So dark.
As Song Yao walked in the darkness alone, she couldn't see the light in front or behind him, nor could she see the end of it. It was as if she had fallen into an endless abyss and she was the only one left in this world.
There stood a person. When that person turned around, Song Yao was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly shouting: "Father!"
Tears welled up in his eyes.
"Daddy!"
she cried again, throwing herself into the man's arms.
"Little Dong." It was a very gentle voice. With a little sigh, he gently embraced her in his arms.
Song Yao cried out loud: "I'm sorry! "I'm sorry!"
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder and she turned. It was her mother.
"Mom!" she shouted excitedly, disbelief written all over her face.
"Mom!" She confirmed it again.
The woman looked at her with a loving smile and asked, "Dong Dong, how are you doing?"
"Alright!" She answered immediately, "I'm very good, very good, but I miss you all very much!"
His mother said, "Haha, we, Dong Dong, have missed you too. Weren't you the one who hated us for taking care of you the most in the past?"
"It's my fault." She hurriedly said, "I admit my wrongs, change my mind, can you guys come back? I miss you guys, I love you guys, I want to have a home, a home like how it was before."
"Little Dong, there are many things that can't be helped. The past is the past after all. You have to be strong and live on."
"I don't want to!" She shouted, "I don't want to! I don't want to see you guys again. I miss you guys, I want to make up for my mistakes, and I want to love you guys! "
"Dong Dong, do you know you're wrong?" the mother asked.
She was silent for a long time before suddenly opening her mouth and saying: "Yes, I was wrong, I was wrong too much. You obviously love me that much, so why do I feel like you guys don't love me? Why am I so stupid? "
"Why am I... It will harm you all. "
She squatted down and hugged herself and sobbed. The top of his head was covered with a palm. "Don't cry, we didn't blame you. You are our child, and loving you is what we should do."
"Sorry …" "Sorry, sorry …" She sobbed and repented for her fault.
"It's not your fault …" That's life. " Mom said.
"We have never blamed you, nor will we blame you. We only hope that you can live well, live well with us, take good care of yourself, and let us feel at ease."
She suddenly stretched out her hand to grip her mother's hand tightly. "I don't want to, I don't want to be alone, I don't want to, I want to be together with you, I want …"
Before she could finish, the two men started to leave her. She kept on screaming as she chased, but even though she ran very fast, the two of them were still retreating at high speed.
"Take good care of yourself, don't make us worry …" Those were the last words she heard.
He was pleasantly surprised. Before the tears had dried from the corners of his eyes, a person who was sitting by the side saw that she had woken up and asked: "How do you feel? Is there something wrong? "
A splitting headache came upon him.
She sat up. The dream was so realistic that she couldn't react in an instant.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? You don't recognize me after sleeping? " Gongsun Xiao asked with a smile.
The corner of Song Yao's mouth twitched, and she laughed: "It's you!"
She remembered, she was Song Yao now. That woman called Lin Chudong was probably already dead, and her body should have already been taken care of by the funeral home. That body must have already turned into a few handfuls of ashes. No one would show up for her funeral. No one would cry for her. She would quietly leave that world.
The only surprising thing was that her soul had accidentally wandered into another space.
Then we should make good use of it and live a new life, shouldn't we? she thought.
"Why do you say this as if you are very disappointed? Who do you want to be with? Is that the person you were calling out in your dreams? "
Song Yao was startled, "The person I shouted in my dreams? "Who is it?"
"What father, mother's …"
Song Yao laughed, "They are my family, I miss them a little."
Gongsun Xiao understood, and handed the pill on the table over to Song Yao: The doctor said that you are emotionally agitated and that you would become like that, this is a Spirit-Calming Medicine, drink it.
Song Yao said: "I never thought that you would see my ugliest appearance."
Gongsun Xiao said: "I feel that during the few days I lived in your house, the way you didn't comb your hair nor wash your face was the ugliest part. You look many times better now."
"Puff …" Song Yao almost spurted out the medicine in his mouth, she choked for a while and coughed a few times, the bitter taste in his mouth immediately spread out, making her feel extremely bitter.
Gongsun Xiao took away the bowl in her hands, handed over a candied fruit, and said: "Stop it."
Song Yao took it, put it into her mouth, and swallowed it after taking a few bites.
"Why are you so excited? Don't tell me you think that you look very good?" he joked.
Song Yao waved his hand: "I do not dare, why would I dare to mention looks in front of you?"
Gongsun Xiao passed the medicine bowl back to her: "Your words confused me. Am I not handsome enough?"
Song Yao's hand that was holding the bowl swayed and the medicine almost spilled out.
"Never mind, I won't talk to you for now. Drink the medicine first." Otherwise, we'll have to endure it once more and exhaust ourselves. "
"You made it?" Song Yao drank all of the medicine in one go, and quickly ate a mouthful of the candied fruits, as she asked vaguely with a hint of surprise.
Gongsun Xiao took her bowl: "What are you thinking? Currently, there is no one who can let me boil some medicine for her. "
Song Yao laughed loudly: "Then I won't worry, what if you hurt me? like, give me arsenic or something. "
"If I wanted to kill you, why expend so much effort? As long as I can frame a crime against you and kill you, it would only last for an instant."
"Oh?" Song Yao laughed, "Is he that powerful? Then why didn't you kill me? "
"Why should I kill you?" Gongsun Xiao said.
"Haha …" Song Yao took another piece of preserves, it was actually a little sour, but the layer of honey on the outside was too thick and sticky, so the sweetness was too strong, and it could only be taste sour if you taste it carefully.
This kind of sweet and sour feeling really made Song Yao infatuated.
Not long after, she finished the candied fruits on the plate. She was not satisfied yet, so she licked the honey on her hands.
The candied fruits that she had previously eaten were actually called dried fruits, they were mainly sour and sour. It was just that Gongsun Xiao had put a lot of honey here and had turned sweet and tasty.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …" Gongsun Xiao could not bear to watch: "Why are you so petty, if you still want to eat, just ask me for it, why do you have to jump in your fingers. Look at you, not like the dog the housekeeper has. "
Song Yao was suspicious: "You guys still have dogs here?"
Gongsun Xiao said helplessly: "How is it that I don't have any?"
