In the year 9078 of the imperial calendar, Si Mingyu, who was twenty-nine years old and in his prime, returned to the imperial capital to report to the military committee according to the regulations, and then enjoyed a short two-week vacation.

The debriefing process went smoothly, with his tactical arrangement and the innovation of the mecha unit, the defense line of Changshan in the East China Sea became more stable, and those sea clans who did not have IQ in the East China Sea also seemed to be a little timid, and did not dare to blatantly invade the Changshan region again.

Everything was perfect, and the **** who listened to the debriefing report was also very satisfied, and praised his attack well, and he was also modest as usual. Then arranged the work for the next year, and after some detailed discussions, Si Mingyu left the Military Commission building.

During the two-week vacation, he planned to spend a week in the imperial capital to contact some colleagues. Although as a soldier, he is still a high-ranking military officer, stationed in Changshan on the horizon, but it is still necessary to stabilize the strength around him, in order to prevent someone from stabbing you in the back.

At this time, his old friend Wei Jingchang suddenly appeared at his house.

Wei Jingchang is a friend he has known for a long time, a member of the Wei family in the second sequence, who is not very good, but he is not very young but sits in the position of the president of the imperial capital garrison, and he is still an important object of wooing. So they've always had a bit of a connection.

When Wei Jingchang heard that he had a two-week vacation, he immediately happily told him that there was a gathering of the upper echelons of society in the imperial capital recently, and it happened that Si Mingyu was in the imperial capital, so it was better to go together and meet more people.

Although the old era has passed, and large-scale banquets are no longer one of the necessary means for the nobles and families of the imperial capital to connect with each other and show their power, they are still loved by many people. Therefore, the banquet retains a certain practical value and is active in the imperial capital family.

Si Mingyu thought about it and felt that it was necessary to take a look, so he agreed.

Wei Jingchang gave him an invitation to the banquet on the spot, and he was a little curious at that time, how could Wei Jingchang seem to have known that he would appear here, and he had already known that he would agree to go to the banquet, and even carried the invitation card with him?

But thinking about Wei Jingchang's character, Si Mingyu didn't care much.

With the invitation, Si Mingyu changed into a military dress that night, and came to the venue of the banquet, which was the banquet hall of a famous aristocratic hotel.

What's more, all his money was sent home to subsidize the family and treat his father's illness.

Feeling the luxurious life of the family in his heart, Si Mingyu walked into the banquet hall, and the greeter in front of the door politely checked his invitation, politely led the way for him, and sent him to the banquet hall.

Wei Jingchang was looking around for his whereabouts, and when he saw Si Mingyu enter the door, he immediately walked over with a wine glass, took his arm and said, "Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to a few new friends!" ”

Si Mingyu knew that Wei Jingchang's so-called new friend was just a fox friend in their faction, but Wei Jingchang's own identity was here, obviously even a fox friend was qualified to enter Si Mingyu's eyes, so he followed Wei Jingchang to the other side of the banquet hall.

What surprised him was that among the new friends Wei Jingchang said, there was actually a woman.

To be honest, Si Mingyu is not good at dealing with women. Boys who grew up in poor families rarely have the favor of girls, and the subsequent experience of joining the army also made Si Mingyu live a life of not seeing women for many years, and he was always a little uncomfortable.

But this woman is obviously very interested in Si Mingyu.

After a few men chatted a few words and got to know each other, almost all of them were women asking Si Mingyu all kinds of questions, no matter what he said, this woman smiled and quietly relieved the embarrassment.

When Wei Jingchang took away the others, he quietly said to Si Mingyu: "Mingyu, you are not too young, this young lady is the eldest lady of the first Liu family, and I like a young and promising general like you very much, so seize the opportunity!" ”

patted Si Mingyu's chest as a sign of encouragement, and Wei Jingchang walked away, leaving Si Mingyu stunned in place.

To be honest, Si Mingyu was indeed moved.

Because of his background, because of his profession, because of his income and family situation, Si Mingyu never thought about starting a family before.

But now this woman, if she really said to Wei Jingchang, is the eldest lady of the first Liu family, of course, she will not care whether he has money or not, and his current position, as the third-level leadership under the chairman and committee members of the Military Commission, is of course worthy of a young lady from a family.

What's more, she is really beautiful, and she also takes good care of Si Mingyu, which makes him feel flattered.

Returning to the woman's side, Si Mingyu began to chat with her for a while with such intentions.

The woman's name is Liu Xinyi, which is a relatively common name in the family. Of course, it's not a member of the Zong family, a young lady who is not ranked in the family, and the family sent her here because the family sent her, probably to make someone take a fancy to her, and then use it as the object of marriage.

When she said this, Liu Xinyi's expression was very lonely, looking at Si Mingyu, she said, instead of being taken away by others, it is better for her to choose a soldier she likes and admires, otherwise one day, she will lose her future for the sake of her family.

Si Mingyu's heart was completely moved, and the two chatted at the banquet for a whole night, Liu Xinyi was a little drunk, Si Mingyu was a little drunk, and they told each other about their tragic childhood, which caused a harmonious resonance. In the end, Liu Xinyi brought back two glasses of wine, and the two of them drank together.

The banquet ended quickly, and Si Mingyu returned to the hotel where he lived, feeling hot and irritable. He thought it was because he drank too much wine, and when he met Liu Xinyi, his body was still excited, so he went to take a cold shower and wanted to lie down and rest.

But lying in bed, the heat became worse and worse, and he began to realize something.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Si Mingyu opened the door, but saw Liu Xinyi standing at the door, looked up at him, and threw himself into his arms.

He began to understand that all this was a conspiracy against himself, relying on the cultivation of the young master realm, he forcibly calmed down his almost vague mind under the influence of the drug, pushed away Liu Xinyi in his arms, slammed it on the floor, and ran out in what direction.

Blurring his vision, Si Mingyu didn't know how long he had been running, and finally couldn't hold on, found an unmanned utility room, and got into it, and then completely lost consciousness.

The morning news of the next day reported the news that the commander-in-chief of the Winter Melon Mecha Army raped a waitress in the utility room of the hotel.

Under the manipulation of some people behind him, Si Mingyu was dismissed from his post, and was even punished by the Military Commission for fighting the Military Commission to seek justice, confined to the imperial capital, and could never leave again. What's more, none of them allowed Si Mingyu to take his parents to his side.

In order to appease Si Mingyu's mood and corrupt Si Mingyu's thoughts, the imperial family began to fund Si Mingyu, and the Military Commission also raised his pension to an outrageous level.

Si Mingyu seems to have successfully turned into a person who is not enterprising and greedy for pleasure under their plan, but when his parents died, he applied to leave the imperial capital twice, and never went out again. Frequent places are also bars and clubs.

But they don't know that Si Mingyu has never given up on living his life. It's just that compared to the garrison who returned to Changshan in the East China Sea, Si Mingyu wanted to know who the waitress who came to the utility room to pick up something that night, but was forcibly manipulated by himself unconsciously.

No one will tell Si Mingyu, and the garrison will not reveal any information. What he was worried about was that the waitress didn't sue him, was it because those people from the family coerced her, would something happen to her?

He wants to take responsibility, which is an essential quality of a soldier.

As a result, it was clear that no matter how hard he tried to investigate and covertly visit, he could not find any news of that woman, and the family completely covered up the matter. Si Mingyu almost gave up, it seemed that he really sank, and he began to drink heavily and like to fight.

Suddenly, one day, just when he was about to get drunk, a person suddenly came to his side, sat on the seat of the bar, and told him that the waitress who was raped by him back then fled in order to escape the capture of the family, but in the end she still couldn't hide, and was finally persecuted to death.

However, the woman left him with a child.

Si Mingyu's wine woke up at once, and he raised his head suddenly, but he only saw the back of the other party leaving. Pulling out the money from his pocket and throwing it on the bar, he chased after the figure.

The back in front, although it walked very slowly, couldn't catch up no matter how much it caught up. Si Mingyu chased from the bar to the outside, and then chased down this street to another street, almost running out of collapse, but still chased after the person.

Sitting in a corner with no one in a dejected way, Si Mingyu was out of breath, laughed, laughed and laughed, and tears flowed.

Just as he was crying bitterly, something suddenly fell from the sky, and it happened to fall into Si Mingyu's arms. Si Mingyu subconsciously hugged this object, and it was soft for a while, he looked down and found that in his arms, a child wrapped in a quilt was lying.

The child opened his eyes, as if he was just over a year old, two small hands deepened, grabbed Si Mingyu's face, opened his small mouth, and called him with a smile: "Dad...... Father? ”

The news that Si Mingyu had picked up a child from outside spread in the upper circles of the imperial capital. But who cares about this man now?

After three years of self-depravity, the army of Changshan in the East China Sea has been re-controlled, even if he makes any more moths, what is the use?

They even thought that if they had a child, Si Mingyu might have completely become an ordinary housewife and man, and he would never have ambitions or dreams again. So they also helped Si Mingyu handle the child's household registration and adoption certificate, and increased the amount of pension.

The girl gradually grew up, and Si Mingyu also became an ordinary resident of the imperial capital as they thought, bought his own house in the Yilan Villa District, and raised the girl named Si Lanyi by himself until today.

Si Lanyi is nineteen years old, and Si Mingyu has also become a handsome old man of fifty years old, relying on the support of cultivation, still the same as when he was in his thirties, the two of them live in the Yilan villa area.

Then, Ann Xiaoyu came.

An Xiaoyu's visit made Si Lanyi a little surprised.

For many years, it seems that no one from the Si family has ever visited. She knew that Si Mingyu was her father, and she also knew that someone wanted to frame Si Mingyu back then, so she had her, and her mother died because of it. She has never resented anyone, she has never resented Si Mingyu, she has never resented her mother, and she has never even resented the Liu family.

She just felt that the relationship with Si Mingyu was indeed not like a mother and daughter.

Si Mingyu is a soldier, he has been engaged in military work since he was a teenager, and he is extremely talented. Human beings are like this, when God gives you a certain talent, it will inevitably occupy the storage area of other abilities.

So for as long as he can remember, Si Lanyi has been taking care of Si Mingyu's life.

Si Mingyu doesn't know how to do laundry or cook by himself, so even if he goes out to shop normally, he seems to have some difficulty in choosing. Therefore, Si Lanyi became the hostess of this family, all kinds of housework were done by her, and Si Mingyu's life was also arranged by her.

Of course, as a father, Si Mingyu does not do nothing.

He was in charge of digging out the money.

Every time she asked for money from Si Mingyu, Si Lanyi told herself that this was her father's compensation in exchange for her life's future, and she would be extra careful when she used it, and she remembered every account carefully.

Even sometimes when Si Mingyu went out to drink and forgot how much money she gave, she had to chase it to the bar to check the account, and then the nearby bars knew about it, and gradually they all began to take the initiative to send the bill to the Si family's family terminal.

Si Mingyu once asked Si Lanyi, obviously there is so much money, there is a surplus every month, and he has to calculate the accounts carefully, do you want to find fault by yourself?

Si Lanyi said, this is dirty money in exchange for your future, I can't help it now, I can only use it, and I can't stop you from using it, but one day, I will return it to those people with interest, telling these people that they can ruin your future, but they can't ruin your dignity.

After Si Mingyu heard it, he also mocked her, saying that fighting with the family was a matter of hitting a stone with an egg. Besides, what dignity does he have?

Although that is the case, Si Mingyu has never gone out to drink since then.

Later, Si Mingyu also seemed to have found an auxiliary teaching job in a cultivation hall, although he didn't earn much, but the expenses for the two of them were okay, counting the tuition fees of Si Lanyi University, the two of them lived in a luxurious villa and lived a simple life.

Later, the news blockade gradually ended, and no one looked at the things of the year anymore, Si Mingyu found the hotel that year, asked for the list of staff who had been registered in the electronic file, and downloaded the photo of Si Lanyi's mother.

After returning home, he said to Si Lanyi very happily: "Look, this is your mother, beautiful, right?" Just as beautiful as you are! ”

Si Lanyi looked at the beautiful woman on the terminal in surprise, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's so beautiful, it's cheap for you!" ”

The two of them laughed and laughed, and then cried.

Life has always been like this.

Junior high school, high school, college, and now she is in her sophomore year, with good academic performance, although it is not Three Thousand College, but she is also studying at a key university in the imperial capital, and she can find a pretty good job after graduation.

Si Lanyi's life is so simple, it seems that there are only two people in the whole world, she and Si Mingyu, no friends, no relatives, and of course no one has ever visited. Two people celebrate birthdays, two people celebrate holidays, and two people spend the summer when the refrigeration system is broken.

But at this time, An Xiaoyu came.

An Xiaoyu held a knife in her hand and pressed the doorbell of the Si family, and the moment Si Lanyi opened the door, she almost thought that those people back then wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and finally came to kill their father and daughter. She feigned composure and glanced at the beautiful girl in front of her.

"Hello, who are?"

An Xiaoyu looked at the knife in her hand, and then at Si Lanyi's expression, and instantly understood what she was nervous about, so she pointed to the villa behind her and said, "I just moved here, I should be staying for a long time, I feel that there are cultivators here, so I came to visit." ”

She had described all her pure curiosity as a courtesy among practitioners.

It is normal for practitioners to feel each other's presence. In ancient times and ancient times, practitioners looking for a new cave to cultivate, if they felt that there were other practitioners living in the vicinity, they would definitely visit their home to show their friendliness and courtesy.

If the other person or most of the people in the area agree with you to settle down, then congratulations, you can dig a cave and start moving. If they don't agree, of course, you can't just force them to occupy the territory, because they will be spurned by everyone in the cultivation world.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer old forests, and practicing in caves has become a thing of the past, but if you feel that there are other practitioners living around your new home, it is customary to show some friendliness and pay a visit.

Of course, Si Lanyi knew this rule, and when she heard An Xiaoyu say this, she also half-believed it, let An Xiaoyu into the room, and said, "You sit down first, and I'll call my dad." ”

An Xiaoyu put the knife on the coffee table, it was a black knife made by Ying Shen, which was a little different from the knife An Xiaoyu is using now, slightly thicker, and also a little angular, it looks hideous, it is used for experiments, An Xiaoyu is not easy to use, and it is just used to give it away.

Soon, Si Mingyu came downstairs, and when he heard that a cultivator had moved in recently, he was also a little nervous, for fear that it would be someone sent by the second Liu family.

An Xiaoyu raised her head, saw Si Mingyu's handsome old face, and said with a smile: "Si Mingyu? ”

Si Mingyu's body was tense for a while, and he stood at the top of the stairs and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The second home, An Xiaoyu."
