Chapter 1359: Chapter 501: The Eve of Mid-Autumn

The lightning completely illuminated the surroundings.

This was a small bedroom of only 7 or 8 square meters, with just a single bed, a simple desk, and a chair.

The furniture was somewhat old, and the walls showed mottled traces.

The window was worn due to years of neglect, and with the wind and rain, it made repeated crashing sounds.

”Boom—” The sound of thunder gradually arrived.

Qiuqiu shivered in the corner, her gaze blankly fixed on the suddenly appearing figure.

She couldn’t see the face, nor the shape, but she felt it was particularly familiar and kind.

His appearance was like a warm light, seeming to disperse the surrounding fear and darkness.

At this moment, the door was suddenly struck twice, making violent ”bang bang” sounds.

Qiuqiu gasped softly, burying her head back into her knees.

Soon after, a furious roar came from outside:

”You dead girl! You don’t learn well, always causing trouble! You’ve only been at the new school a few days and you’re already fighting? Tell me, are you doing this on purpose?”

”Do you think you’re still a little kid from the countryside? Acting recklessly, do you think this is the village?”

”Do you know how much it cost me to get you into this school? How many connections I had to use? And this is how you repay me?”

”Do you know how busy I am every day? Always stuck in that damn shop, so tired I can’t straighten my back, and then I have to listen to your nonsense when I get home. What kind of bad luck do I have?”

...

Sobs sounded in the small bedroom.

Qiuqiu clenched her teeth, trying hard not to let her sobbing be heard outside the door.

Gentle, slow footsteps could be heard.

”Qiuqiu.” The voice was like the first ray of sunlight in spring, penetrating the cold air.

Qiuqiu suddenly lifted her head, tearfully looking ahead.

He stood not far from the bed, the outline of his body faintly rendered in the dim light.

The warm aura gradually enveloped her body, bringing infinite security.

Just like the father she had fantasized about since childhood.

A sudden longing and hope grew within her heart.

She tilted her head, tentatively asking, ”Dad...Daddy?”

Tang Song paused, under the influence of the [Dream Flower Seed], he seemed able to empathize with her emotions at this moment.

Realizing that she was projecting her deep-seated desire for her father into the dream, indirectly casting him as this symbol.

He didn’t correct her, but gently nodded, ”Yes, it’s Daddy.”

Upon hearing this, Qiuqiu’s tears burst forth.

She suddenly got up and threw herself into Tang Song’s arms like a wounded kitten finding shelter, sobbing, ”Daddy, I’m so scared... Grandma doesn’t want me, and Mom doesn’t want me either...

The classmates at school don’t like me, say I speak with a rural accent, and my clothes aren’t trendy...

I can’t play the piano, sing pop songs, or dance, and I can’t fit in with them...”

She spoke intermittently as her tears gradually soaked Tang Song’s clothes.

Tang Song gently patted her back and softly comforted her, ”It’s alright. I’m here with you. No matter what happens, we can face it together.”

Qiuqiu choked back tears and asked, ”Really? You won’t abandon me?”

”Really, I won’t abandon you.”

At the same time, the warmth in her chest grew stronger, as if the newly sprouted seedling was growing a bit.

The surrounding air became softer and warmer, and the darkness seemed to be driven away.

At the same moment, a more intense sound of door banging and her mother’s shouting came from outside: ”Are you listening to me? Open the door for me!”

Qiuqiu’s body tensed up again, her face pale.

She cringed as she retreated to Tang Song’s side, timidly asking, ”Will Mom come in and hit me? I’m scared.”

Tang Song held her trembling shoulders, his voice gentle and magnetic: ”No, with me here, no one can hurt you, not even your mom.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shouting outside the door vanished, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing the rain.

Qiuqiu lifted her head and saw the vague figure close before her, and a deep reliance and trust started to appear in her eyes.

”Daddy, my window is broken, and it rattles when the wind blows. I’m so scared I can’t sleep at night, and Mom doesn’t want me to sleep with her.”

Tang Song looked at the worn window trembling in the wind and rain, his eyes sparkling.

Like magic, the window instantly became new, and the sound of the wind and rain outside was isolated.

Qiuqiu’s tears gradually dried up, her eyes full of curiosity and joy.

She quickly got off the bed and walked barefoot to the window, reaching out to touch the brand new window.

Turning back, she exclaimed, ”Daddy, you’re amazing, fixing it so fast!”

Then, she pointed to the burnt-out incandescent light on the ceiling, ”This light always flickers at night, and I’m scared to turn it on. I told Mom, but she’s always too busy to fix it, so I have to use the desk lamp.”

Tang Song wiped the tears from her face, looked up, ”It’ll be fixed shortly.”

Immediately, the light turned on, making the room bright and transparent.

Qiuqiu instantly smiled like a flower, ”And this desk, the drawer always wobbles, I’m afraid it’ll fall off someday.”

Tang Song went to the desk, his eyes first paused on the colorful drawings on it.

There was a kindly-faced grandmother drawn there, with a basket on her arm, containing some red chili peppers.

It’s evident that Qiuqiu has a talent for painting.

Though raw and simple, it’s full of spirit.

Tang Song pulled the drawer, then turned to smile, ”Try it again.”

Qiuqiu quickly sat at the desk, pulling the drawer in and out several times.
