When the big hands grabbed his throat again, Xiao Fei used all his strength to break free from that terrifying force, he stared at the "Giant Dad" who emerged from the darkness and stood in front of him in a panic, and when the "Giant Dad" raised his thick palm again, he immediately shouted: "Don't hit me!" I'm not afraid of you anymore! ”

……

"Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei, are you okay? Xiao Fei? The call of the body calmed Xiao Fei, who was shouting with his eyes closed. Xiao Fei slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that rushed into his mind was-

"Great, it's a dream."

The second thought that rushed to my head was -

"Great, Sanping is here."

Sanping was wearing glasses, his hair was neatly tied up at the back of his head, and Xiao Fei subconsciously looked at the alarm clock next to the bed.

"It's past three o'clock in the morning, aren't you still sleeping?"

Sanping pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose, "I forgot the time when I read a book." Are you having nightmares? ”

Xiao Fei sat up, "Ah, I dreamed of my dad." ”

Sanping didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiao Fei smiled at Sanping, "I'm fine." ”

Sanping nodded, turned around and gently closed the door, and went back to his room.

Sanping returned to the room, sat back on the bed, and picked up the thoughts that had just been interrupted by Xiao Fei's shouting, but once the thoughts were interrupted, it was difficult to pick them up again. She had no choice but to put down her thoughts, books, and glasses, loosen her hair, turn off the small lamp in front of the bed, simply cover a thin quilt, and fall into a deep sleep.

Xiao Fei lay back on the bed, his eyes looking at the ceiling, and his mind was thinking about the painting competition he had talked about with Sanping at dinner.

He rolled over and could just see the view out the window. It was still pitch black outside the window, and there was no light at all. But for some reason, it seemed like all of a sudden, he wasn't as afraid of the darkness as he was before.

Sanping's face was calm, as if he was listening to another trivial little thing Xiao Fei said. But only Xiao Fei knew that his legs began to tremble slightly again.

He decided to take a gamble anyway.

"Come back early after school this afternoon, and I'll take you to a mother-in-law's house I know for dinner." After Sanping put down the phone, he took the freshly heated bread and milk and put them in front of Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei wore a school uniform and carried a schoolbag. He nodded, drank the milk quickly, picked up the bread, and turned to walk towards the door.

When Sanping wanted to say something to Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei had already closed the door. There was a sudden silence in the house.

Sanping looked around at the house where she was the only one left, and suddenly felt at a loss for this kind of leisure. Far away from the intense rehearsals and performances, away from the stage and the music, away from the crowds and cheers, she felt at a loss for what to do.

During the time when he fell in love with Yonghe, when Sanping had no performance tasks and stayed at home with nothing to do, Yonghe came out of the study with an empty water cup, passed by the living room, and saw Sanping, who neither surfed the Internet nor practiced the piano, but just sat on the sofa and looked at the trees in the yard, "Why don't you find something to do?" ”

"Do what?"

"Do what you love."

Sanping turned his head and looked at Yonghe who was standing behind him, "But I really don't know what to do......"

Yonghe held the water glass that had been filled with one hand, and took a coat on the back of the chair with the other, and threw it to Sanping, "Then you wear an extra piece of clothing, don't get cold." ”

He walked over and sat next to Sanping, who leaned on him, "You say, if I put the violin down, I really can't find anything else to do?" ”

Yonghe didn't speak, he followed Sanping's gaze and looked at the blue sky above his head.

"I'm a little scared." Sanping said.

"Don't be afraid." Yonghe reached out and hugged her tightly, "I'll go with you to find things you really like to do other than the violin." ”

"Even," Yonghe said, "why don't you just stop playing the violin, it's better to be a vagrant than to do something you don't like, right?" ”

"My dad wasn't allowed to beat me to death. He doesn't like me to be idle. ”

"What do you care about your dad?" Yonghe smiled, "He has his own life, you have your own." Do you know what the two of you should do right now? Sanping looked at him and didn't speak. He withdrew his gaze, turned back to Sanping and smiled, "He should learn to put it down, you should learn to pick it up." ”

Fathers need to let go of their obsession with controlling other people's lives, and daughters need to regain the right to live independently.

Sanpei went to the room and saw the violin that was placed on the bookshelf. She slowly walked to the bookshelf, raised her hand, and gently stroked the body with her fingers. She couldn't tell what she was feeling about it. Sometimes, she hates it; But sometimes, she had to rely on it. Her current fame, status, and glory are all brought by this piano. This also made her more and more unable to see the road in front of her. When she's in a misty forest, if she holds a piano in her hand – will it take her through the fog? If she put the piano down—alone, would she still be able to discern the way ahead?

If it weren't for Moritaira's strong arrangement of the violin into her life—if she had spontaneously liked it, she probably wouldn't have this ambivalence now.

She hated the skill she needed for a living.

Escaped from the room, and also escaped from the house. There were too many things to bear, so she had to escape.

She came to the bookstore, held up her mobile phone, and compared the pictures sent by Lu Yi on the mobile phone with the dazzling array of painting tools on the shelves. Soon, she found the set of painting tools on the picture of Luyi. She quickly said "Thank you for inviting you to dinner later" into the phone, then put the phone in her pocket, then took the set of drawing tools and walked straight to the checkout.

Even though Xiao Fei asked her to stop worrying about his affairs, Sanping felt that if he really made up his mind not to let her into his life, he would not tell her what he wanted. Now that he told her, she had to have the ability to catch it—she did, and she wasn't going to hide it.

In this life, what to let go, what to pick up, and what to choose again requires not only courage, but also a more valuable quality - honesty.

As soon as Xiao Fei and Sanping arrived downstairs at Granny Yu's house, they heard Granny Yu's cheerful voice coming from upstairs. They looked up at the sound and just saw Granny Yu poking her head out of her balcony and waving at them with a smile. Sanping also responded with a smile and pulled Xiao Fei upstairs.

It was Principal Yu who opened the door. When Xiao Fei saw Yu Yun standing at the door, he was a little surprised, "Why are you there?" ”

Yu Yun smiled, "This is my parents' home, it's not strange that I'm here, right?" ”

Xiao Fei shrugged. Granny Yu came over, "It's not strange that you're here, it's strange that you're here by yourself." I don't know how old I am to find a girlfriend, and I don't know what to worry about being a parent. ”

"What are you worried about, what are you worried about?" After Yu Yun let Sanping and Xiao Fei in, he put his arm around Granny Yu's shoulders and said affectionately, "My son still wants to accompany you more." Once I find a girlfriend, I don't have time to spend with you, how bad it is. ”

"I won't tell you." Granny Yu ignored Yu Yun, and said to Xiao Fei with a smile, "You are Xiao Fei, right?" Sanping told me about you. I'm Granny Yu, and I'm a good friend of Sanping. ”

Xiao Fei nodded, and obediently handed over the bag of fruit he had just bought downstairs in his hand. Yu Yun took it.

"Don't stand still. Let's go eat! Uncle Yu is still traveling outside and hasn't come back yet. Let's eat first, eat first! Granny Yu gently patted Xiao Fei's shoulder and said happily.

"Today's meal was all done by himself." Granny Yu patted Yu Yun, who was sitting beside her, and couldn't hide the pride on her face, "I just went out in the morning to buy vegetables, and he did it all when he came back from work early." It's really too much trouble. ”

Sanping looked at the table full of dishes in front of her, she was really embarrassed, but she really didn't know how to greet her, so she could only laugh.

It was Xiao Fei, who had already picked up the chopsticks, "I didn't expect to be able to eat the meal made by Principal Yu today." You'll have to write it down in a journal. ”

Principal Yu looked at him with a smile.

Granny Yu gave Sanping a bowl of soup, Sanping was startled, saying that it was soup, but in fact, the bowl was full of meat, and there was not much soup. Granny Yu looked at Sanping a little distressed, "You eat this bowl first, and then serve you soup after eating." You have to eat more, it's too thin. ”

Yu Yun waited for Sanping to eat all the meat in the bowl, naturally stretched out his hand, took the bowl away, and got up to scoop the soup for her.

It is a casual home-cooked meal, but also an unpretentious caring and considerate. After coming out of the Yu family, Sanping and Xiao Fei didn't speak, and walked silently on the way home.

"There are still good people." Xiao Fei held back such a sentence for a long time.

Sanping heard this and couldn't help but say, "I'm not a good person?" ”

Xiao Fei snorted and laughed, "It's not that good, but it's okay." ”

Sanping took out the painting set he bought in the afternoon from his bag and handed it to Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei subconsciously took it, and after seeing what it was through the street lamp, he was stunned.

"That, come on." Sanping was a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Fei hugged the painting set tightly and did not speak.

He saw that their home had appeared in front of the road. He wanted to run home immediately, go back to his room, and open the suit.

It was only at this time that he realized that there was also a place in this world where he could go back.
