11:00 pm.

Xia Xiaoxi's home.

Xia Xiaoxi thanked all these people who had never known her for everything they did, but for all this, she could only regard it as a beautiful dream because she was not qualified to accept it at all.

Yes, all of this is just dreaming.

So Xia Xiaoxi escaped from the birthday party that everyone had carefully prepared.

"It seems that the worst thing happened." Xia Muxi said softly, but she didn't have much concern about Xia Xiaoxi who escaped. "What should I do with the beast? Can you handle the rest? Or is that just that?" Xia Muxi looked at the beast beside her and asked.

And the others were also watching the beasts, waiting for the beasts to react.

"I was mentally prepared by arranging such things. After all, we did this to the bottom of the child's heart." Xia Muxi said. "Although it still had a counterproductive effect, at this moment, the child still needed to overcome it himself, and it was necessary. Otherwise, if it didn't work this time, it would be even more impossible in the future."

"Xiaoxi..."

Xia Xiaoxi's grandmother and mother naturally agreed with what Xia Muxi said. If things were really so easy, they would not accept the proposal for this birthday party, although they knew very well how cruel this proposal was to the child.

But since they have accepted it, they hope that such a group of people can really untie the knot in the child and help the child completely free himself from the shackles of his father's death.

Could it be that this time it still won't work?

"I'll go and have a look." The beast said.

"Go quickly." Liguo urged. "By the way, remember to keep in touch with us at any time, otherwise we will be worried. If you need help, you have to say it. Do you know?"

"Yeah." The beast nodded, then ran out.

"Muxi." Liguo called Xia Muxi thoughtfully.

"Um?"

"Do you say this beast really don't care about that child at all? But it doesn't look like it." Li Guo said her own opinion.

"What about?" Xia Muxi asked deliberately. Because of this, Xia Muxi had actually discovered it for a long time.

"Um..." Li Guo frowned lightly and thought for a moment. "By the way, eyes, expression! When talking about that child, or facing that child, the eyes and expression of the beast are different from usual. Isn't it right, Mu Xi?"

"..." Xia Muxi chuckled when she heard what Li Guo said. "Are you? What we can say doesn't count. If the person involved doesn't realize it, it's meaningless."

"Mu Xi, I knew you must have discovered it a long time ago, so it is just an excuse to find a way to repay favors for the beast, and this birthday party, right? Your real intention is to assist, right? I want the beast and the child to go a step further, right?"

"If Guoguo really said that, then aren't we chess pieces used? Alas, I knew that it would be a bit abnormal to suddenly prepare for a birthday party or something." Su Ya couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Sister Su Ya, don't do this. What if this matter really happens? You're just a credit. Don't you want to see the beast happy?" Li Guo hugged Su Ya intimately and said with a smile.

"How could it be? If I were really like that, I wouldn't have come today." Su Ya smiled.

"I knew Sister Su Ya was the best. When the beast's matter was over, you will be the next one."

"this

Just spare me, my eldest lady.”

"That won't work."

...

One side.

Xia Xiaoxi ran to a stream in the village.

Because she couldn't bear to dirty her beautiful dress, Xia Xiaoxi could only stand like this.

Looking at herself reflected in the stream, Xia Xiaoxi laughed bitterly.

Is that person reflected in the stream her?

With exquisite makeup on her face and luxurious dress, she is completely another person, someone she is not familiar with, right?

Are you really happy?

still……

Feeling ironic?

A night wind blew, blowing away the shadows reflected in the stream.

Xia Xiaoxi suddenly felt a little cold, so she hugged herself tightly with both hands.

Look, what if she is asked to wear such a luxurious dress? Such clothes are not suitable for her at all, and do not belong to her. Even such a slight breeze cannot resist.

"hehe."

Xia Xiaoxi laughed out loud, then looked up at the night sky so far away from him.

Father, I did it right?

Even though everyone has prepared so much for me, I still rejected everyone because I still can't do it, such as celebrating my birthday or something.

after all……

After all, today is the day you leave me.

Grandma said that those who leave will become a star in the sky, and said that when I raise my head and see the brightest star in the night sky, that is you.

Even if you leave, you turn into stars and always look at me and protect me from the sky.

Yeah?

As a result, that's just a way to deceive the child.

Now that I have grown up, it’s time to accept reality.

Father, you must blame me, right? If it weren’t for my willfulness, you wouldn’t have let you die. You and your mother love each other so deeply, but it was me who made you separate forever.

Over the years, I know that my grandma and mother don’t blame me at all, and I hope I can get out of the fact that you left soon, but I can’t do it at all.

Even today, I still can't do it, so I still chose to escape.

Am I a bad boy? Because this will let down the kindness of the people around me and make them feel even more sad.

But even after so many years, I still don’t know what to do. The only thing I can think of is to continue to bear this sin.

Maybe it will continue until the day I die.

Father, is this wrong for me?

Just as Xia Xiaoxi was stunned when she was watching the night sky, a warm suit jacket draped on Xia Xiaoxi.

The familiar smell spread to the tip of the nose again. Even if you don’t have to look back, Xia Xiaoxi knew who the other party was.

"Brother Zero, why are you coming? Actually, you don't have to worry about me at all." Although she said this, Xia Xiaoxi did not take off her suit jacket. Perhaps it was because she was greedy for that warmth.

"Since it's something that cannot be let go, then just don't let it go." The owner of the suit jacket was the beast he was chasing. "If you choose to forget or let go of important things, it may not be a good thing. Just as sometimes the things that trouble you may not be a bad thing."

"You already know about my father, right?" Xia Xiaoxi asked softly.

"Um."

“

So in order to repay my favor, did you ask your friends to prepare this birthday party for me?"

“That’s it.”

"Brother Zero, you are still so direct. But I like this so direct, just like this." Xia Xiaoxi smiled. "It's so good. I have never hoped that one day I could have a dreamy birthday party like today. Now I am really like a princess."

"But it still played a counterproductive role in the end, right?"

"The counter-effect... Maybe, maybe not, but I can't explain it clearly. In short, I know everyone's feelings, including grandma and mother. But, during the year, I can laugh happily for any day, but today is not. My birthday is also the day when my father dies. No matter what, I can't make myself like I usually do."

"I can't say anything about your father, because it has happened after all. I have experienced such things before and have experienced something like this. I hate my incompetence, I hate myself for nothing, and I can only watch the most important person be hurt, tortured, and finally, even disappear from my eyes."

"Then what?"

"Then I swear, I must make myself stronger and stronger. What I lost may never come back, but I must try my best to protect those who are left behind, and I must never let the painful things happen again. Because thinking about it, there is only these things I can do, right? In that case, what reason should I not do it well?"

"Brother Zero, I am indeed not as strong as you, and not as strong as you. However, I want to take care of my grandmother and mother and use my own strength to make them happy. This is sincere and the goal I have been working hard to do."

"That would be enough." As he said that, the beast gently touched Xia Xiaoxi's head. "With the goal and motivation to survive, this is enough."

"Is this really OK?"

"Yeah, that's OK."

"Yeah……"

"Um."

"Even if you continue to be bound by your father's death, even if you are bound for a lifetime, it doesn't matter?"

"Of course it doesn't matter, because that is the proof that you love your father deeply, is it also the proof that your father lives in your heart." The beast's voice was too gentle. "That is the shackle between you and your father. Since it is a shackle, don't let it disappear. This is the right thing, right?"

"Brother Zero..."

The wild beast's too gentle voice came into Xia Xiaoxi's heart bit by bit.

Although Xia Xiaoxi could not let go of her father's death, the beast's words opened the other door of the girl's heart.

From then on, Xia Xiaoxi will become stronger, stronger, and become a better person.

Dong!
