Chapter 78

So when I was at home during the holidays, I created opportunities for my father and mother many times and arranged for them to meet.After the third "encounter", my mother talked to me.My temperament is often like that of my mother, and I ask straightforwardly without procrastinating: "Xiao Ru, do you disapprove of me marrying someone else?"

I panicked for a moment, then forced myself to reply calmly: "No." But I couldn't help but said: "Dad is different now, can't you... try again?"

Mom looked at me deeply for a while, then nodded, "Got it."

After that, my mother never mentioned the matter of remarriage to me, nor did she introduce anyone to me.And Dad seems to have made adjustments, he shifted his focus of work back to City A, and the circus no longer comes to every show, because with his reputation there, magic performers will come here especially.Dad even has a plan to teach classes to spread the concept of magic.

In my opinion, the relationship between my father and my mother is gradually getting better, and maybe one day they will announce to me that they are going to remarry.

Until that day, my illusions were shattered.

It was an important performance that had been publicized for a long time, and it was put on Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, as a New Year's gift.As the finale, Dad performed the famous work "Flying the Wall".Although my father has performed this show countless times, I know that many elements have been added behind the scenes, and many new props have also been added.The props are all made by my father.

Dad gave me two tickets to the Grand Theater in advance. Although Zhou Yu doesn't like magic, I still called him.He also agreed on the phone, but I waited outside the Grand Theater until the performance started and no one came.

I couldn't get through to him on the phone, and I didn't want to miss the performance, so I sent Zhou Yu a text message and went in first.

I was a little restless during the period, Zhou Yu rarely let me go, I can't help thinking that he really resists my father's performance so much?
I sent a few more text messages without getting a reply, and I felt unhappy in my heart.Can't you call ahead if you don't come?What is that?My mood was affected, and the programs in the stands felt dull and boring. It was not until the host announced that my father was going to play that I could concentrate and watch carefully.

But as soon as my dad came on stage, I felt that he seemed to be in a bad state. Others couldn't see it. How could I not understand it as his daughter.Turning around the stage again, he found that the assistant was not Wei Lai, but a strange face.

Although I am not engaged in this industry, I know that a magic show does not depend entirely on the magician himself, it requires the cooperation of superb props and very tacit assistants.I wondered when my father changed his assistant. From a certain point of view, we must admit that Wei Lai is talented in magic, and he can grasp every point with great accuracy. The cooperation with his father can be said to be seamless.

Now that there is a new face, it is obvious that this person is unfamiliar.There were a few times where the details were a little bit off, and the experienced dad covered it up, and it was the most exciting part.According to the past, if Dad didn't wear a seat belt, people would walk sideways on the side of the six-meter-high platform. In order to increase the special effect, there would be blue night lights flashing on Dad's clothes, causing a strong visual conflict to the audience.

When Dad stood on the high platform, inexplicably, my eyelids began to jump.

The hands hanging by my sides were unconsciously clenched, and I even held my breath when my father turned sideways and gradually descended, but in the next moment, a blue light flashed across, and there was a blunt bang.

There was deathly silence!

I don't know who exclaimed first, which woke everyone up.After the commotion, noise, and booing, I got out of my chair and ran backstage with a slow reaction.I can't believe it, my dad fell off that high platform just now!
The backstage has been messed up.

No matter how I explained it, the security guards who maintained order at the scene refused to let me go.I could only go through the crowd to search for my father, and finally saw my father sitting with his back in a dark corner, with medical staff doing the examination beside him.

This performance is a foreign exchange performance, and there are media and leaders under it. The impact of such a performance accident is very great.The media did not miss such an opportunity to investigate the situation, and learned from the person in charge that the father fell down and did not cause any serious problems, he just sprained his foot, and he will go to the hospital for a full body checkup later.

Someone asked what caused the performance accident?Is the magician's own technology not good or other reasons?
The person in charge did not give a definite answer, but only evaded it vaguely.

Seeing a gap, I ducked in without anyone noticing, but was quickly discovered.At that time, I was only a few meters away from my father. He turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at me for a moment, but then hung down lonely the next moment.

When I was expelled from the backstage, someone called me, and I turned my head to see the male assistant with a strange face.

He said: Teacher Jia asked me to come out and tell you that he is fine, you should go back first.

I eagerly stepped forward and grabbed him and asked: What happened just now?Why did my dad fall off the top?

His eyes darkened, and he said guiltily: I didn't cooperate well with Teacher Jia, and I don't know why Wei Lai didn't come, so I was replaced temporarily.I have only watched Mr. Jia's performance before, and have never operated it formally. I accidentally pulled the wrong rope just now.Fortunately, the safety cushion underneath was thick, and Teacher Jia only sprained his foot, which was fine.

The source of the accident is here, but I have nothing to say.

Turning his eyes away and looking at that place again, the person in charge stood in front of his father and said something with an excited expression, while his father buried his head and remained silent.

The higher you climb, the harder it hurts to fall.

Maybe my father was just sprained from the fall, but the psychological burden may intensify.

I looked around, and there was no regret, comfort, or sympathy on the faces around me. They all regarded this incident as a commotion. They were curious and ridiculed, and felt that it could be a point of conversation after dinner.

Looking at my dad's shrunken back again, I turned and walked out of the theater.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhou Yu's number, this time it was connected.After only two rings, the other side was picked up, and Zhou Yu's voice came over: "Jia Xiaoru, I'm sorry, I have something on my side and I can't get to your side."

I asked, "Zhou Gongjin, can you find Wei Lai?"

He seemed startled, "What's wrong?"

"I want to see her."

"What happened? Jia Xiaoru? Your state is a bit wrong." Zhou Yu was very sensitive, and he immediately noticed something was wrong from my tone and behavior.I didn't want to explain what just happened to him on the phone, so I just said, "I'll tell you later, help me find Wei Lai first." I was thinking that if others couldn't find Wei Lai, Zhou Yu would definitely find him .

But after Zhou Yu paused, a clear voice came from afar: "Wei Lai is with me."

My heart tightened suddenly, and I doubted my ears, "What did you say?"

"She and Mizi are next to me now. You take a taxi to Tianyu Yage on Penghu Road, and I'll tell you when you come over, call me when you arrive."

I hung up the phone, digging my fingernails into my palm.Looking up at the night sky, it was a haze.

Wei Lai, do you know that you shattered the dignity of a magician.If this is your revenge on me, then please come at me.

Sitting in the taxi, my mind is full of the lonely and painful back of my father, and my eyes are moist when I think about it.Dad actually wanted to use this opportunity to reach the top again, and then retire after success, and concentrate on being a magic teacher, teaching some students to do magic performances.

He has hinted to me that my mother hopes to live a stable life.

So he actually wanted to be with his mother again, and even though his mother had thought of remarrying before, she was still trying to get back together with her father.

I think everything is going in a good direction, how could such an accident happen.

Tomorrow's news and newspapers don't know how to evaluate this performance accident, and it will definitely deal a heavy blow to Dad.

When I arrived on Penghu Road, I didn't call Zhou Yu, I went straight into the store, looked around, but couldn't find anyone.A waiter came to ask, I thought about it, and lowered my head to press Zhou Yu's number.

The cell phone rang from a nearby private room. The door was not closed, it was only half-closed, and it opened with a slight push of the finger.

Zhou Yu, who was standing by the door, came into my sight, his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was not very good.

There seemed to be a soft weeping sound coming from inside, needless to say it must be Wei Lai.

I suddenly felt disgusted, why do I have to come to Zhou Yu again and again?This person is my boyfriend.

Just as I was about to open the door and enter, suddenly the mobile phone in my pocket rang. The movement here immediately attracted Zhou Yu to turn his head, and he saw me.When I picked up the phone, Zhou Yu was walking towards me.

But in the next moment, the mobile phone in my hand slipped from my fingertips.

I don't know if the phone was broken, I just know that I turned around mechanically, and then ran away.When I rushed out the door, I was grabbed from behind. I saw Zhou Yu's mouth opening and closing, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.

Asking again and again: "You let go."

He stubbornly refused to let go, he opened his arms to hug me, hugged me tightly in his arms, and talked with his lips against my ear, with a faint voice reaching into the eardrum: "Jia Xiaoru, don't just ask me every time, don't ask me. Can you run? Let me explain this to you."

I raised my head and looked at him with pleading eyes, "Zhou Gongjin, I beg you, please let me go, okay? I..." I couldn't speak the following words because my whole body was trembling.

Doubt flashed across his black eyes, but he refused to let go. He said: "No, if you let you go, you will have trouble with me like last time. This time we will settle the matter once and for all. Wei Lai and I have nothing to do with each other." , this time something happened to her..."

"Shut up! I don't want to listen to your business, my dad had an accident, he had a car accident!"

The last sentence I yelled out hysterically.

Zhou Yu froze, showing shock on his face.

Later he stuffed me into the back seat of the car and asked me repeatedly in the car where the accident happened.

Just now on the phone was a strange voice asking, asking if I knew the owner of that phone, because the owner had a car accident and fell on the road, and the phone number that the owner didn't dial at the end was mine.

Thinking desperately in the chaos, I finally remembered that the address reported by the caller was on Heping Road.

In fact, there is no need to look for it deliberately, because the 120 ambulance roared harshly.As soon as Zhou Yu stopped the car, I rushed out of the car, but felt my legs go limp and fell forward. Zhou Yu hurried over to help me up.

Pushing aside the crowd gathered, I saw my father.

With his head and face covered in blood, he was carried onto a stretcher by the medical staff and was about to be sent to the ambulance, but there was a big puddle of blood in the vacant space under him, and he rolled into a big, big safe fruit.

Today is Christmas Eve...
