"Yeah, that's what everyone says, but Daddy used to see Mom in me, too, since you left. Often hit me... "After a while, it seems that getting beaten has become a habit." Mu Zixi swirled the glass in his hand as if he was talking about someone else.

"Zixi, I'm sorry …" When Cai Yuping heard this, she felt somewhat sad.

"It's all over, isn't it? "All of these things are things of the past. If my dad was still alive, I would rather he still hit me. He's my only family."

"And me! And your sister, Leng Yan. " Cai Yuping blurted out anxiously.

Mu Zixi shook his head. "You two have each other. I only have my father left. Now that my father is gone, I'm an orphan."

She gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Child, for so long, I have been really concerned about you and don't know how you are. No matter what, I am your mother, maybe there was a misunderstanding between us before, but mother really missed you, especially after I heard that your father had passed away yesterday. I haven't slept all night."

Mu Zixi raised his head to look at Cai Yuping, who was crying and found it hard to believe, "Are you crying? For whom? For my father? Or for your own past? "

"Silly child, your father was the man I loved most at that time, what do you think? Why didn't you inform me of this? "At the very least, I can accompany you during that most painful of days …"

"Dad has already left, anything we do is useless. But fortunately, I have tried my best to use any means to keep him alive. At least, I don't have any regrets in my heart." Mu Zixi's expression was still as calm as before, without the slightest bit of emotion.

When the steak was served, Mu Zixi quietly finished the meal as if nothing had happened. After wiping her mouth, she politely asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I want... Go and take a look at your father, will you? " Cai Yuping didn't eat much steak. She only quietly watched Mu Zixi, who was sitting opposite her, cut open the steak and quietly ate the food in front of her. She was so calm and elegant, as if she could already see through everything that was happening around her.

"Fortunately, I don't have any classes in the afternoon, so of course I can take you." Mu Zixi originally wanted to smile, but she didn't know how to do so. All she could do was put on an ugly smile that was even uglier than crying and lower her head.

Cai Yuping could tell that there was something wrong with Mu Zixi's expression, but she didn't ask him about it.

Cai Yuping bought the bill and went to buy a bunch of white chrysanthemums, driving all the way to the Cemetery of Bright Moon.

Mu Zixi brought Cai Yaping to the front of Mu Lingfeng's grave. Mu Zixi squatted in front of Mu Lingfeng's grave and said softly, "Father, mother has come to visit you …"

Cai Yuping placed the white chrysanthemum in front of Mu Lingfeng's grave. The weather was very good, so Cai Yuping said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. I've let you down. Other than apologizing, I don't know what else I should have said to you. If it wasn't for my departure, perhaps you wouldn't have passed away so early on, leaving Zi Xi … "

Mu Zixi slowly stood up and walked to Cai Yuping's side. He held her by her arm and said, "Let's go, no matter how much you say, father won't be able to hear it. Perhaps, leaving early would be a relief to father, and we won't need to suffer from the illness anymore. As for the people who are still alive, we still need to continue suffering and suffering …"

Just how much had Mu Zixi experienced in order to make him speak in such a heavy tone? Yet, it was like a cool breeze that swept away the pain.

Before Cai Yuping and Mu Zixi split up, Cai Yuping acted like a loving mother as she tied Mu Zixi's hair behind his ears. She said softly, "Do you remember my phone number now? "No matter what's the matter, give me a call. Your father is gone, and I'm your closest relative. Child …"

His originally somewhat numb heart suddenly turned sour because of Cai Yuping's warm words. She tried her best to hold back her tears as she nodded with all her might to hide the fact that she was about to cry.

Cai Yuping looked at her and said a few more words before leaving …

Mu Zixi's tears finally began to spill out as he watched Cai Yuping's back disappearing into the distance … Without her father's love, her mother's love, she felt warmth.

Although it was short, it moved her … She still had one more relative in this world … She should live on …

When they returned to the apartment, Mu Zixi took off his shoes and laid on the wide bed. These days seemed like a dream. No one bothered him, no one tortured him, it was as if he had never even appeared.

However, she had been worrying about one person recently …

Lin Naofan, since the last time I was beaten up by Cheng Haotian, where did he go?

Why can't I get in touch, why can't I see him, why doesn't he always pick up the phone?

How was he after that attack? Could it be that he was hospitalized? Or was he seriously injured … Mu Zixi silently thought about the person who threatened him, Lin Naofan …

She was truly worried for him.

Mu Zixi looked at the phone and dialed that number, but still no one answered …

Holding the phone, Mu Zixi unknowingly fell asleep.

When Cai Yuping returned home, Leng Yan was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV. When she saw Cai Yuping, she became a bit dissatisfied, "I went to see you at noon. Why did you come back so late?" Where did he go? Mom, you can't be soft-hearted, right? It can't be that you don't want to help me anymore, right? "

Cai Yuping changed her slippers and walked to the tea table. She put down her cell phone and sat beside Leng Yan. She gently touched her hair and said, "Why would I do that?" I just don't want to rush it, but mom will definitely work hard. Today, did you go to see Cheng Haotian? "

Leng Yan pouted and said, "He went, but he was still busy. He would occasionally stop his work, but he just wouldn't look at me. I wanted to ask him to eat with me, but he just ignored me. "What does that mean?"

Cai Yuping comforted him, "Take your time. Things don't go as smoothly as you think. Don't be too anxious. You scared Cheng Haotian. Do you understand?" For such a man, you have to interact more, be warm, and take more care of him.

Leng Yan rested her chin on her hands helplessly. She looked at the television and said, "How long will it take you to take it slow? Oh yeah, mom, how do you plan on making Mu Zixi disappear? "

Cai Yuping suddenly had an apprehensive feeling. She was going to make Mu Zixi disappear? How to make a living man disappear? Cai Yuping smiled bitterly. "Let Mommy think about it, okay?"

Leng Yan pouted and continued to control the TV, not even bothering to look at Cai Yuping. "Then hurry up. Oh right, I'm hungry. Mom, I want to eat. Can you cook something I like to eat?"

Cai Yuping immediately went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Cai Yuping kept thinking, how could she make Mu Zixi willingly leave the city? At this moment, she suddenly heard the news on TV that the university in B City was organizing their school anniversary. She suddenly understood. Yes, she could use this method to make Mu Zixi leave!

She made up her mind that she would first build a relationship with Mu Zixi. When the time was right, she would give Mu Zixi some ideological work so that she could leave A City and go to university in B City. She could bear all the expenses … This way, he could explain things to Leng Yan without harming Mu Zixi.

She looked at her watch and saw that it was already early in the morning. She hurriedly changed her clothes, picked up her books and rushed over to the school, because today was a very important specialized class, so she had to go to the classroom in advance to take her seat. Otherwise, she would have to stay at the back and doze off with a group of students, so she wouldn't be able to ask her teacher in time if she had any questions.

When Leng Yan entered the classroom and saw Mu Zixi attentively recording things in the first row, her lips curled up into a sneer. She immediately changed her smile and quickly walked to Mu Zixi's side to greet her. "Elder sister, you've come early today. How have you been since meeting with mother yesterday?"

Mu Zixi raised his head and saw that it was Leng Yan. He looked around and nodded. "It's alright. Class is about to start. Quickly find a place to sit down."

Not too close, not too cold, not too hot.

She always came to sleep during class and also had to deal with the teacher's roll call. As for learning to live and not to learn anything, it didn't matter to her at all. In the future, she was going to marry a rich person to be his wife, so no matter how much she studied, she wouldn't use it.

The more Leng Yan looked at Mu Zixi, the more he disliked her. Why would Cheng Haotian, who could cover the sky with one hand, actually come to the school to visit Mu Zixi? Why did he look at Cheng Skywhite and ignore him? This Mu Zixi was stiff and didn't even know how to laugh. Why would so many people like him? Seeing the boy beside her secretly discussing Mu Zixi made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Am I not beautiful? Isn't her figure good? Was he not noble enough? Why did so many people like that poor slum-girl? The more Leng Yan thought about it, the angrier she became. She cut her notebook with the pen in her hand, and only when her classmate patted her arm did she realize that she had cut her notebook with the pen's tip.

"Leng Yan, are you alright?" the student whispered.

Leng Yan immediately closed the notebook and shook his head. "Nothing, nothing. I was just distracted."

In addition, she raised her hand to ask the teacher what he didn't understand. The teacher really liked Mu Zixi because of the fact that in the entire class, she was probably the one who listened the most carefully and asked the most specific questions. Every time someone called out a name, the teacher would always skip Mu Zixi's name, as this kind of student who was eager to learn was the teacher's favorite.

After class, a group of boys gathered around Mu Zixi's desk and asked her a lot of questions. Although Mu Zixi was a bit flustered, she was happy to answer them for her classmates.
