Standing under the big tree, Chen Qianran looked like a man with a very special temperament. When he is quiet, he is like a scholar, and he has a bookish aura that is not very strong but makes people feel comfortable. But when he shot with a bloody spear, he was the overlord. The overlord who does not put any enemy or opponent in his eyes, his guns and his people all carry a domineering spirit that no one dares to question.

But at this time, he was a father.

In Chen Xi's somewhat cramped and surprised gaze, Chen Yanran's hand trembled slightly and sorted out Chen Xi's clothes. Chen Yanran's hand may be the most stable hand in the world, but when he holds the Blood Flame Spear, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he will not tremble. But now, just tidying up Chen Xi's clothes, his hands are trembling.

Chen Xi felt that his nose was sour, and there was a warm current in his heart.

Such an ordinary thing is the first time it has appeared between father and son. They don't seem to have had any intimate behavior like ordinary fathers and sons, but this doesn't mean that the relationship between them is very weak.

"Sometimes I think about how irresponsible I am. ”

Chen Yanran sat down under the big tree, his face guilty: "I have been reminiscing before I came, trying to remember some things when you were a child. But I found that I remembered too little. Maybe your mother remembers everything about every day before you left us, but I have mostly forgotten it. At that time, I had very little time with you, and now I have lost all these few memories. ”

Chen Xi wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Chen Duran pointed to his side and asked Chen Xi to sit down, Chen Xi was next to him, but he still looked a little cramped.

Chen Duran said: "I used to deceive myself like this, I have a lot of big things to do, all of which are big things that affect the world, so there is no way to distance myself from my children." Every time I blame myself, I use such excuses to seek comfort for myself. Not only to deceive yourself, but also to deceive you and deceive your mother with such an excuse. I always say, I'm too busy to spend time with you. ”

He smiled, a bitter smile: "But now I know very well that these are excuses, and it is actually my irresponsibility that I have missed so much about you and about your mother's past." I could have spent more time with you, but I've spent it elsewhere. So much so that now I'm trying to remember what you looked like when you were a child, it's so vague. ”

Chen Xi lowered his head and couldn't speak, but tears had already slipped down his cheeks. Even the vine, who was sitting a little farther away, lowered his head and wept.

Chen raised his hand, his hand still trembling. He seemed to be worried about something, but the hand was outstretched but stiffened in mid-air. After a long while, he seemed to have overcome something with difficulty, and finally stretched out his hand and patted it lightly on the top of Chen Xi's head: "Being my son of Chen Qianran, it's very wronged, right?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "Don't be wronged, I am also proud of my father like other people's children." ”

Chen Duran said: "How can I not be wronged, being my son, not only has he been taken care of by his father for a day, but he has suffered because of me." At the age of four, you had to leave home and wander alone, and if you weren't strong enough to persevere, I might not have been able to see you now. I've never done anything for you, but you've been trying to save me. I haven't done anything since you were born until now. ”

Chen Xi raised his head and looked at Chen Yanran: "But you are my father, the father I have always been proud of." ”

Chen said: "Every child may have a kind of awe for their father. In your heart, you may also think that the things I have done are really remarkable. But Xi'er, I hope you don't carry too much. Back then, I always felt that I had to carry a lot of things, so I missed a lot of things. You are the same now, and now you are surrounded by many people who care about you and love you, and sometimes, escaping may not be the only way. ”

Chen Xi knew what his father was referring to, and he nodded: "When I come back from the East China Sea, I will go back to Blue Star City." ”

Chen Yanran smiled and rubbed Chen Xi's head, and his movements looked much more natural than just now: "One thing, in fact, you are much better than me, it seems that many good girls like you." ”

Chen Xi burst into tears and laughed, and lowered his head embarrassedly.

Chen said: "Sometimes, it's actually you who think too much about yourself. I know you're smart, but that kind of cleverness can complicate a lot of things. How can they not know about each other's relationship with you? They can tolerate each other, but you feel that you have done something wrong and dare not face it. ”

Chen Xi's head lowered a little, because he was really conflicted in his heart. Sometimes Chen Xi hates himself for not being attentive enough, so many people like him, he doesn't know how to face it. He's smart enough, but he's really stupid and stupid when it comes to this kind of thing. He didn't go back to Blue Star City, first because he didn't want Liu Xichen and Ding Mei to feel sad, but it wasn't because Chen Xi didn't know how to face them.

"You're not single-minded enough. ”

Chen Yanran's words pierced straight into Chen Xi's heart.

After Chen Yanran finished saying this, he smiled and continued: "In the final analysis, all of this that you dare not face now is actually because of you, not them. But have you thought about it, and your current evasion will be a disservice to them. Since it has happened and cannot be changed, then you should double down on their goodness, for everyone's goodness, and any other choice you have is harmful. ”

Chen Xi raised his head and nodded slowly

Chen Duran knew that he couldn't say too much, and the matter of children's affection had to be solved by Chen Xi and them in the end. Now it is impossible for Chen Xi to separate from anyone again, and they will not want to be separated from Chen Xi. Seeing that Chen Xi was a little embarrassed, Chen Duran immediately changed the topic: "You're not in a hurry to leave, right? Anyway, what you want to do is not particularly urgent, so just sit for a while and talk for a while." ”

Chen Xi nodded vigorously.

"I don't know what I can do to help you, but there's one thing you're doing right, and that's to face the unknown alone. ”

Chen Qianran said: "If it were you, I would choose it this way." If your mother were faced with such a thing, she would have made the same decision as they did. If you have to die, they will choose to stay with you. The same is true of your mother, who will be with me if I go to face something very dangerous, and even death will not stop her. ”

But having said that, it can't be done. We are men, and we are entitled to have a responsibility to protect our women. If we are faced with a situation where we have to die, then what we have to do is to die ourselves and let them live. They may be miserable and sad every day in the days that follow, but they are also alive. ”

Chen Duran said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Xi looked at the vine, then nodded.

Chen Yanran looked at Teng'er again: "I know that there is nothing in this world that can separate you, no matter how powerful the external force is. But I'm still going to ask you to go back to Blue Star City with me, okay? Let Xi'er face it herself, I don't know if it's right for me to teach my son like this, but I know very well that he thinks the same way. ”

Teng'er looked at Chen Xi and suddenly understood. Following Chen Xi like this may not necessarily be a good thing for Chen Xi to go to the East China Sea this time. What if Gou Chen is really angry with Chen Xi because of himself? So will he follow him make Gou Chen even more angry? Moreover, Chen Xi is not as relaxed as he is with her words.

Chen continued: "I'm selfish, so I might be a little more direct. Let him go to the East China Sea this time, he will face it alone. This kind of selfishness is first because of the responsibility of our Chen family men, and the second is because he himself is more flexible. ”

Fuji'er nodded: "I know, I'm just afraid that he will really die, and I can't bear it." So I want to spend more time with him, even if it's for an extra day. ”

"He can't die. ”

Chen Duran said: "I promise that he will not die." ”

Teng'er didn't understand why Chen Duran had such confidence, but she knew that every word Chen Duran said was credible.

Chen Duran said: "The men of the Chen family should have such an awareness, and they can't drag their women to death if they die." This is the first, the second I am his father, I was trapped before, I was blocked by a lot of things, so I couldn't take care of my son. But now that I've figured it out, no matter how big the world is, it's no bigger than my son's life, so no one wants to kill him until I die. ”

"I won't follow you, just don't worry. ”

Chen Duran smiled at Chen Xi: "But you should know that even if I don't follow you, I will find you at the most critical time." I'm still the same sentence, I'm selfish and selfish I hope that your mother, those girls who like you will live, even if they live sadly, I also hope that they will live instead of dying with us. ”

He turned to look at Teng'er: "Come back to Blue Star City with me in a while, and help me go and appease Xi'er's mother." As for the danger that Xi'er has to face, you want to help, but you have to be behind me. ”

Teng'er snorted, Chen Duran's words had a power that she couldn't resist. That was her father's strength, and Fuji'er knew that going back was the right choice. In fact, there is no need for Chen Qianran to say this, why doesn't Teng'er herself understand this? She is just really reluctant, she is really afraid, afraid that something will happen to Chen Xi, and she is not by his side.

"Your Father"

Chen Duran stood up, looked at the sky and said slowly: "I used to be a self-righteous person, thinking that the great responsibility of the world was on my own shoulders, and I lived for the world and would die for the world." But now I don't think about these things anymore, what I want to think about is how to keep my family alive and live well. ”

He looked at Chen Xi with a smile: "Moreover, father will always be very strong at certain times, believe me, what you have to face is indeed very dangerous, but your father has many ways." Before, I used all my greatest power against the Abyssal Beast, and now I take back this power to protect my son. And there's a big secret that only I know, and it's good news, very good news. Xi'er, go and face it, your father is not standing behind you to support you, but standing in front of you. ”
