Chapter Ninety-Eight—Photographs from Eight Years Ago
Chaodu Hotel.
"Please help tell Master Mu, and say that Yiyi came to him. ”
"Oh, okay, then you guys wait here for a while. ”
Back kitchen.
"You said a white-haired girl is looking for me, and a boy with you?" Mu Zhichen asked as he looked at a male waiter in front of him.
"Yes, that little girl said she knew you. ”
"I see, you take them to my room first, and I'll change my clothes and I'll be there. ”
"Good. ”
Out of the kitchen, the male waiter came to Di Zimo and Bai Lingyi, and said with a smile: "Please come with me." ”
Then the three of them went up to the fourth floor, which was no longer a floor for guests to eat, but a dormitory for the waiters and cooks, a place to rest.
Mu Zhichen's room was in the innermost, so the three of them walked for another five minutes to reach their destination.
"This is it, go in. ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you. Bai Lingyi thanked politely.
Because Mu Zhichen is the head chef, Chaodu Hotel specially arranged a separate room for him, the overall area is not large, not small, just suitable for one person to live, commonly used furniture and electrical appliances, energy TV, sofa, table, bed, refrigerator, bathroom, and a small balcony by the window in the living room.
Di Zimo looked left and right, and after a while, he came to a counter, there were only two items on it, a vase and a photo frame, and the next second, the photo in the frame suddenly made his eyes widen.
There are four people in the photo, the one on the left is a middle-aged man, who looks to be in his early thirties, one of his arms is holding a virtuous woman, and the woman is holding a baby who seems to have just been born, two small pink hands are playing with the blood-red gem on his chest, and a pair of big black eyes are extremely bright, looking dull and cute. To the right of the woman stood a slightly chubby young man, looking younger but in his twenties, all with big smiles on their faces, judging by the background of the photo, which should have been taken in a small town.
Suddenly, a tingling pain hit his brain, and Di Zimo lay on the counter with his head in his hands and twitched, his eyes flashing with a strong blood light. How could he not recognize it? The man on the left in the photo was clearly his father! And the woman in the middle, how could he forget that familiar and gentle smile?
"Ah!!h
Bai Lingyi was taken aback: "Zimo, what's wrong with you?"
"Who the hell is he... Who the hell is he..."
"You should call me uncle. Mu Zhichen didn't know when he had come behind the two of them.
The pain suddenly decreased a lot, and Di Zimo slowly turned around under Bai Lingyi's support, his eyes were already full of sadness.
Mu Zhichen then asked, "Child, can I talk to you alone?"
Di Zimo breathed rapidly, nodded after a short silence, Bai Lingyi was also very sensible, helped him sit on the sofa, and turned around and went to the balcony.
Mu Zhichen slowly walked to the counter and picked up the photo frame, and then sat down next to Di Zimo: " This photo was taken eight years ago, when the family was poor, and couldn't afford to buy a camera, so I borrowed someone else's for it, so our family photo is only this one, when I was young and frivolous, I wanted to go to the big city to develop, my sister, that is, your mother left this only photo to me, saying that if you are homesick, take it out and see, I smiled at the time and said, if I miss you too much, I will definitely come back, but until something happened in the town, I couldn't go back to see her. ”
Di Zimo said with some surprise after hearing this: "I have heard my mother mention you many times, it turns out that you are my mother's younger brother? It's mine... Uncle?"
Mu Zhichen nodded: "Not bad." Although I haven't seen you for eight years, I still recognize you at a glance just now, Liu'er, you are not as cute as you were when you were a child, your mother and your father were by the river..."
"It's okay, I already know it. Di Zimo said.
Mu Zhichen sighed: "But it's great that you're okay, Liu'er, don't worry, from now on, your uncle will protect you, stay by my side, okay?"
Di Zimo lowered his head, and the light in his eyes flashed: "Uncle, I have to tell you the truth first." In fact, the death of my parents was caused by me, and it was me, and it was me, who killed them, and it was me, who killed everyone. ”
After hearing this, Mu Zhichen's whole body stiffened: "You, what did you say?"
"My true identity is a foreigner, and some evil people want to get something in me, so they launched a large-scale invasion of my people, and the other party is so powerful that my mother was forced to send me away alone. Because of the special situation, I can't tell you what exactly is in my body, and if you choose to adopt me, it is equivalent to adopting a disaster star, because those people will find me if they are late, so, uncle, I'm sorry. After saying that, Di Zimo's heart blamed himself to the extreme.
Mu Zhichen even collapsed on the sofa, his face full of shock: "It turns out, is this the case..."
Bai Lingyi looked into the distance, and a pair of clear pink eyes seemed to reflect the entire capital city. In fact, the distance between the balcony and the living room was not too far, and as long as she used a little mental power, she could easily hear the conversation between Di Zimo and the others, but she didn't do it.
"Liu'er, it's all over, don't condemn yourself anymore, because it's not your fault in the first place, and my uncle swears that he will never let you be hurt again. And through these eight years of hard work, my uncle has also saved a lot of savings, which can allow you to live a good life, and when the time comes, my uncle will resign from this job and take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers. Although you and I are not related by blood, you are my only relative in this world, so promise my uncle to stay. Mu Zhichen, who has always been calm and steady, has already had tears in his eyes at this time.
Di Zimo raised his head in disbelief and asked, "Uncle, don't you blame me?"
Mu Zhichen smiled and touched his head: "Silly boy, how can my uncle blame you? Then, give your uncle an answer." ”
“...”
"I'm sorry uncle, they have to die. ”
Looking at Di Zimo, who was extremely determined in front of him, Mu Zhichen's heart trembled, and he said helplessly: "You still have to take revenge after all." ”
"Uncle, I once watched my parents die in front of me, that feeling of powerlessness really made me very painful, I couldn't do anything, I could only stand there like a useless fool, so I wouldn't choose to escape, I would avenge this revenge no matter what! Not to mention, I had to rescue my own biological parents. Please rest assured, uncle, I am now studying at Tianming Academy, I am no longer as cowardly as before, I have the ability to protect myself, and the ability to protect you!" Di Zimo said.
Mu Zhichen was stunned for a few seconds, and then smiled: "You really look like a little adult, okay, uncle respects your choice, but the premise is that you must protect yourself, you know?"
"By the way, who is this beautiful little girl you?" Mu Zhichen suddenly looked at Bai Lingyi and asked.
"It's my classmate, and it's my good buddy. ”
Mu Zhichen couldn't help but smile slyly: "Is it just this kind of relationship?"
"Uh... Otherwise, it could be... What kind of relationship?"
"Okay, Uncle understands. Liu'er, I haven't eaten soup and chicken for a long time, right? How about Uncle make it for you now?"
After hearing this, Di Zimo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, okay, I'm sorry for you, uncle." ”
Mu Zhichen stood up and called out to Bai Lingyi on the balcony: "Yiyi, you come out, I have a few words to say to you." ”
"Come on, Master Mu. ”
