I run a food city in the last days

"Dad, you have to comfort mommy," the little girl's voice was soft, but she tried her best to act mature like an adult, "Mom can't bear to leave you."

Little did he know that such a sentence almost made his father break his guard.

That night, the little girl came over holding a little pillow: "Mom, can I sleep with you?"

Naturally, both of them agreed. She lifted the quilt, and Gu Huaiting hugged her daughter directly into the quilt.

With Fan Tuanzi present, no one mentioned the upcoming permanent separation. At the request of "I want to hear a story," the two collaborated to tell fairy tales.

The gentle voice flowed in the room like gurgling water, and soon put the little girl to sleep. The two stopped at the same time, looking at each other over their daughter's head.

She didn't know how she fell asleep that night. When she woke up the next day, her head felt very heavy. She was half asleep all night long, which not only did not let her sleepiness dissipate, but made her even more sleepy.

But when he heard Gu Huaiting say that he should leave tonight, all the discomfort and fatigue disappeared.

She just wanted to hold him and scream at the top of her voice to tell him not to leave, but in the end she just nodded: "Well, you must pay attention to safety."

Fandanzi jumped up to hug him, and repeated the instructions he had given yesterday: "Dad, please finish the task quickly and go home early."

This may be the last time that the family sat down to eat together. She tried her best to cook all the dishes that Gu Huaiting liked most. Her daughter was puzzled: "Mom, didn't you say you can't waste it?"

When she came to her senses, she realized that the table had already been set with dishes.

The man who was silently helping next to him smiled, pinched his daughter's nose with his wet hands, and said, "Don't worry, dad can finish it all."

Fanduanzi opened his eyes wide in surprise, looking like he didn't believe it.

But Gu Huaiting really showed a different appetite than ordinary people. After his mother and daughter were full, he ate all the food by himself.

The little girl didn't believe it at first, but later she excitedly clapped her hands to cheer her father on, her expression full of admiration.

The child's world is always so simple, and a large appetite can make her feel that her father is a hero.

In the blink of an eye, it was night again. Jiang Yiyin even felt that today's time had been artificially stolen. Otherwise, why would the departure be approaching so quickly? She was like a person who had found herself in a dead end. She had nowhere to hide and couldn't escape. She could only wait desperately for that time to arrive.

Gu Huaiting knew that her mood was not right, so he hugged his daughter to put her to sleep.

Covering the little girl tightly with a quilt, he leaned on the bedside and whispered to his daughter:

"Dad is leaving in the evening. Starting tomorrow, you and your mother will live together. You have to be a good boy, protect your mother, and don't make her angry. Do you understand?"

Fanduanzi agreed with "Yeah, yeah, yeah" first, and then corrected him seriously: "Dad, I will live with mom for the time being."

His nose tightened, and he realized that he might not be able to withstand his daughter's innocent words, so he had to change his mind in a hurry: "Yes, daddy said it wrong. Go to bed quickly. It's very late."

"Kiss daddy."

He leaned in, and a loud chirp fell on his face. The little girl closed her eyes and said, "Dad, I want to listen to the story of Sun Wukong."

"Okay, once upon a time there was a stone..."

When Gu Huaiting left his daughter's room, he saw Qi Yuening appearing in the living room. As soon as he saw him, he complained: "Why are you setting off on your mission at this time? My sister said she was going to see you off, so she asked me to come over and accompany Fan Tuanzi."

He looked at his wife, she just looked back quietly, but the persistence in her eyes said everything.

She couldn't just watch him go out at home, she had to send him off and watch him disappear from this world with her own eyes.

He knew he couldn't stop it, and time didn't allow for any more entanglement, so he could only smile and pat his brother-in-law on the shoulder: "Thank you."

He was so polite, but it made Qi Yuening feel uncomfortable, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "You're welcome, you're welcome, sister, please drive carefully when you come back."

"understood."

He walked over and pulled up the box, intertwining his fingers with hers with his other hand.

Seeing him opening the passenger door for him, Jiang Yiyin didn't say anything, just got in, and then the car started to drive towards the suburbs.

After being silent for most of the way, Gu Huaiting finally spoke: "I have already made an agreement with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. From all the projects I participated in before, my share of the dividends that should belong to me will be transferred directly to you."

"okay."

"They will also take appropriate care of your life. If you need help in the future, just go to them directly."

"okay, I get it."

"I have a few good friends in the military. If you need anything, you can go to them. I've given them their contact information on your phone."

"Okay, I'll look back later."

Realizing that no matter what he said, she only replied with a few words, Gu Huaiting fell silent again.

He didn't even have to turn his head, he already felt overwhelming sadness, filling the cramped space in the car little by little.

She was like porcelain full of cracks, which could be shattered by deep sorrow at any time.

My heart, which had been torn apart ever since I knew I was leaving, was in unprecedented pain, and the thought of "not leaving" came to me. It had never been so strong before, and it even surpassed the pain caused by the screams from my own world.

He was about to tell his decision when Jiang Yiyin suddenly spoke first: "Don't say it."

Gu Huaiting was startled and turned to look at her.

But he saw that her eyes, which were very bright and washed by tears, were also looking over. There was deep reluctance and incomparable determination in them.

She repeated: "Don't say it."

He was shocked, knowing that his wife had figured out what he was thinking just now, and chose to stop him from saying it in time.

Because they both understand each other deeply and know that each other is very committed to each other, and they will definitely work hard to achieve what they say.

She kept looking at Gu Huaiting's expression, and spoke slowly again: "I'm very happy that you have wavered for me and for my daughter, but don't say it, don't do it."

She closed her eyes and needed a lot of strength to finish the next words: "You go back and help your world survive this catastrophe, and then we all live well in our respective hometowns. This ending is actually It’s pretty good, it’s much better than if you stayed for me and finally learned that your hometown no longer exists and you can’t even find your way home in your dreams.”

Gu Huaiting let out a low cry and listened to her whisper:

"My love, it's not that I'm cruel to you. It's actually that our nation is on the verge of life and death. We can only risk our lives to save you. I only hope that my love will see the light of day."
