In the empty corridor, Lin Chaoxi walked out of the reading room alone.
Although the story is adapted, she did not lie to Lu Zhihao. In her childhood, there really was an Ultraman that she wanted very much.
It’s still Ultraman Cosmos. Cosmos has the best-looking transformation stick among all Ultraman. When it is raised high, a blue light like water will slant down.
But there is a slight difference from the description. In fact, she finally got the Ultraman Cosmos. This is because her parent is Lao Lin, not the mother in the extracurricular reading.
After Lao Lin found out that she secretly saved money, he was still very angry. Now that he thinks about it, he was probably angry that his daughter didn't dare to make her request openly.
Lao Lin took her to the mall. Facing the empty display windows, Lao Lin asked her what to do now?
Ultraman has been bought by someone else, how can she, a little kid, know what to do!
After hesitating for a long time, she was afraid that her father would be angry, so she said sensibly that she didn't want it anymore.
But Lao Lin said nothing. He just stood in front of the window with a gloomy face, holding her hand.
The little girl with pigtails and the dark-faced young man formed a beautiful and eye-catching landscape in front of the counter.
There were a lot of people watching, and Lin Chaoxi couldn't stand it, so he made a fuss and asked to go home.
Lao Lin also took her hand and left, but when they were walking against the flow of people and leaving the crowded mall, she burst into tears for no apparent reason. It was as if a large piece of her heart had been cut out, and she was crying like she would never be able to eat KFC again. In short, she was really sad.
Then Lao Lin stopped and asked her what she should do now.
Although there were still many people watching around, some pointing and poking at her, some urging Lao Lin to buy things to appease her, there were many voices, but Lao Lin remained unmoved.
At that moment, she calmed down and realized her true thoughts. She cried and shouted to Lao Lin that she didn't want to go home and she still wanted that Ultraman Cosmos.
Then Lao Lin smiled, and his expression changed very quickly.
For the next day, Lao Lin was in a good mood and took her to all the toy stores, shopping malls, and canteens in the city. Finally, they successfully bought the toy she had always dreamed of.
It was also at the moment when he took the toy from the saleswoman that Lin Chaoxi realized that what she said about not wanting it was not true.
Lao Lin told her that if she wanted something, she should work hard for it, no matter what she said or did. It was wrong to hide her true wishes in her heart until they decayed and she became a self-deceiving person because of fear of becoming an adult or fear of failure.
Before she came to this world, that Ultraman was still in her study and placed in the most prominent position on the bookshelf, and she still liked it very much.
For children, something that they once really wanted and that has extremely strong commemorative significance will not lose its value so quickly.
What's more, it is really commemorative.

Lin Chaoxi stood in front of a public telephone and inserted the IC card. The fields were empty and the rain that had accumulated for a day finally fell. She curled up in the narrow public telephone booth and dialed a number that she was very familiar with.
The sound of rain was overwhelming all around. The boundary between the sky and the ground became blurred and everything was white. But she seemed to be more awake than ever.
The memories of her childhood made her realize that people are always very brave when they are young, but they become more and more timid as they grow up. This kind of timidity is sometimes called growth.
——
"Hello?"
The call was connected, and a male voice, damp with rain, came from the phone, cold and impatient.
Lin Chaoxi gripped the plastic microphone tightly until his palm ached.
"Master, it's me..."
"Oh, what?"
She took a deep breath, mustered all her courage, and tried her best to make her voice sound less trembling, and she spoke softly.
"You have been asking me why I know you are so good at math, why I know where you live, and why I keep pestering you. Actually, I have a secret. If you come to the Oasis Base to teach us math, I will tell you, okay?"
That was almost the courageous moment since she came to this world. The rain was crackling and she put all her wealth in the silver plate and held the cloth high, hoping that the devil could take a look, come out of the cave, and help her kill the dragon.
At that moment, she was feeling so sad, but a very light male voice came from the phone.
"Oh, you can tell me now."
"I...I! You have to teach us, and I will tell you at the end..." She was very unconfident.
"So stingy?"
"No, Master."
"Do you think that if you tell me a secret, I will leave immediately? Master is not such a person who lacks the spirit of a contract. You have to trust the character of your partner..."
"What...what kind of character? Anyway, it's not good enough!"
"Why not?" Lao Lin laughed, "Do you really have a little secret?"
His father's tone became teasing and drawn out, as if he was chatting. Why was he still chatting at this time? Lin Chaoxi's heart beat faster and faster.
"Master..."
"Come on, turn around."
Lao Lin said.
——
If there is a big devil in the world, it must be your parents.
They may treat you carelessly or too harshly, but they are often the ones who will clear the way for you when you need them most.
However, oftentimes they appear when you need them so often that they become less noticeable.
Lin Chaoxi slowly turned around and saw a black umbrella standing upright in the white rain curtain.
The man under the umbrella was not that tall either. He had dark skin, his clothes were wet and stuck to his body, and his eyes were full of sadness. But if you look closely, those round black eyes, that straight nose, and the dimple on one side that was exactly the same as hers, who else could it be but Lao Lin?
Lin Chaoxi pushed open the public telephone booth, rushed into the rain, threw herself into Old Lin's arms, and burst into tears.
The sound of rain was still very loud, the water and the sky merged into a line, all things broke out of the ground, life flourished, Lin Chaoxi seemed to hear that sound.
"Master, why are you here?" Lin Chaoxi asked while crying.
"Didn't you say you had a secret to tell me?"
"You were here first."
"Really?" Lao Lin touched her head and said nothing.
