Chapter 14: Flaws
Wang You and his father are also gone now.
However, this time, it was Qin Taotian himself who asked them to go first.
Qin Taotian called Wang You's father "Lao Wang", unlike others who politely called them by their names; called Wang You "Little Youyou", just like an elder who was already very familiar. Obviously, the relationship between the two families is extraordinary.
When Wang You left, he took the initiative to ask for my contact information. He smiled and said, "I have a hunch that we will definitely become good friends." β
I also had a good impression of this person, so I gave him my mobile phone number.
Then, Qin Taotian didn't let me go, and he asked me to help carry his daughter back to the room.
Well, for the sake of your dozens of years old, this kind of hard work is really not easy to do, I can only help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west.
But in fact, Qin Ziyao looks like one meter seven, and she is not very thin, but she is fluttering and easy to hold.
I took her princess in my arms, and she was as well-behaved as a kitten, with her head resting gently on my shoulder.
However, it was a bit tiring to walk from the grass to the villa and go up to the third floor. I was sweating a lot and my arms were a little weak.
Qin Ziyao's room faces east, the window is large, facing the mountains, and when he gets up in the morning, he should be able to see the first rays of morning sunlight from here.
The room was exquisite, cosy, tasteful and ...... Comfortable, but the most obvious feature is the fragrance.
I've never seen a room so fragrant.
But in fact, the fragrance is not particularly strong, but ...... How so? Anyway, it's like being in a sea of flowers, which makes people intoxicated and their hearts shake.
I suddenly remembered that the girl named Xiangxiang said that the old ghost who let her go to Guo Tingting's body has a very special fragrance, as long as I meet it, I will immediately understand. I don't quite understand what she meant, the fragrance she said shouldn't be like this, right?
I gently put Qin Ziyao on the bed.
Her bed was so soft that when she lay down, she sank down a lot.
Qin Chaotian pulled the quilt over and covered his daughter very carefully. Seeing his loving appearance, if you want to say that he is a demon king who kills people without blinking, I don't believe it when he is killed.
Qin Ziyao took my hand and didn't let me go.
She looked so weak, so helpless.
I couldn't bear to pull my hand out of her hand and said softly, "I'm not leaving." β
Qin Ziyao smiled with satisfaction.
Qin Taotian sat down on the edge of the bed, carefully combed the messy hair on his daughter's face, and said infinitely distressed: "When Ziyao was seven or eight years old, she had this strange disease, and she couldn't cure it by looking for many doctors, and she couldn't even find out what the cause was. You've also seen that it happens to have a seizure for no apparent reason, and there is no pattern at all, and it is really painful when it happens. If anyone can cure Ziyao's disease, even if he gives him all my family wealth, even if he wants my old life, I will immediately agree to him without hesitation. β
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world." I say.
"What's the most painful thing in life, you know?" Qin Taotian smiled helplessly, "That's the feeling of watching the person you love suffer, but you can't do anything about it." Ziyao's mother died when she was three years old, and although I could give her the best clothes, the best food, and the best, I couldn't give her a complete home, and now I can only watch her suffer......"
His voice was choked, he couldn't go on, and his eyes were full of tears.
"Dad, I'm fine, really." Qin Ziyao burst into tears, and said with a reluctant smile, "It's enough for me to have you hurt me." β
I nodded, understanding his feelings. But I wondered why he was saying this to my face.
Qin Taotian continued: "Ziyao also had some friends before, but since she got this disease, all of them have been scared away. Others say she is arrogant, that she is unattainable, in fact, she is afraid to interact with others, afraid that others will laugh at her, she is actually really lonely, and she has no ...... friends"
Qin Ziyao interrupted his father's words and said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, don't say it, you see it's almost twelve o'clock, and I haven't eaten the cake yet." β
"Yes, yes," Qin Taotian patted his head and immediately said, "You see I'm all confused, it's rare for someone to eat cake with you today......
said that he hurriedly ran to the door and shouted, "Xiaomei, bring the cake." β
A female voice downstairs said yes crisply.
The pendulum clock by the door showed the time at eleven fifty.
Three minutes later, a little girl with long braids came in with a box of cakes. She first placed the cake on a counter, then pushed it over a wall lazy table. It was a simple shelf, standing beside the bed, but with a board sticking out horizontally to the bed.
Mei put the cake on the board and opened it.
11:56 a.m.
Qin Ziyao finally let go of my hand, sat up from the bed, and sat cross-legged in front of the cake.
Xiaomei still wanted to light the candle, but Qin Ziyao said: "No need, I don't have to make a wish, because my birthday wish has come true." By the way, you go under the grape trellis and take a look, there is a handful of yellow roses, you put it away for me. β
Xiaomei agreed and went.
"Ziyao, what birthday wish of yours has come true?" Qin asked strangely.
Qin Ziyao looked at me and said, "My wish is...... Somebody had a birthday cake with me. β
Well, eating cake is a trifle, please don't make me sing a birthday song. I don't know why, but I always think it's silly to sing birthday songs.
Fortunately, Qin Ziyao did not ask for this, and Qin Taotian did not take the initiative to sing, it is estimated that this matter is also a very embarrassing thing for him, an old man.
At eleven :59, Qin Ziyao began to cut the cake with a smile.
I took a step back and asked Qin Taotian to sit down and come forward to help.
The heads of the father and daughter came together.
I watched from the sidelines, and this picture was really funny: a smooth bald head, a black and oily hair, all together, it was hard not to laugh.
"Whenβ" The pendulum clock made a crisp sound, twelve o'clock.
At that moment, I was shocked to find something!
The lifespan shown on Qin Taotian and Qin Ziyao's heads!
Under normal circumstances, the lifespan displayed on the top of a person's head can be simply said to be a countdown timer. With the passage of time, the life span of a person also passes, and the number on the timer will decrease by second, which is very smooth. Even in the last few seconds of life, it is not impatient, it decreases second by second, until it becomes zero and life ends.
But at the moment when the bell rang at twelve o'clock, I actually saw that the numbers above Qin Taotian and Qin Ziyao's heads flashed!
No, to be precise, there should be a pause for one second, that is, a certain number, shown twice!
Both of them!
This...... What's going on?
I thought my eyes were spent, so I rubbed my eyes and continued to look, and their father and daughter's heads showed normal again, and they were unhurried and smoothly decreased second by second.
No, I'm sure I really saw it clearly just now, and the lifespans of the two of them paused for a second, and they couldn't be wrong!
I was completely blown away!
This...... How is this possible?
Could it be that there is something wrong with this lifespan display?!
At that moment, I felt that these two fathers and daughters were so weird!
"What are you doing there?" Qin Ziyao said to me angrily, "Come and eat the cake." β
"Oh, oh, eat cake, eat cake." I haven't recovered from the shock yet, panicked.
Qin Taotian also noticed my abnormality, frowned and asked, "Little knife, what's wrong with you?" β
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."
No, be calm, calm down! If I'm so flustered, I'm going to make a mistake.
"I'm wondering how I'm going to get back in a while, hehe." It's not a very clever excuse, but I can't think of anything else.
"What are you afraid of, I'll send you back." Qin Ziyao said.
"Don't you? Your body hasn't recovered yet, get some rest. Qin Taotian said worriedly, "Just let him drive a car back by himself." β
"I don't, I'm going to send him." Qin Ziyao said stubbornly.
I smiled wryly and said, "I can't do it if I don't want to trouble Miss Qin this time, I don't have a driver's license yet." β
Qin Ziyao cheered and jumped up from the bed.
