There's no need to rely on ice water to cool down now.

"It's rare for you and Dad to meet, do you want to come and sit in Daddy's room for a while?"

Xia Botao's tone was very cautious, and Xia Qu was in a trance for a while: "I...... Go pour some water. ”

Xia went sideways and passed by Xia Botao, and he could feel that Xia Botao was a little disappointed: "It's not too early, go and go to bed early." ”

"I'll pour water first, and then I'll come to your room."

Xia Botao was very surprised, and was stunned for ten seconds: "...... Good. ”

***

Xia went to pour two glasses of water, went upstairs to Xia Botao's room, and handed him a glass of water: "Dad." When he saw Wen Jiàn on Xia Botao's desk, he couldn't help frowning: "You are at this age, and you still work so hard?" ”

"Get used to it."

Suddenly neither of them knew what to say, so they could only hide their silence by drinking water.

"That kid is smart."

"Hmm."

"That Miss Yan...... It's not the same type you used to date, but Dad thinks she's cute, what about you? Do you feel appreciated? Or ......" Xia Botao listened to the description of the program team, and thought that Yan Kong was just Xia Qu's female partner.

"She's my girlfriend and I like her a lot."

Xia Botao was slightly surprised, but he only bowed his head slightly and did not express any opinion.

"I didn't expect you to agree to the program team coming to the house, and ...... Is it a special time? ”

"It's just a day, it's not a big deal."

"Really?" Of course, Xia Qu knew what kind of loss it meant for someone like Xia Botao, whose time was more important than life.

Xia Bo smiled bitterly and changed the topic: "Dad accompanied you to record for a day today, I think it's very interesting, you are much better than me as a father." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Daddy misses you so much."

Xia went to purse his lips, speechless.

"Would you like to talk to Dad? Sue sù dad why do you hate me...... Just because of Cheng Zhen? ”

"I'm not hating you."

"What's that?"

"Can we leave this out of this?"

"Daddy just wants to know what you think. Sue sù Dad, okay? ”

After a long silence, Xia Qu finally spoke.

"Dad, I think you'...... They don't love me. From the time I was very young, I thought that you would always be right, that you would make decisions for me according to your wishes, and that I would not listen to the slightest resistance. But if you make a wrong decision, all the foreseeable sorrows, regrets, regrets, and unforeseeable consequences will be borne by me, and this is nothing in your heart, because I myself am nothing in your heart, so my joys, sorrows, and sorrows are not in your feelings at all. Even before I left New York, I remembered that you felt like I had never seen your smile. I know that sometimes some of my actions will cause problems in your life, and at that point you will only arbitrarily conclude that I am not good, and I only think about myself. You don't listen to my statements, my analysis, my reasons, because in your mind, I will always love only myself, and you would rather suppress me by violence, and you don't care if I'm satisfied or not, as long as I obey your wishes. You are the one who gave me life, but at the same time...... Hurting me, ignoring me, hitting me, insulting me, torturing me, I often wonder if you don't love me at all, and sometimes even feel that you are not the father I psychologically identify with. I know that there are fathers who don't show love, but I also believe that there are fathers who really don't love their children.

"Daddy...... Not to love is not a derogatory term, but not to love will lead to harm. Xia Qu turned his head: "I know, maybe in your opinion, it is a very naïve and extreme thing for a man in his twenties to still hold such thoughts, and I have indeed tried to keep myself from thinking like this all these years, but these are what I have always thought", Xia went to roll up his sleeves, revealing the cigarette scars on the inside of his big arms: "Dad, I will always remember how these three cigarette scars came about." He pointed to his heart: "You are hot on my arm, but I feel that you are hot here." ”

"Can't you give Dad a chance to atone for his sins?"

"Yan Kong once said to me that a good man's heart is like the sea. But all my minds, at most, can only treat Lyle as an ordinary little girl, or even my own sister, because she is innocent...... As for you and Cheng Zhen, I will never forgive you for forcing my mother to death. ”

Xia Botao didn't say a word, and after a long time: "...... It's Dad who is wrong. ”

Xia Qu lowered his eyes: "It's late, I'll go to sleep first." ”

"Child......" Xia went to the door when Xia Botao stopped him.

"What?"

"You said Dad doesn't love you, there's no such thing, although Dad doesn't know how to make you believe, but ......"

Xia Qu shook his head lightly: "...... Good night. ”

***

On the flight back to China, Yan Kong asked Xia Qu: "Is it okay to ask you?" ”

"Just ask."

"Have you talked to your dad?"

"What are you talking about, are you in love?"

"Pervert, you!" Yan Kong thrashed him: "I mean, has the relationship eased a bit?" ”

Xia Qu didn't answer her question directly: "I think my dad seems to be different from before." ”

"And then?"

"I sue him that I don't forgive him, drag?"

"Drag." But it's also very arrogant, before boarding the plane, his father came to see him off, so that he can often go back to New York in the future, he hesitated for a long time and said okay, obviously he has already begun to soften and shake, and he is still so duplicitous, I am merciful today, and I will not demolish you first.

"Daddy......"

"What's the matter?"

"Can you take me with you when you go to New York in the future?"

"Okay, what's the matter, you think New York is fun, don't you?"

Xiao Zhengtai blushed: "...... Well. ”

Xia Qu looked proud: "You see how successful I am as a tour guide, I seem to be in love with New York." ”

Yan Kong smiled meaningfully, what do you think New York is fun, people are reluctant to give up your sister, stupid ......

"Hey, wait for the wind to come."

"What?"

Yan Kong hahaha: "It's nothing. ”

***

On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival.

"Qianyue, Qianyue~" The little prince pestered his concubine for a morning: "Is it okay to go out with me tonight?" ”

Yan Yanyue didn't like to be lively, so she refused several times, and finally couldn't resist him: "Okay." ”

"Remember to dress better, hehe."

In the evening, the little prince held his chin and looked at Yan Qianyue left and right: "Concubine Ai, why are you still wearing white clothes?" ”

"Isn't it pretty?"

"Concubine Ai, you look good in anything, but today is Qixi Festival, and you are not allowed to wear white on such a festive day." Sikong Chajue took the hand of his concubine: "Come with this king, this king will pick it for you." ”

"Wearing this, it's pink and tender, how cute."

"I ......"

"Let's go for it."

Yan Qiyue changed into the pink light shirt that Sikong Chajue liked and came out: "How is it?" ”

"It's so beautiful, you really look good, concubine."

There was no way to take him, Yan Qianyue sighed lightly: "Are you leaving?" ”

"That's where it is." Sikong Chajue dragged people to Xuanyunxuan: "Aifei, why don't you apply some rouge, seeing your pale face, this king is distressed." ”

Don't overdo it: "I'm not used to it." ”

"Good moon, listen to this king today, good~"

"What if I don't listen to you?"

"That king can only pester you, this king is the most annoying, and you don't know it."

Yan Qiyue turned her face back: "It's only today." ”

"Hmm!"

Sikong Chajue called Ruotao: "Put some rouge on the princess." ”

Ruo Tao gently dusted some rouge on Yan Qianyue's face: "Lord Wang, is this okay?" ”

Sikong Chajue was very satisfied, and kept nodding: "Yes, it looks a lot better in this way, and he is several years younger all of a sudden." ”

Yan Qianyue lowered her eyes: "You...... Do you hate that I'm older than you? ”

The little prince hurriedly waved his hand: "How can there be, it's less than half a year old, it's negligible, what this king means is that you love the concubine, you dress up a little, it's just like a girl." ”

"It seems that I still dislike my old age." Yan Qianyue raised her eyes to look at Ruotao, and Ruotao sneered: "Lord Wang, you really can't speak." ”

"No, no, no, you're a girl." The little prince looked sincere.

Ruotao covered his lips: "Lord, do you want to help the princess paint her eyebrows again." ”

"No need, you can go out first."

"Yes."

The little prince looked in the direction where Ruo Tao left, turned around and said to Yan Qianyue with a smile: "That stupid Tao'er, of course the king has to do this thing himself. Aifei, close your eyes. ”

Sikong Chajue held one hand against Yan Qianyue's chin, and with the other hand, he picked up the eyebrow stone and traced it carefully according to the contours of her eyebrows.

"Actually, this king is not very good at thrushes, but your eyebrows are already very good-looking, so I'll draw a few meanings."

"Lord ......"

"Concubine Ai, don't open your eyes suddenly, this king is almost crooked." Sikong Chajue was actually very nervous, and his hands were shaking.

The little prince helped Yan Qianyue draw her eyebrows, and suddenly walked behind her: "This king will comb your hair in a bun again, okay?" ”

Yan Qianyue was a little ashamed, a woman should wear a bun after marriage, but she never did.

"Okay."

Sikong Chajue coiled her waterfall-like green silk into a simple bun, and gently kissed her hair when it was fixed.

Yan Qiyue knew very well what he meant, and the hair and eyebrows have been things that men are willing to do for the women they love since ancient times.

"Has the prince done this for others?"

"The moon ...... I think I've said it many times, I've had you alone in my heart since I was ten years old, and I'll be the same in the future. ”
