DAY 36 My decision
My uncle and Dean Lu looked at me with distressed faces.
At this time, my mother beckoned me to come in to help with the stir-frying, and I quickly patted my face to tidy up my expression, and turned around and went into the kitchen.
After eating, my uncle offered to wash the dishes, and my mother also ran to help, and the siblings seemed to have something to say.
I asked Dean Lu, "What are you going to do next?" β
Dean Lu shook his head: "Stay for two days first, and then go to F City when they are evacuated." β
"You're going to F City too?!" I blurted out.
He looked up: "What do you mean?" Are you going there too? β
I thought about it for a moment and told him briefly what happened to me at school, including the group of men in black I met in the villa.
Dean Lu's expression suddenly became serious: "It seems that it is still dragging you down." Your classmate and that guy named Ono are still on the rooftop? β
"Well, it's not a drag, but if you're going to City F, can you take them with you? I promised to take them to City F. I pleaded.
"Of course that's fine. But...... I'm probably not the only one on my side. He looked at my expression, "I need your uncle to come with me." Now that there are fewer and fewer people around me who can be trusted, and his level of professionalism is no worse than mine, I really need his help. β
"Can I go with me then?" I thought about it for a moment and asked, "After so many days, I don't want to be in a passive state anymore. I wanted to find a way to actually save my mom and dad. β
Dean Lu seemed to be very embarrassed: "But City F is definitely more dangerous than City D, I can't completely guarantee your safety, and your uncle will definitely not agree to your going." Besides, if you go, what will happen to your parents? β
"I want to take them with me." I looked him in the eye, "I'm not going to waste that hard won an hour a day." β
"Do you know what you're talking about? Their current situation is very unstable, and there are too many uncertainties out there, and it is easy for you to take them out in danger. Dean Lu frowned, "What if they suddenly appear and you can't find them anymore?" β
"No, from today's conversation with the new 'mom', I found out that they seem to have a place where they need me and my brother." My expression was very serious, "Uncle just said that those 'neighbors' are also looking for us. If we were so important to them, they wouldn't have left us so easily. β
After thinking about it for a while, Dean Lu said to me, "You have to take care of your own proportions. I'll probably stay here for more than two days, and in that time you'll have to think for yourself, and you'll tell me your answer the morning after tomorrow. If you still insist on your choice, then I will help you convince your uncle. β
Then he paused and looked at me deeply: "But you have to think about it - it's your own judgment, and you have to bear whatever the outcome, good or bad." β
I looked at him wordlessly, nodded halfway, and turned back to my room.
"Daddy" and his brother woke up in the evening. "Mom" has already changed back, and she took "Daddy" and took him to the balcony to talk, and it should have been about the agreement between us.
I went and told my brother too. With so much going on in his sleep, his expression was a little unacceptable.
Soon, "Mom and Dad" finished talking, and "Dad" looked at us indifferently and said, "So, do you want to see him now?" β
My brother and I nodded immediately, and the day was almost over, so we didn't want to waste a chance.
He scratched the back of his head impatiently, and stood still in front of us with a reluctant expression, just like "Mom", and in the same time as he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, the familiar man returned.
"Glutinous...... Lolo?! I...... Can I really move?! Dad stood there at a loss, at first with a confused expression, but then gradually turned into excitement, and finally burst into tears.
My brother and I couldn't help but pounce on him and hug him. We haven't seen my dad in a long time since we've seen my mom. Speaking of which, this should be the first time that he has taken control of the body after the birth of a new personality.
Dad also hugged us fiercely, and Daddy, who has always been tall and mighty in our minds, behaved like a child who was stubbornly guarding his treasure and didn't want to be taken away by others, muttering in a deep voice with a slightly nasal voice: "It's good that the family is still together...... You're all right...... It's good if it's not scattered...... It's good if it's not scattered......"
"Dad...... "My brother and I also cried so hard that we hugged him desperately, wishing that we would never be separated in this life."
"Mom" watched coldly from the side, and after a while, she went out with an incomprehensible face.
My brother and I lay on my father's shoulder, sobbing and assuring him that I would do everything in my power to restore him and my mother to the way they were. Dad's answer was the same as Mom's: "You two are fine, as long as our family is still there." Mom and Dad are fine, there will be a way to solve this virus, you must not do anything dangerous, you know? With that, he pulled us out of his arms and stared earnestly at our faces, as if waiting for our assurances.
I nodded, but I swore in my heart that no matter what I did, I wanted Mom and Dad to go back to the way they wereβI wanted them back, and I couldn't let such a filthy personality take over my beloved Mom and Dad's body forever.
My brother seemed to be saying something in my father's ear again, and my father looked at me and pointed at my brother helplessly. I got up in understanding, turned and went out. Before leaving, he reluctantly glanced at his father, and carefully helped them cover the door - father and brother used to have some "man-to-man conversations" together, talking about some of the confusion that my brother had recently encountered, and then my father would guide him on how to think and solve the problem. It seemed to be a very important way for them to communicate, and even my mother and I were not allowed to disturb us during the conversation.
Anyway, my mother is mine during the day, so I'll leave my father's time for my brother at night. I sniffed and walked to my room.
As soon as he entered the door, he immediately sent a WeChat message to Sha Crush: "Where are you and Ono now?" "I also told her everything that happened before through voice, except for the connection between Dean Lu and those men in black.
Immediately received a reply: "Still in the helicopter." It's safer here, it can block the wind and have a place to sleep, Ono can also help us find food back, and life is free, don't worry about us. But what are you going to do next? Do you really want to come with us to City F? β
I groaned for a moment and replied, "Well, I decided. Blindly avoiding it is not good, it will only make the situation worse. β
There was a voice message from there, and I clicked on it and put it in my ear, and it was a broken and steady voice: "As long as you are here, the situation will not be too bad." β
I laughed, laughed and laughed and cried. I suddenly began to miss that quiet and peaceful campus time, I, An An, Shatter and Xiaomo rushed to the North Campus to attend classes, the sun was just right on the road, and we all had each other's quiet and happy lives.
And that kind of life seems to be a century away from us.
