Ch 63

Chapter 63

"Father misses you very much."

Song knew what a night of emotion the man had experienced. At this moment, he couldn't understand the weight and emotion contained in these words.

In her eyes, it was Zhou Yan, who was fine last night, who suddenly came back this morning and hugged his daughter in his arms.

A little inexplicable, worrying.

Song Zhi was stunned for a long while, just like Zhou Yan who couldn't understand the phrase "I need Dad very much" that night, she could only respond passively.

"But, we just met last night."

She asked strangely and concernedly, "Dad, have you encountered any problems?"

This reminded Zhou Yan of playing "Shawshank's Redemption" to her daughter at that time My own, sad and happy.

Sad that they did not know each other when they met, and happy with her daughter's hard-to-hidden concern.

Maybe on that day, Song Zhi was as happy as he is at this moment. For a moment, Zhou Yan empathized with his daughter, and felt that the distance between them was one step closer.

The man was immersed in his thoughts and didn't answer for a long time.

Song Zhi was even more worried, and after a moment of silence, she simply said, "Father, tell me frankly. Is our family bankrupt, or did you do something illegal?"

Zhou Yan paused, and then let go of her daughter. "What are you thinking about?"

He calmed down his excessive emotions and explained seriously: "There is nothing, don't think about it." "

Really?"

Song Zhi seemed suspicious, "Then why do you look like you want to spend the rest of your life after a catastrophe? Looks like you are running away."

Looking into the girl's smiling eyes, Zhou Yan realized that it was a joke, and the daughter was just trying to make him happy.

He lowered his eyes and chuckled, sighed again, and finally said with emotion: "It is indeed a difficult problem, but it is also a great good thing." "

What a good thing, so scary."

Song Zhi said: "Dad, you just rushed Come over and hug me, and say you miss me, I really thought something bad happened to you!"

As if she had lingering fears, she paused for a moment, and said one more question worriedly: "Is it really all right? Dad, if something happens, I hope you don't hide it from me. You can trust me just like I trust you." The daughter

's The concern is so sincere, the concern for him is obvious. Moreover, Zhou Yan remembered that she did trust herself and opened her heart to herself.

Then shouldn't he be honest with her?

The reason for the current absurd situation is that the two daughters don't know the truth.

As long as he said it, all the absurdity would end.

But, will the warmth between their father and daughter at this moment come to an abrupt end?

After all, the origin of everything is that he and Song Yumo cruelly separated and concealed them. Daughters who passively suffer the consequences have reason to hate them and not forgive them.

The eagerness brought by the sincerity in Song Zhi's eyes, and the reluctance to lose because of the fear of losing, saw and saw in Zhou Yan's heart at the same time.

He seemed to have returned to the empty and desolate street last night, his mind was overwhelmed, there were forks all around, and he couldn't find a correct direction at all.

In the end, the man pressed his temples and gave an ambiguous answer: "Let Dad think about it." This

is not a simple matter that can be casually announced. He is emotionally turbulent and physically exhausted at the moment, and it is really not a decision opportunity.

Whether you confess or not, at least you should not make a hasty decision at this second.

"Okay."

Song Zhi knew that "it's not easy to speak up", so he didn't ask the bottom line.

She smiled slightly at her father, and only said: "As long as Dad remembers that I still have this tree hole."

The daughter's smile caught her eyes, and Zhou Yan's heart, which had been boiling all night, finally gradually calmed down.

"Dad will." He smiled back.

And Song Zhi glanced sideways at the time, his complexion suddenly changed.

"Oops, I'm going to be late!" She hurried to the entrance, then turned her head and said to him, "I have to go out first, Dad, take a good rest." "Wait a little later,

I have a surprise for you!" The girl Leaving this sentence, he left in a hurry.

Like every day for two months.

The father and daughter would always talk about the trivialities of life in the early morning, and then they would naturally rush to this new day, and finally they would meet again at night.

Zhou Yan stared at the door, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the daily routine became precious.

He hoped that the past two months, the moment just now, could really become a daily routine in the future.

Song Zhi noticed Zhou Yan's abnormality, but didn't think much about it.

For one thing, today she made an appointment for the test of subject four, and she is about to successfully get her driver's license. The urgency of the exam time and the joy of "graduating" soon left her no time to think about other things.

Secondly, on the way to the driving school, she suddenly received a call from Song Yumo.

On the empty bus, Song Zhi looked down at the incoming call reminder, completely forgetting about Zhou Yan.

The phone vibrates in the palm of his hand, and the word "Mom" on the screen pierces his eyes.

The breakup on that day is still vivid in my memory, Song Yumo has always been colder and stronger, never bowed her head and never gave her tenderness.

Now that the matter has come to an end, why did she suddenly call at this irreversible moment?

Song Zhining focused on "Mom" and was shaken for a moment.

But in the end, she coldly refused. And, this string of numbers with this name is permanently added to the blacklist.

No matter what reason and purpose Song Yumo had, it was no longer important.

Because Song Zhi doesn't care anymore.

She said goodbye, she did what she said.

Song Zhi looked out the window, took a deep breath, and immediately clicked on the question bank for the fourth subject.

She forgot about the call and returned to her own life, to the previous reality.

At the same time, Song Yumo on the other end was slightly distracted listening to the busy tone from the phone.

In fact, she thought about it for a long time before making this call.

After parting with Zhou Yan in the early hours of last night, she was hesitating whether she should tell Song Zhi.

Although their mother and daughter broke up unhappy that day, and their daughter was so determined to break up, Song Yumo still dialed the number.

In fact, when she pressed the "Dial" button, she hadn't even figured out what to say to Song Zhi.

Is it just to remind her that Zhou Yan has already found out about the exchange, or should he just pretend to be a villain and reveal the whole truth?

Unexpectedly, Song Zhi directly refused to listen to her call.

If it was the past, Song Yumo wouldn't fight again, but today, she did.

What responded to her was a hurried busy tone, that kind of continuous harsh busy tone that was blocked.

In an instant, Song Yumo's fearful premonition came true.

The daughter is not acting on her own will, she is serious, and she wants to make a clean break with herself.

Song Yumo stared at the string of numbers suddenly.

After a long time, she put down her phone and gave up the idea of ​​telling Song Zhi.

In fact, Song Zhi and Zhou Yan admire and like each other, perhaps, this is a subject that belongs to their father and daughter.

It might be better, she thought, not to intervene.

After Zhou Yan's daughter left home, he fell tired and fell asleep.

His high-pitched nerves were relaxed, and he soon fell into endless dreams.

He dreamed of Song Zhi, Song Zhi who had been by his side since he was a child.

In the dream, his daughter was very similar to him, rational and organized, a young adult.

But she is a bit withdrawn, because her interests and hobbies are very different from those of girls of the same age. She likes cars and always spends time in the company's vehicle assembly room.

He will be by his daughter's side when she is confused and sad, and tell her that she is not wrong and that she is a unique treasure in the world.

The little girl is brave and determined.

Even though others regarded her as a different kind, she firmly walked in the direction of choice.

At the end of the dream, Song Zhi was admitted to her favorite mechanical school of T University. The moment she got the notice, she rushed upstairs in surprise and wanted to be the first to share it with him.

knock knock -

The knock on the door was urgent and exciting, showing the girl's mood at this moment.

Zhou Yan couldn't wait to open the door to congratulate his daughter and share the joy with her.

However, he couldn't reach that door no matter what, as if there was an invisible wall blocking them.

While anxious, Zhou Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

Knock, knock, knock -

and the knock on the door really came from the front.

After a moment of daze, he instinctively got up and got out of bed, and opened the door.

Then the daughter actually stood outside the door, looking at him with beaming brows.

The four eyes are facing each other.

Song Zhi waved her driver's license and said excitedly, "Surprise! I'm here to take Dad for a ride!"

Zhou Yanding looked at the girl, in a daze, unable to tell whether this was reality or a dream.

He stared into his daughter's smiling eyes, unable to recover for a while.

"Dad?"

Until Song Zhi called him again, "Have you not slept enough? Sorry, I am so happy that I want to share it with you right away, without thinking too much..." She tentatively asked: "If you want to

sleep , shall I go for a walk by myself first?"

Zhou Yan was sober for a moment.

"No." He agreed without thinking, "Of course it's more important to go for a ride with you. I'll go downstairs right away after Dad cleans up for a few minutes." "

Then I'll wait for you in the garage!"

Song Zhi rushed to the car excitedly A dusty pink Ferrari.

The moment she got into the cockpit, she was actually a little nervous.

Even though she has already driven countless times on the club's track, taking Zhou Yan for a ride has a special meaning to her.

Zhou Yan was the enlightener who led her into this realm, and also the father she dreamed of.

From the time a man told her at the Silverstone Circuit, "F1 racing is rational romance and the most cutting-edge art", to the time when she was admitted to the Mechanical Engineering Institute of T University, and now she is personally controlling the steering wheel he gave her, Song Zhi had a wonderful life. shore illusion.

An illusion that the lamp bearer has led her to the end of the journey and is about to part.

But she was not as sad as she was when she was about to leave last time. When Zhou Yan sat down beside Song Zhi, she even felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Song Zhiyang looked at the man, and said briskly: "Congratulations, I finally succeeded in driving a Ferrari. How about we go to dinner first, and the destination is determined by my father. At two o'clock in the afternoon, she was waiting for her driver's license

. Both of them missed lunch.

She thought the man would choose a restaurant that was closer, but she heard him say: "Go to T University, is that okay? "

"Huh? Song Zhi was very surprised: "Is it a little far away?"

But Zhou Yan teased her: "Why, a novice is starting out, so he has no confidence. " "

Song Zhi stared at his father, always feeling that he didn't choose this destination for no reason, but he seemed unwilling to tell her.

"OK, then let you take a good look at my confidence!" She didn't ask any further questions, and rushed into the scorching sun with the accelerator. In the

hot and quiet afternoon, the shadows of the trees above her head swayed, and the golden light leaked on her body.

Zhou Yan looked sideways at her lively and flying daughter, who looked reckless and courageous in her car. , exactly the same as in his dream. He has a lot of things he wants to say to her, but actually sitting next to her, but feels as if just watching her quietly and being with her is enough luxury. The wind keeps

flowing , but time seemed to stop.

Zhou Yan kept staring at his daughter with burning eyes, as if he wanted to make up for all the lost years. It was

impossible for Song Zhi to be unaware of such warm and strange eyes.

At first, she He thought it was the father who saw his daughter suddenly driving him, and felt the child grow up strangely, so it was normal to look at him carefully. But gradually, when the journey was halfway through, the man was still staring at her. Song Zhi could no

longer Ignore.

With a traffic light, she looked sideways at Zhou Yan's eyes: "Dad, what happened to you today? Why do you keep looking at me like this?

She asked seriously: "Could it be that you really want to leave me? " "

Zhou Yan hesitated to speak, and finally looked away.

Song Zhi began to worry sincerely, so he simply found a place and stopped the car.

Then she asked: "Dad, do you know why I took you for a ride as soon as I got my driver's license without even eating?" "

Why?" Zhou Yan asked.

Song Zhi looked at him for a while, and then said: "Because Dad made me interested in cars, and you are the light that led me into this field. I feel that I have begun to walk into Dad's world." She told him: "

I I can't wait to share it with you, I want to be side by side with you."

Zhou Yan only felt a heat in his chest, like hot sunlight penetrating his heart.

At the moment when he learned that his daughter was applying for the Mechanical Engineering Department of T University, he had imagined that he might have a little influence from himself. I never expected that I would actually hear her say, "Father is the light that leads her forward."

It's all worth it.

At this moment, Zhou Yan only had this one thought, no matter whether his daughter would hate him in the future, it was already worth it.

"So, dad, can you tell me what happened so that I can really enter your world?"

When Song Zhi asked again, he couldn't keep silent.

The Adam's apple rolled slightly, Zhou Yan looked sideways at Song Zhi's eyes, and said, "Your mother is back, do you want to see her?"
