Chapter 103: No more lonely evil calamity
Ningguang had a good talk with old man Mo Ran, and after agreeing to buy an existing store and convert it into a pharmacy. The dinner that started with great enthusiasm did not end in disappointment, and the little episode in the middle was not a big deal.
But Shen He was still worried. After dinner, he walked around the street with Ning Guang and took the opportunity to say, "Sister Ning Guang, you really shouldn't blame Master. It's not easy for Master to raise several children alone. If you leave again, Master won't say anything, but he will feel bad."
Ningguang stretched out her jade arms and embraced the little girl with frost hair who was two or three years younger than her. She said softly, "How dare I blame the old man? If he really kicks me out, I will be the one crying!"
Perhaps because she was feeling depressed and had to talk it out, Ningguang, who usually didn't reveal much of her inner thoughts to others, talked for a long time with this non-blood related sister.
"The old man has helped me so many times. He took me in when I was in the most difficult time. He didn't care whether I could pay Mora or not. He just brought the food to me without worrying about losing money."
"You still remember what happened later, little girl. I suffered countless losses, and all the money was made up by the old man. Otherwise, I would have been finished long ago. How could I have become Ningguang, who now has assets worth hundreds of millions and controls several chambers of commerce?"
"So don't worry. There's nothing that the old man and I can't get over. We just made it clear. Actually, I was a little scared just now, but I'm lucky that the old man didn't hit me."
Ningguang smiled, charming everyone with her peach blossom eyes, which were gentle and deep, and contained countless secrets. She said, "Go back quickly, little girl, or the old man might worry that I'll kidnap you."
Shen He smiled and said, "No, we are all children in the eyes of the master, and such a thing will not happen."
"That's not necessarily true!" Ningguang looked at the starry sky, her peach blossom eyes reflecting the starry sky, and her fingertips full of gold.
…………
After Shen He finished persuading his master, he hurried back home. His master was sitting on the roof, with his chin supported by one hand and his feet stretched out over the eaves, looking at him in silence.
"Master, Sister Ningguang just said that she was worried about your health and asked me to come back to check on you. Are you okay?" Shen He pretended to be confused, jumped onto the roof and sat next to his master.
Mo Ran turned around and smiled, "How could Shen He not tell if I'm okay? I seem to remember that the once diligent little girl was so scared when I sneezed that she acted like I had an incurable disease."
Shen He's beautiful face was covered with a faint blush, adding a bit of spring color, "Yes, but I don't know when that little girl will have a home, not with her master, but with the father who raised her for nearly seven years."
Shen He's voice became smaller and smaller as time went on, and the word "father" was even hidden in his throat and not uttered out loud. However, the girl, whose ears were extremely rosy, already wanted to bury her head in his arms.
Mo Ran closed his eyes, then suddenly smiled, and slowly lay down on the roof with his hands on his head, and said slowly: "Shen He, Shen He, if you don't say something, others won't know it. Even if I'm your master, I can't guess it."
"What did you just say? Say it again! Master can agree to anything you want." Mo Ran didn't know if he really didn't know or was intentionally teasing him.
Shen He's body was tense and she felt uncomfortable all over. She felt hot and uneasy inside. She was struggling between speaking and not speaking. Finally, she spoke.
His voice was much louder than the last time. "I want to acknowledge Master as my father! Please grant my wish, Master!"
In Shen He's expectant eyes, Mo Ran nodded and said with a smile: "Once a teacher, always a father. What else do you need me to do? Shen He, have you forgotten what you said when we first met?"
Shen He smiled happily and blushed as he called out, "Father, father."
Mo Ran let out a sigh, stood up and gently rubbed Shen He's pretty face. It was still so hot and so comfortable.
"Think carefully, has Shen He forgotten what day it is today? This is a very important day, a day that only comes once a year." Mo Ran reminded.
Shen He lowered his head and could only see a patch of red in the white. He thought carefully and said, "Today is March 10th. What important day is it?"
Mo Ran held his forehead and smiled helplessly, "It's your birthday! How come Qiqi's memory is good, but Shen He's brain is not so good!"
"Yes, my birthday..." Shen He realized it belatedly and remembered that today was her birthday. Because she hadn't been busy recently and time passed so quickly, Shen He could hardly remember the date.
Mo Ran stood up, forming a seal with his hands, and said with an imposing aura, "Today is also the day you come of age. As your master, oh no, as your father, I should give you a gift."
Mo Ran changed his words in time under Shen He's gaze, and then said: "From now on, there will be no more lonely evil calamity, there will only be Shen He, a good girl who no longer suffers from the pain of fate!"
The seal in Mo Ran's hand changed, and he slowly untied the red rope soul-binding seal on Shen He's body. The seal created by the four immortals was broken in an instant and disappeared without a trace.
Shen He felt the heat in his heart and laughed from the bottom of his heart. It was a real laugh, not a forced one.
Although she had shown her emotions in front of her family members before, in the eyes of outsiders, she was just a beautiful sculpture, without any human touch. Instead, she looked like an immortal who was not affected by the mundane world.
Now, the fate has changed, and there is no need to lock the life with a red rope anymore. The imprisoned emotions finally fill the heart again.
At this moment, respect, love, reverence, everything, all the emotions came back. Shen He's expression became much more lively, his eyes were misty, his eyes were red, his eyes were rolling, all turned into two words in his mouth.
"Father." Shen He rested his head on his lap, tears welling up in his eyes. He couldn't stop crying. He said to himself, "Oh, why? It's something I should be happy about. Why is Shen He crying?"
Mo Ran placed his warm hand on Shen He's forehead, which was cooled by the evening breeze, and said softly, "Maybe he is crying for joy. It's okay. This is the first time I've seen Shen He cry! This is human nature. Shen He will no longer be the 'immortal' who has no joy or sorrow!"
"Well, having my father by my side is Shen He's greatest luck in life." Shen He burst into laughter, very happily, turned over, rested her chin on her master's leg, and swung her calves back and forth.
It seems like a teenage daughter playing and chatting with her easy-going father should be a normal scene, but there are not many parent-child relationships like this in the world.
Either the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, or the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there, or children are so impulsive for the sake of the person they like that they break up with their parents and never have any contact with them until they die.
In the first place, it was because of the wrong time, and in the second place, it was because of the discord between people. How many people know how to cherish something only after they lose it, but it is too late, and they regret it only then.
However, these two most likely kinship events in the world could not have happened between the two of them, because one was almost immortal, and the other would not be deceived by sweet words, let alone elopement, which was a routine in vulgar stories.
The moonlight is charming and the stars are dim.
Mo Ran looked up at the familiar dome. After meeting Alice, this starry sky, where he thought there was no place for him, became his growth place.
Shen He, who was resting his head on his daughter's special pillow, looked away. Suddenly, he remembered something and pouted, "Father, when we were walking on the street together recently, people around us said we were brother and sister, not father and daughter."
Mo Ran laughed in silence and said softly, "What should I do? How about I get older, so that I look more like the right age."
Shen He shook his head and said firmly: "No, I don't want my father to grow old. My father will never grow old. If others say we are brother and sister again, Shen He will explain it to them clearly. If they don't listen, Shen He will knock their heads on the floor three times!"
Mo Ran just smiled it off. He was having a lot of fun at the moment, except that he was missing a beautiful lady by his side, and a pair of elves connected by blood. It was still a bit regrettable, not much, but how could the footprints left in the snow leave no trace?
In life, eight out of ten things are not as we wish, so the remaining one or two are precious. Just as Shen He said that he did not want his father to grow old, it is the thought of every child in his childhood.
How could the carefree children know that their father, who seemed to be upright and omnipotent, able to reach for the moon in the sky but also catch turtles in the five oceans, would eventually grow old, lose his strength, his black hair would turn white, and his back would become hunched.
No child has ever thought that their father will grow old, so old that when the dust settles and the oil runs out, they will be separated from each other forever, and they will never see each other again.
