Huo Aiyu's voice has the crispness unique to young girls.
Although she was talking to Chen Liang, her eyes were always looking towards Huo Ran, as if she was very interested in this man.
She couldn't describe the feeling, it was like a natural sense of closeness.
But she was sure that she had never seen this man before.
Chen Liang turned his head to look at Huo Ran, then coughed lightly: "Aiyu, go find your mother and tell her..."
He looked away, seeming hesitant, not knowing how to start.
Huo Ran's voice was a little hoarse, but still had the gentleness of his usual self.
"Little girl, go tell your mother, when will we meet again?"
Huo Aiyu looked a little confused, as if she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she still ran obediently to the back of the house to find Alice in the flower garden.
Chen Liang coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Huo Ran, then...then I will leave first?"
It seemed a bit strange for him to stay here in this situation.
But the subtle thing was that Huo Ran seemed to be very nervous and even stuttered when he spoke.
"Okay, okay."
Chen Liang looked at him for a moment, then looked at Alice's flower shop, shook his head and left.
Alice was a very good woman. Huo Ran might have really sacrificed a lot for humanity, but he failed Alice...
Thinking of this, Chen Liang thought of Lin Yong.
That man, it’s almost like he gave up all of humanity for Chen Liang.
If Li Shu hadn't found a way to save Chen Liang, Lin Yong would probably be thinking about how to destroy all of humanity.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and felt a little sweeter in his heart.
Huo Ran behind him was standing there in a panic, obviously a little uneasy.
He had never felt that time was so long.
He couldn't even remember how long Huo Aiyu had been in there. It felt like almost a century.
Maybe one minute passed, maybe five minutes, or maybe a full ten minutes...
In short, when Alice hurried over from behind the flower shop, Huo Ran's teeth were chattering.
As if he was waiting for his final judgment, his expression was filled with hidden worry, and he kept looking into the depths.
When Alice ran out, she was still wearing the apron she had brought from the flower garden.
There was even a small shovel in his hand with a little dirt on it.
Huo Ran noticed at first glance that Alice looked much older than the last time he saw her.
He felt a genuine sense of guilt in his heart. She had been pregnant and gave birth to a child alone over the years, trying hard to survive under so much complicated surveillance.
It must have been... very hard.
Alice threw the small shovel in her hand at Huo Ran with force, her slightly red eyes filled with tears.
"You, you actually..."
"How could you do this to me..."
Her voice became choked from the initial sourness, and then she began to cry silently.
Huo Ran on the opposite side was at a loss as to how to deal with the situation.
He could have avoided the small shovel, but he let it hit him.
There were some dirt stains on his well-fitting uniform.
Huo Ran took a step forward, as if he wanted to hug Alice, but he was afraid that hugging her so hastily would be a bit abrupt and might even hurt Alice.
Or maybe she'll push him away...
After this hesitation, he stood still.
In the end, Alice, with tears on her face, stepped forward and hugged Huo Ran tightly.
All the dirt on her body rubbed onto Huo Ran, making him look a little dirty and disheveled.
Even so, it couldn't hide the aura of a man in a high position.
Huo Aiyu, who was standing next to him, looked at the two of them and suddenly felt that her mother was not worthy of this man.
She wasn't belittling her mother, she just... suddenly had that feeling.
But seeing her mother's actions and expression, she could roughly guess that this man should be her father whom she had never met before.
The father who abandoned my mother for more than ten years without any news and did not participate in any decision making during her growth.
Her expression suddenly became somewhat resentful, and she even looked at Huo Ran with a bit of disgust.
"Mother!"
Huo Aiyu's voice was a little sharp, and Alice came to her senses almost instantly and pushed Huo Ran away.
She looked at Huo Aiyu carefully, her worry evident on her face: "What's wrong?"
He was obviously frightened by Huo Aiyu's sharp voice and thought she was injured.
Huo Aiyu tightly grasped the corner of Alice's clothes, her eyes a little cold: "Mom, who is this uncle?"
Alice paused for a moment, turned her head to look at Huo Ran, pursed her lips as if she didn't know how to start.
Huo Ran took a step forward, squatted down and looked at Huo Aiyu: "Your name is Huo Aiyu, right?"
"I am your father."
"I know it might be hard for you to accept me as a father who has never appeared before, and you think I am a very irresponsible person."
"Well... I don't deny that I was absent from your life. I'm not a very good father."
"But, Xiao Aiyu, no matter what, Daddy loves you. It's just that for various reasons, Daddy can't be by your side."
"I have carefully observed your experiences over the years."
He tried to reach out and touch Huo Aiyu's head.
Although she was a little resistant, she did not move away. After her hair was rubbed, her expression even softened a little.
Looking at the father and daughter who were trying to develop their relationship, Alice's eyes became slightly red again.
The sentence that Huo Ran asked Xiao Aiyu to bring in was what Huo Ran had taught Alice before.
She still vaguely remembered the meaning of the poem.
Now, this kind of reunion is really a situation that makes her cry.
Alice didn't make things difficult for Huo Ran, but instead took him back to her shop.
On the other side, Lin Yong and Lin Qi in the research institute did not have such a good atmosphere.
It would not be an exaggeration to even call it tit-for-tat.
Lin Yong wanted to explain to Lin Qi the whole story of what happened that year more than once, but was rejected by Lin Qi every time.
"I'm not interested in what happened back then, and it's probably not even what happened to me."
"I won't do a genetic test with you. You'd better give up on this idea."
Her expression was a little sharp, and she penetrated Lin Yong's body directly, causing his throat to choke and he didn't know how to continue.
After a long while, he just spoke dryly.
"It was really an accident back then. None of us thought that would happen."
