Chapter 65: Night Talk (Part II)
"Other Thoughts......"
Although there was still emotional hesitation, Lin Xiaolu subconsciously followed Delphinium.
She began to try to dissect herself, wondering if there were other triggers for her low mood these days, and as she walked some distance, an answer came to her mind:
"Actually, when I first found out about this, I felt a little sorry for my dad."
The delphinium on the side stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Lin Xiaolu hurriedly reached out to support her: "What's wrong?" ”
"There seems to be a pit in the ground." The delphinium that had regained her stance made a straight face, pretending to be calm to indicate that she was fine, and casually made up a reason for her unclear vision at night.
"Really?" Lin Xiaolu looked back with some doubts, only to see that the road under the moonlight and silver light was smooth, and there was no "pit" in the mouth of the delphinch.
But she didn't think much about it, didn't try to dig deeper, just thought she couldn't see clearly, turned around and continued to follow the delphinium.
"You and your father...... Has anything happened before? Walking on a somewhat quiet sidewalk, the delphinium asked to change the subject.
The idea of asking about this has been going on for a long time, but she really wants to know what the cold war with her father is like from her daughter's point of view.
Lin Yun has always felt that the conflict between himself and his daughter mainly stems from a lack of care and communication, so he has been trying to make up for this after Lin Xiaolu ran away from home. It's just that when she began to contact her daughter as a delphinite, and gradually understood some of her daughter's true thoughts, she found that the truth didn't seem to be the case.
"It's not so much what happened, it's a one-sided misunderstanding."
Lin Xiaolu followed behind Delphinch, "At the beginning, when my mother died, he hid the whereabouts of her body on the one hand, and was with other young women on the other. It made me think that he didn't love his mother anymore and wanted to take this opportunity to leave her and me behind and find another woman. ”
"Later, I quarreled with him, ran away from home, and many things were very stiff, but I always felt that it was his fault, so I never thought to forgive or understand him."
"Ha, now that I think about it, there may be my own arbitrary judgment."
"Because when I was a child, he was very strict with me, and he was so strict that he hated it, so when I felt that he was wrong, even if I was asking him the reason on the surface, I didn't actually want to hear the answer, and I already judged in my heart that he was wrong."
The two walked all the way, slowly passing the Xizhao Bridge on the Xiting River, the time was close to midsummer, and in the hot night, there was only a slight cool breeze on the water.
There was no traffic on the bridge at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and Delphinium and Lin Xiaolu walked along the sidewalk one after the other, and the crisp footsteps echoed on the bridge deck.
“…… What now? Regarding Lin Xiaolu's "self-reflection", Delphinium did not directly express her opinion, but continued to ask.
If she is just a "Delphinch", then she can judge Lin Xiaolu's right or wrong from the perspective of a bystander; But as a party to this parent-child cold war, she actually knew that in such a complicated situation at that time, she and Lin Xiaolu couldn't talk about who was right and who was wrong.
The original intention of her and her daughter was to maintain the existence of the family, but because the information they knew was different: the daughter didn't know that her mother was a magical girl; Identity and feeling are different: as a father, I failed to understand my daughter's doubts and helplessness at that time. In the end, it will become such a huge divide.
As a parent, I should always take the initiative in communicating with my children, but I didn't realize this at that time.
On the other side, Lin Xiaolu also continued: "Because he showed me a photo of you and your mother before, and now I know that he didn't want me to know the truth about my mother's death at that time." ”
After all, I heard him say that his mother is actually a very strong magical girl, but she died in an unknown way. In the face of an enemy who can kill my mother, even if I know the truth, and even hate because of it, I am afraid I don't know what I can do. ”
"The result is, because I don't know why my mother died, I always thought it was a simple accident, and put hatred and hostility on him."
"He should have done it with good intentions, but that's how I responded to him......"
- "If you could tell your dad what he thinks, he'd be happy, right?" ”
Delphinium suddenly spoke: "It will actually be better to tell him directly than to tell me here." ”
"Wouldn't it be too late to say that now?" Lin Xiaolu looked sad.
"It won't be late."
The delphinch shook her head, turned her face sideways, and looked at the river under the bridge with an expressionless face, so that people didn't know what was going on in her heart: "No one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes when it comes to family relationships. ”
"You're a first-time daughter, and your dad is a first-time father, and you're both just novices in your own positions, and it's inevitable that there will be all kinds of mistakes. If the mistake is still in the realm of forgiveness, why not give each other another chance? ”
"What's more, your father may no longer blame you in this matter."
Regarding this matter, there is a certain unexplained emotion in her words, although it is very vague, but even the dull Lin Xiaolu can feel it a little.
So she looked at the delphinium a little stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Delphinch, ...... Are there children? ”
The delphinium stopped and glanced at her.
"Guess."
After dropping these two words, he continued to move forward.
Lin Xiaolu hurriedly trotted to follow.
Delphinch didn't ask any more questions for some reason, and Lin Xiaolu just followed her all the way, and the two walked to the middle of the bridge and came to the middle of the Xiting River.
Lowering his eyes and glancing to the side, Lin Xiaolu's face was a little complicated.
Because she felt that since she had decided to open her mouth to express her inner doubts, there were still some questions that should not be avoided.
It's just that this matter is different from what I said before, as a magical girl, her next words may really disappoint Delphia.
It has nothing to do with his mother's identity, nor does it have anything to do with the conflict with his father, but is disappointed in Lin Xiaolu himself.
Although she kept asking Delphinium if she was disappointed in herself, in fact, she didn't want Delphinium to hate her at all.
If possible, she also hopes that she can be like Xia Liang, always behaving well and likable in front of others; Always be able to enliven the atmosphere appropriately and make others happy; It's always so good that it can make Delphinium happy with herself.
But now, not to mention these, even the most basic qualities of being a magical girl, she seems to have lost.
Because these days, she gradually felt that she seemed to have lost the courage to fight.
Should you really say such a thing? If you don't talk about it like this, if you just pretend it's okay, at least you can do it like now......
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaolu's thinking stagnated.
For she suddenly saw that the delphinium turned her head and looked at herself with those clear blue eyes.
In the moonlight, those eyes were like the purest sapphires, with a few hints of silver, and as if they could speak, they looked at themselves with encouraging emotions.
Lin Xiaolu pursed her lips, and then, plucking up the courage to open her mouth.
