Minako's life is hard.

As time passed day by day, she was 23 years old, but no man was willing to marry her—after all, no one could accept that his wife had such an unbearable experience.Minako gradually became autistic, she seldom went out, and all her daily necessities were handed over to her mother to purchase.Her mother is a very virtuous woman. She never went out to work in her life. She was responsible for three meals a day, tidying the room, sweeping and mopping the floor at home. She spent her whole life in such a boring way. She is almost 50 years old this year. I haven't really gone out and wandered around yet.It was such a woman who suddenly had a car accident when she was out shopping one day.When Minako arrived at the hospital, her mother had already passed away.She lay on the hospital bed covered with white sheets and looked at her mother who had closed her eyes, crying loudly, as if her world had been destroyed.And her other half of the world, her father, stood beside her and comforted her in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Minako, I will always be with you and protect you forever."

That day, Minako raised her head when she heard this, and happened to meet her father's eyes.

That gaze once again reminded her of that rainy night back then.

After my mother passed away, the family became very quiet.Even a little silent.

……

……

One night, Minako was sleeping when she heard her bedroom door being opened.A series of light, intentionally hidden footsteps came slowly, walking to his bedside.She knew it was her father's footsteps.She didn't move, she was even so tense that she deliberately suppressed her breathing, she didn't know why she did it, in her subconscious, she should do it.Then, Minako felt a hand covering her face, gently caressing it.His father's words came to his ears.

"Minako, you are mine, you must be mine, no one can take you away, you can only stay by my side forever, for this reason, I can do any crazy thing."

Father's voice was like a spell, lingering in his ears-in fact, he kept repeating this sentence, as if possessed.

That night, after her father left, Minako stayed up all night.

……

……

One day, Minako will know the truth of the matter.

It was the same rainy weather, and the rain that day was almost exactly the same as the rain in my memory.Today, my father went out to work. At noon, there was a knock on the door of her house. It was a man in sportswear who was soaked in the rain.

"Xiaoming, is that you?" Minako said in surprise.

"Well, it's me, Minako, are you okay?" The person who came was none other than her former neighbor, Xiao Ming.As her best playmate in the past, after that incident happened to her, he had come to her house countless times to comfort her, saying that when everyone looked down on her, he looked up to her.In the future, if Minako has no one to marry back home, then Xiao Ming will marry her back home.Unfortunately, Xiao Ming moved away later.Until today, they were reunited again.

"Would you like me to come in and have a seat?" Xiao Ming said with a smile.

"Ah, ah, okay, you come in." Minako hesitated for a moment, and moved away.She hesitated because her father had warned her many times not to open the door to anyone when he was not at home, because there are many people in this society who want to harm Minako, especially those who are unwilling to give up. Reporters have always wanted to dig out some gossip news about this traumatized woman.However, Xiao Ming is her good friend, not an outsider.She finally invited Xiao Ming into the house.

Sitting on tatami.Minako brewed a pot of green tea and passed a cup to Xiao Ming.

"Where have you been all these years?" Minako asked.

"I went to school outside, just graduated last year, and then I got a job and went to work in a nearby police station. I am now a glorious people's policeman, Minako, are you happy for me?" Xiao Ming talked about his career, The expression is very happy.

Minako was also happy for him from the bottom of her heart, "Well, I'm happy for you. But why did you choose this career? In my impression, I remember that your childhood dream was to be a pilot. You I said, you want to fly around the world to see places of interest!"

Xiao Ming's expression suddenly became extremely gentle, "The reason why I chose this profession is because of you."

"I?"

"Yes, Minako, it is because of you, please forgive me for opening your wound again, Minako, the reason why I choose this profession is because of what happened to you back then, you know, the person who hurt you back then, has always been None of them were caught. So, I wanted to catch him with my own hands."

Minako's expression became bleak and complicated.

"So, have you caught him?"

"No, but after a year of investigation, I have some clues."

"What clue?" Minako lost interest.In her consciousness, that incident was already a thing of the past. Although whenever she thought of it, the scene of that year was still vivid in her mind, but she really tried very hard to forget that incident.Now, being mentioned again by Xiao Ming, she really didn't want to listen to it.

Xiao Ming's tone suddenly became hesitant.

"What I'm going to say next, Minako, don't be angry after you hear it. I swear, these are all the information I personally investigated. You may be shocked and sad after hearing it, but I really swear to you , this is really not far from the truth.”

"Well, tell me." Minako said, a little curious by Xiao Ming's mysterious tone.

"It's like this, do you remember? When you were young, you once told me that the bathroom window in your house was too low. Every time you took a shower in the bathroom, you felt as if there were a pair of eyes outside. Look at yourself, right?"

"um, yes."

"That's not your illusion, it's true. Outside that window, there are really a pair of eyes looking at you!" Xiao Ming became emotional, and he said, "You may not know that the current technology is very advanced. If it is developed, even if it is a surveillance video from decades ago, as long as it is still preserved, it only takes less than a minute to retrieve it. After I entered the unit, the first thing I did was to collect the All the videos were retrieved, and I wanted to find the murderer who killed you, but I didn't find the murderer because he was very cunning. When he killed you that day, he destroyed all the videos along the way early, and I didn't find him. , but I found another video, after I watched it, I was shocked!"

"What did you see?" Minako asked, frowning.

"I saw……"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh? What did you see?"

Xiao Ming and Minako were startled.This voice appeared too abruptly.Moreover, there was a very dangerous sound in this voice that made people tremble subconsciously after hearing it.

Minako raised her head and saw her wet father in a black raincoat appearing at the door.

Father's complexion was very bad, not ordinary bad.Minako swore that she had never seen such a bad expression on her father's face in her life.

Father took off the raincoat, threw it to the door, and walked in with cold eyes.He gave Minako a hard look, as if he was blaming Minako for letting an uninvited guest walk into the house at will.Then, he turned his gaze to Xiao Ming.He asked: "I also want to know, what did you see?"

Xiao Ming looked vigilant, but he was very courageous in which unit he had worked for for a year. He stood up, looked at Minako's father with righteous and serious eyes, then turned his head, and said to Minako who also stood up: " Let’s stop here today, let’s make an appointment to talk about it another day.”

Minako nodded.

……

……

After Xiao Ming left, his father suddenly grabbed Minako's arms like crazy, and yelled wildly: "Minako, Minako, have you forgotten what you promised me? You promised, as long as I'm not at home , you won’t open the door to anyone, but take a look, what have you done now?”

Minako was so frightened that she almost cried.

"I, I think Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming is not an outsider."

"Is he not an outsider? Why is he not an outsider! He is an outsider!"

Seeing Minako crying, his father suddenly softened his tone.

He stroked Minako's long hair and held her in his arms, his voice almost like a whisper.

"Minako, no matter what, you must promise me that you will never open the door to others again, okay? Also, you must also believe me. In this world, only I am the one who treats you sincerely. Only I can protect you forever and love you."

Minako wiped her tears and nodded numbly.

"Okay, Father, I believe in you."

……

……

That night, Minako's cell phone received a text message.

"Minako, I'm Xiao Ming. I found your phone number from my work unit. Let's continue what we haven't finished talking about today."

"Xiao Ming, I'm tired, what can I say, can I talk about it another day?" Minako was really tired, and she keenly felt that her bedroom door was opened a crack.She felt a pair of eyes looking at her through the crack of the door.She knew that those were her father's eyes.

After sending this text message, she raised the phone deliberately, and then pressed the power off button.

Seeing that Minako's phone was turned off, the door was slowly closed.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Minako, who hadn't slept until about 03:30 in the middle of the night, got up cautiously, came to the door with her bare feet, and put her ears on the door. Through the door, she heard her father's even snoring, She was relieved.

Minako hid under the blanket and turned on her phone.

"Xiao Ming, are you asleep?"

About less than a minute later, the phone received a text message.

"I'm still awake, Minako."

"Then, tell me everything you haven't said today."
