"Why do you apologize?"
"Because... I forgot Mommy..."
"She doesn't exist, so you don't forget it, and you don't need to apologize for it." Zhenhong said flatly.
It's me who has to apologize. He wanted to say that, but couldn't.
"No... I think mother exists." Qianqiu looked at him, "Father, what you remember is not fantasy, but reality."
Hearing this, the famous painter frowned.
"I've said it before, this is a dream, don't take it as real." He said coldly.
Zhenhong doesn't want to see his daughter be confused by these "memories", he is enough for the "abnormal".
However, a small part of his heart was happy because his daughter said that, which made him feel self-loathing, so his tone was cold.
"Dad..." Qianqiu stared deeply at the other party, feeling that now he can somewhat understand why his father behaved like this.
He remembered his wife, but no one else knew about her, and there was no proof that she ever existed, which was tantamount to being denied by the whole world!
So he can only deny it himself.
How painful is it to deny your own memory
How much pressure is it to bear these all by yourself
He doesn't seek approval, because he can't even agree with himself, he just remembers, and he can only regard the wife in memory as a dream... What a sad thing this is.
After thinking about it for a while, Qianqiu felt that his eyes were hot, and he wanted to cry.
But you have to hold back.
Can't shed a tear over this because Dad wouldn't want to see it.
She felt that she had forgotten her mother, and she was not qualified to cry in front of her father who always remembered her mother alone.
"Whether it's true or not is still uncertain." Seiji said, "Mr. Wakaba, your memory of your wife may really be just a fantasy, but it may also be like Qianqiu said, something that actually happened."
"The evidence for the latter is that Qianqiu dreamed about her mother... Although she couldn't remember the content of the dream, I clearly heard her call 'Mom' when she was dreaming, and there was absolutely no mistake."
"It happened at this time when Qianqiu was being targeted, I don't think it was a coincidence..."
"Wait a minute." Mahiro suddenly stopped Seiji from continuing, his eyes flashed sharply, "You heard Qianqiu talking in sleep... you slept together?"
Seiji: "..."
Feeling the sharp momentum coming towards his face, his cheeks twitched.
"No... just to better protect Qianqiu, temporarily let her sleep in my study... The reason why I heard her sleep talk is that I just checked her situation at that time..."
Bearing the pressure from his girlfriend's father, Seiji explained as frankly as possible, but he was still a little guilty.
After all, he is a harem scumbag.
Zhenhong pushed up his glasses, and looked at the boy in front of him with more severe eyes than before.
Although he was somewhat prepared for the fact that his daughter had a relationship with her boyfriend, it was impossible to remain calm when he really knew about it.
Seeing the other party's guilty look, probably something happened.
"I will never allow that kind of relationship in high school, but if you have reached that point, you must take precautions." He said, looking at Qianqiu.
Qian Qiu who wanted to cry just now has the urge to laugh.
Her father's misunderstanding and serious attitude, Seiji's guilty conscience... This scene made her feel inexplicably happy.
To hide her smile, she lowered her head.
This move made Zhenhong even more misunderstood, and his gaze became more severe.
"Listen, you must take precautions! Otherwise... the problem will be serious!"
"We haven't had a relationship, we haven't done it yet... we haven't reached that point yet." Seiji said hastily.
That's the truth, and despite doing shameful things, it really didn't cross that line.
However, Zhenhong didn't believe it. Even if you haven't done it yet, it should be close.
Adolescent young people have very limited self-control. Even if they can control it for a while, they may not be able to control it at any time.
"Since you consider yourself to be Qianqiu's boyfriend and have the responsibility to protect her, then you should be aware of the possible consequences of not doing a good job of prevention, and pay the utmost attention to it!"
"Did I tell you..." Seiji was helpless, "But you are right, I will remember."
"You must remember." Zhenhong stared at him for a while, then turned to Qianqiu, "You too, you must protect yourself. If he doesn't pay attention to prevention, break up with him as soon as possible."
Qianqiu almost burst out laughing, but couldn't help it.
"I will, Dad." She responded, "Actually...even if you are really careless...it's okay, because Qingwu is very rich and can afford to support..."
This is not something that can be done with money! Zhenhong wanted to say this, but suddenly felt that he was not qualified to say it.
After all, he has been estranged from his daughter, and apart from giving her enough money, he hasn't done much that a father should do.
Thinking of this level, he lost the intention of preaching.
"In short, you must pay attention." With this sentence as the end.
Both Seiji and Chiaki nodded honestly.
The scene was quiet again.
Where did you just say that
"Cough... let's talk about what happened just now." Seiji coughed and said.
"Qianqiu's dream should not be accidental, but triggered by something."
"Assuming Mr. Ruoye, your memory is real, then Qianqiu's dream may be a sign that her memory is beginning to recover."
"This may seem like a good thing, but if the assumption is true, this is a very serious state of affairs."
"Your wife, Qianqiu's mother, a person who used to really exist, disappeared from the world and became as if she never existed... The cause of this situation may be a very powerful monster, or it may be a person with psychic abilities."
"I'm inclined to be a monster, because if a human being does such a thing to erase the existence of your wife, Mr. Wakaba, then you shouldn't leave the memory of your wife alone."
"Assuming it was caused by the monster, then how strong the monster is... I can't estimate it."
"Maybe it's this monster that's staring at Qianqiu."
"The worse development is that Qianqiu may disappear into the world like her mother." Seiji said solemnly.
Disappeared... Qianqiu couldn't help but imagine that he was captured by a monster...by some unknown god, and thus literally disappeared from the world, as if he had never existed before, and felt horrified.
Wait, being taken away by God, isn't this the so-called "hidden God"
Shenyin, that is, being hidden by gods and monsters, can be described as a famous abnormal phenomenon.
The best-known story of this phenomenon is the story of the fisherman who rescued a sea turtle and was taken to the Dragon Palace to be entertained by the princess. This legendary story is well known in Sakurajima.
In the eyes of ordinary people in modern times, Shenyin is a superstitious statement about disappearing or disappearing from the world. Qianqiu's common sense cognition is like this.
Looking at it now, Shenyin is just like its name, it is the hiding of God...
The disappearing mother actually encountered a ghost
