Chapter 001: Picking Up a Strange Daughter

The kitchen and bathroom were inspected thoroughly, while the other areas were nearly scanned at a glance

But... where on earth did this come from? I was almost scared to death by her

This is also a dream, a dream that has repeatedly appeared in Su Wenhao's nights over the years

At that moment, Su Wenhao suddenly thought of something. Without even putting on his shoes, he opened the door and walked outside. Being cautious, he first needed to ensure that there were no other people in the house besides this little girl, to avoid falling into a trap.

Without any warning, he fell down, landing on his shoulder first. In that instant, Su Wenhao felt a sudden numbness spread through half of his body

Zhonghai City, midsummer

The most hopeless life is not when your girlfriend leaves you, nor when she gets engaged to someone who is not you, but rather when you are abruptly awakened by the merciless alarm clock before you have fully woken up. This damn life gives you a rude awakening early in the morning, forcing you to drag your weary body to the job market in search of a job that can make ends meet

Hmm

Father

Five years old? Or six years old? Or seven years old?

"Daddy—" At this moment, the little girl, wearing her small leather shoes, came out, her little mouth pouting, still feeling a bit wronged

A piercing scream echoed through the sky as it erupted from his throat. Su Wenhao could swear that for the first time in his life, he felt he could scream so unrestrainedly, his eardrums nearly shattered by the force of his own voice

The little girl instinctively took a small step back, her sensitive nature detecting that her father in front of her seemed somewhat dangerous. She couldn't even afford to feel wronged, her large eyes filled with deep panic

Specialized in snatching bags and mobile phones, some even use helmets to knock you unconscious, and then ransack all your belongings

Having been independent since childhood, Su Wenhao has navigated society for many years, experiencing a multitude of events. Therefore, he approaches everything with great caution

Su Wenhao could not pay attention to these matters; he turned over and got up, staggering and falling twice more before finally managing to steady himself. He retreated to the door of the bedroom, and he was completely awake.

On this day, there was almost no gain, and he walked back weakly, still thinking about those few incompetent people from earlier, his mouth unconsciously cursing. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and Su Wenhao fainted. In the mere fraction of a second before losing consciousness, his first thought was that he had encountered a motorcycle gang

Su Wenhao furrowed his brow slightly, curled his lips, and ignored her. His thoughts raced as he searched for previous memories; he truly did not understand how a strange girl had appeared in his home

Su Wenhao, lying on the bed, trembled slightly and struggled to open his eyes, squinting through a narrow slit

Oh dear

Who is your father? Please stop joking, a grown man cannot give birth just by relying on his hands! Are you kidding me?

Or perhaps it is all because of that dream, for over the years, I have long since become accustomed to this dream

Bang!

At eight o'clock in the morning, a deafening and annoying mobile phone alarm clock rang at the bedside

A pair of large eyes, just, just like this, staring at him from a close distance, without blinking.

In a state of lingering shock, Su Wenhao's voice trembled slightly

Is it because of nostalgia for the past, or is it because one can never let go, unable to release the hatred within? Or is it that one cannot forget the love that once was?

This rental unit is not large, consisting of one bedroom and one living room, and it only costs seven hundred per month. Even in Zhonghai, even if it is outside the outer ring, such rent is truly not expensive. In total, including water, electricity, and rent, it amounts to less than one thousand yuan per month

When I returned in the evening, after coming out of the subway station, there was still a distance to my home.

Recalling the events that took place yesterday

Rubbing his disheveled hair, Su Wenhao sat up weakly, appearing listless. After being startled awake, his head felt somewhat dizzy and heavy, and he hung his head, taking a moment to regain his senses

Spicy and annoying!

This is a letter, a letter from a long time ago

In the outer ring area, within a rental unit!

The memories that followed became fragmented, akin to the feeling of being drunk, no matter how hard I tried, I could not recall them. And then...! ... I was awakened by the alarm clock, along with this mysterious "little girl"!

It is difficult to discern her true age, but the little girl is very cute, wearing a pink dress. Her two small braids are somewhat loose due to sleep, and she has a pair of white leggings underneath. Her eyes are round and bright, her complexion rosy, and she resembles a delicately carved porcelain doll.

Su Wenhao's heart stopped for a moment

I have fragmented memories and many questions. How did I come back by myself

After losing his job, Su Wenhao, as usual, went to the job market to submit his resume in the morning and then went to an internet café in the afternoon to submit resumes online, while also playing a few games, well, alright, he played quite a few games.

... ...

... As fate would have it, we have ultimately arrived at this point. I am truly exhausted and must leave home. ... ... I have been arranged for a marriage, though devoid of love, I have no other choice ... ... Not meeting is simply because I do not know how to face you, and I suppose you do not know how to face me either, so. ... ... Let it be this way, please forgive my selfishness ... ... Signed: Liu Ning, who once loved you.

In a state between dreaming and waking, my bleary eyes gradually adjusted to the blinding sunlight, and in the remaining light, I noticed the presence of a strange object beside me

And with the book until now, the little girl also came to her senses and smiled sweetly

The curtains in the room were not drawn, and the morning sunlight was gentle yet somewhat glaring, causing Su Wenhao's brows to furrow tightly together

The little girl with big eyes

Daddy! The little girl heard Su Wenhao's words. Some of the words were incomprehensible to her, but she understood that her father seemed to dislike her. Pouting her lips, her big eyes brimmed with tears, looking pitiful.

After thinking for half a day, I still have no information about this "little girl" in my memory

Recalling some events, Su Wenhao raised his hand and touched the back of his head. It was neither painful nor swollen. Could it be that... he was not robbed after all

Wenhao, after more than five years of being together day and night, I once thought that you were the worst acquaintance of my life, yet the most beautiful outcome. One day, I will surely be able to wear the wedding dress you personally knitted for me... However, now, none of this seems so important anymore. You cannot enter my world, and I cannot enter yours. We are like two lovers gazing at each other through windows in parallel worlds, so close, yet so distant.

Moreover, is there still such a benefit when renting a house

Su Wenhao is not foolish. Although this little girl is quite adorable, her sudden appearance nearly scared him to death, and she even called him "dad." She is either an unintentional offspring left behind from a bar visit, or there is a grand conspiracy at play. Is it a honey trap or not?

Uh ... is it a girl

The landlord's daughter

The little girl had just been awakened by the alarm clock, sitting on the side with her big eyes wide open, looking at Su Wenhao, and later she was startled by Su Wenhao's scream

I couldn't help but whisper: "Damn it!"

The little girl's voice was crisp and sweet, with a very high sugar content. When she called out "Daddy," Su Wenhao felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, more out of fright than anything else

Ah ! ! ! !

That's right, girl

Unconsciously retreating to the side, but the side is just the edge of the bed

It has been several days since he was dismissed, and one can easily imagine Su Wenhao's current state of mind

Little one, it seems we need to have a talk! Su Wenhao narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing fiercely within them

Su Wenhao turned his head in confusion and looked to his side

This is no longer important; what matters is that the dream has ended, and it is a new day again

As soon as he opened his eyes in the early morning and was bathed in sunlight, it should have been a good start to the day, but Su Wenhao felt particularly troubled because of that dream

Who are you

Not possible, the landlord is in his fifties and looks like a ghost, how could he possibly have such a lovely daughter

Little girl

With his heart racing and leaning against the door, Su Wenhao's chest rose and fell rapidly, his pupils dilating as he gazed at the pair of large eyes on the bed

Until the evening, dinner was eaten at the internet café
