Chapter 49: Father and Son
"No, it's not safe outside." Ji Wenying decisively rejected Lotte's proposal.
Lotte didn't insist, and asked her for a photo of her father to identify someone in advance, Ji Wenying didn't object, and called up a number of family photos to introduce to him: father, grandparents, great-grandfather and great-grandmother, uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle, sixth aunt, seventh uncle, eighth uncle, ninth uncle...... There is also a great-grandfather and great-grandmother who are said to live in seclusion.
Le Yu listened to it next to him, there are so many people in this family, what was introduced just now is still a direct line, not to mention that there are many side branches that are divided, Xiao Lotte was dizzy, I didn't expect that there are so many people in my father's family, he has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, where have I seen any relatives, and the little head is trying to digest it.
Fortunately, he is the eldest grandson of the new generation of the Ji family, and he will be a proper big brother in the future, imagining the spectacular scene of leading a group of younger brothers, Lotte is so beautiful that he doesn't want it, as for his sister, he doesn't like pestering and crying species!
It is said that Ji Wenjin is not resting well, on the one hand, there is a picture of the tragic death of his best brother, and on the other hand, there is a happy picture of a lively and lovely son affectionately calling him father, the two dreams are intertwined with each other, and the two feelings of pain and self-blame and happiness tear each other apart, making him unable to live in peace.
He simply got up and stopped this terrible nightmare, his destroyer "Gravity" continued to patrol the edge of the Federation after a short rest, this area is often infested with star thieves to rob merchant ships, after a few days of tracking and hibernation yesterday finally succeeded in shooting down a star thief interceptor. In the past few years, he has commanded this ship, almost all over the edge of the unmodified galaxy of the Federation Empire, and has never even returned home, the barren planet is like his closed heart, so calm that there is not a single ripple, and he has gradually fallen in love with this peace. As a soldier, he had asked his father to go to war, but his father did not answer on the grounds that he was not ready to face the sudden death.
Just yesterday, this calm was suddenly broken, like a stone being thrown on the water, setting off a wave, this change made him at a loss, reason told him that he had to let go of the past and welcome a new life, but every time he made a decision, the guilt and pain in his heart hit him, and a voice in his head told him that he did not deserve a new life.
He knew that in order for him to accept his son with ease, he had to overcome the fears and shadows of his past, and he could no longer let himself run away from his son. So, for the first time, he ordered the fleet to stop advancing, and docked in a safe and hidden place nearby, he locked himself in his room, and forced himself to endure the pain to play his and his two brothers' past experiences slowly in the form of projections, whenever he wanted to escape, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to force himself to watch, to recall that they studied together, traveled together, participated in competitions together, and entered the army together to experience life...... When the picture freezes on their young bodies lying in a pool of blood to protect him, he can no longer hold back his tears, venting his pain of losing them over the years, and his thoughts about them.
His father said that he was unfortunate that the first time he faced death at close range was not on the front line, but on the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder could not be seen, his heart was not baptized, and he was shattered before going to the battlefield, but as long as he had the courage to break out of the cocoon and face the pain, he could really have a strong heart and face life and death calmly.
Almost roaring, as if freed from some kind of shackles, bathed in the golden light of an unknown star, he thought, he realized the meaning of his father's words, and this desolate frontier was no longer dead in his eyes, but full of hope and new life. couldn't help it, took the initiative to share this joy with his father, looking at the tears of relief flashing in his father's eyes, who had always been calm, he knew that he had done it!
Thinking of the son who also longed for his father in the distance, he no longer hesitated, and decisively sent a message to apply for a connection, the second sister's reply was a photo of the little guy staring intently at a tachyon arrow, he repeatedly looked at the little guy's serious appearance, like when he was a child, for this child who accidentally broke into his life, he did not give birth to resistance, his cuteness, his intelligence, his naughtiness, his seriousness, is so vivid, like a ray of sunshine illuminates the loneliness in his heart, and he can't wait to see him.
At ten o'clock in the morning, I returned to the hotel, and I couldn't wait to sit on the sofa and get a haircut, and then solemnly used my light brain to apply for the connection to the contact number of my father, and then stared at the screen with wide eyes and anticipation, and in less than two seconds, the communication was connected, and the child finally saw the projection of his father who was far away at the border, and exclaimed without thinking:
"Dad, I'm Lotte!"
"Xiaotian, hello, I'm Dad!" The answer was Ji Wenjin's calm voice, and if you listen carefully, it is not difficult to notice the excitement in the voice.
"Daddy, I've finally seen you!" He is also a child with a father like Doudou, the child's eyes are red, and he still has a lot to say, so he can't cry.
"Daddy is glad to see you, too!" Looking at the small lump nested on the sofa opposite, Ji Wenjin's heart was incredibly soft.
"Really? Dad, do you like me? The child asked the question he wanted to ask the most, and then looked at the projection on the opposite side with an expectant expression.
Due to his education since childhood, Ji Wenjin is not used to expressing his emotions directly, but in order not to disappoint his son, he hesitated for a moment and affirmed: "Of course I like it!" ”
Dad likes him, this recognition makes the child's face smile, and the worried heart falls to the ground, Le Yu and Ji Wenying, who were watching from the side throughout the whole process, were moved by the recognition of the father and son, especially Le Yu, she didn't expect her son to have such a deep desire for his father in his heart, on weekdays, he showed that he could be a general with his father, and he could go to the Big Dipper Primary School through the back door with his father, it seemed that the role of his father was just an accessory to realize his wishes, and she almost believed it, fortunately, the day they recognized each other was not too late.
Receiving a full sense of security from the father, the child's courage was let go and the conversation was opened.
"Dad, my aunt gave me a tachyon arrow today, it's amazing, look!" The child wears the ring-shaped particle arrow on his wrist and shows it to his father.
"Well, yes, faster-than-light weapons are already rare in the market." Ji Wenjin commented pertinently.
"It's a pity that it can only be used once, and I can't try the effect, Dad, I want to dismantle it, but its structure is too complicated, I'm afraid I can't restore it." The child was a little entangled, asking for his father's opinion, in his opinion, such a valuable thing, his mother must not agree, maybe it is another meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.
Ji Wenjin replied without thinking about it: "If you want to dismantle it, you can dismantle it, if it's broken, Dad will give you a better one." ”
"Really? Thank you Dad! "Lotte's love for his dad has deepened again.
Tyrants! Le Yu was dumbfounded, while Ji Wenying was very speechless, and another conniving child!
