"Oh, my head hurts, this? Where is this? "I had a splitting headache and struggled to open my eyes to find myself in a completely unfamiliar place.

"Ziluo, hey, wake up." As soon as Xiang Ling, who was guarding the bedside, saw Ziluo wake up, she immediately turned around and shouted to the kitchen, "Mom, Mom, come on, Ziluo is awake." ”

"Xiangling? How did I end up here? Where's my dad, where is my dad? I'm going to see him right away? Ziluo struggled to sit up, and felt dizzy and black.

"Awake? Great, Ziluo you have slept for a day and a night, and now your body is very weak, lie down, quickly. Xiangling's mother wore an apron around her waist and a white porcelain bowl in her hand, and as soon as she came in, she saw that Ziluo was strong and hurriedly advised.

"Auntie."

"Hey, good boy, good boy, you have to recuperate now, don't think about anything else, believe in Auntie, eternal reincarnation, a qiē has its own fixed number."

"Auntie, how is my dad, I want to see him."

"I know you're anxious, listen to Auntie, this is just boiled chicken soup, drink it first. Come on, open your mouth. Xiangling's mother made it in front of the bed, and blew the chicken soup in the spoon to her mouth and sent it to Ziluo's mouth.

"Auntie, I'm ......"

"Okay, the aunt you think in your heart understands, let's fill our stomachs first. Obedient. "Alas, poor boy, how shall I tell you the truth? Do you want to tell the truth? It's too cruel, the pain of losing your father---- how to say it so that you can face it and accept it and minimize the pain.

"Yes, Ziluo, let's drink it first."

Ziluo seemed to see through Xiangling's mother's unspeakable secret, she obediently opened her mouth, and she couldn't cry after drinking only a spoonful of chicken soup with tears.

Xiangling's phone rang.

"Yes, Sang-nam."

"Haven't found it yet? What can I do? Well, Ziluo has woken up, yes, yes, I will take care of her, well, I will convey your concern for her, and I will make the truth of the matter clear to her, don't worry. ”

"Sang-nam? Xiangling, what's wrong? ”

"Ziluo, there is something I need to explain to you, don't be too sad after you hear it, okay?" Xiang Ling stared at Ziluo carefully with her eyes, wondering if she would have the courage to accept a qiē when she was so fragile now.

"Hmm," Purple Carrot bit her lip with her teeth. I vaguely feel that the appearance of Mr. Xiangnan is related to my father.

"After you passed out in the hospital, the doctor helped you get an injection, but you woke up and kept holding your dad and crying, fainting several times, and the doctor made you go home to recuperate in order to reduce the irritation. Mom and I had to take you to our house first. Who knows, who knows that when I go back to the hospital, the doctor says, "Your dad him?" ”

"My dad, what's wrong with my dad? Xiangling. ”

"Your father, he, he's missing."

"Impossible! My dad was so badly injured, how could he disappear for no reason. Ziluo didn't believe it, and kept beating her head with her hands. It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's so useless, even my dad can't see it well. ”

"Purple carrot. Don't blame yourself yet, who would have thought that this would happen. Xiangling's mother stepped forward to hug Ziluo and held her hand hard to prevent her from maliciously hurting herself.

"Yes, Ziluo, just now, Teacher Xiangnan also said just now, he and the boys in the class searched the neighborhood, but they didn't find it."

"Dad, poor Dad, where are you, I miss you, come back." Ziluo finished crying silently, pushed Xiangling away hard, and was trembling to stand up, because he hadn't eaten for two days, and his collapsed body couldn't withstand the toss and stumbled and fell on the bed.

"Ziluo, we can all understand your current mood, even if you want to go, when you have eaten enough, it's not too late to go again when you have the strength."

"Yes, yes, if you don't find it, it proves that your dad may still be alive. Right. Xiangling and her mother comforted her kindly.

"Good boy, come, eat while it's hot, and I'll accompany you to find it later."

"Hmm."

In the end, Ziluo's father's body was not found.

Daddy must still be alive! Father and daughter are connected, and in the dark, there is always a feeling that makes Ziluo believe that her father has not left. After going through so much, Dad is just too tired, just looking for a place to rest, and when he thinks about himself, he will definitely come to me. Thinking of this, Ziluo was full of strength.

Back in the evening, in the rented house where the father and daughter depended on each other, Ziluo stroked the only photo with her father with her hand and muttered to herself.

Dad, no matter where you are, you must be well, wait for me, wait for me to grow up, wait for me to work and make money, I want to give you a warm home, so that you can make up for all the suffering, and we will never be separated from now on. All right? Dad, you have to be good, wait for me.

Hazy, the memory is pulled back to the time when I quarreled with my father, just because my father had touched his diary, I was angry and didn't talk to him, I didn't eat what he cooked, and the cold war lasted for three days, that is, in these three days, my father got a lot older, although he was not a qualified father, but he was a good father. Use the money left over from the sale of liquor to bring her a lollipop; I'd rather be wronged than add a new, most difficult piece of red head rope for her in the New Year; When I went to my mother's grave with her, I always said that it was good, and every time I accompanied my mother to drink, I had to fight for merit, because my purple dill was so decent. The corners of Ziluo's mouth rose and smiled slightly, yes, Dad, if it weren't for you, I would only be a radish head that didn't grow big.

Ziluo remembered something under the shadow of the lamp, and took out the thin note that her father had left for her from her pocket. When I opened it, it turned out to be an IOU, and what was surprising was that the borrower was none other than Mr. Xiangnan, whom she trusted.

Why is this happening? Why?

Ziluo has ostensibly come out of the pain of losing her father.

At the beginning of class, the first thing Xiang Nan did when he walked up to the podium was to look at Ziluo's seat. The girl's grass-like eyes were full of freshness and firmness, which was touching.

It's just that the purple carrot is lying low on the table, listless. The eyes didn't worship him as usual and naughtily catered to him, giving him a small smile for the first time. I didn't look up at myself for the whole class. What made her so disappointed? Isn't it...... He didn't dare to think about it any further.

"What's wrong, did anything happen today?" After class, Xiang Nan specially called Zi Luo to the office and asked with concern. The messy hair is tied into a ponytail at the back of the head, and the delicate and helpless appearance makes people feel pity. I hope that if it wasn't for the money, she would have felt uncomfortable and added fuel to the fire.

"Teacher, I'm fine." The slightly hoarse and dark voice, the natural frowning eyelashes, like a dark cloud that does not disperse, have a sadness that cannot be dissolved.

It's clear that something is wrong, and it's hard-mouthed. Xiang Nan asked with a sincere face: "Sue me, let's share it together?" ”

"I ......" stopped talking, and his face first brought rain from pear blossoms.

Zi Lo kept rubbing the IOU in her pocket, not knowing whether she should tell the truth. No wonder Dad had been hiding from himself at the time, and there was a diary that had been flipped over, and he appeared in the square with Xiang Nan and disappeared, this qiē has too many doubts. It seems to be unrelated, but it is linked to the other.

Xiang Nan didn't see the hesitation in Ziluo's heart, and was concerned about the big bag on her forehead that had swollen overnight, and blood was coming out. "What's going on here?"

"It's okay, I accidentally touched the door frame in the morning." These days after her father left, she was used to not giving up.

"Why are you so careless, come, stick this, it's not good if it's inflamed." Xiang Nan bent down and took out a box of Band-Aids from the drawer, got up, and carefully applied a Band-Aid to the injured part of Ziluo.

Ziluo's height was more than half a head shorter than Xiang Nan's, and as she stood together, her raised face just felt the wind slightly from Xiang Nan's nose and the unique smell of a big man on his body. It's not the artificiality of perfume, it's not the sweetness of facial cleanser, it's like a man's unique body fragrance, in short, it smells great.

Ziluo was a little dizzy, like a child who had been wronged and helpless, and suddenly there was a conflict of hugging the man.

Gently, but stepping forward, her head gently close to his chest. Even if it's for a short time, the warmth is enough.
