Everyone knew who the weirdo she was talking about was, but they didn't know how to answer the question. All eyes were unconsciously focused on Suman.
Suman didn't hesitate, he just said truthfully, "He is dead."
Liu Zhui and Lou Shiming were shocked by her answer. They had obviously agreed that Qian Shu should not tell Xiaojiao.
They carefully observed Xiaojiao's expression and quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they found that Xiaojiao didn't have any big reaction.
"Dead." Xiaojiao lowered her head, the smile on her face gradually forced, but when she raised her head again, the smile on her face was still sweet, as if the change in expression at that moment was just their illusion.
"Sister Su, can you take out that letter and read it to me?" She raised her almost invisible hand and touched the hairpin on her head, and said with a smile, "It's been ten years. I seem to have forgotten the content of that letter."
Suman nodded and took out the letter from the mailbox.
"To you ten years from now:
Hello, Qian Xiaojiao ten years later, I really have a lot to ask you. Have you become the adult you want to be?
You said you want to become a rich man in the future, so you should have saved a lot of money, right? You have a lot of things to buy, have you bought all those things?
You should buy a hairpin. It’s something you’ve always wanted to own, something you’ve really envied for a long time. You vowed to buy it for yourself when you become an adult and have financial freedom.
...
I really envy you, you have finally grown up!
You said that when you grow up, you want to travel, get out of that small county and see the beautiful scenery of the world. Have you taken any photos as a souvenir? Is it the taste of freedom? are you happy? I really want to see it now.
...
However, what I want to ask you most is-has Dad gotten better? Does he still gamble? My life is not very good now. People come to my door every day.
Xiaojiao, have you got rid of the shackles? Have you ever lived in the big house you dreamed of? You said you wanted to buy a big house after graduating from college! There are a lot of fences around the big house, are they all there? Isn’t our new home beautiful?
I really want you to receive my letter quickly and reply to me. I really want to see you ten years from now, and I really want to know what kind of person you have become.
I hope you have not forgotten your dream, to wander around the world and be a free person. It doesn’t matter if I am not doing well now. I hope you are already a free and happy adult!
I love you, Xiaojiao. I love you, Xiaojiao ten years from now. I hope your life will be much better than mine. "
This letter attracted everyone's attention, but no one saw it. Xiaojiao, who was lying on the bed, touched the hairpin on her head, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and slowly turned into stars and disappeared on the bed.
She didn't become that kind of adult after all.
Suman read the letter word for word, and when he looked up at Xiaojiao, the bed was empty except for the hairpin lying alone on the pillow.
"Xiaojiao is gone?" Lou Shiming's voice was choked up. Although the memories of these years are fake, the relationship is not fake. "We haven't said our final goodbyes yet."
"My poor Xiaojiao, is it just because of this letter that you are reluctant to leave?" He quietly wiped away his tears.
He could imagine a little girl sending a letter with a beautiful vision for the future, imagining that she would have her own freedom in the future, but she was hit hard by a car on the road and flew away. Shatter the future into pieces...
"Boss Liu, you are a bad person!" He glared at Liu Chai angrily, "You can't cover up this fact even if you do so many good things!"
Liu Zhui had nothing to say. His unintentional actions had indeed ruined Xiaojiao's life.
Lou Shiming was upset and wanted to drag Suman along to condemn him, but Suman didn't participate. He only glanced at Liu Zhui, then looked away, and finally folded the letter and put it back in the mailbox.
She whispered to Lou Shiming, "Bury this letter and Qian Shuying's bones together when the time comes."
After a pause, she picked up the hairpin on the pillow and said, "There is also this one, let's bury it together."
Seeing this, Lou Shiming felt depressed again, "Miss Su, do you think Xiaojiao finally thought of her father?"
Remember? Suman thought that Xiaojiao must have remembered it from the time she asked where the weirdo was, but that was not what she said. She said, "Maybe, who knows."
She spread her hands and said, "Okay, everything here has been solved. For now, it's just the series of letters that Xiaojiao did. The reason is probably that the ten-year period is coming. Now that we have solved these things, I The mission has been completed.”
It was not that Suman was aimless, but she actually received the message from the system that the task was completed.
To be honest, although the task was completed, Suman still had many things that she didn't understand. For example, she had no way of knowing whether those letters were written by Xiaojiao, or whether she had written those letters on purpose. .
Lou Shiming obviously had the same idea as her, "Miss Su, it's over. Will those letters really never appear again? Was it really Xiaojiao who created those letters? Why didn't she tell me directly? What? If she told me directly, I would also help her."
Suman glanced at him and said, "Maybe she doesn't know it herself."
"I don't know, what do you mean?"
"It means literally. Maybe you are not the only one who has confused your memory. Xiaojiao, like you, really regards you as her father. It's just that as the time approaches, her subconscious has done some anxious things, but she I don’t know.”
Of course, these were Suman's guesses, but she felt that her guesses made sense.
Lou Shiming didn't say anything, as he accepted her statement.
After Suman finished handling the matters here, he went downstairs and planned to leave.
In fact, it doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is. The truth that can be accepted by people is the best truth.
Liu Chai hesitated for a moment and followed her downstairs: "Miss Su, what do you think I should do?"
Suman didn't look back, "What are you referring to?"
"Xiaojiao's matter." Liu Chai was very distressed, "What should I do?"
"What should I do? You can do whatever you want." Suman turned to look at him: "What do you want to hear me say? Ask you to surrender? Do you think I would say such a thing?"
Liu Zhui was puzzled. He really thought Suman would say this.
Su Man said: "If you really have that intention, then you will turn yourself in even if I don't tell you. If you don't have that intention, and you just want to ask me and relieve the guilt in your heart, then I will say It’s all for nothing.”
What she said was somewhat realistic, "No one here has the ability to punish you anyway, it just depends on your heart, Boss Liu."
