Just as I looked at her quietly, Zheng Qingling grabbed my sleeve and tears fell down: "You are not the one who is trapped in the fog. How do you know my pain? Do you know how hard I work? ? Do you know how tolerant I am? Do you know what I have done for you... Why can't I be the only one? Why..."
I raised my other hand, wanting to touch her head to comfort her, but finally put it down.
She was right, I was not the one who fell into the fog, and I cannot represent her mood at the moment. If it were me who couldn't get what she asked for, I would have no more choices than her.
I sighed and said: "Qing Ling, I can see your efforts, but sometimes, don't people always get what they ask for? Just because they can't get it, they will work hard to get it, but the road to success is Aren’t all the experiences on the road important? Everything you gain in life, I think, should be the most important. As for me, I am just one of the signposts on your road to success."
"Is there really nothing I can do..." Zheng Qingling still couldn't stop her tears. She actually knew the impossibility between us, but she just didn't want to let go of the only possibility.
Perhaps, I inadvertently gave her a glimpse of the possibility of realization, or maybe she got into the trap herself, but no matter what, the facts are unchangeable after all.
I shook my head and said: "Qingling, my love for you comes from the love for my children. It is different from other loves. In the same way, it cannot be said to be lower than other loves. And , you are as important to me as Ruxue and Lingtian, but that kind of love has nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman."
"I know...but I...just can't help myself, okay?" Zheng Qingling cried.
I shook my head and continued: "I believe there will be someone who treats you better than me and does a much better job of pampering you than me. They all love you unconditionally, right?"
"I don't know what to do...I have been waiting for you for so many years. I thought that at least everything can be changed with time..." Zheng Qingling confided.
I actually don’t know how many times I’ve tried to persuade her. Doesn’t she know the truth?
I just don't want to accept it.
I pulled my sleeves back and said, "Qing Ling, to me, you will always be a child. I can pamper you and give you everything a father can give you, but you know that only the love between a man and a woman is impossible. Yes, if we are forced to be together, unless you force me, and I am forced to love, wouldn’t that be a unilateral result?”
Zheng Qingling wiped away her tears and suddenly stopped crying. She even looked at me and said, "I've figured it out, I can't live in Tianzhou City anymore."
"Qingling..." I thought to myself, this little girl, what does she think and do?
"It's okay to make trouble. Anyway, I knew it would be this result. I don't know how many times I have calculated it over the years. I was just teasing you. You are the father and I am the daughter. I am just afraid that you will be with me these days. Senior Sister Shaozi and Senior Sister Xiangling were too close, so I tested it, but it's okay, I guess you can still pick it clearly." After Zheng Qingling finished speaking, she stretched and stood up.
I was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "Are you telling the truth?"
"What? Can this still be false? If not, do you still plan to take it seriously?" Zheng Qingling asked.
"I just feel that the changes have been too big." I shook my head immediately. Did this little girl figure it out or not?
"You have changed very little, you are still the same. Okay, you should go back and do your own thing. Elders should behave like elders, right?" Zheng Qingling put her hand behind me and pushed me out of the courtyard.
I could only smile bitterly and said, "Isn't Tianzhou City pretty good too?"
"No matter how good it is, it's not mine, it's my aunts'." Zheng Qingling muttered.
I said speechlessly: "They also have to take care of you, right?"
"I'm too lazy to ask them to take care of me. Anyway, they treat me as their equal, and they often talk about dirty jokes as if no one else is around." Zheng Qingling snorted.
I pinched my brows and said, "This is really true...I'll tell them to pay attention later."
"You don't need to worry about me. I'm an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Why can't I still listen?
Are these? Zheng Qingling objected.
I could only shrug my shoulders helplessly, and after saying a few words, I diverted to Xiao Mengtong's mansion.
Xiao Mengtong's mansion has also been renovated. Like everyone else, it was almost copied from Daotian City's mansion, so it will mostly just be expanded on the original basis.
Under the guidance of the maid, I walked among the unique landscapes of Kyushu.
The place is decorated according to the map of Kyushu, which shows that even though she left Kyushu, she still missed it very strongly in her heart.
The most common decorations here are swords, and the decorative style can be seen as meaning sword-wielding Kyushu.
Seeing Xiao Mengtong playing with an ancient sword in the distance, I couldn't help but think of her father Xiao Qianjian. That expert gave me a great shock at that time, not only Xiao Mengtong, but also my feelings for him His death was actually something he was deeply worried about.
"Have you met this child Qingling?" Xiao Mengtong returned the sword to its sheath and stood in front of me with the sword in her hands.
"Well, she said you often make dirty jokes in front of her like no one else is watching." I laughed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have one." Xiao Mengtong pushed me embarrassedly.
"Isn't it you?" I asked, pretending to be surprised.
"How is that possible? Even if there is, it can't be me, okay? My husband is really open to talking. You know, I'm not a quick talker." Xiao Mengtong took my hand and didn't wait for my answer. , she stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "I just want to be an activist."
"Well... the sun is really coming out in the west." I couldn't help laughing.
"What kind of saying is this? Isn't it strange to come from the west? There are only a bunch of suns in Tiancheng, but there are no suns in that direction?" Xiao Mengtong said with a proud smile.
"Okay, if I can't talk to you, then how do you plan to be such an activist? I can't wait to find out." I didn't intend to let this topic go.
