The soft light sprinkled on their bodies, and unconsciously, Cai Jiayi's little head had gently rested on Chen Jiayu's shoulder, one hand was holding with him, and the ten fingers of the two were intimately intertwined.

"I couldn't see it with my own eyes, but now I can feel it just by listening to you." Her eyelashes twitched, and her voice was soft, as if whispering in his ear, "Your father, it's really good."

"That's not all." Chen Jiayu smiled.

"Sometimes, my mom would talk to me and my sister about my dad and her when she was younger."

"My dad is very nice to my mom, let's go on a date, if it's about six o'clock in the evening, my dad will probably be waiting for her in the neighborhood at two or three o'clock in the afternoon."

"After they got married, my dad took care of all the expenses of the family by himself, so that my mother could stay at home and take care of my sister and me without any worries."

When he was a child, his father was his idol.

He let Chen Jiayu see the love and sense of responsibility that a man should have.

working hard for the family outside; When he returned home, he guarded his home with a lot of love, and it has never changed for many years.

In the eyes of the young Chen Jiayu, his father was not only the strongest pillar in the family, but also a big umbrella, sheltering the whole family from the wind and rain, so that the family could rely on it.

He thought that when he grew up, he would become a man like his father.

"My dad has one more advantage."

"He will do what he promises."

"For example, you promised me and my sister gifts and took us out to play...... He never spoke and didn't count."

Speaking of this, Chen Jiayu suddenly stopped, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes.

Cai Jiayi turned her head to look at him and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Chen Jiayu opened his eyes, and there was a slight redness in the circles under his eyes.

He whispered, "On my 10th birthday, my dad missed an appointment for the first time."

"He promised me that he would come back for my birthday. But that day, I waited late with my mother and sister, and he didn't come back. I was disappointed and unhappy that he had forgotten my birthday."

"But later, we received a call from the hospital, saying that he had a heart attack and was being rescued in the emergency room......

His tone was very strong, but it was so thick that it could not be diluted.

Although the memory of his father only occupies a small part of his entire life, Chen Jiayu will always remember the last scene before his father left, he was lying on the hospital bed, as if he was returning to the light, he actually raised his hand with the last trace of strength, trembled, and held Chen Jiayu's hand.

With his eyes closed, he said to Chen Jiayu with difficulty in a barely audible voice, "Jiayu, you must grow into a man, and then, take good care of those you love......

At that time, Chen Jiayu only felt that his immature heart was bleeding constantly, and it fell heavily drop by drop into the hands of the father and son...... From his father's hand, he once again felt the temperature of happiness.

But after a few minutes, he lost it again.

Looking at his father who closed his eyes and would never open them again, the little Chen Jiayu felt for the first time what the pain of loss was. ….

At that time, he realized that his happiness seemed solid, but in fact it was extremely fragile.

With a mischievous blow from the hammer of fate, it shatters into powder.

……

Cai Jiayi looked at him, reached over, hugged him tightly, buried her head in his arms, and said in a soft and gentle voice: "Don't be sad, your father must be watching from the sky and proud of you now."

"Huh." Chen Jiayu tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled lowly, "You still believe this."

"Hmm." She rubbed his chest seriously and nodded.

Chen Jiayu originally wanted to say that he was a staunch atheist, but he was suddenly stunned again.

In his self

What happened to me can no longer be perfectly explained by scientific theories.

I couldn't say this sentence.

Turning his head, he looked out the window at the night, where a few small stars were embedded in it, emitting a faint light, like gentle and kind eyes, watching him.

A thought popped into my head.

Perhaps, Dad is really watching him from heaven?

A few seconds later, Chen Jiayu retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and looked at Cai Jiayi's little head on his chest, he quietly raised his hand, wanting to rub the top of her head, but finally put it down again, and there was a throbbing pain in the depths of his chest.

Dad, did you see that?

In addition to mom and sister......

I seem to have someone who wants to take care of her, someone who wants to make her laugh......

But............

I don't know how to do it, how not to lose it......

The whole living room was wrapped in silence, and on the sofa, teenagers and girls snuggled tightly together for a long, long time, with their eyes closed and not making any sound.

But they also knew from each other's breath that the other was not asleep.

It wasn't until the text message prompt sound from the mobile phone that the silence was broken.

Chen Jiayu took the phone over and looked at it, it was Ruan Xiulian who asked him when he would go home.

Looking at the time again, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening.

Cai Jiayi raised her head from his arms, then let go of the arm that was holding him, sat up, and looked at him with some reluctance: "You should go back, right?"

"I'll take your temperature first." Chen Jiayu said.

In fact, when he was hugged by her just now, he felt that her body temperature seemed to be a little lower again, but he still had to measure it to rest assured.

Drip.

37.1 degrees.

"It's pretty much normal." Chen Jiayu exhaled, so that he could go back with confidence.

"Well, why can't I have a fever a little longer?" She sighed with a grumbling look in her eyes, "In that case, you can stay with me a little longer."

Chen Jiayu laughed angrily at her, and raised his hand to give her a little harder: "It's going to be burned for a while, I see that your brain has been burned out now."

"Woo-woo." She covered her forehead, twitched her shoulders twice, and said with tears in her eyes, "Okay, you go back, anyway, I know you're impatient, and you want to leave for a long time, anyway, people are a little friend who no one loves~~ Just let me stay at home alone......

Chen Jiayu was about to stand up, but when she said this, he involuntarily sat back down. ….

"Okay, I'll sit down a little longer."

Cai Jiayi immediately nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Well, sit down for a while."

"When I get back, you go to bed early." Chen Jiayu sat there, thinking of something, and said seriously, "If you are not feeling well tomorrow, you can take a leave of absence, and you don't have to come to school hard, in this kind of thing, the old party is very good at talking."

"Well, I remember."

Chen Jiayu handed her the thermometer again: "If it burns badly again at night, remember to tell me."

"That...... What if it's the middle of the night and you fall asleep?"

"Call me. Whatever time it is, I'll come over."

Cai Jiayi's eyes bent: "Why are you so good to others? Do you want people to like you more and more, and you can't extricate yourself?"

Chen Jiayu: "...... I'm leaving."

This time, Cai Jiayi didn't pretend anymore, just smiled at him and said, "Okay, it's not early, you should go back too."

As soon as she reached the door, she suddenly shouted again, "Wait."

Chen Jiayu stopped, turned around, and saw her walking over, holding the gift bag containing the fountain pen in her hand.

Cai Jiayi smiled and said, "You haven't taken this with you yet."

He was stunned, then reacted and reached for the bag.

"Thanks, I almost forgot."

"Well, be careful on the road,"

Cai Jiayi said softly.

Chen Jiayu smiled and turned to go downstairs.

He didn't look back, but he could feel that her eyes were always on his back.

Came out of Cai Jiayi's house.

After walking for a while, Chen Jiayu suddenly stopped, raised his head, and looked at the starry sky above his head.

Since just now, his heart has been tightly tangled together because of a certain problem.

He had been avoiding that question before, but at this time, he couldn't help but think about it again.

If it comes to the next cycle, she doesn't show up again......

Then he will experience the pain of loss again......

Before, Chen Jiayu always felt that he could control his feelings, he just wanted to live the rest of the day, even if she would not appear again in the next cycle, he could still leave a good memory.

But on this night, when he recalls the pain of his loss, he realizes how scared he is to lose again.

's liking for her was originally as weak as a little spark, but I don't know when it has been a prairie fire.

If its madness is not stopped in time, then ......

When that moment really comes, will he be able to afford it?

……

This idea came out of Chen Jiayu's heart irrepressibly, and he questioned himself blankly, but he never found an answer.

So much so, it took him much longer than usual to walk home.

At this time, it was already past nine o'clock.

When he pushed open the door, Ruan Xiulian, who had been waiting at home, hurriedly walked over.

Seeing Chen Jiayu walking in, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's good to come back, just come back."

But in the next second, she noticed the slightly depressed mood on her son's face, and she was stunned again.

"I heard you say early, you went out to celebrate your classmate's birthday today, why do you have this expression now?" Ruan Xiulian looked at her son with some concern, "What happened? Are you having fun?"

"No, I'm just a little tired." Chen Jiayu smiled as naturally as possible, "Okay, Mom, I'll take a shower first, and then go to bed, you should go to bed early."

Took a shower and went back to the room.

Chen Jiayu was lying on the bed, he was obviously very tired, but he still tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before he slowly closed his eyelids.
