Chapter 5 Sorrow

There is a 16-year age gap between me and her, and as time goes by, the generation gap between us will only get deeper and deeper, and by the time she reaches puberty, Xueqi will probably become rebellious like all girls and socialize with other boys, while I will only become more and more pedantic, playing a pedantic middle-aged and elderly person who knows everything and only says this and that.

Even now, Xueqi and I already have some ideological differences. In the past two years, as Xueqi began to enter elementary school, I have become more and more aware of Xueqi's independent thinking. There has been some generation gap between us.

For example, when watching TV, Xueqi always likes to watch villain movies and cartoons, and I like to watch news and dramas, so I often fight in order to grab the remote control, although I always let Xueqi in the end, but at that time, I already felt the difference between my thinking and her.

For example, when shopping for clothes, I like dark colors such as black and gray, while Xueqi likes bright colors such as white, pink, and light blue, and she sometimes says, papa, you wear this dress, just like the security guard grandfather in our communication room, so old.

Xueqi said that I was old, although it was unintentional, but I always felt extremely sad at that time.

And, of course, there are countless details of life. But the most important thing is that as Xueqi spends more and more time in school, and I am separated from her for longer and longer, the story between me and her has become more and more far apart, and she and I are no longer people of the same world.

While I was busy in the company, busy with shipments, foreign trade orders and stock securities, Xueqi was playing with girls at school and discussing TV drama topics that were only available after the 00s.

My world and her world are really getting farther and farther apart.

Although this gap does not widen in a day, I can always feel it little by little as time goes on.

Before Xue Qi went to school, everything she knew was taught to her by my own hands, her skills, the words she knew, and the things she knew were all taught to her by me, sometimes Xue Qi's eyes were fixed on a thing, and I could see what she was thinking, because I knew everything she knew, and I had experienced everything she had experienced. The amount of knowledge between me and her is like the inclusion relationship in mathematics, my knowledge is a big circle, and Xueqi's knowledge is just a small circle, which is included in my big circle.

But when Xueqi went to school, she saw more things, and her experience was completely different from mine, and the inclusive relationship between us gradually became an overlapping relationship, and her circle expanded more and more, and even many parts have been completely separated from me.

And this trend will become more and more obvious as Xue Qi grows bigger and bigger.

This trend has only brought me one reflection, and that is:

Xueqi and I, can we really be together?

I don't know the answer. I really don't know. Even if it is a difficult mathematical equation, there are always some genius mathematicians in this world who can solve it for you, but no one in this world can tell me the answer to the question of the future.

The only thing that can give me the answer is my future self.

The future of me and Xueqi always comes to mind from time to time, but in the world outside of the problem, Xueqi and I are still very happy and at ease, after all, Xueqi is still young, after all, for that ethereal future, it is much more real now.

At least until nightfall, we can have the best twilight.

When I was with Xueqi, there was never a shortage of joy.

Playing is a way for Xueqi and I to be happy.

I taught Xueqi a lot of ways to be happy, for example, some games that only the two of us could play.

When I was at home, I often played games with Xueqi, let's take one game as an example, Xueqi and I often played a game called "scratching your head in the bed". The way of the game is very simple, that is, Xue Qi is hiding in the quilt, and I am outside the quilt, when Xue Qi deliberately pokes out her head and grimaces at me, I go to shoot her head with the fastest reaction, if she shoots, she loses, and then she shoots my head outside the quilt. It's a very childish game, but every time it makes me and Xueqi play crazy and have fun.

Xue Qi likes to play this game very much, although every time she can't play me, she is caught by me.

Of course, in addition to the simplest and crazy brain-scratching games, there are also the most ordinary hide-and-seek games.

Hide-and-seek, although it is a game, has another extremely important use for me.

It can be said that if it weren't for this game, Xueqi would have been exposed to my relatives a long time ago.

As far as I can remember, the most dangerous time Xue Qi was almost exposed was on the Saturday night after I had just taught the little ones who had bullied Xue Qi.

That Saturday, Xue Qi and I were watching TV in the living room at home, when there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house, and the doorbell also came from the voices of my aunt, uncle and cousin (my cousin was wrong before, it should be my cousin), at that time I immediately realized that it was my aunt who came to see me, I put down the remote control as soon as possible, and said to Xue Qi urgently: "Qiqi, the devil is coming, hurry up and hide in the room, don't come out before I go back to the room, don't make a sound." ”

"The devil is coming" is the code agreed between me and Xueqi, whenever I have distant relatives to visit the door, I will tell Xueqi that the devil is coming, and then let Xueqi hide in my bedroom without making a sound, until I send the "devils" away, she can not come out.

Although Xue Qi didn't know why I always kept her from others, she had been like this since she was a child, so she didn't doubt my words, so she ran upstairs in a panic and hid in the bedroom on the third floor.

I went outside the house to greet my aunt and they came in.

When I opened the door, my aunt complained about me why I didn't open the door for so long, and I apologized that it took me some time to go to the bathroom. Auntie, they didn't say anything.

Auntie, their reason for coming is very simple, they haven't seen me for a long time, and they just happened to be free to go out today, so they came to see me. My aunt also brought me some souvenirs that were said to be their friends, and my cousin even picked out two long-sleeved shirts for me. At that time, I was really surprised, and I smiled and told them that I was 26 years old and had long been independent, so why did you still treat me like a child.

My aunt smiled and said to me, "In my aunt's eyes, as long as you haven't asked for a daughter-in-law, you will always be a child." Saying that, my aunt also asked me if I had a partner and other topics, and said that if I couldn't find her, she could help me be a matchmaker to go on a blind date. But my cousin has a good relationship with me, and he is also very positive about this matter, and he has asked me to find a partner several times, and he keeps hinting that if I want to, the blind date is definitely a very good girl.

At that time, I could only smile bitterly and say that I was already a little eyebrow-raising, so you don't have to worry about it.

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as I said it, my aunt and uncle became even more energetic, and asked me what are the qualifications of the object, and when can I get married?

I had to reply that it would take a while for the results to come, and I really don't want you to worry, you are thinking too much.

But although I tried my best to explain, my aunt and uncle were still very worried about my marriage problems, they said that I had lived alone for a long time, and I had been lacking emotional communication for a long time, and my personality would have problems, so it was better to find a girl to live as soon as possible.

I was sung by my aunt and uncle for a double reed, I was also dizzy, and it was not good to go against them, in desperation, I could only comfort them and let them not worry, maybe they would be able to drink the wine soon, soon, really soon, maybe it will be okay after a while.

Under my comfort, my aunt and uncle finally believed me for the time being, and they finally had the intention of leaving after staying in my house for a while, and I was ready to send them away, but at that time my aunt temporarily said that she wanted to go to my bedroom to see how I was living alone, and by the way, to see if there were any pictures of my girlfriend.
