Chapter 334 Sorry
The end of the previous chapter has been slightly modified, so you can go back and take a look.
--------
Dad, long time no see, can you give me a hug? When these words rang in Shao Dongxu’s ears, he no longer knew how to think.
His daughter, who he thought had passed away with his late wife, had a face and a voice he thought he would never meet again in this life, but now they really appeared in front of him and rang in his ears.
Shock, joy, doubt, confusion...countless complex emotions exploded in Shao Dongxu's mind, leaving him at a loss as to what expression or reaction he should make.
He just stood there blankly, looking at Yao Yanyan without blinking, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of what he was experiencing at this time, and there was no movement for a long time.
Until Yao Yanyan smiled again and took a step towards him.
At this moment, Shao Dongxu thought of a scene he had not seen for more than ten years.
At that time, he was just an ordinary man pursuing his illusory dreams every day, and even though he was like this, he also had a gentle wife and a lovely daughter.
Every time he came home, he could always see his wife's gentle smile, a table full of food, and his daughter, who was shouting "Daddy" and rushing toward him to hug.
Gradually, the daughter's childish face and the smile in front of her came together.
Shao Dongxu suddenly realized that no wonder he felt so cordial to Yao Yanyan when he saw her for the first time, no wonder he favored and cared for her unreasonably.
It turns out that there is a certain destiny, and Yao Yanyan seems to have known each other's identities for a long time.
But...if that's the case, why didn't she suddenly talk about this until now?
Surprises and doubts emerged in his heart at the same time. At this time, Shao Dongxu could no longer take into account the environment he was in, and he had no energy to think about the messy questions in his mind.
Looking at Yao Yanyan walking towards him step by step, he just wanted to hold the daughter he had not seen for more than ten years in his arms like he did more than ten years ago.
But how could he have imagined that what came before his daughter's arms was a sharp blade.
When the cold pain came from his chest, Shao Dongxu's body suddenly froze in place, as motionless as a sculpture.
Then, like a rusty robot, he lowered his head with difficulty.
With his eyes shaking violently, he saw a kitchen knife stuck in his chest, and Yao Yanyan's hands were still holding the handle of the knife.
Unbelievable emotions burst out in his mind, and despair and fear filled Shao Dongxu's face in an instant.
He seemed to be unable to believe what he was seeing at this moment... What should have been welcomed by his daughter was the warm embrace that he had been away from for more than ten years, but why was it that a knife was stuck in his chest?
"Ah ah ah ah..."
Severe pain spread from his heart. This pain implicated all the nerves in his body in an instant, causing Shao Dongxu to involuntarily open his mouth and cry out in pain.
A cold sense of imminent death enveloped Shao Dongxu's world. He let out a dry growl from his mouth, staggered backwards, and finally sat down on the ground with a "bang".
Shao Dongxu looked blankly at the knife stuck in his chest, and his suit was stained dark red with blood, then he looked up at Yao Yanyan, and a hoarse sound came out from the collision of his pale lips.
"Why... why..."
His questions were destined to get no answers.
Facing the dying Shao Dongxu, Yao Yanyan still remained calm enough.
She took two steps forward, raised her hand to hold the handle of the knife, and then pulled the fruit knife out of Shao Dongxu's chest.
"Pfft-"
A stream of blood arrows shot out, staining the gorgeous stage and Yao Yanyan's clothes.
"In this way, my mother should be able to rest in peace down there."
The cold breath of death and the rapid loss of physical strength made it impossible for Shao Dongxu's will to support his body.
With a "bang", he lay down completely on the ground, but still cocked his neck and looked at Yao Yanyan with wide eyes.
But Yao Yanyan did not look at him again. She just looked down at the bloody fruit knife in her hand and murmured: "Because she refused to divorce you, that woman killed my mother. I originally wanted to The two of you will be sent together to see my mother, but since she took the first step, she can only find you... Well, in this way, my mother should be able to rest in peace."
Upon hearing this, Shao Dongxu, who was already on the verge of death, trembled violently, and the fear and despair in his eyes also shook away.
Then, sadness and relief filled his eyes.
Shao Dongxu stretched out his trembling right hand towards Yao Yanyan. His pale lips kept opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something, but his rapidly blurring consciousness no longer allowed him to make any more sounds.
Until the end, he closed his eyes happily, and until the world completely fell into darkness, what he recalled in his mind was still his happiest past.
……
In the summer of more than twenty years ago, compared to the Magic City as the economic center, the Imperial City may not be the most prosperous, but it is definitely the most solemn city.
How many people rush to big cities one after another in order to pursue their illusory but extremely beautiful dreams in their short lives.
There was such a young man who came to the imperial capital after graduating from college and became a member of the "Beijing Drifters".
Like many young people, the teenager has dreamed of becoming a star since he was a child. Even when he was in middle school, he pestered his parents to pay for him to take professional music lessons.
But unfortunately, having dreams and having abilities are two different things. The boy's talent in music is not outstanding, and he only learned basic singing skills and guitar playing skills after a long period of study.
Later, his parents stopped allowing him to take music lessons because he had no talent.
However, although the boy is not very talented, he has good perseverance. Even though his teachers do not think highly of him and his parents do not support him, he will still seize all available time to practice his favorite music.
In this way, he practiced from middle school to university. Due to his average academic performance, he failed to get into his favorite music school. However, he was still not discouraged and joined a music club after entering university.
Every day, in addition to going to class, he discusses music, sings and plays with his classmates in the same club, and from time to time he runs to the street to sing.
For the young man, although he was still a little confused about the future during that time, he was still happy and fulfilled.
Such days lasted for four years. After graduating from college, the young man resolutely came to the Imperial Capital.
He first rented a small house with the savings he had saved during four years of college, and then found a simple job. After get off work every day, he would go to the park with his guitar and sing.
One day, two days, three days... one month, two months, three months...
Days like this lasted for half a year. Gradually, the pressure of life began to make the young man feel confused about the future. Every day when he wakes up, he will get out of bed in a hurry. After washing, he will go to the bus or subway.
In order to have his wages deducted for being late, he often didn't even have time to sit down and have breakfast. He simply ate a sandwich on his commute every day, and then hurried to the company, and then faced an endless amount of work. , intrigues among colleagues, and blows and oppression from leaders.
In just half a year, the young man who once had dreams and a bright face has been smoothed away by life.
He became more and more numb, and only the time when he went to the park with his guitar to sing after get off work would make him feel alive.
But this has been going on for a long time, and even his favorite music cannot make him feel relieved and at ease.
So he began to doubt himself—am I really not talented in music? Is my insistence wrong? Would my life be better if I used the time I spent playing and singing after get off work to do some part-time work? Even if I go home directly, will I be able to live a more relaxed life?
Questioning voices emerged in the young man's mind one after another. The tight thread in his mind was about to break, and once it broke, it meant that the dream he had held on to for many years would instantly come to naught.
It was also at this time that the girl appeared.
The first time the two met was in the park where the boy played and sang every day. On that day, after get off work, the boy came to the park with his guitar in his arms as usual.
He thought, let's play and sing this song for the last time, and after this time, give up on that ridiculous musical dream.
With this idea in mind, he slowly finished playing and singing the song, and just when he was putting away his guitar and about to leave, a clear and beautiful voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Are you leaving?"
The young man looked up and saw a young girl standing in front of him.
She is not extremely beautiful, but she looks like a fairy from the outside world under the setting sun on the horizon.
The young man wanted to respond, but found that his heartbeat was a little faster, so he could only lower his head and say "hmm".
So the girl said again: "You used to sing for at least an hour each time. Why did you leave after singing only one song today? Is something wrong?"
The girl's words made the boy realize that she had been listening to him singing before. Otherwise, how would he know that he sang for at least an hour every time?
This made the boy's already accelerated heartbeat become even faster.
"It's nothing, it's just that no one wants to listen to me sing. I...I work and am quite busy on weekdays, so I just thought about singing in the future..."
"How come no one wants to hear you sing? I come to hear you sing every day."
"really?"
"Really, for example, the first song you sang yesterday was this... the first song you sang the day before yesterday was this... and the day before yesterday..."
Listening to the girl recounting the songs she had sung these past few days, the boy's eyes became brighter and brighter.
He naturally started chatting with the girl and discussed things about music, but the girl didn't understand that. She just simply liked singing, so the boy began to complain again, saying that he clearly pursued music more than anyone else, but now he couldn't. Don’t be forced to bow your head under the pressure of life.
At this time, the girl stood up and said to him with a smile: "As long as you are still willing to sing, I am willing to listen to your songs forever."
At this moment, the girl was no longer a fairy in the eyes of the boy, but became an angel.
Like every couple who falls in love, they quickly came together and soon became husband and wife and had a lovely little daughter.
He named his daughter Shao Yan, hoping that she would smile like a flower every day.
However, although married life is satisfying, the pressure of life is still increasing day by day.
The man has thought more than once that he should give up music, so that he can devote himself more to work and make his wife less tired.
But every time at this time, his wife would hug him tenderly, and then express her support and optimism for him with soft words.
She said that she believed that one day a man would stand out and become the most dazzling star on the screen.
In this way, with the support of his wife, the man became more determined in his dream and sang everywhere day after day, just hoping that God would favor him.
In the process, he saw his wife's hard work in his eyes, and he became more and more guilty.
He thought that when he became a big star, he would dress his wife and children in the most beautiful clothes and live in the biggest house.
Finally one day, the man stationed in the tavern was attracted by a woman, and she expressed her willingness to provide the man with a chance to get ahead.
The surprise came so suddenly that the man agreed without much thought. Then he participated in the talent show under the arrangement of the woman and became a slightly famous singer in one fell swoop.
He began to appear frequently in the public eye, participating in various activities, and was taken by women to attend various high-end venues and banquets.
It wasn't until the woman revealed her true feelings and expressed her love for him and hoped to marry him that he realized that he could no longer break free from the invisible shackles around him.
Not knowing how to face his wife and daughter, he chose to escape.
However, the strong woman did not allow him to drag on forever.
The man didn't know what she did. He only knew that on his daughter's birthday, he hid in the woman's house for a whole day without going out, but the woman went out at night.
And since that day, the woman has never forced him to divorce again.
The man felt relieved, but at the same time he was a little confused, so he secretly returned home and took a look, only to find that the house was already empty.
It wasn't until his neighbor asked him to express his condolences with regret after seeing him that the man realized what he had lost without knowing it.
He never thought why his wife and daughter would suddenly die in a car accident, but the intense pain still made it difficult for him to recover for a long time.
During this process, the woman stayed with him and slowly entered his heart, and he finally got out of the pain, married the woman, and gave birth to his second child.
When more than half of his life has passed, a man will dream back to more than ten years ago, when he could not sleep at night in the pain of losing a loved one.
He originally thought that all of this was a trick of fate, but only now did he realize that it was not others but himself who created all of this.
……
"Sorry……"
The man used all his strength to make the last sound in this life, and finally fell into silence.
