"Du Xiaobai, what are you doing here?"

Meng Tianlan wore a thin shirt and walked out of the house, she saw Du Xiaobai sitting alone on the stone bench in the courtyard, and asked curiously.

"Can't sleep, both children are asleep?"

Du Xiaobai looked at the dark room behind Meng Tianlan and asked softly.

"Yes. ”

Meng Tianlan sat down on a stone bench beside Du Xiaobai and covered the thin shirt on his body.

Seeing this, Du Xiaobai took off his coat and handed it to Meng Tianlan.

Meng Tianlan glanced at Du Xiaobai, didn't say a kind word, and draped Du Xiaobai's coat over herself.

"Are the two children so coaxing?" Du Xiaobai asked.

Meng Tianlan glanced at the room, sighed softly, and said, "I turned off the light just now to tell them a story, Xiao Cang fell asleep quickly, and if he fell asleep before he finished telling a story, Xiao Shuang couldn't do it...... This child, despite being only eight years old, has a lot of thoughts and is very heavy...... It's heart-wrenching......"

"They don't have a mom or dad, they will definitely be more independent and lonely, and it's normal for girls to be sensible and more thoughtful than boys. ”

Du Xiaobai comforted.

"I understand that many of the children in my mother-in-law and Lingji Tong are like this. If it's a child I don't know, that's it, but the two of them, I don't know why, from the first time I saw them today, I liked it in my heart, so I was inexplicably uncomfortable when I saw their sister and brother being wronged. Meng Tianlan said.

"What about Xiaoshuang's attitude towards you?" asked Du Xiaobai.

"It's better than before, but it's still a little repulsive, in fact, I can see that she doesn't hate me, she just has a very bad impression of some things. Anger on me, I totally understand. Meng Tianlan said.

"Well, I was a little worried about your bad mood before, but I was relieved to see that you digested it well. Du Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

"You have so little confidence in me?" Meng Tianlan glanced at Du Xiaobai.

Du Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, in fact, I can see that you really want to be the godmother of the two of them." ”

"En......" Meng Tianlan looked up at the moonlight in the sky and said, "I have met so many lonely children before, and I have never thought of being anyone's mother, only the two of them, maybe, this is fate......"

By the moonlight, Du Xiaobai looked at Meng Tianlan, who was deep in thought, and a feeling that time suddenly became very slow gradually came to him.

He looked at Meng Tianlan, who had eyes full of persistence, and for some reason, he remembered Shao Qingqing.

Nine years ago, because he didn't want Shao Qingqing to risk his life, Du Xiaobai rejected Shao Qingqing's idea of getting pregnant for the third time. At that time, Shao Qingqing grabbed him by the collar and shouted at him: "Du Xiaobai, in this life, it is fate to meet you! Marrying you is also fate! Since we played at home when we were children, I just want to be your child's mother! You promise me! You promise me!"

Du Xiaobai really can't forget Shao Qingqing's persistent eyes at that time, that kind of persistence, so that he can no longer say no. Then, there was that ending.

If she didn't have herself, Shao Qingqing might have found someone who loved her to marry, and perhaps, in that marriage, she wouldn't have this kind of attachment, so she should live well...... Without the fetters of children, life will become very simple, that man may follow her in everything, let her, in his spare time, Shao Qingqing will definitely read books, travel, and do what he wants to do, that's all.

So what are you...... I didn't live in that space without myself, I was real, I married Shao Qingqing, who had been playing with me since I was a child, and it was I who finally agreed to her request, if ...... I was more determined at that time...... Maybe it will be a different situation, and what I see when I look up now may still be the moon on earth......

I won't activate that real gold, I won't be poisoned, I won't come to the underworld, I won't see this strange plane, I won't have those weird abilities that often short circuit, I won't meet so many people who have a plain life, and even, I won't meet the woman sitting opposite who will remind me of Shao Qingqing......

This is also fate...... It's also cause and effect...... It's just that this fate, this cause and effect, will inevitably make many people in the game fall into inexplicable surprise and fall into the pain of hindsight.

Whoever is the cause and who is the effect, or whose cause is the effect, and whose effect is the cause, then let no one blame anyone, because the chicken comes out of the egg, and the chicken lays the egg again, and the egg gives birth to the chicken again. Chickens and eggs are both part of the Five Elements, and exploring who gave birth to whom and who is in front of whom is in itself disrespectful to the sentient beings of the Five Elements and the cycle of cause and effect.

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry......"

"Hurry up, you lazy worm who knows how to grind!"

"My love, where are you?"

"It's a little cold, I'll have to find a warm nest!"

"It's that damn grasshopper that infects me, or my nose can smell the food on the other side of the wall!"

......

......

Just as Du Xiaobai was thinking, a lot of mixed voices reached his ears, and this feeling reminded him of when he heard Bai Ying speak.

Du Xiaobai slowly looked around at the pitch black, he couldn't see whose mouth these strange sounds and words came from, but he could discern the direction, these sounds were coming from all directions, and they were the voices of several animals.

Why? Why can I hear you again?

Du Xiaobai lowered his head, shook his head vigorously, and poked his ears with his fingers, these chaotic sounds made it difficult for him to digest them at the same time for a while.

"Du Xiaobai, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, Meng Tianlan's voice came.

Du Xiaobai looked up at Meng Tianlan, who was looking at him strangely, and the feeling of time slowing down disappeared in an instant.

Those chaotic sounds also disappeared in an instant, and they could no longer be heard.

Du Xiaobai sighed and said to Meng Tianlan: "It's not much, I feel now that I am not reliable at all." ”

"Unreliable?" Meng Tianlan looked at Du Xiaobai's coat draped over him, and said with a dumb smile, "Why did you suddenly say this about yourself?"

"Just now, suddenly I felt that time became very slow, and your movements became very slow, and suddenly I heard a lot of animal sounds, really many kinds of sounds, and then as soon as you asked, these sounds were instantly inaudible, and time seemed to have returned to normal...... "Du Xiaobai told Meng Tianlan without reservation.

Meng Tianlan listened, followed by a silence, she needed to work hard to digest Du Xiaobai's explanation.

Du Xiaobai sighed, shook his head and said: "These strange abilities come and go in a hurry, inexplicably, so I feel that my current self is not reliable at all." ”

Meng Tianlan smiled slightly and comforted: "I think you are quite reliable." ”
