Seeing that Meimei was sleeping soundly, Bishenghua stuffed Meimei into Aoki's arms and said, "You hold her, I still have to cook." ”

Aoki said, "There aren't many people, so it's good to do a few." ”

"Yes." Bishenghua promised to go to work.

It was almost noon, and Bi Shenghua said that the food was ready, and asked Aoki if he could start the meal. Aoki woke Meimei up and said it was time to eat. The first thing Meimei said when she woke up was, "Godfather, have you seen my father?" Seeing Aoki shake her head, she looked a little disappointed. He asked again: "Godfather, have you seen the mirror?" ”

Aoki nodded, remembering the flowing curtain of light that lit up in the void.

Meimei became happy and asked, "Then what do you look like when you see yourself in the mirror?" ”

Aoki asked rhetorically, "Meimei said first." ”

Meimei said: "I saw myself like a butterfly, with a pair of very beautiful wings! ”

Aoki praised, "Meimei is the most beautiful." ”

Meimei smiled a little embarrassedly, revealing her milky white teeth.

At this time, Bi Shenghua called him for help, so he went to load the food into the dining car with Bi Shenghua and sent it to Xia Xiaoxiao's room. Meimei followed them and forgot about the question just now. She didn't ask, and Aoki didn't say anything, he stood in front of the flowing mirror, and the crow stood above him. The crow in the mirror was still a crow, and he didn't see anything, as if he didn't exist at all.

Xia Xiaoxiao hurriedly came over to help Aoki and Bi Shenghua put the dishes on the dining car on the table. Xia Wenyuan was still unmoved, but the complexion on his face was much better than when he came, showing how important mood was to the old man's body. Wu Lixia is even more full of happy smiles on her face, and only the corners of her eyes can see the traces left after the tears have dried. When she saw Meimei, she hurriedly went up and hugged her, hugged and kissed, and was so happy that she even said, "My good granddaughter!" ”

Xia Wenyuan also said: "Don't call grandparents at all, just grandparents." ”

Meimei looked at her mother, and when she saw her mother nodding, she obediently called her grandparents, and after calling her, she said, "Mom, Mom, I just recognized my godfather and godmother." As he spoke, he pointed to Aoki and Lifelong Flowers. Aoki Yun was light and breezy, but the face of the lifelong flower turned red.

Xia Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and smiled: "If you recognize your godfather and godmother, you have to ask your grandparents for permission." ”

Meimei asked: "Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Aoki is my godfather, and Aunt Hua is my godmother, do you agree?" ”

Xia Wenyuan and Wu Lixia had already heard what Xia Xiaoxiao said, let Aoki Shumeimei be a goddaughter, and when the little girl said it at this time, of course they readily agreed, but they muttered in their hearts that a godmother came out of nowhere. Afterwards, Wu Lixia sighed vigorously with Xia Wenyuan: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!" Xia Wenyuan disagreed, and said: "No one can say anything about young people, what are you talking about!" ”

During the meal, Bi Shenghua asked: "We have been screaming beautifully, beautifully, and I don't know what the child's name is?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao said: "She has an English name called Alice, and she has been living abroad before, so she can use it conveniently. My family has always been called Meimei, and I haven't taken a big name in Chinese, but now that I'm back, I should take one. ”

She said and looked at Xia Wenyuan.

Xia Wenyuan said: "Since you recognize your godfather, let your godfather take it." ”

Everyone looked at Aoki.

Aoki remembered Mimi's strange performance in the dream, and said, "Let's call it 'First Enlightenment.'" ”

Xia Wenyuan touched the name carefully: "The first awakening of summer, the singing of summer cicadas is like a dream, and the first awakening is good!" What a name! ”

So the final word was decided, and Meimei's name was decided from then on.

At night, Aoki drove Xia Wenyuan and Wu Lixia back to Xiafu. In order not to arouse suspicion, Xia Chujue first followed Bishenghua home, lived in Liuying Lane for a few days, and then was sent to Xia's house by Aoki. As for how Xia Wenyuan explained to the family that there was suddenly more granddaughter, it was Xia Wenyuan's business, and Aoki didn't bother to care, anyway, the little girl was very well-behaved, and even in her dreams, she could not dream of her parents because of Situ's explanation, and it was impossible for others to get something out of her mouth, and with Xia Wenyuan's presence, her safety could be guaranteed.

Since then, Aoki's studio has become a nursery every once in a while, and Hu Xing has become the nursery pick-up and drop-off, and every time she brings Summer, Xia Chujue and Poppy to come. Hu Xing also asked Aoki about Meimei at the beginning, trying to find out from him some of the words that Old Man Xia refused to show, but since she heard Xia Chujue call Aoki Godfather, call Bishenghua Godmother, and she was just a sister, she was unhappy in her heart, and she simply didn't bother to ask anything.

As soon as the nursery opened, in addition to Hu Xing, the pick-up and drop-off, Bi Shenghua was naturally the busiest person, buying vegetables and cooking was her business, and she also had to take care of the opening of the bar. Sometimes Yao Jingjing also came to help. When she came, the flowers of her life were a little easier. But the three children are lively, Xia Chujue called his lifelong flower godmother, Yu Mei and Yao Jingjing are the closest, and Xia naturally supports his old sister Hu Xing, so the three children began to argue about the problems of adults, so they went to ask Aoki: If you want to worship the church and get married, who will you choose?

Aoki was annoyed by the children's troubles, so he went to the community's psychological counseling room to hide. When Director Liu of the community saw that he was so diligent, he gave him a sign of outstanding volunteer workers in the community.

When it was time for school to start, through the relationship of the Xia family, several children were sent to a private school together. Licensed counselors from the community also came to work. The renovation of the new bar is in the final stages, and only some soft furnishings remain. Bi Shenghua, Xiao Qi, and Mo Yu are all busy with the opening, and Aoki has finally been quiet so far, with neither the sound of knocking during the decoration, nor the noise of the children, let alone the residents of several communities who come to do psychological counseling at every turn.

He lay quietly on the new sofa of his Shenwu studio, which had been redecorated with lifelong flowers, enjoying a rare leisure in the past month or two.

After Xia Xiaoxiao left, he didn't know where he went, and he never heard about Situ again. Professor Mei and the space box they developed are said to have made a breakthrough in hardware, and the software is also in full swing. Yao's mother's surgery has been completed, but she is still in the immunosuppressive stage, and it is estimated that it will take several months to fully recover. The shadow in Xia Wenyuan's dream did not come out again, and Hong Kui, who was far away in North America, also came with news that his father was doing as usual, and his condition had not deteriorated.

Everything seemed so calm, so calm that it felt unreal.

However, Aoki knew very well that calm was only a façade, and that the real danger was brewing nowhere. Like at this moment, when you are lying on the couch watching TV while peeling fruit, the super typhoon named after the fruit is raging in the south.

Aoki knew that a big war without gunpowder was about to begin. And he doesn't know what role he will play in this big war.

He looked at the crow standing on the bird rack and said, "If you think about it, what has happened in the past two months is really a lot!" ”

The raven said, "Congratulations! ”

Aoki Qi said: "What is there to congratulate when there are many things? ”

The crow said, "Your mind is getting clearer and clearer, and you are glad to congratulate you." ”
