not scary story

Chapter 112

After sending the person away, Yan Jiu returned home with a blushing face. Before entering the house, she wiped her lips with the back of her hand guiltily, for fear of being bitten too red.

Maybe because of the long flight, Yan Ling has fallen asleep on the sofa.

Yan Jiu wanted to wake her up and let her go back to her room to sleep, but as soon as she walked over, Yan Ling opened her eyes.

"Has Qiao Yuan gone home?" Yan Ling sat up, gave up half of the sofa to Yan Jiu, and gestured for him to sit down.

Because I haven't seen her for a long time, and because she is too old, Yan Jiu, who has almost forgotten how to act like a baby, sat on the other side unnaturally, her eyes fixed on her mother.

Yan Ling is already a woman in her 40s. Years have aged her once pretty face, but her big eyes inherited from Yan Jiu are always sparkling. Her temperament makes her still a beauty even if she gets old.

When Yan Jiu was very young, he felt that his mother was very beautiful. When he returned to live with his mother, people often came to inquire about his mother's willingness to remarry.Even if there is such an oil bottle like him, even if Yan Ling doesn't stay at home all year round, and her housework is not as good as her son's, it doesn't prevent her from becoming the goddess in the eyes of middle-aged single men in the neighborhood.

He suddenly thought of his father whom he had never met.

It has been more than 20 years, obviously already so tired, obviously there are so many choices, why is my mother always single?

"Do you want to be a policeman?" Yan Ling asked softly, "But you told me last year that you wanted to do a PhD in biology and go to a research institute."

"Well," Yan Jiu came back to his senses and nodded, "Officer Qiao from the Special Investigation Department is Qiao Yuan's cousin. He has had a good talk with me. I want to try it. If it doesn't work, I'll come back and continue my studies. .”

"Aren't you afraid?" Yan Ling wanted to ask this the most. She seemed worried that her son's dignity would be hurt, so she hurriedly added: "Can you still see those things now?"

"Mom, I can see it all the time." This was the first time he confessed to his mother.The cowardly and cowardly boy who didn't dare to open his heart to anyone in the past has now become a young man who can confess to his mother with a wry smile even if he is worried, "Since I was a child, the things I can see have always been It hasn’t changed. The reason why I didn’t dare to tell you is that it’s useless to say it. Even if I close my eyes, I can still feel their existence. You can’t guard me 24 hours a day, so I can only force myself to pretend can not see."

"...I'm sorry," Yan Ling was a little ashamed, and reached out to touch her son's hair, "I'm sorry, Mom has not been able to accompany you."

"Actually, I'm useless," Yan Jiu frowned slightly, "Qiao Yuan could see those things when he was young, but he chose not to retreat but to attack actively, so he always scolded me as useless, obviously the same Experience, we have chosen different ways of dealing with it, so the grievances I suffer are all my own faults."

"It's not your fault," Yan Ling smiled awkwardly, "Didn't Mom tell you about your grandma's life experience?... She was originally a descendant of a family of celestial masters in our city G, and later eloped with your grandfather Just severed the relationship with the family. In that era, strange powers and chaos were absolutely not allowed, and your grandmother could only live incognito, and never mentioned any information about her mother's family."

The first time I heard this story about grandma, Yan Jiu blinked, remembering that grandma had repeatedly told her to live an ordinary life before she was taken away by Bai Wuchang, and finally understood her thoughts.

In modern society, ghosts, foxes and fairies have become a fictional existence, and the profession of celestial master has almost become synonymous with liars, so she is unwilling to let her grandson take this path.Unfortunately, she didn't know that Yan Jiu would be the guide, she just thought that he would be like the other children of the Fang family, and when he was older, he would grow back to be an ordinary human being if he didn't practice Taoism.

Yan Ling didn't know that Yan Jiu had already been to Fang's house, so she roughly mentioned the situation of Xia's house, and Yan Jiu nodded frequently as if she had heard about it for the first time.

Finally, Yan Ling asked again: "Have you really decided to become a policeman?"

Yan Jiu nodded again.

This time, Yan Ling finally showed a gratified smile. "My son is a man now, which is great."

This is the first time Yan Jiu saw tears in the corners of her eyes. For so many years, other people's mothers are only responsible for supporting the family, but his mother has to make money to support the family. No matter how hard or tiring, he has never seen his mother tears.

Yan Jiu couldn't help but hugged her and rubbed her head against her.Just like the way she hugged herself to comfort her when she was very young.

When she fell asleep in the middle of the night, Yan Jiu suddenly felt thirsty. When she got up to drink water, she found that the door of her mother's room was ajar, and the orange light streamed out, and a figure was stretched out of the door by the light.

Yan Jiu thought she was jet-lagged and couldn't fall asleep, so she was about to speak, but when she walked to the door, she stopped suddenly.

No one was looking at her in the dark hall, Yan Ling sat on the bed with an old photo frame in her hand.She rubbed the photo lightly, tears falling down.

If Yan Jiu was shocked by the tears in the corners of his eyes at night, the tears now made him freeze there, not knowing what to do.

His actual vision is of course 2.0 as well, so it shouldn't be hard to see what's in the frame.A man and a woman, although they can't see clearly, but the clues have already made Yan Jiu guess who they are.

What is my father like?

Since he was a child, he has asked this question countless times, but no matter whether it is his mother or grandmother, the answer is "an ordinary person, an ordinary university teacher".

It's not that he hasn't explored before, but it's as if this person has never existed in his family, and he can't find any clues at all. By the time he has the ability to check the personnel lists of major universities, the name Chen Xutao has long since disappeared from the files. up.

In the past 20 years, he has never seen anyone from the Chen family come to visit him, as if after Chen Xutao passed away, the Yan family has nothing to do with them.

Yan Jiu has no way of knowing what kind of person his father is, why his mother never married again, and why he didn't receive any love from the Chen family when he was born?

He always thought that his mother was strong enough inside, so he disdained to be attached to a man.Until now he saw these tears that he couldn't stop.

He remembered that when he was in the most uncomfortable time, he couldn't cry at all. Only when he saw Qiao Yuan, the grievance in his heart would be infinitely magnified to an uncontrollable level.

That's because in front of the person I love the most, the fragility in my heart can't be stopped at all.

Suddenly, I really want to know, my mother has been persevering for more than 20 years, has my father received this infatuation?

Standing quietly in the dark for a long time, Yan Ling's tears actually made a crazy idea slowly emerge in his heart.

Except for a photo locked by Yan Ling, Yan Jiu has no clue at all.He wanted to find the key, but Yan Ling seemed to be staying at home with Yan Jiu every day to make up for the regret of not being at home all year round.

How could she dare to look for the key under her nose? Yan Jiu thought about it for a long time on the bed, until watching the program with Yan Ling, the scene of the police logging into the information database to investigate the suspect's information finally gave him some inspiration.

As the end of the year approached, Officer Qiao was more free. Yan Jiu invited someone to the newly opened beef hot pot restaurant with just one phone call.

In the gurgling steam, Yan Jiu carefully asked Qiao Xia to help investigate a person's information.

"Investigate your father?" Qiao Xia was so surprised that he even forgot to eat the beef caught in the air.

"Well, my mother refuses to say anything, I want to find out by myself... If it's inconvenient, let it go." Yan Jiu habitually left room for the other party.

Qiao Xia and Shen Yutao glanced at each other, and finally Shen Yutao nodded: "Anyway, you have to do a background check, and it's not illegal to investigate in advance, but after the investigation, do you really want to go to the Chen family?"

Yan Jiu was stunned for a while, and said yes with a dry smile, but her heart was beating drums all the time, for fear that they would see something.

"This family is really good enough. Using Yan Jiuke's dead father as an excuse, they don't even fulfill their support obligations." Qiao Xia snorted coldly.

"Are you going alone? Let's not wait for Qiao Yuan to come back together?" Shen Yutao was not at ease, just by looking at this unfeeling posture, he knew that these relatives were not easy to mess with.

If Qiao Yuan knew what he was going to do, he would definitely tie himself to the bed until he couldn't get off, right?Yan Jiu has a deep understanding of Young Master Qiao's unique punishment cheats.

When he got Chen Xutao's information and found the university where he worked before his death, he finally knew why Yan Ling met him.

Chen Xutao is a teaching assistant at Yan Ling's university. From the few words asked by some old professors, one can describe how gentle and dignified he is.

In the end, Yan Jiu finally found Chen Xutao's experiment report and a few photos with different people in the old documents.

Yan Jiu gently touched the face that he was not familiar with at all, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Are you still there? You should be still there, right? Let me meet you, okay?"
