There are a few changes at the end of the previous chapter, so it's OK for everyone to go back and take a look.

————————

Dad, long time no see, can you hug me - when this sentence sounded in Shao Dongxu's ears, he didn't know how to think.

I thought that the daughter who had passed away with his deceased wife a long time ago, and I thought that it was a face and a voice that I would never be able to meet in this life, but at this time, it was really presented in front of him and resounded in his ears.

Shocked, joyful, confused, dazed...... Countless complex emotions exploded in Shao Dongxu's mind, making him not know what expression or reaction to make.

He just stood in place stunned, looking at Yao Yanyan with unblinking eyes, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of what he had encountered at this time, and he hadn't moved for a long time.

Until Yao Yanyan smiled again and took a step towards him.

At this moment, Shao Dongxu's mind thought of a scene that had been separated for more than ten years.

At that time, he was just an ordinary man who pursued ethereal dreams every day, and despite this, he also had a gentle wife and a lovely daughter.

Every time he came home, he could always see his wife's gentle smiling face and a table full of food, as well as his daughter who shouted "Daddy" and rushed to him to hug him.

Gradually, the daughter's immature face and the smile in front of her coincided.

Shao Dongxu suddenly found that no wonder he felt very cordial when he saw Yao Yanyan for the first time, and no wonder he favored and took care of her without reason.

It turns out that there is a certain number in the dark, and Yao Yanyan seems to have known each other's identities for a long time.

Can...... If that's the case, why hasn't she said it all of a sudden?

Surprise and doubts popped up in his heart together, and Shao Dongxu at this time couldn't care about the environment he was in, let alone the energy to think about the messy questions in his mind.

Looking at Yao Yanyan, who was walking towards him step by step, he just wanted to hold his daughter in his arms like he had not seen for more than ten years.

But how could he have imagined that it was a sharp blade that came before his daughter's arms.

When the cold pain came from his chest, Shao Dongxu's body suddenly froze in place, motionless like a sculpture.

Then, like a rusty robot, he struggled to lower his head.

In his violently trembling gaze, he saw a kitchen knife stuck in his chest, and Yao Yanyan's hands were still holding the hilt.

Unbelievable emotions exploded in his mind, and the colors of despair and fear crawled all over Shao Dongxu's face in an instant.

He seemed to be in disbelief what he was seeing...... Obviously, it should be the warm embrace of her daughter who has been absent for more than ten years, but why, at this time, it is a knife inserted in her chest?

"Ahhh......hh

The severe pain spread from the heart, and this pain implicated all the nerves in the whole body in an instant, making Shao Dongxu involuntarily open his mouth and let out a cry of pain.

A cold sense of near-death enveloped Shao Dongxu's world, and he let out a dry low roar from his mouth, staggered backwards, and finally sat down on the ground with a "bang".

Shao Dongxu looked blankly at the knife stuck in his chest, and saw that his suit was dark red with blood, so he looked up at Yao Yanyan again, and made a hoarse sound between the collision of pale lips.

"For ...... Why ......"

His question was destined to go unanswered.

Facing Shao Dongxu, who was on the verge of death, Yao Yanyan still maintained enough calm.

She took two steps forward, raised her hand to grasp the hilt of the knife, and then forcefully pulled the fruit knife out of Shao Dongxu's chest.

"Poof—"

A stream of blood arrows shot out, staining the gorgeous stage red, and also staining Yao Yanyan's clothes.

"That way, my mom should be able to look down there."

The cold aura of death and the rapid passage of physical strength made it difficult for Shao Dongxu's will to support his body anymore.

With a "bang", he completely lay on the ground, but he still looked at Yao Yanyan with his neck and wide eyes.

But Yao Yanyan didn't look at him again, she just looked down at the bloodstained fruit knife in her hand, and muttered: "Because she refused to divorce you, that woman killed my mother, I originally wanted to send you two to see my mother together, but since she went first, she can only look for you...... Well, in this way, Mom should be able to look at it. ”

Hearing this, Shao Dongxu, who was already dying, trembled violently, and even the fear and despair in his eyes also trembled.

Immediately after, sadness and relief filled his eyes.

Shao Dongxu stretched out his trembling right hand towards Yao Yanyan, his pale lips kept opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something, but his rapidly blurred consciousness no longer allowed him to make any more sounds.

Until the end, he happily closed his eyes, until the world was completely dark, and his mind was still thinking of his happiest past.

……

In the summer of more than 20 years ago, compared to the magic capital as the economic center, the imperial capital may not be the most prosperous, but it is definitely the most solemn city.

How many people go to the big city one after another, in order to pursue their ethereal but incomparably beautiful dreams in their short lives.

There is such a young man, he came to the imperial capital after graduating from college and became a member of the "North Drift".

Like many young people, teenagers have had a dream of stardom since they were young, and even pestered their parents to pay for themselves to take professional music lessons when they were in middle school.

But it's a pity that having a dream and having the ability are two different things, and the teenager's talent in music is not outstanding, and he only learned basic singing skills and guitar playing skills after a long period of study.

Subsequently, his parents stopped letting him take music lessons on the grounds that he was not talented.

However, although the boy is not talented, he has good perseverance, and although his teachers are not optimistic about him and his parents are not supportive of him, he still seizes all the time he can to practice his favorite music.

In this way, he has been training from middle school to university, due to his average academic performance, he was not admitted to his favorite conservatory, but he was still not discouraged, but joined a music club after entering the university.

Every day, in addition to attending classes, he discusses music with his classmates in the same club, sings and plays together, and sometimes goes to the street to sing.

For the boy, although he was still a little confused about the future during that time, he was still happy and fulfilling.

This lasted for four years, and after graduating from college, the boy resolutely came to the imperial capital.

He first rented a small house with the savings he had saved from four years of college, then found a simple job, and would go to the park to sing with his guitar every day after work.

One, two, three...... One month, two months, three months......

This kind of days lasted for half a year, and gradually, the pressure of life began to make the teenager feel lost about the future.

Every day when he wakes up, he will get up from bed in a hurry, and after washing, he will go to squeeze the bus and subway.

In order to be deducted from his salary for being late, he often didn't even have time to sit down for breakfast, and every day he simply ate a sandwich on the commute, and then hurried to the company, and then faced endless work, intrigue between colleagues, and the blows and squeezing of leaders.

In just half a year, the young man who once had a dream full of sunshine has been smoothed out by life.

He became more and more numb, and only the time when he went to the park to sing with his guitar in his hand after work made him feel alive.

But after a long time, even his favorite music could not make him feel relieved and reassured.

So he began to wonder to himself – am I really not musically talented? Am I wrong to insist? If I used the time I spent playing and singing after work to do other part-time jobs, would my life be better? Even if I go home directly, will I be able to live a more relaxed life?

One questioning voice after another appeared in the young man's heart, and the tight thread in his mind was about to break, and once it broke, it meant that the dream he had held on to for many years would come to naught in an instant.

It was also at this time that the maiden appeared.

The first time the two met was in the park where the boy played and sang every day, and that day, the boy came to the park with his guitar as usual after work.

He thought, let's play and sing this song one last time, and after this time, give up that ridiculous musical dream.

With this in mind, he slowly finished playing and singing, and just as he put away his guitar and was about to leave, a clear and beautiful voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Are you leaving?"

The boy looked up and saw a young girl standing in front of him at some point.

She is not very beautiful, but she is set off like a fairy out of the dust in the sunset on the horizon.

The boy wanted to respond, but found that his heartbeat was a little faster, so he could only lower his head and say "um".

Then the girl said, "You used to sing for at least an hour every time, why are you going to leave today after only singing one song?" Is there something going on? ”

The girl's words made the boy realize that she had been listening to her own singing all this time, otherwise how could she know that she sang for at least an hour every time she came?

This made the boy's already fast heartbeat even faster.

"It's nothing, it's just that no one wants to listen to me sing, I ...... I've been busy at work, so I thought I'd come and sing in the future......"

"Why doesn't anyone want to hear you sing? I come to hear you sing every day. ”

"Really?"

"Really, like this is the first song you sang yesterday...... The first song sung the day before yesterday was this...... And the day before yesterday......"

Listening to the girl say the songs she had sung these days, the young man's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He naturally began to chat with the girl, discussing things about music, but the girl didn't understand that, she just liked to sing, so the boy began to complain again, saying that he obviously had more pursuit of music than anyone else, but now he had to bow his head under the pressure of life.

At this time, the girl stood up and said to him with a smile on her face, "As long as you are willing to sing, I am willing to listen to your song forever." ”

At this moment, the girl was no longer a fairy in the eyes of the teenager, but became an angel.

Like every couple of lovers who fall in love, they quickly came together, and it didn't take long for them to become husband and wife, and they had a lovely little daughter.

He named his daughter Shao Yan, hoping that she would smile like a flower every day.

However, although life after marriage is satisfying, the pressure of life is still increasing day by day.

Men have thought more than once that they should give up music, so that they can concentrate more on their work and make their wives less tired.

But at this time, his wife would hug him gently, and then express her support and optimism for him with soft words.

She said that she believes that one day men will get ahead and become the brightest star on the screen.

In this way, with the support of his wife, the man strengthened his dream, singing everywhere day after day, only hoping that God would favor him.

In the process, he saw his wife's hard work in his eyes, so the guilt became more and more.

He thought that when he became a big star, he must wear the most beautiful clothes for his wife and children and live in the biggest house.

Finally, one day, the man who was stationed at the tavern was taken by a woman, and she offered to give the man a chance to stand out.

The surprise came so suddenly that the man agreed almost without much thought, and then he participated in the talent show under the arrangement of the woman, and became a well-known singer in one fell swoop.

He began to appear frequently in the public eye, participated in various activities, and was taken by women to attend various high-end venues and banquets.

It wasn't until the woman said her true intentions that she had fallen in love with him and hoped to marry him, that he found that he could no longer break free from the invisible shackles around him.

Not knowing how to face his wife and daughter, he chose to escape.

However, the strong woman did not allow him to drag it on forever.

The man didn't know what she did, only that on his daughter's birthday, he hid in the woman's house for a whole day and didn't go out, but the woman went out at night.

And since that day, the woman has never forced him to divorce.

The man was relieved, but at the same time a little puzzled, so he secretly went back to the house to take a look, only to find that the house had long been empty.

It wasn't until the neighbor told him to mourn with a look of regret after seeing him that the man knew what he had lost without knowing it.

He didn't expect why his wife and daughter died in a car accident suddenly, but the intense pain still made it difficult for him to recover for a long time.

In this process, it was the woman who stayed by his side and slowly walked into his heart, and he finally got out of the pain, married the woman, and gave birth to the second child in his life.

When more than half of his life has passed, men will also dream back to more than ten years ago, and they can't sleep all night in the pain of losing their loved ones.

He thought that all this was a trick of fate, but only now did he realize that it was no one else who created all this, but himself.

……

"I'm sorry ......"

The man used all his strength to make the last voice in this life, and finally fell into complete silence.
