks Jasmine to come back, but Jasmine says that she already has a new mom and dad. She's going to live her life.
I have time to let Xue Qi also go over to play with her.
Xue Qi listened to Jasmine's familiar and intermittent words, covered her eyes with her arms and cried.
In the end, Xueqi failed to persuade Jasmine back.
I can only watch Jasmine become someone else's child.
"Papa, why are you like this!?Jasmine is your sister!!" Xue Qi yelled at me over and over again, her eyes red.
"It's for Jasmine's good. She has a mom and dad, which is better than just my brother. β
Xue Qi burst into tears again.
I couldn't convince Xue Qi to cry. I don't want to persuade either.
Because I want to cry too, but I just can't.
So let Xueqi cry for me.
No matter how big the storm is, it will eventually become a thing of the past.
A few days later, Xue Qi went to school. The study career of the third year of junior high school has begun.
In the third year of junior high school, Xueqi began to study at night, and she could only go home at 9 o'clock every night. Because of the evening self-study, Xueqi also came home for dinner and ate in the school cafeteria all the time.
I leave the house at 6 o'clock every day and come home at 9 o'clock in the evening.
Xue Qi and I have finally seen each other less, and between me and Xue Qi, almost only on weekends can get along well. But on Saturdays and Sundays, Xueqi still has to tutor, and we still don't have much time. Sometimes, if my company is in a hurry, we don't see each other much throughout the day.
Jasmine is gone, Xueqi has to go to school, and all of a sudden, I am the only one left in the whole family.
It's just me.
Sometimes, when I come home alone and see the dark and empty hall, I feel an indescribable sense of loneliness.
It was as if I was the only one left in the world.
I'm starting to get a little scared of this home.
I started to fear loneliness.
I was afraid of a villa that was empty, with only sofas and tables.
I finally realized that only a home with loved ones is a home.
Although after my dad died, I was also lonely.
But at that time, at least one baby Xueqi accompanied me, listening to her crying, I always felt that there was a living life by my side, and I was not too afraid.
But now, my house is empty, and I really feel lonely.
Gradually, I didn't even go home for dinner.
I started hanging out with my colleagues, having dinner together, occasionally visiting relatives, going to my uncle's house, going to Uncle Wang's house, and going to the house of a friend I knew at work.
Also, sometimes I go to Yuhui's place. Yuhui hasn't found a partner yet.
She's also lonely.
Two lonely people.
In the dark, I found that I was so similar to Yuhui.
Will we come together?
I don't know.
But all this time, I didn't confess to Yuhui.
She and I are still so separated.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another Xue Qi passed.
Xue Qi has always been serious and hard-working.
In the first half of the third year of junior high school, she didn't cause any trouble, and she played very well at the end of the semester and took the third place in the exam.
Then, the second half of the third year of junior high school began.
That year, Xueqi was 16 years old.
She finally became a maiden.
And she is finally facing the high school entrance examination and graduating from junior high school.
She's going to high school.
She is becoming more and more beautiful, more and more pure, more and more slim, more and more graceful.
Xue Qi has finally become a big beauty.
And me?
I'm more of a drinker and I'm more used to being alone.
I feel more and more like a middle-aged person.
Mentality, behavior, have changed a lot.
Moreover, sometimes I prefer to reminisce.
In June, Xueqi took the high school entrance examination. The grades are good, the eighth in the class, the top 15 in the school, such a result, Xueqi is enough to go to the city's first-class universities.
Because of the good results in the high school entrance examination, I promised Xueqi that I could meet one of her conditions, and I could help her do anything.
At that time, after listening to my promise, Xueqi was in a good mood, and she said to me: I want to participate in the urban song and dance competition held in the summer vacation.
I was stunned.
I learned that Xue Qi won the praise of the whole school because of her singing performance at the graduation performance, and was recommended by the head teacher to a professional media training school in the city, so Xue Qi had the opportunity to participate in the song and dance competition.
Xueqi wanted this opportunity very much, but she was afraid that I would object.
And this time I said that I wanted to fulfill one of her wishes, so her wish was to participate in the singing and dancing competition.
I was surprised, but the words were out of my mouth, and I had no objection.
In July, Xue Qi participated in the urban student song and dance competition.
And the results shocked me.
First place in the city.
This is Xueqi's achievement. It is said that it was because the judges found that Xueqi sang and the stage very well, so they added points.
I didn't expect such a result, and neither did Xueqi.
But Xueqi is very happy, and I am also happy for her.
When Xueqi stood on the podium in a white dance dress, holding trophies and flowers, I applauded her from the bottom of the audience.
It's just that the winner that day, in addition to Xue Qi in the girls' group, there was also a person in the boys' group. It was a boy named Ma Bailong. He was very tall and very handsome, but at that time I couldn't see clearly because of the distance, so I wasn't impressed. It's just that when he accepted the award, the host specially asked Xueqi to sing a song with him, and was even asked by the audience to dance a simple dance.
The two work well together.
Then, in the midst of applause, the two stepped down from the stage, one left and one right.
Xue Qi also returned to me and happily showed me the trophy of the Student Singer Competition.
For several days in a row, Xue Qi was immersed in the joy of winning the song and dance competition.
I'm happy for her too.
Really happy.
Happy for days.
Xue Qi has been on the newspaper, on the TV interview, and on the Internet. Although it was not very popular, it was a little famous, and some advertisers and people from dance schools called my home, and of course, basically, I refused.
At that time, Xueqi was very unhappy, she said that she wanted to shoot commercials, and she still had money to get. I told her that my studies are important and that I am not short of money.
Xue Qi pouted and did not speak, her eyes were gloomy and disappointed.
Until one day a month later.
August 13 was the day the man appeared.
That morning, there was a knock on my door, and Xueqi was upstairs, so I went outside to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a smooth, white, sleek chin, and I realized that the man standing outside the door was a little taller than me.
So I looked up and looked at the people standing outside the door.
To my surprise, the man standing outside the door was much younger than I had imagined, a slender and athletic man in a white shirt, and a very handsome and sunny man.
He is very handsome and delicate, his eyes are clear and bright, and his face is exquisite, the first time I saw him, I thought it was a rookie star.
"You are?"
"Uh, may I ask you...... Is it Mr. Yang?" the handsome boy looked at me a little shyly and a little politely and heartily, and his smile was very contagious, making it difficult for me to feel distance.
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, let me introduce myself, I am Ma Bailong, I have also participated in the song and dance competition, and I have also sung with Chen Xueqi, I don't know if you have any impression?"
"Song and Dance Contest ......" I remembered at that time, it was him. "You're that champion?"
It's the boy who sang with Xueqi in the song and dance competition, and even danced.
He is also a major winner. Of course, it's the boys' group.
"Hehe, it looks like you know me. That would be great. In fact, I was asked to participate in this competition by my uncle, who is the president of White Horse Entertainment, and I am now his deputy, and our company is just going to shoot a public service announcement, so I want to invite Chen Xueqi to shoot together on behalf of the company. Because now Chen Xueqi has won the championship and is relatively well-known, our company takes advantage of her popularity. And if she does well this time, she can also take on other product endorsements for my uncle's company. β
"Want to shoot a commercial?"
"Yes, but with commercial advertisements, this time it is a public service advertisement, mainly for the promotion of urban greening...... It won't take up much of your family's time. I don't know if you agree?Hehe, I accidentally learned that you pushed a lot of ads, maybe you think the ads are too commercial, but this time, it's for public welfare. And we will give enough compensation, I don't know if you can make the decision to let Chen Xueqi participate in the advertising shooting? This is a contribution to the greening of the city, I think the grass in the city will thank you and Chen Xueqi. β
"What about this......" I hesitated.
Ma Bailong smiled faintly, his eyes clear, waiting for my reply.
"If it's really troublesome, you don't have to say yes. β
ββ¦β¦ All right. "Thinking that Xueqi has been pushing a lot of advertisers for me, I finally agreed.
Anyway, it's a public service advertisement, and it can also make Xueqi a girl addicted to advertising, why not?
The moment I agreed, I saw a thicker smile on the corner of Ma Bailong's mouth, and I slid my eyes casually and saw the white sports car behind him.
The brand-new body glows with a dazzling white light under the scorching sun.
It's a Rolls-Royce phantom worth tens of millions.
γThe rain of the Lori cultivation plan falls into the clear skyγ
Ma Bailong appeared. Yuan Fang, what do you think?

[Volume 10: Introduction to the City That Never Sleeps Rejects Dawn]
The lights of the city are swallowed up little by little by the darkness of the ant colony.
Under the light of the only remaining lights, I vaguely saw a series of shadows, shadows and shadows, staggered and changing, each one looked like her, but each one was not her.
It's her all over the world.
But the whole world can't find her.
She's gone.
Out of my world.
In this city that never sleeps that rejects the dawn.
