Halfway through the drive, I ran into the Rolls-Royce of Ma Bailong. It turned out that he had gone out very early. Now he came to pick up Xueqi, because he was worried that I would be in poor health and something might happen to drive.

rain.

There is rain everywhere.

The rain all over the world seemed to be concentrated in this city. I opened the car door and walked out of the car with a black umbrella. The wind was strong, and the rain splashed out rain flowers on the tip of my shoes. On both sides of the road, there were leaves flying.

It's another rainy day.

It's the same umbrella again.

It seems that every parting in my life cannot be separated from the rain and this umbrella.

The time I parted with Xueqi when I was a child was working, the time I parted with confinement, and the time I parted with my sister Moli, who was staying in my house, was the same.

A feeling that had been in my heart for a long time slowly surged into my heart, as if I had accidentally discovered candy falling under the foot of the table.

A few particles of rain were blown by the wind and fell on Xueqi's hair, leaving drops of pearl-like water droplets. I moved the umbrella to Xueqi and wiped the rain from her hair with my hands to prevent her body from getting wet.

It’s like a mother dressing up her married daughter in a beautiful manner and giving it to someone else.

The silver Rolls-Royce stopped in front of us, the water on the road rippled slightly, and the shadows of people and cars gradually distorted.

The car door opened, Ma Bailong walked out with a white umbrella, and he walked up to Xueqi and me and looked at us quietly.

"Qiqi." I urged Xueqi softly, and Xueqi lowered her head, said nothing, and said nothing.

She hasn't said a word since she went back to her room last night.

Xueqi is very beautiful today. She is wearing a sun hat, which is her favorite. She is also wearing a white dress, and her black hair is draped over her shoulders like silk, like a fairy in the rain.

I tried hard to keep myself smiling, walked forward, and shook hands with Ma Bailong.

"Uncle Yang, the time is almost over." Ma Bailong looked at his watch and said to me.

"Yeah." I handed Xueqi's suitcase to him. Ma Bailong tried to stuff it into the car and walked back. I saw that his face was covered with rain.

Xueqi was still silent, without saying a word, and didn't know what she was thinking.

"Qiqi, it's almost time, let's go." I patted her back, "It's raining so hard, get in the car quickly, otherwise I'll be wet."

"Um."

Xueqi nodded softly, not looking at me, but just stood there for three seconds. Then she finally didn't look back and walked towards Ma Bailong's car in a small step, and sat in the back seat.

The car door is closed.

Ma Bailong still grabbed the umbrella and stood there looking at me, and I also looked at him quietly.

"Uncle Yang." Ma Bailong looked at me, his eyes were dark, and he wanted to say something, but he seemed to have no idea what to say.

As the ultimate winner who took my daughter away from me, there is no need to say anything more.

"Yeah." I looked at him and just nodded, and I didn't know what to say.

Because I want to say too much.

Finally, I just looked at him and said expressionlessly:

"You must take good care of Qiqi. From now on, she will be yours. She is very weak, timid and afraid, and has no good social experience. If she makes any mistakes, don't blame her."

Ma Bailong smiled and looked at me and said:

"Don't worry, Uncle Yang, I will treat Xueqi well. She is your daughter and my beloved girl. I will use my life to be nice to her."

"So, that's it. Uncle Yang, we're leaving. You have nothing to explain, right?"

My body stiffened.

At that moment, I was really heartbroken and my whole body was trembling slightly in the cold rain.

I really seem to say I don't want to.

I really don't want to hand over Xueqi.

However, for the sake of Xueqi, I can only hand her over to someone else.

Finally, I was relieved.

"No more, you guys go. Be careful on the road." I said so. "By the way, I seem to see Qiqi's hat tilted. You call her Zheng Yizheng." I nodded my head and said.

It's so strange. It's obviously the last moment, but I care about such irrelevant trivial matters, and I really don't know what's wrong with me.

"Okay, then I'll take her away." Ma Bailong said, and finally glanced at me, then turned around apologetically, and walked towards the seat step by step.

When I closed the door, I saw Xueqi's face pressing against the car window. Behind the car window that was wet by the rain, a pair of big eyes were quietly looking at me, but she didn't say a word.

I didn't say a word either.

Just looking at her quietly.

In this game, I am a loser, and the loser can only bear the pain of giving up and handing over my beloved girl.

This is the outcome of the loser.

I squeezed out a smile at Xueqi, then slowly raised my hand and gave me a thumbs up.

I saw Xueqi pressing against the car window, her lips squirming slightly, as if she was talking, but I could no longer hear it.

Xueqi used her slender fingers to gently draw two human faces on the rain-covered car window.

I saw that it was a small face, a big face, smiling brightly under the big sun.

Seeing these two faces, my heart suddenly trembled.

I seemed to remember something.

By the way.

That was when Xueqi had not yet been to kindergarten. One day, because I didn’t come back very late, Xueqi drew a painting at home and showed it to me after I came back.

It was Xue Qi's tender handwriting, and she painted a big sun, an adult and a villain. Below the man is the words written by Qi Qi with colored pen:

papa         Qiqi

Together forever...

At that time, I patted Xueqi's head with some guilt and said, "I'm sorry, Papa is late, I will definitely come back on time in the future. Don't worry, Papa will definitely be with Qiqi forever."

My eyes were wet, tears flowed out of my eyes without any warning, and the whole world became blurred.

The wind started to make a big frantically, and the falling raindrops turned into slashes in the air, like countless meteors passing through the sky.

meteor……

I remembered again,

There was once a summer night full of stars. Xueqi and I were lying on the grass beside the small country bridge, looking up at the night sky with stars, listening to the trickling sound of water, gradually falling asleep.

"Look, it's a meteor!"

Inadvertently, Xueqi suddenly pointed at the sky and shouted excitedly.

"Papa, I want to make a wish!"

While speaking, he even closed his hands cutely and began to pray.

Looking at Xue Qi's cute look in her eyes and praying, I asked happily: "What wish did you make?"

Xueqi opened her eyes, looked at me with bright eyes, paused for a long time before she said naively: "Well... I want to make a wish that I can see my mother."

When I heard Xueqi's words, my heart immediately ached.

After so many years, Xueqi still misses her mother.

"...But it is said on TV that you can only make one wish to meteors, so Qiqi makes a wish to be with Papa forever!" Xueqi suddenly said again.

Xueqi's words immediately made my nose slightly sore and my eyes moist.

"Qiqi..."

I looked at Xueqi and suddenly realized that I had never really understood her. I had her body, but I never penetrated into her heart.

"Papa, why do the stars flash? Why?" After making a wish, Xueqi asked me naively again.

"Because the stars are Papa's eyes, they look at Qiqi."

"Papa is lying to the truth, why!"

"hehe."

"Why!"

"……hehe."

"Why, papa?"

“…”

That night, Xueqi pouted and hit me with her little mouth and asked me unwillingly, but I just laughed and looked at the starry sky without answering. Gradually, Xueqi got tired of making trouble and lay in my arms and fell asleep.

At that moment, there was silence everywhere, only the sound of streams and insects, and a trace of warmth lying in my arms accompanied me.

But I feel like I have everything in the world.
