For the next period of time, James was recuperating from his injury, Yuezi was adjusting, Yuhui was silently playing the puppeteer in the hall, Fréxiu was dozing off on the sofa, and Xu Bin was sitting in the corner crampedly, and everyone was temporarily at peace. But I was nervous, because I knew that I had killed someone today, and I was afraid that sooner or later the police would come to my door.

But to my consternation, no police came to visit me or called my cell phone until the evening, and I wondered if the police had forgotten that I existed.

It wasn't until late in the evening that the police came to the door, and I was even prepared for it, because I knew that I had killed someone, and I was afraid that I would not escape. But what stunned me was that the captain of the criminal police who came to the door did not mean to arrest me, but greeted me warmly as soon as he came, asked me how I was doing, and then told me that Zhang Muyi's body had been found by them. It seems that there was a split within the kidnapper group because of the uneven distribution of interests, or it was targeted by other underworld groups and there was a fight, as a result, Zhang Muyi was killed by a mysterious person wearing a diving suit with explosives, and the hostages he kidnapped also took the opportunity to escape during the fight, and Zhang Muyi's other accomplices are now on the run, and those fugitives have prepared cars and fled quickly, although the police have expanded the scope of the search, but they have not been found for the time being. It's a pity that before that, Zhang Muyi forced the police to release Wang Bin from prison by sending the hostage photos and videos to the police station, so now that Wang Bin has been released from prison and is on the run, let me be careful.

Obviously, the police didn't know that Zhang Muyi kidnapped me before I was confined and Xueqi, at that time I had to smile dryly and say I knew, and then thanked the captain of the criminal police, and asked him if he wanted to stay for dinner, but the captain of the criminal police refused, he said that he just passed by my area to come to see my situation, and now the fugitive is running away, he is also very busy and can't have time, so he left in a hurry.

Looking at the figure of the criminal police captain leaving, I couldn't help but feel a little lucky, fortunately, I wore a diving suit and diving goggles today, even if passers-by witnessed me, I couldn't recognize me, which allowed me to escape. But in my heart, I began to pray that those Zhang Muyi's accomplices would escape safely, after all, the farther they escaped, the less likely I was to be suspected by the police......

To be honest, I'm really conflicted.

For a moment, it was as if everything had come back to square one.

My life seems to have come out of a thrilling shootout movie, and I have suddenly returned to an ordinary state.

This huge gap gives me an extreme sense of unreality.

Obviously, he killed people in the morning, loaded guns and ammunition, and walked on the edge of life and death several times, but when we gathered at home for dinner in the evening, watching the news on TV and glad that Zhang Muyi was killed, and the news that Zhang Muyi's gang was scattered, it was as if we were watching the lives of other people, and it had nothing to do with us.

Life is sometimes so wonderful, when you are in the middle of an adventure, you will feel that everything is terrible, and even feel that you are on a roller coaster, and the next second the roller coaster will get out of control and derail, and you will fall into a meatloaf, but when everything is over, you will suddenly find that everything is just like this, everything is so ordinary......

What this world is really filled with is not the exciting adventures that are on the verge of life and death every day, but just the laughter at the dinner table and the chirping of crickets outside the window.

Ordinary world.

This is the ordinary world.

Even if it looks like a tense and exciting fantasy world, what about the science fiction world, and when everything is over, won't it finally return to the ordinary? In this sense, every world is an ordinary world.

Xue Qi woke up, it was already after dinner, in order not to worry Xu Bin's parents, Xu Bin was escorted away by James after dinner, and Yuezi and Yuhui were resting in the same bedroom, there must be a lot of topics between these two equally excellent women.

And me?

First, I hid the book James had returned to me and hid it in an underground warehouse. That's the warehouse I used to hide Xueqi when I first picked her up. It's hard to find that place, so it's better to store books.

After that, I have been waiting in Xueqi's bedroom, sitting on the edge of Xueqi's bed, quietly watching her sleep, watching her little tender nose with the agitation of her breasts, and my mood has calmed down, as if everything that happened in the morning was just a long nightmare.

Then, as if sensing my gaze, Xueqi's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and the hair on her lips slid down.

She gently opened her misty eyes and woke up.

I looked at Xueqi, and Xueqi looked at me.

The two of us stared at each other in the dimly lit room, and for a moment, neither of us spoke.

I don't know how to speak, after all, I used to do that kind of thing to Xueqi, I don't know what kind of thoughts Xueqi holds about me now, I think I'm a perverted father, an incompetent father, a demon? I don't really know.

I don't know how to position Xueqi. After going through so many things, I found that the relationship between me and Xueqi has also become complicated, and the relationship between me and her is not so vaguely defined, and now, it is even more hazy.

For the first time, I was a little afraid to look directly into Xueqi's eyes.

Obviously, in the past, it was all the other way around.

In the end, it was Xue Qi who opened her mouth.

"Daddy......" she looked at me, her voice very soft.

"Well, how's it going, are you getting better?" I looked at Xue Qi and asked.

"Daddy...... Am I dreaming...... I seem to have dreamed that you rushed to the man who captured me to save me......" Xue Qi said with a faint frown, "That's true, right?" I don't remember ......."

According to James, the kidnappers used anesthetics on both Confinement and Xueqi, especially Xueqi, who was not as good as Confinement and was caught early, so the anesthetics were very deep and she didn't wake up until now.

"Did those people do anything to you?" I looked at Xue Qi and asked word by word.

Xue Qi lowered her head, and then shook violently, she seemed to be trying to remember, but in the end, she didn't seem to think about it.

"I—I don't really know...... They covered my face with a cloth to prevent me from looking at things, and also gave me a wet cloth that smelled very choking, as soon as I smelled that thing, I was dizzy and wanted to sleep......" Xue Qi said, suddenly squinting her eyes and coughing quietly, "Those people said to me, Dad, you owe them a lot of money, that's why they want to arrest me and let me cooperate with them, but I don't think it's like it, they are lying to me, they want to hurt you, Dad...... They're like criminals. ”

Xue Qi didn't know anything about God's game at all, and all she could think of was the possibility of this.

I swallowed and listened quietly to Xueqi, because I didn't know what excuse to answer Xueqi for a while.

"Daddy, aren't you...... Offended someone outside? Xue Qi lowered her voice and asked me tentatively, "Since Sister Yuezi, James, and Frexiu came, I always felt that Dad, you seem to have changed as a person, and you seem to be preoccupied, and you don't go to the company anymore, Dad...... You've offended people out there, haven't you? Isn't it serious? You were in front of Xiaolong that day...... Kiss me, and say that kind of excessive words, it's also intentional, right? Is it to deliberately anger me and not let those people tie me up and beat me, right? You weren't like that before, Dad......"

Hearing Xue Qi's last words, I was finally completely shocked, Xue Qi's words had exceeded my expectations, and I didn't expect her to understand in this direction. Xue Qi actually thought that I kissed her in front of Ma Bailong that day, and said that kind of thing to deliberately drive her away and prevent her from being kidnapped by the kidnappers. It's so self-defeating, I can't even laugh or cry myself. But from another point of view, from Xueqi's standpoint, this is the easiest situation to understand.

Dad offended the bad guys outside, was targeted by the bad guys, and he might be kidnapped, so for his own safety, Dad deliberately drove himself away and let himself stay at someone else's house...... Such an idea is the most reasonable explanation for this series of incomprehensible events. Of course, I know that Xue Qi is not really a fool, she can still think of something wrong, the reason why she asked me this, in fact, is that she hopes that the truth of the matter is like this, she hopes that what she says is the answer, not that I really did something so excessive to her out of my heart.

I...... How to answer her?

Looking at Xue Qi's expectant eyes, I finally smiled slowly:

"You can still see it...... I'm sorry, Qiqi, Dad lied to you......"

When I said this, I felt that something heavy in my heart that had been hanging suddenly fell to the ground.

"I knew ......" Xue Qi smiled a little reluctantly, she grabbed my hand with her warm and soft little hand, because of a little fever, Xue Qi's palm was a little hot, and the already soft skin on my hand made me feel as if I was holding a piece of freshly burned rice crackers.

Xue Qi's face turned slightly cloudy, she retracted her hand, bit her lip with her teeth, and said as if she had something on her mind: "Dad, actually...... There's something wrong with me too. I lied to you too, I should have told you the truth sooner...... Daddy......"

I looked at Xue Qi a little strangely, but I suddenly felt uneasy in my heart, and I asked:

"Fooled me? What did you lie to me? ”

Xue Qi was a little afraid to look me in the eyes, every time I saw Xue Qi's expression, I knew that nothing good would happen, so I subconsciously swallowed my saliva.

Xue Qi lowered her head and whispered:

"Actually...... On the National Day, Ma Bailong and I both received pre-admission letters from Harvard University's Department of Publishing and Media......"

Hearing Xue Qi's words, my heart trembled.

"A letter of acceptance from Harvard University?" My voice has changed a little.

"Hmm...... In fact, it's just a pre-admission letter...... "Xue Qi got up from the bed, she took out a red envelope from the bedside table, and handed it to me with some concern, I looked at it, it really said the name of Harvard University in English, although I don't know many English words, but the name of Harvard University can still be understood.

I held the admission letter handed to me by Xueqi in my hand, and I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I looked at Xueqi and asked, "That's a good thing, tell me what's wrong?" ”

Xue Qi's face flushed slightly, and she said cautiously:

"On the day I received the admission letter, I received a call from there, and the college said that they now have an expansion plan specifically for Chinese students, hoping to bring in a group of Chinese students, and that Ma Bailong and I have been selected...... Because our English is all very good...... They asked me if I would like to go to their school, and I said yes...... Later, I asked them what the conditions were, and they said that there was only one condition, that is, they must have the experience of working independently, and their college should not rely on their parents' Chinese students, they need Chinese students who are independent and work to earn money on their own, and they must have their own work results, such as advertising magazines or publishing their own photo albums or something......"

Xue Qi's voice weakened slightly, but the sensational effect in my heart became even stronger. Listening to Xue Qi's narration, a terrible conjecture slowly and slowly formed in my heart, and suddenly, I had a sense of suffocation, and an unimaginable sense of fear seized my heart.

"So, you want to shoot advertisements so much during this period of time, and it's also because you received an admission letter?" I asked.

"Hmm...... The people from the academy said that my work can't rely on any relationship with my parents, and if they knew that there was help from my parents, they would not consider it......" Xue Qi nodded lightly. Xue Qi paused and continued, "The people at the academy said that as long as I can pass the English test questions issued by their academy before the 20th and reach the passing line, I can go to their academy to study. Ma Bailong helped me investigate, and said that the other party was not a liar, but really from Harvard University, so I have been preparing for English during this time, and the other courses are a bit ......"

Speaking of which, Xue Qi didn't continue, but I also fully understood all the answers.

Xueqi's grades declined, Xueqi unusually got along with Ma Bailong, the reason why I beat Xueqi, the reason why Xueqi ran away from home, and then was kidnapped by kidnappers...... There's a reason for all of this.

All the clues are threaded through the needle, like Buddha beads, connected in series, and become a neatly arranged line.

That's right, the end point of all the spearheads is this admission letter.

However, the timing of this admission letter is too coincidental and coincidental, and the National Day has begun...... Wasn't that the first day I was just starting the game of God?

Is all this just a coincidence?

My heart was pounding, and then, I gently lifted the last page of my pre-acceptance letter.

Directly below that page, there is a stamp.

It was a blue moon.

Looking at this blue moon, my whole body felt like I had been electrocuted, and my body began to chill. Is it a coincidence? Or was it that from the very beginning, I had been caught up in a huge maelstrom of conspiracy?

My heart, which had been calm, was once again in such a mess that I couldn't even continue to think.

My breathing began to rapid, but a name began to come to my mind.

Blue Moon.

I deeply feel that everything these days may have something to do with this name.

I suddenly understood why Blue Moon was so omnipotent.

In fact, there is nothing special about his seemingly omnipotent ability. Because everything is just a trap he set for me, let me get into it, and it seems that I am desperate, but in fact, he has been waiting for me to send him a distress signal and help me out of the siege...... All this is like a self-directed and self-acted movie?

It turns out that he has already calculated everything, just waiting for me to jump into the pit?

Anyway, I know there is one person who knows the answer, and I have to look for him.

Xue Qi looked at me with some hesitation and said:

"Daddy...... I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier, but Dad, you're doing so much now, and I'm ...... now Not going to Harvard...... Sorry ......"

"How so. Your grades are so good, you will be favored by Harvard, and I can't be happy. It's okay, Dad supports you, and now Dad I've solved some troubles, just like the people who kidnapped you today, who have now been arrested by the police and fled, and they won't be found in the future. Dad doesn't have any debts, and if you really go to Harvard with you, Dad will support you. I smiled and touched Xue Qi's head, and Xue Qi looked at me in disbelief, her round pupils staring straight at me.

"I'll go out and ask them to check it out to see if it's true. You rest first. I left the room with Xueqi's acceptance letter, and when I walked out of the room, my face quickly became gloomy.

I touched James's room, knocked on the door and walked in, James was lying on the bed playing chess with Frecius, and he smiled a little when he saw me.

"Mr. Yang?"

With a forced smile, I spread out the acceptance letter in my hand to the last page and placed it on James's bedside, so that James could see the blue moon sign on it:

"James, you don't know about this acceptance letter you received during the National Day, right? The Blue Moon Master's number was given to me by you, and the letter also has the Blue Moon mark on it. I don't want you to lie to me that you don't know what's going on behind this. I still admire you as a person. ”

The smile on James' face narrowed slightly, he stopped playing chess with Frecius, looked at me and said:

"Mr. Yang......"

"James, tell me about Master Blue Moon, the more the better. I don't want to be left in the dark like an idiot. ”

"I'm sorry...... Mr. Yang. I should have told you about this earlier. James said with some regret, "Actually...... I asked Master Blue Moon to send this letter, I know that Miss Xue Qi is very important to you, Mr. Yang, so I entrusted Master Blue Moon to send her abroad for protection in the name of studying abroad, I think you will feel at ease...... I'm really sorry if that's confusing you. But that's all I can entrust Master Blue Moon to do. James said with an apologetic look on his face.

I frowned and looked at James, "So you bothered the Blue Moon Master for help?" What happened to Xueqi after that, it has nothing to do with you? ”

"You mean that Miss Xueqi met a kidnapper and failed the exam?"

"Yes. Didn't you arrange this? ”

"Mr. Yang," James sighed, "although Master Blue Moon can do many, many things, he is not God, he can't expect everything, and he can't do anything. Just like Miss Xueqi's exam, I regret this kind of thing, but this is unpredictable. If you blame me and Master Blue Moon for this, I can only bear it, but, I want to say, Mr. Yang, even if you are disappointed in me and Master Blue Moon, don't doubt us. I...... I really want to help you. ”

I looked at James quietly, looking into his blue eyes, and I saw sincerity in his eyes, and I really couldn't see the cruelty and viciousness that I had seen in the eyes of the kidnappers.

"However, Blue Moon can even uproot the Ma family, he can still use bombers, what else can't he do? Who the hell is he? ”

Hearing my question, James smiled again.

"Mr. Yang, I'm afraid it's hard for me to give you a satisfactory answer about Blue Moon's identity, first, I can't reveal it to you. Second, in fact, even I don't know much, because I'm just a little clerk below him. If it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't have been able to get Blue Moon's attention. ”

I frowned and said:

"Then tell me what you know, what kind of person is Blue Moon? Why does he have such great abilities? His ability is simply impossible for one person to do. He can interfere in the politics of other countries. ”

James smiled gently:

"Mr. Yang, do you really think that Blue Moon is a person?"

I was stunned and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"Just like the name suggests, Blue Moon is not a person. Mr. Yang, you have to keep it in mind. James repeated, as if he was afraid that I wouldn't remember, "Blue Moon is a person, a group of people, a group, a title, a symbol, and a belief. ”

I was a little confused at first, and said in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

James smiled, lowered his head, and continued to play chess with Frecius, saying to me:

"There is a church called the Presbyterian Church of God, and I can't say too much about the specifics, because I don't know very well myself. There are a total of eighteen elders in the Presbyterian Church of God, and one of them is a man named Blue Moon Head, who is the president of the Presbyterian Church of God and the Grand Elder. ”

"Presbyterian Church of God?"

"Yes. Presbyterian Church of God. "It's a mysterious, but also interesting organization. The seventeen elders in the Presbyterian Church of God, except for the president, all claim that they were once God, that they are the reincarnation of God—of course, this is only their own account, and I don't know if it's true or not. And Mr. Yang, the person who is talking to you is the president and great elder of the Presbyterian Church of God, Blue Moon Head. ”

"Blue Moon Head?"

"Yes. Of course, this may just be a code name. "Some people say that Master Blue Moon Head has saved the world seven times, and he has ...... Become God seven times. Of course, this may just be a flattery from those who respect the master. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. ”

My heart began to fluctuate. Seven times to become a man of God? What do you mean? Could it be that the Blue Moon Master had also been involved in the God Game before? Or is it really just an exaggerated claim about the moral breed of the Blue Moon Master?

"Presbyterian Church of God...... What is this church for? I asked in a whisper.

"Do your research." James said succinctly.

"Research? What to study? ”

"Study God, and wisdom." James said, "That's what the Presbyterian Church of God looks at. They believe in wisdom, worship wisdom, study wisdom, and study the intellectual limits of man and the universe. The seventeen elders and President Blue Moon in the Presbyterian Church of God are all people who stand at the pinnacle of human intelligence. They are the smartest and wisest people in the world, because there is no one in the world more intelligent than the one who studies wisdom. ”

"Even ...... They are no longer human. James added, "At least from my point of view, that's right." ”

"What do you mean, could it be that they're aliens?"

James smiled, "I didn't say that. But after all, I haven't even met Master Blue Moon and the Elders of God once, so I can't say what they are like. But, I always felt that they were too smart. I've heard people say that God's Presbyterian Church came about like this: One day, the members of God's Presbyterian Church got together by chance, and one of them proposed, 'This world is so boring, why don't we play this world as a game as God?' From then on, the Presbyterian Church of God became a behind-the-scenes organization that could control the direction of the world. Of course, this is just what I have heard. But after listening to this legend, Mr. Yang, you should know that the God Presbyterian Church and the Blue Moon have a very huge energy, and they can indeed do many things that ordinary people can't do. ”

At this point, James stopped abruptly, he didn't go any further, just smiled at me, and said:

"Anyway, Mr. Yang, I hope you will forget what I just said, and you haven't heard anything about it. I think what I just said is more like nonsense, right? ”

I looked at James intently, but didn't see anything more in his eyes. I wanted to ask James more questions, but he just shook his head and said he had no comment, so I had to give up.

"Actually...... That's all I know, and if you want to know more, I can't tell you more, Mr. Yang. Jaems smiled.

"Then I'll ask one last question." I settled down and asked, "Does Yuezi know about Blue Moon?" ”

James was slightly stunned, and then said:

"I know some, but it's not as good as you, Mr. Yang. I don't want her to know too much. ”

I nodded, patted James on the shoulder, and gave him an appreciative look:

"Let's do it first. You're hurt, rest early. I'll go back and rest first. ”

James asked about Xueqi, and I told him that Xueqi was okay and he was relieved, and before I walked out of James's room, I saw the chessboard of Frexiu and James, on which James's chess pieces were almost gone.

Leaving James's room, I wanted to go to the confinement to sit, but she was taking a shower, so I said hello and went back to my bedroom and closed the door.

I smiled and walked up to Xueqi with the admission letter and said:

"I asked Yuezi and James, and the acceptance letter was real. Qiqi, if you really insist, Dad is very supportive of you going to the United States...... You can also go with Ma Bailong. ”

I know that, in fact, no matter what Xueqi's final grades are, she will be able to be admitted, because this is a predetermined thing.

Compared to being by my side when I was wandering, by the side of Master Blue Moon, Xue Qi could get the best protection.

It's been sixteen years.

How many ups and downs, ups and downs, we have all come all the way.

But in the end, it was finally time to separate.

A voice in my heart is telling me that I finally rescued Xueqi, and the emotional dispute between me and her has finally found a way to settle, isn't this the best situation for me? I can finally go back to the old days with Xueqi. Xue Qi didn't go anywhere, just at home, by my side.

But reason is telling me that I can't do this, I've put Xueqi in danger twice, and the facts have proven that I don't have the ability to protect Xueqi at all, and by my side, Xueqi will only constantly encounter danger. I had to send her away and let her go to a safe place away from me, and that would be the best outcome.

Two diametrically opposed voices were arguing in my head, each sound so correct that it made my heart shake, and I ...... There is no choice at all.

All I can do is procrastinate. Delay as much as you can. Before that final goodbye moment, enjoy the precious time like the setting sun.

Xue Qi looked at me in disbelief, her fingers swiping across the quilt:

"But Daddy...... I don't want to go...... Dad, these days, I've kind of figured it out, I feel like I've done it wrong before...... I used to think about myself all the time, and I didn't think about what you would think about you, Dad...... When I didn't know it, you actually did a lot of dangerous things by yourself, dad, right? Although you certainly won't tell me...... But I feel the ...... that came out."

"But, don't you like Ma Bailong? You're not...... Have you made an appointment with him to take the exam to the United States? I looked at Xue Qi, took a deep breath, and asked.

Xue Qi bit her lip, her face was very heavy, and she seemed to be doing a very complicated ideological struggle. I know that Xueqi really likes Ma Bailong, the kind of love that is really a true lover. Even if she was arrested by the kidnappers because of Ma Bailong this time, she didn't blame Ma Bailong too much.

"But...... What are you going to do if I go to the U.S., Dad? Xue Qi looked at me with a complicated expression.

"What should I do?" I couldn't help but laugh, "What do I do?" Are you a child or am I a child? Could it be that if you go to the United States, your father will not be able to take care of himself? Qiqi, did you get what those kidnappers did? I feel like your personality has changed a bit. ”

Xue Qi lowered her head, her black bangs covered her forehead, and I could only see her eyes, but not her eyebrows. Xue Qi's cheeks were a little red and said:

"It's not...... Those kidnappers really didn't do anything to me...... I've had my body checked...... It's just cutting my hair......" Speaking of this, Xueqi paused, then raised her head slightly to look into my eyes, and whispered, "That's it...... Daddy, when you rushed in to save me today...... I found out that Dad, you are really desperate, you are really good to me...... It's been so good for me...... Okay, it's all a little ...... It's too much. It's like your life doesn't matter......"

Xue Qi's words seemed to inject a hot spring into my heart, and for a moment, I suddenly felt that my whole world lit up for a moment. After two days of hard work and hard work, several times struggling on the edge of life and death, I was already injured, and my mental state had been depressed to the extreme, but when Xue Qi said this, I suddenly felt that my hard work was rewarded, and everything I did, although I was bruised and scarred, was worth it...... I felt my eyes moisten, tears falling like lanterns, and a sour pain on the tip of my nose, and I took a hard breath to calm my emotions.

I touched Xueqi's head and couldn't help laughing:

"Silly girl, what's wrong with that? No matter what, I'm your father, I've raised you for more than ten years, is it possible that I will leave you behind halfway? ”

I gently patted Xue Qi on the back, Xue Qi leaned against my chest, her hands on my chest, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep, but I knew she was just too tired and needed a shoulder.

"Daddy...... I'm not going to the U.S. anymore...... I know, you always say it's okay, but when I do go, and when you're the only one left, you're going to be lonely...... Father...... Actually, I know a little bit...... Actually, you like me......" Xue Qi leaned on my chest and said suddenly, but her voice lowered a little shyly, "It's not like it...... Is that the ...... Loved it a little differently......"

Xue Qi's words set off a storm in my heart, like a sharp arrow piercing my heart, and my whole body froze a little. It was as if my innermost secret had been discovered, and suddenly, I felt at a loss.

"Haha...... What do you like this, and what do you like...... Dad didn't understand...... Haha......" I laughed, but there was no smile on my face. "Qiqi, how can Dad be lonely? Dad is very supportive of you going to the United States. In the past few days, you should study English at home, nourish your body, and adjust your mood. If you are admitted at that time, you can rest assured that you will go to the United States, and it doesn't matter if you go with Ma Bailong...... Daddy will take you there himself......"

Xue Qi didn't speak, she still leaned on me, and then said in a soft voice:

"No, Dad, I'm not going." Xue Qi repeated this sentence again, but this time, there was more determination in her tone.

"Daddy...... I want to be there for you, okay? It's like when I was a kid, I'm drawing at home, waiting for you to come back from work and cook for me, and we can watch TV together, how nice is that...... Dad, I don't want to go anywhere...... Dad, you don't even have an official girlfriend...... I'm gone, and when Sister Yuezi and they are gone, you'll really be the only one left...... With such a big house, you are the only one guarding it, Dad, and I want to cry a little when I think about it...... I feel so sorry dad for you......"

Speaking of this, Xue Qi's voice was a little choked, and even I felt that my eyes were moist, and something seemed to be stuck in my throat.

In fact, what Xue Qi said, isn't it something I've thought of countless times?

It's been more than once, and my mind has come up again and again with the scene where Xue Qi one day put on a snow-white wedding dress and walked into the marriage hall with her beloved man, in that picture, I smiled, watched from a distance alone, and applauded them, but after the marriage, I came home alone with white hair, silently took off my bright suit, and then sat alone in the corner of the dark and empty house and sighed, looking at a photo of Xue Qi when she was a child on the table, From the time she was one year old until she grew up, tears flowed down her face.

That was my nightmare. But I already knew that would one day become a reality.

Aren't all fathers and daughters all over the world like this?

The daughters of the whole world will innocently say that they want to marry their fathers when they are young, and the fathers all over the world will touch their heads on the surface and laugh and say fools, but they keep it in their hearts, although they do not hold out any hope, but silently wait for this impossible feeling, until many years later, when they are full of gray hair, they will laugh sweetly in their dreams when they recall the stupid words their daughters said that day.

They don't know that the daughters of the world have forgotten this joke when they grow up.

I sat silently on the edge of Xueqi's bed, my heart fluctuating, and at this moment, something that seemed like a belief suddenly began to burn in my heart like a flame, and I finally understood something that I had not thought deeply about before. It's about love, it's about faith.

Those girls with black hair in long dresses, although they have passed at some point in your life, they will leave you with something after all, those who leave you are not only love, but also faith.

"Qiqi...... If Dad had a girlfriend, you would be relieved to leave, wouldn't you? I took a deep breath and looked at Xue Qi with an unprecedentedly serious gaze, and asked without blinking.

Xue Qi looked at me suspiciously, with a look of surprise in her eyes, but as if she understood something.

"Anyway, Dad, you don't have an official girlfriend, don't say that you deliberately found someone to lie to me about being a girlfriend in order to let me go to the United States, in that case, I don't believe it."

I'm not reconciled to say:

"Qiqi, do you think Dad is so useless? There are more women who like dads. It's just that you don't know. You should prepare for the exam these days, as long as you pass the exam, Dad will bring his girlfriend home for you to see, so that you can go to the United States with peace of mind. ”

Xue Qi looked at me with puzzled eyes:

"I don't believe it......," Xue Qi pouted, pouting, "If there was, I would have known...... I know that Sister Yuhui has a good relationship with your father, and you will definitely ask Sister Yuhui for help. But even if it's Sister Yuhui, if she doesn't agree to marry you, I won't count. ”

Xue Qi's words made me cry and laugh, but they made me faintly shocked. It turned out that Xue Qi had already seen through me, and she knew that in fact, after so many years, I had not chosen the person I really wanted to spend my life with. I've been wandering, thinking of a shadow that can't find a direction, and I am dazed from one love field to another, but each love field is just a temporary grassland for me, but not my home.

Where I belong...... Even I don't know.

Xue Qi has already seen through me.

"Hehe, Sister Yuhui, Sister Yuhui, you look down on my father and me like this?" I pretended to smile proudly, but my heart felt like an ice thorn, and a faint tingling sensation permeated my heart.

"Don't worry, Dad already has it, and I went to the mall with her a few days ago. It was when you and Ma Bailong were watching a movie. I smiled, patted Xueqi's head, then pinched Xueqi's little face with my hand, and said, "Do you want something to eat?" You haven't eaten dinner yet. ”

"I don't really want to eat...... My head is still a little dizzy...... Xue Qi shook her head, her dark eyes still looking at me steadily.

"It's better to eat a little, it's not good for your health to be hungry. You haven't eaten in days, haven't you? ”

"Hmm...... Oh. Xue Qi snorted, her faint eyebrows were still wrinkled, she grabbed the quilt with both hands, looked at me with disbelief, and said, "Dad...... You really have ...... Object? It's true? ”

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"Of course." I smiled confidently and deliberately combed my hair with a hand knife like a Korean star, "Don't believe it? Isn't Dad handsome? ”

"Yes, it's not handsome, it's stinky." Xue Qi wrinkled her nose and smiled.

I knocked Xue Qi on the head and said sharply:

"Oh? Then you just wait and see. I'll make you a bowl of rice cakes, go to bed early, and don't play with your phone. ”

I winked at Xueqi, then exited Xueqi's room and closed the door, before the door was closed, I saw Xueqi's eyes looking at me from afar, and her eyes were full of worry.

I just walked down the stairs with my phone in my hand.

After walking downstairs, I didn't go to the kitchen, but walked alone to the underground garage and then walked into the warehouse where the Book of the World was hidden.

I called Yuhui directly.

Then to my surprise, the person who answered the phone was actually a man, with a bit of magnetic sound in his voice.

"Hello? Who is it? ”

"Are you...... Who? Hearing this strange man, I was stunned, and thought I had made the wrong call, but after taking a look and confirming that it was correct, I continued to ask, "I'm looking for Liu Yuhui." She's not there? ”

"Oh, she went to buy a ticket. Are you looking for her? There seemed to be a little hostility in the other party's voice.

"Hmm...... I'm looking for her...... I want her to do me a favor. I hurriedly made an excuse to go over, "Excuse me, who are you?" Yuhui's brother? ”

"What brother? I'm her boyfriend! The other party said angrily in a rough voice.

For a moment, I felt like a knife had been slid across my chest, and a wry smile spread across the corners of my mouth.

"Sorry, forget it. Next time, let's get a chance. ”

I hung up the phone in a hurry, but my heart was fluctuating, and an inexplicable cold feeling took over my whole body.

It turns out that I have been just self-righteous all along. I always thought that Yuhui was the woman who was quiet and not good at words.

It turns out that I was really wrong.

In this world, no one is really willing to wait for someone for a lifetime. When you think that others will always be waiting for you at the end of the line, you will never know that others have already gone to the sea of people disappointed.

Yuhui is gone...... She finally has her own little world.

I can afford to wait, but she can't...... Xue Qi too.

I laughed self-deprecatingly and slapped myself hard. Then, in that instant, I suddenly made up my mind.

I found myself with nothing to think about. It's as if most of life's wishes have been fulfilled.

After so many ups and downs, everything that should be lost has been lost, everything that should have been gained has been gained, and for the rest of the time, I have only one wish.

That is, all those who love me and those I love can find joy and peace and find their own happiness.

I walked into the warehouse, felt my hand, and found the book of the world, with a striking progress bar written on the cover:

85%。

I don't know what caused the bar to go up so much, but whatever the reason, I'm ready for the end.

I gently picked up the Book of the World, and after looking around to make sure that no one was there, I gently said to the book:

"I, Yang Jiandong, as the captain, cancel the qualification of Amano Yuezi."

"I, Yang Jiandong, as the captain, disqualified James Holmes from the team."

"I, Yang Jiandong, as the captain, disqualified Frexiu."

"I, Yang Jiandong, as the captain, disqualified Xu Bin from being a team member."

"I, Yang Jiandong, as the captain, cancel Wang Bin's team membership."

"I, Yang Jiandong, as the captain, cancel Liu Yuhui's team membership."

With these words, I gently put the Book of the World at the bottom of the clutter and quietly left the warehouse.

I don't regret that choice.

Because I knew I should have done it a long time ago.

Whether it is confinement, Xueqi, or the lovely Frexiu, the capable James, the smart Yuhui, or the timid Xu Bin, they have all walked through my life, helped me, and constitute an element of my life, which is the most important part of me, each of them is very important to me, as precious as my family, no matter who I am, I don't want him to be involved in the whirlpool of danger.

Therefore, it is the best choice to let them leave this dangerous game and become passers-by who have nothing to do with me from now on.

Yuezi and James walked together, and although it was not clear yet, I knew that it was inevitable. Xueqi is also accompanied by Ma Bailong, who will create their time in the United States. Yuhui finally took the first brave step towards the life she deserves, just as I have been looking forward to......

Everyone has been happy, and those people and things that once worried me have their own happy endings, then I can also be satisfied.

The rest of the road, no matter how rough and complicated it is, as long as I am alone, it will be enough.

I walked out of the underground garage slowly, to the courtyard outside, the cool autumn wind blew across my cheeks, I raised my head, saw a round of bright moon, to the moon, I smiled, stretched a lazy waist, and then turned around and walked into the hall, took a sip of tea, two days and one night of tiredness in an instant like waves fluttering, the wounds on the body, the accumulation of fatigue in the brain, mental pressure, emotional ups and downs, all these in an instant fused together, converged into a raging wave, Swallowed me up.

I felt the whole world spin, and then I felt my body fall limply towards the couch like a leaf in the air......
