Chapter 9: Deep Memories (II)

A sedan sped down the road on a rainy day, although the view became hazy after a short distance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut the sedan was running at a reckless speed like a beast, ignoring pedestrians and any obstacles, running red lights one after another. The splash rippled beautifully, wetting the clothes of many pedestrians holding umbrellas

A pedestrian zebra crossing, the street lamp on the sidewalk has just turned from red to green, the girl wearing a school uniform is walking on the zebra crossing with a flower umbrella, the breeze is dawning, the girl's long hair dances in the wind, the slender body is swaying, accompanied by the sweet and pleasant sound humming from the corner of the girl's gently raised mouth, which provokes the young men passing by on the side of the road to cast their admiring eyes.

This day is the happiest day for the girl, and it is also the day she looks forward to the most in the year. Although it was a hazy and rainy day, it did not affect her excitement about this year, which is only once in the year

Humming a song and smiling on the zebra crossing, the rain crackling with flower umbrellas adds joy to the girl's mood at the moment. But who could have predicted that in the next second, all the originally harmonious rhythms would be disrupted, and the source of disaster from the sky would begin.

In order to save the frightened child in front of her, the girl did not hesitate to run forward and push the stunned child away, but she didn't have time to dodge and fell into a pool of blood, and the bright school uniform was dyed blood red

Falling next to the girl, it was only the small bag containing the books and the stiff ground and the delicate little gift box that had not yet had time to be sent, the gargling and sorrowful screams of the rain beating all around, and the flower umbrella that had lost its trust slowly descended with the rain, and finally fell on the road of stagnant water......

The cries of children, the anxious calls of people on the side of the road for emergency services, and the accusations of stopping the driver of the accident formed this endless cry of sorrow. However, I am afraid that all these girls can no longer feel it

…………

"Kid, ask, ask the question you want to know!" Looking at Wang Wanling, who was silent and staring at him, Meixin's father said

Are you sure you want me to ask? That is to say, you are mentally prepared, right, in that case! Wang Wanling looked at Meixin's father with a firm gaze for a while, and then took the 'family photo' in front of him and said, "This is it."

"Oh, this one, that's all~"

Meixin's father took the photo and held it in his hand, staring deeply, leaning on the sofa weakly, his eyes showing nostalgia and sadness.

In fact, he himself didn't understand whether he was saying this to Wang Wanling or to his current self.

This man ...... Meixin's father's undeserved calmness made Wang Wanling's heart even more uneasy

"Above is my wife and two children, a family photo from three years ago"

"Two children, ...... three years ago?" Wang Wanling took pity on this sentence, and as if she understood something, she locked her brows deeper. He spoke again and said, "Uncle, my question may be rude, and perhaps rude. But I still want to ask, there are sixteen pictures like this, which is normally one per year, right?

She pointed to the photo in Meixin's father's palm, "The one from three years ago didn't continue to be taken?"

Also, what about the other girl in the photo!

"......! continue to shoot?" Meixin's father fell silent, looking helpless. After a long time, he exhaled heavily, snorted lightly, lowered his head and stroked the photo and said, "How can you continue to shoot, hum!"

The deep eyes look at the photo obsessively, looking at the deeper meaning conveyed by the photo, looking at what others can't see

Time froze for a long time before he let out a long breath. It was as if the breath was exhaled to get rid of some constraints

"Meixin's child~ Since I showed you this, it means that she is also ready, I will tell you things without keeping anything, and let you choose whether to leave or stay when the time comes..."

"As I said earlier, this is our family portrait. The other child above~" continued to say with a soft sob

"This child is Meixin's sister, I believe you have guessed something, so you don't have to ask so tentatively, I will tell you directly, on December 20th, two years ago, on a rainy day, because of a car accident, left us"

"December... Twenty ......" This date shocked Wang Wanling! What surprised her was not a few times when she was still a man, but after becoming this body, it happened frequently!

"Yes, you're right, it's the two children's birthdays," Meixin's father replied in the affirmative as if he knew what she was thinking, but his face was full of remorse

The short words of 'December 20', which should have been an ordinary day on the calendar, were now pressed her heart like a heavy stone, and made her ache

"It was a beautiful day, it was a day to look forward to, it was supposed to say happy birthday that day, it didn't matter if it rained or something, but the sudden disaster..."

But the sudden disaster caused this young life to close his eyes from then on......

From Mei Xin's father's story, she knew the whole thing

Just three years ago, on December 20th, a few days from now, Christmas was a happy day, and the overcast sky had begun to rain coldly three days earlier. As if to foreshadow something, rain defies common sense, replacing the snowy weather at this time of year.

December 20 is the twin sister's birthday.

The family is looking forward to this day, although the weather is cold, although it is raining, but no one in the family will be bored, and even have great expectations for the evening, looking forward to the moment of celebration in the evening, everyone is full of joy and looking forward to the arrival of the evening.

Meixin and her sister, who are only in their first year of high school, both secretly buy birthday gifts for each other, and then wait for the birthday celebration to give the gifts to each other. To add to the mystery, both parties don't know what the other is going to give.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the twins, the two sisters guess each other's favorite items every year. The most surprising thing is that the two sisters never asked their parents what they liked and needed from each other, but they could always give it to each other when the other needed it, or, this is the so-called flesh and blood connection, and there is a heart and a soul...

Then there is the family photo that is only taken once a year and only once a year. It's also the most exciting time for the whole family, and it's also the most joyful moment! It's not the same as celebrating the New Year or other festive seasons... But who knows, everything that should have been going on as smoothly as in previous years has completely become dead and completely wiped out because of the accident. From a happy birthday to a sad and hateful death day year after year.

"If the kids hadn't saved the two kids, none of this would have happened. But it's because the kid is so kind that he's here."

"Is that so, uncle!" she interrupted Mi Shin's father, "I was thinking that if that car hadn't run a red light, none of this would have happened. At the end of the day, it's all because of the car."

Mei Xin's father didn't answer her immediately, just shook his head slightly, "Everything has happened, you can't change anything, what's the use of being angry? And I'm proud that I have such a daughter." ”

"Then uncle, don't you hate the owner of the car who ran the traffic light? Don't you hate the two little children? Don't you hate everyone who was there at the time? If the owner of the car didn't run the red light, if there was no child, your daughter wouldn't have to save people, let alone have misfortune later! Or... If one of those present at the time had dared to preempt your daughter, then there would have been no such tragedy. Although she was asking Meixin's father on the surface, Wang Wanling was also asking herself, if it weren't for the perpetrator, she wouldn't be separated from herself forever because she wanted to save the old woman. She hated the perpetrator who was driving, hated the old woman, hated the people around her who didn't rush in front of her, and hated the beautiful and kind her who was desperate to save people. But every time he thought of her smiling face, he immediately melted all his hatred and made him hate her

"Kid, you're thinking too extreme. Why should I hate them? If it weren't for all this, I wouldn't have seen what my children were. I won't be grateful to these people, but I won't hate them either. ”

"Uncle, what if you see it clearly, you have to pay such a big price for seeing your child's heart clearly. Do you think it's worth it? If so, I'd rather never see it for the rest of my life. ”

"Besides, uncle, that's your child, what kind of person is she, don't you know as a parent, as a guardian?" Saying that, Wang Wanling stood up very unhappily in her heart and prepared to leave, she looked down on this cowardly young uncle, and she didn't want to stay for a second, "If that's the case, you are not a qualified father, you are not worthy of being their guardian, and you are not worthy of being a father!"

After a few seconds of silence...

"Child!" Meixin's father didn't look up, looking at the photo, not knowing whether it was sad or happy, just laughing

Before Wang Wanling left a distance and was about to take the door, he said, "Don't push yourself too deep, otherwise you will be very tired." I don't know what happened to you, but it shouldn't be a good thing."

"You know what?! Although that girl is gone, she lives in our hearts. Maybe as you said, I'm really not a good father, but I have a daughter I'm proud of, whether it's Meixin or Hao'er!"

Do you live in your heart? Live in the most painful place in your heart! Wang Wanling wanted to say this but she didn't say it, not to mention that a cowardly person like you is in charge of me, whether I am tired or not is my own business

"Yes, that's right, girl," Mei Xin's beautiful mother stood there in pajamas at the door, with a sparkle of sparkle in the corner of her eyes, obviously hiding in the door and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two

"Maybe we're all unqualified parents, but do you know why that girl was desperate to save that child at that time?"
