Chapter 321 Father Xia

Ran Mingzhu has long forgotten the appearance of her father, because she was only two or three years old when her father left Japan. There are only some vague fragments left in his memory. She only vaguely remembers his back. The tall man always sits alone on the table extending from the living room to the courtyard and sighs, and sometimes he holds a can of beer in his hand.

If he realizes that she is behind him, he will call her over, sit on his lap, ice her little face with a cool beer can, and look at her cute appearance with her eyes closed, which seems to make him temporarily forget the things that have troubled him for a long time, as well as the pain brought to him by losing his sister. But even so, she and the family still failed to keep him.

In fact, the biggest reason why Ran Mingzhu is so disgusted and defensive against demons is that she believes that it was these monsters that caused the death of her aunt, and finally caused her father Ran Tianyou to leave. They separated her supposedly happy family and took away all the happiness in her life. She was full of the pain of losing her father under the strong appearance of her mother Keiko, which she had deeply experienced since she was a child.

After saying goodbye to Ran Mingzhu, Xia Qiu naturally handed over the diary left by Ran Tianyou to Ouyang Xiao Leng. She could feel that even if he resisted the sudden sister on the surface, he subconsciously still wanted to help her.

As a result, Ouyang Xiao Leng's first reaction after the diary was to open the diary, put it in front of his nose and smell it, and then said, "Sure enough!"

"What?" Xia Qiu turned to him and asked.

"In addition to the taste of ink, there are other things on it, which seems to be a special fluorescent agent." Ouyang Xiao Leng closed the diary and answered her.

"Oh? Is it like the invisible words in the movie that can only appear in special light? Xia Qiu remembers that she had read similar plots in detective novels and movies.

"Yes, Dong Muya and the kid may really help us solve some great questions." Ouyang Xiao Leng suddenly felt that the diary in his hand had become heavy. But before that, he decided to send Xia Qiu home first.

Walking on the familiar road again, he deliberately slowed down his pace to cater to her speed. The moonlight projected the slender shadow of the two of them. The top edge of the shadow seemed to be blurred by water vapor, and he could see the rhythmic rhythm of the faint smoke. The two shadows moved forward in parallel, occasionally overlapping, and there was a kind of harmonious and quiet beauty. He decided to take the initiative to lean out a hand in her direction, hold her hand, and their shadows were connected together.

Unexpectedly, the romantic moment just began and ended quickly. Xia Qiu suddenly looked up and saw the figure under the street lamp. She suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "Dad!"

"Hmm?" After a few seconds, Ouyang Xiao Leng realized what the two words she shouted meant.

The middle-aged man in front of him is holding a cigarette. He is tall, thin, and his eye sockets are a little deep. He seems to be seriously sleep deprived. Perhaps their appearance also shocked him so much that his cigarette fell from his mouth to the ground.

In Xia Qiu's impression, her father Xia Xuesong's return to Yongchuan is very limited. Although she knows that many times what he said about busy work is just an excuse, she has long been used to it. The father in front of her is older than her, but more strange. She tried to think about what the first sentence she said to her father should be, but she completely forgot that her hand was still tightly tied with Ouyang Xiao Leng.

"Who is this?" Xia Xuesong looked at the teenager in front of him alertly and hostilely and asked, thinking how dare the teenager had the courage to take his daughter's hand in front of him.

"He is my classmate."

After answering his father's question, Xia Qiu finally broke away from Ouyang Xiao Leng. As she felt that her cheeks were hot, she was waiting for her father's reaction.

"Oh... I'm Xia Qiu's father." Xia Xuesong quickly introduced himself to establish his position, and at the same time erected a wall in front of him and the teenager.

"How are you, uncle!" Ouyang Xiao Leng greeted him without thinking.

Xia Qiu was also worried about the unexpected reaction of Ouyang Xiao Leng, who has always loved to socialize with people. Fortunately, his attitude was normal. But what surprised her most was the reason why her father suddenly appeared, so she asked, "Why did you come back?"

"Let's talk about this when we go home!" Xia Xuesong glanced at Ouyang Xiaoxun impatiently and said.

Xia Qiu had to say goodbye to Ouyang Xiao Leng and follow her father home. The moment she entered the door, she clearly saw her grandmother wink at her. With the tacit understanding between grandma and her, she knew that this was a bad omen, and her father was likely to get angry with her.

There were only her and her father in the living room. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, tapped the cigarette box with his fingers, and took out a cigarette and put it on his mouth to light it. After thinking about it, he put it down.

In fact, Xia Xuesong is as nervous as his daughter. He is not used to scolding Xia Qiu, and he doesn't know how to talk about the next topic. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "It's been a long time. No matter what time I call home, you are not there. Although grandma has been covering for you, I still think it's very abnormal for a girl who is still in high school. I just want to go through the transfer procedures for you when I come back this time.

"Transfer procedures?!" Xia Qiu didn't expect her father to come up and give her a blockbuster.

"Yes! I've been thinking about it for a long time. I haven't taken good care of you for a long time, and my grandparents are too indulgent to you. If it goes on like this, I'm worried that you will learn bad. Xia Xuesong answered with her eyebrows tightly locked.

"Learn bad?!" Xia Qiu asked with a wry smile. She didn't know why her father suddenly found a sense of responsibility as a father after 16 years of throwing herself to her grandparents.

"Yes, I'm thinking it's better for you to live with me. I've contacted all the schools in Beijing for you." Xia Xuesong said in a tone that was determined and could not be denied.

"Do I have a choice?" Xia Qiu felt a rebellious flame burning in her chest.

"I wanted you to choose, but after seeing the boy just now, I think I'm right." Xia Xuesong also didn't want to give in at all.

"I won't leave Yongchuan, at least not now." Xia Qiu's eyes showed stubbornness.

"Because of the boy just now? I think it's necessary for me to talk to him!" Xia Xuesong became more and more angry.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Qiu was even more sure that she didn't know her father at all. She couldn't imagine that he would be such an unreasonable person.

"Anyway, you can ask him to come home tomorrow!" Xia Xuesong then said, "Forget it, let's go out. I don't want your grandparents to worry about it."

Xia Qiu couldn't figure out how to continue the conversation between her and her father for the time being. Obviously, her father couldn't listen to what she said for a while. She had no choice but to go back to her room and lock the door. Now it seemed that only this space was completely her own. She lay on the desk and cried when she felt that her heart was full of grievances.

She couldn't explain to her father what she was doing, and she also thought that if she hadn't become a blood alliance partner, if she hadn't shouldered the safety of the demon world and the world, if she was just an ordinary high school student, would she leave Yongchuan with her father?

Crying not only makes her tired, but also makes her have some tinnitus, so that the sound of tapping from the window becomes so far away. She slowly raised her head and Ouyang Xiao Leng was outside the window in tears, which made her wonder if he was just her own hallucination.

But she still opened the window. He landed beside her and whispered in her ear, "Are you all right?"

His voice was unexpectedly gentle. She looked at him. He should have returned from Ouyang's ancient house, because his school uniform had been replaced with a light gray pure cotton sweatshirt. She didn't say anything, but grabbed a corner of his clothes, buried her face deep in his clothes, and slowly restored her body's strength. He stroked her hair again and again, quietly waiting for her to stop crying.

Xia Qiu finally calmed down. She moved her face away from his clothes and sighed and said, "He said he was coming back to help me with the transfer."

"Where are you going to transfer to another school?" Ouyang asked eagerly.

"Beijing..." Xia Qiu's voice was still a little trembling.

"This...maybe it's a good thing." Ouyang Xiao Leng's eyes dimmed in an instant, but he still said.

"Do you think so too? Ha ha." Xia Qiu asked with a sneer.

"I don't want you to be embarrassed, if you want..."

She interrupted him and said, "You know I want to stay."

"Then stay!"

Ouyang Xiao Leng seemed to be waiting for her words. He reached out and took her hand holding the corner of his clothes, and then squatted down so that his forehead could be attached to Xia Qiu sitting in the chair.

"He said he wants to talk to you tomorrow. I hope you can use your kind of hypnosis to make him change his mind and go back to Beijing." Xia Qiu could feel his breath coming to her face. He was so close to her that she also found a sense of security again.

"Well, that's the only way." Ouyang Xiao Leng answered.

He was in this not too spacious room with Xia Qiu. Unconsciously surrounded by her fragrance, just thinking about this made his heart beat faster. In addition, the desire of the god and demon in his body for her blood became more and more obvious at this moment. He knew that he had to leave, otherwise the consequences would be It's out of control.

"Are you going back?" After Xia Qiu found that Ouyang Xiao Leng slowly let go of his hand, he asked reluctantly.

"Early rest!" He nodded and answered, and then jumped out of the window and disappeared.

He went straight back to Ouyang Ancient House, and there was still an uncontrollable desire in his body. This feeling had not happened for a long time, but this time it was suddenly strong. Just now, he has handed over Tianyou's diary to Dong Muya and Min Entong. Dong Muya happens to have a fluorescent lamp that can make this invisible text appear. As long as you use this lamp, you can read what the words that Tianyou deliberately hides are. He urgently needs to turn his attention to these things, otherwise he feels that he may even go to Xia Qiu uncontrollably.

As Ouyang Xiao Leng speculated, Dong Muya and others quickly read out the hidden text, and the content of the text happened to be a summary of that page of dense records, or a hint. She recorded these useful information, and in the process of recording, she also learned what happened before Ran Tianyou began to independently investigate Ran Susu's death and disappeared.

He just mentioned Mrs. Lan, the previous owner of the Sparrow Hotel, and clearly marked that Mrs. Lan was a quite powerful snake demon. The most important thing was that she worked for Qingyun.
