Shortly after Xuan Ye was sent back from the front line, her father also retired due to injury.
He was injured in a very tragic battle and almost lost his life. The soldiers who came back in front of him secretly told Xuan Ye that even if his injury healed, it would leave serious sequelae. Most likely the situation cannot be restored to its previous state.
But even so, Xuan Ye still couldn't control her anger when she heard that her father was coming back.
"Ah, congratulations, you finally realized your dream, became a hero and returned home with honor."
"Why don't you stay on the front lines and continue to be your hero? Why can't you come back while your mother is still here?"
She wanted to laugh at and humiliate her father in front of her father, but when she really saw her father who was covered in scars and even older, Xuanye swallowed these words back.
What happened to me?
Xuan Ye asked herself this.
It was obvious that her father was facing a greater danger, it was obvious that he was indeed a hero, and she should be proud of him, but for some reason, she still felt a little unwilling.
She understood that her father was no longer the father in her mind.
He and his father can no longer return to their original state, and neither can this family return to its original state.
In this state, Xuanye and her father lived together again.
"Will the wound still hurt?"
"It's okay now."
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Anything is fine."
Xuan Ye often takes care of her father, but the conversation between the two is just a few words.
As long as nothing happens, Xuan Ye tries not to stay in the same room as her father.
Probably because they are too quiet under the same roof. Such quietness and silence can make people's hearts ache.
Xuan Ye remembered that when she was a child, she had many cold wars with her father over many trivial matters.
Each time, my father would playfully do some eye-catching antics to express his hope for reconciliation.
But this time my father was not like before.
He often had nothing to do and didn't seem to want to think. He just sat in the yard every day, watching the sun rise and disappear before returning to the house.
Her father's personality has changed since he came back. In Xuan Ye's memory, his father was fearless and always looked forward. But now his father is like a stranger. He feels cautious when talking to her. Many of his behaviors were horribly negative, and more importantly, his iconic smile never appeared on his face again.
Xuan Ye often wanted to talk to him, but she didn't know how to speak. It wasn't that she couldn't keep her face down, but she really didn't know what to say.
The two of them were really estranged.
Days like this continue day after day without end.
And to break this state...
No, what made the situation worse was the appearance of that man.
He was a young traveling businessman, handsome in appearance and able to speak.
He was also the first businessman to come to the village after the new Demon King came to the throne. At that time, the commercial capital Kaguya City had begun to take shape, and more and more novelty gadgets began to pour into the market. That kid came to the village to promote.
Xuan Ye now feels that she was so innocent back then.
I was blinded by the kid's sweet words and a pencil with a pink rabbit on its butt.
Xuan Ye, who was still a young girl at that time, fell in love for the first time. Every day she would hold the "love token" given by the boy and place it at the entrance of the village like a watchstone, waiting for the boy to come again.
Due to her desire for love and the influence of her mother who often had a philandering father, she was too eager to become a bride.
So soon after, she decided to marry the businessman.
Everything changes at this time.
When she made this decision, her father, who had always been quiet, suddenly became furious and said that he did not agree with the marriage. An old man even lost his temper like a child.
Xuan Ye has never seen such an irritable father.
"If you want to marry that man, never step foot in this house!"
"Just what I wanted!"
Xuanye ran away from home after a big fight with her father, which was considered a formal break between her and her father.
On the day of the wedding, just as she expected, her father was not present, and she didn't care.
Without the old guy around, the wedding went more smoothly.
That's what she thought.
The few years after the marriage went smoothly. The merchant's business was getting better and better, and he even had his own shop in the city. Xuan Ye also gave birth to a boy for that man.
She felt that her father would definitely apologize to her after knowing this.
must......
What if fate didn't play tricks on her again.
It was a business family that was intimidating to ordinary people. The daughter of that family also fell in love with this eloquent young businessman. She said that if the businessman could divorce Xuan Ye, he could marry into their family immediately.
The young businessman didn't hesitate at all and immediately issued a divorce letter.
How could the strong Xuan Ye agree to a divorce? Besides, they also have an infant child. She would never agree even if she was retaliated to death by a wealthy businessman.
But she was too naive and could never imagine what other people would do.
One inconspicuous night, the child suddenly started crying. She went to comfort the child as usual, but she saw two black figures standing in front of her child.
She gave in, she wanted nothing, she just wanted the businessman to give her the child.
But as the hammer fell from the fat judge's hand, she was declared to have nothing.
It was her father who took her home.
She didn't even have a place to live at that time.
"You are so much like me. You just want to look forward. I know you will definitely suffer."
"I have long seen that that man is not a good person. No matter how I advise you, you still don't listen to me!"
"If you had listened to me then, how could you have ended up like this!"
...
Her father said many hurtful words, but Xuan Ye ignored them.
She never felt that the irresponsible father could say anything decent, and he must have regarded herself as a big trouble.
In order not to cause this "trouble" to her father, she secretly made up her mind that she would soon solve her "trouble" by herself.
only......
After my father finished talking about a lot of experience, he tilted his head and muttered in a low voice:
"Anyway, the room and everything are still there, so just stay here."
Xuan Ye looked at her father, tears constantly overflowing from her dark brown eyes. She gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously.
Now Xuan Ye realizes that her personality has changed a lot since then.
And now I can understand my father somewhat.
