"It's me."
Xing Zhengfei's eyelids felt swollen and sore. He slowly lowered his head, pulled the owner of the voice into his arms, and rested his chin on her slender shoulder: "I want to go home, Mom."
Jiang Shuyin was stunned for a moment. She couldn't see the expression on his face, but she guessed that he must have been crying. She slowly raised her hand to stroke his back and gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away."
She also made a mistake. How could she treat her children differently because of their appearance? All her children are precious.
Xing Zhengfei smiled and lingered for two minutes before finally leaving.
The road was icy and not suitable for driving, so Jiang Shuyin was thrown out.
Holding his hand tightly, I led him home in the darkness, talking about things at home:
"This year is going to be lively, with delicious food every day. You can buy whatever you want to eat. However, your maternal grandmother's sister's family is coming. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I'll do your makeup. You'll sleep at your father's place tonight."
To Xing Zhengfei, these arrangements were "absolutely wonderful."
Even the deathly white eyeballs seemed to have a light in them.
Fireworks were lit from time to time in the sky. Jiang Shuyin led him to fly at a low altitude and at a slow speed. Fortunately, they talked along the way and chatted about interesting things that happened when they didn't see each other, so they didn't feel bored.
From Xing Zhengfei, Jiang Shuyin learned that he was delivering food at the northern base and earned more in a day than she did on missions. Suddenly, she felt that her work in the special task force was no longer appealing: "How much do the others earn?"
Xing Zhengfei tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, showing no pride at all: "I don't know much, but the people living next to me get 4,000 task points a month. They're too slow, and they have to compete for orders."
His orders are all delivered to him by others. Wealthy people buy time with money, so he has many orders and high prices, making him someone that most people can only dream of.
“That’s amazing. Your older brother and sister are still studying. Do you want to go to school? I heard that universities will be reopened next year. If you’re willing, I’ll try to find a way for you.” Jiang Shuyin still felt that her child should study, even though the value of academic qualifications has been greatly devalued now. Reading more books would broaden his horizons and improve his cognitive level.
Xing Zhengfei hesitated for a moment. He remembered that he had studied, but he had forgotten all the knowledge. After a moment of silence, Jiang Shuyi smiled and changed the subject: "Anyway, it's still early. You can tell me when you've thought it through. Tonight, I'll take you to your dad's house first. You didn't come to your mom's house with us. Is it okay if you sleep in the same bed with Brother Ace?"
"Okay." Xing Zhengfei silently repeated the word "brother" to himself, a pang of sadness rising in his heart: "What if he doesn't like me, is afraid of my eyes, or despises me for being blind?"
Jiang Shuyin smiled and said, "I think... you are good-looking and capable, just like the idiom 'a flaw does not obscure the beauty of jade': the blemishes on the jade cannot overshadow its brilliance."
Xing Zhengfei closed his mouth with satisfaction, the corners of his lips turned up high.
Fearing suspicion, Jiang Shuyin didn't leave home until dark. Now that she had picked up Xing Zhengfei, it was almost midnight, and she wouldn't get home until around three or four in the morning.
After midnight, the fireworks stopped.
Xie Yin doesn't need to sleep, and besides, the two kids living in the house are making so much noise that it's impossible to stay quiet.
Perhaps it was fate, but the ninth baby was a fire-type ability with excellent aptitude. He was born amidst flames, almost setting Jiang Shu's bed on fire, and was named Red Phoenix.
A vibrant cluster, as beautiful as a fiery sunset.
The tenth cub, born at the same time as the Red Phoenix, is like a newborn sun, floating in mid-air, radiating warm light, and possesses rare talent.
The room was no longer cold, and later, a neighbor asked if someone had installed underfloor heating.
The tenth baby was named Orange Light, a radiant ball of light that could be placed in the house without even needing to turn on the lights.
Both of these creatures are natural enemies of dark creatures, and Xie Yin's headaches are becoming more and more frequent.
Jiang Shu led Xie Yin to the building below. Looking up, she saw that only the windows on the 33rd floor of the entire building were still lit.
As you enter the building, motion-sensor lights illuminate, and a red light flashes in a hidden corner, as a motion-capture surveillance camera records this video.
The elevator doors opened, revealing a very large space inside, large enough to fit a small car.
The numbers on the electronic display screen counted down from 1 to 33 and then stopped. At the same time as the elevator doors opened, Xie Yin's door opened. He stood in the doorway and pressed his palm to his temples: "They're here."
“Dad.” Xing Zhengfei’s steps were light.
Xie Yin replied calmly, "Mm." He then looked at Jiang Shuyin and gestured for the two of them to come in.
She took out a pair of peach-colored cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet: "You said you were coming last time, so I went to the supermarket and bought a pair to keep on hand. Aren't they... a little big?"
He just grabbed it randomly, but now that we compare them, her feet are so small, almost as long as his hands.
Jiang Shuyin tried it on and said, "It's okay, it's still wearable even if it's too big."
Xing Zhengfei didn't get this treatment. Xie Yin handed him shoe covers: "Put these on, I'll take you to buy a pair tomorrow."
This gesture moved Xing Zhengfei deeply: "Thank you, Dad." In his memory, no one had ever cared about him like this before. He quickly put on his shoe covers, but bumped into the wall after taking only two steps.
The unfamiliar environment required him to measure it with his hands again. Xing Zhengfei raised his hands and touched around in all directions, tentatively taking a step forward.
Jiang Shu asked Xie Yin, "Is there any way to make his eyes better?"
Seeing my child like this is heartbreaking; my eyes are more important than my hands.
Xie Yin glanced at it: "Try finding Heimei."
Jiang Shuyin: "Really? Then bring him to my house early tomorrow morning, around 10 a.m.
Having achieved his goal, Xie Yin smiled and said, "Alright, you can take the other two with you today."
Jiang Shuyin looked up at him, her eyes teasing: "Is it a big fuss?"
Dark creatures hate light as much as they hate heat. Are these two children not the reincarnations of their mortal enemies?
This was the first time Xie Yin had shown any dislike for the child; previously, he had simply been indifferent and ignored him.
"Um."
Jiang Shu stood up and said, "Alright, you can arrange for Xiao Xing to stay here. I'll head back now."
The red phoenix and the orange light were too bright, so she used a safe house to put the children away.
Xie Yin escorted her downstairs.
Xing Zhengfei was taken back to his room. In the pitch-black room, he felt his way to the bed, which was not even as high as his knees. The blanket was soft and he liked it very much.
I took off my clothes and shoes, climbed up and lay down. Just as I closed my eyes, I heard the door open outside.
It seems like Dad is back. Should we get up and say hello?
Before he could make up his mind, there was another knock on the door.
They went out?
Xing Zhengfei had been working in prison all day and was a little sleepy after not sleeping all night. Anyway, he was at his father's house and wouldn't be abandoned. He turned over and rubbed his face against the soft cotton pillow, feeling comfortable and at ease.
Xie Yin went to the rooftop.
Shangguan Chen went back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year, taking everyone with him except for the cleaning lady.
The sky was as dark as ink, and the moon was obscured by black mist. The people of Anshi hadn't seen the moon in a long time, and the occasional few stars were enough to make them fascinated.
He stood on the edge of the rooftop, the night wind biting coldly, blowing the strands of hair on his forehead.
Xie Yin noticed that the lights in her house stayed on for a long time before being turned off.
