Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Jiang Sheng didn't step out of the bedroom door all afternoon.

The old and the young downstairs also knew that she needed time to digest the sudden influx of memories, so they didn't bother her.

It wasn't until two minutes before seven o'clock that the door was knocked.

Jiang Yan tapped the door twice with his index knuckles before saying, "It's me."

On the other side of the door, Jiang Sheng, who was half leaning on the velvet sofa, was hugging a soft pillow, staring at the ceiling absentmindedly.

When she heard the voice, she turned her head suddenly, her thoughts were still confused, and she responded first: "Huh?"

Jiang Yan didn't ask her anything, just said: "It's almost seven o'clock, there is freshly cooked porridge downstairs, as well as steamed dumplings and muffins."

Jiang Sheng was in a trance, his thoughts were confused, he didn't hear what he said at all, but he went to open the door anyway.

The girl standing in front of him had disheveled hair and a dazed expression, as if she hadn't recovered yet.

Jiang Yan slowed down his voice, and asked with a nonchalant smile, "Or do you want to eat something else?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head and coughed hoarsely: "Let's go downstairs."

Grandpa was sitting in the lounge area of ​​the living room. The TV was on, but it was a children's channel. He didn't pay attention to it when he saw it.

He didn't turn his head when he heard the movement behind him, he just said to the front: "Come down."

Jiang Sheng didn't answer, walked over slowly, and squatted down in front of his grandfather's knee: "I want to ask you a few questions."

Grandpa smiled frankly: "Ask."

Jiang Sheng took a deep breath: "First, is sister's death destined?"

Grandpa was stunned for a while, but he didn't know how to answer: "This..."

Three steps away, the TV screen is showing SpongeBob SquarePants cutting off a corner of his own head with scissors.

He happily conjured up a miniature version of himself, and the cut hole grew out again with a "chirp".

Pai Daxing followed suit, raised his hand and pulled his head, turning into a miniature Pai Xiaodai.

However, no one paid attention here.

Jiang Sheng looked into his grandfather's eyes: "Back when the news of my sister's sudden death reached home, I was worried that you would be in a bad mood and have an accident, so I took two weeks off to deal with the funeral with you."

SpongeBob SquarePants on the screen said: [Okay Patrick, we will not be separated again. ]
"But you didn't see the slightest sadness and decadence, and you comforted me by saying that my sister went to another world."

SpongeBob then added: [It's the same without being together. ]
"How can I believe the childish words? I only said that you were trying to make me feel better... and you laughed at me for treating me, who is almost an adult, as a three-year-old child."

Pai Daxing was elated: [It's really awesome. ]
"Now that I think about it, I should be the one who should be laughed at. Your words are true, but I didn't take them to heart."

At this time, Pai Daxing was waving away with Little Sponge: [See you forever, SpongeBob SquarePants. ]
SpongeBob SquarePants also left from another direction, holding Pai Xiaodai in his hands: [Yes, see you forever, Pai Daxing. ]
Seeing that Grandpa remained silent, Jiang Sheng lowered his eyes and said lightly: "You don't need to answer this question, but please answer the second doubt for me."

Grandpa moved the hand of the remote control, pressed the pause button, and the living room was instantly silent.

The screen stays at the moment when SpongeBob SquarePants returns to the Pineapple House with Pai Xiaodai.

"Second question." She continued to speak, and paused word by word, "Who the hell am I?"

"When I was in the orphanage, you insisted on adopting me. Why?"

"You must know why my sister and I will go to another world, right?"

grandfather:……

He smiled: "Xiao Sheng, you have more than one question."

Jiang Sheng raised his eyes and looked at him stubbornly: "It's one, you know it's one."

Grandpa sighed and helped her up: "Sit down first, your legs should be numb."

Jiang Sheng stood up and sat on the sofa.

Looking at the girl he raised with his own hands, Grandpa slowly opened his mouth: "It's not that I didn't tell you, it's because you were too young and knew too much, so I'm afraid you won't be able to raise her up."

"Back when I was traveling abroad because of a lack of merit, I happened to meet you who were just born and have incomplete souls. I am afraid that you will die soon..." Grandpa slowly recalled, "It is also fate, whether I am with you or your sisters. between."

"Later, I figured out that there is your center, spirit and wisdom here, so I brought you here, leaving only a touch of spiritual consciousness in the original body, so as not to completely lose the cognitive ability, so that I can go back in the future."

"But I was still young at that time, and I was still inexperienced. I successfully brought your sister here, but I didn't know where you devoted yourself. I didn't find you until six years later."

Grandpa smiled: "I've made you suffer for six years, but I'm sorry for you."

Jiang Sheng frowned, but still shook his head.

Grandpa went on to say: "After all, you are not from here. You will go back to your own place when you become an adult, but I don't know exactly when, until your sister's bad news came..."

"I went back to see her."

"Xiaozheng has to be strong-tempered and intelligent. Before graduating from university, she started her own company and started her own company. When she went to a strange place, the business also flourished, so I felt relieved."

He raised his two children on the premise that they would go back in the future since they were young, and hoped that they would still have the means to get close to them in that less comfortable era.

Looking at it now, this merit is quite complete.

"Last summer, when I came back from exercise in the morning, I found that you hadn't woken up yet, and I didn't take it to heart... It wasn't until noon, and I didn't hear anything, that I had doubts in my heart."

"No one answered the phone... I went to your room and found that your eyes were closed, but you were still breathing. You just couldn't wake up, so I sent you to the hospital."

"You also know what happened later... You have been there for nearly a year. In April, I found that your physical condition was very unstable, and it seemed that you were about to wake up... So I managed to call your soul back."

"Xiao Sheng." Grandpa finished telling the story and heaved a long sigh.

He watched Jiang Sheng grow up from such a young age to what he is now, kind, optimistic, and sensible. Although he is not bound by blood, his relationship is better than that of relatives.

"This world doesn't reject you, and you can't go back there, so I hid that memory of yours, so as not to worry about it in the future...Although you are a little clever, you are pure in heart. Compared with that, maybe This world is better for you."

"But since you are obsessed with getting to the bottom of it, and now there is a way to go back, no matter what decision you make, you should think it through yourself."

So far, it's over.

The living room returned to silence. Grandpa looked at the young man who had been leaning quietly by the side, glanced back at the TV screen that was still on, picked up the remote control and pressed the off button.

Jiang Sheng said "um", and smiled calmly: "If I don't go back, can I see my sister again?"

Grandpa didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious.

Across that invisible parallel line, people from the two worlds will naturally never see each other again in this life.

Jiang Sheng asked again: "Then what will happen to 'her'?"

"Live a day is a day." Grandpa knew who Jiang Sheng was talking about. "Maybe one day the organs will fail or die from complications caused by infection. This is the future."

"What about you?"

Grandpa didn't react for a while: "What?"

Jiang Sheng said: "If I don't leave, will you always be here?"

"If I leave, where will you go?"

Grandpa was stunned for a moment before replying: "Silly girl, what do you care about me."

"You have grown up, and you can live a good life with or without me in the future."

Jiang Sheng said lightly: "No."

"I don't know what your identity is, and I don't know what you call 'travel' and 'merit'."

"But Yu Qing, you raised me up and taught me etiquette. I hope I can honor you well in the future."

"Yu Li." Jiang Sheng thought for a while, "You gave me a second life, no matter what the original reason was, I hope to have a chance to repay you."

She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yan,
He leaned against the wall, resting his elbows lightly on the cabinet, lowered his head slightly, showing no expression.

Feeling Jiang Sheng's gaze, he raised his lips and smiled at her.

Jiang Sheng turned her head back and slightly bent her lips: "So your answer is very important to me."

Her tone was sincere and gentle, with a touch of coquettishness. The old man in front of her smiled and sighed again.

Before Jiang Sheng was six years old, he always felt guilty. Fortunately, the shadow of her childhood did not have a great impact on her character, and the little girl still grew up well.

He patted the back of Jiang Sheng's hand lightly, and comforted him kindly: "No matter where you choose to stay, Grandpa will be with you."

"Grandpa still wants to watch Xiaosheng get married and start a career."
