stay together, down

If you want to cut a piece of the best memory, put it in the moonlight to dry and paint it.Lin An thought that her four years could be cut out at will and bound into a book, every frame is the time is quiet and peaceful, and the world is stable.

She has two children—twin siblings separated by just seven minutes.

The inheritance of blood is really miraculous, the contours and facial features of the two children, and the shadow of the other person are so traceable.

Lin An never deliberately concealed his father's existence from them.Under the sun and in the light rain, she carefully drew many portraits of him amidst the child's urging.The appearance of their father has a clear outline in their hearts, but it is mixed with many imaginary illusions.

So, even though it was the first time seeing this man, Little Penny and her elder brother Neil recognized him immediately.The two little people looked at each other, and they unanimously stepped forward with their short legs, turned around and chased forward.

The man looked at the two little children who suddenly stopped in front of him, frowned, turned sideways, walked around, and continued to walk forward with his long legs.

Dongdongdong...the sound of staggering and hurried footsteps, and then, two little bean dings stood in front of them again.The small body almost reached the bend of his legs, and he tilted his head back vigorously, staring at him with difficulty and seriousness.

Klaus was forced to stop with frowning eyebrows, his gaze swept over the two similar little faces, and he paused.

Among the elder brother and younger sister, the elder brother's facial features are more similar to Lin An's, especially his eyes, under the slender eyelashes like butterfly wings, the black and bright pupils are soft with doubt and uncertainty.

"Uncle, what's your name?" Penny asked in a sweet voice with her face upturned.Penny's facial features are more mixed with Klaus's western features. The perfect blue-brown big eyes are deep and lovely, and when they are slightly narrowed, they have a shimmering cunning.

Brother Neil knew that his sister was going to be naughty again as soon as he heard Penny pinch her throat deliberately.However, now he is also eager to know whether the man in front of him, who is almost exactly the same as his mother's portrait, is really the man he and his sister imagined.

Klaus didn't answer, and looked around very quickly, his chest beating violently like a drum, as if the figure he had been looking for for four years would appear in his sight with just one turn.

but.

Klaus felt the hem of his clothes being pulled, and turned his head to see the two small inch nails again.

Seeing that the man's gaze had been drawn back, Penny let go of the corner of her clothes and asked, "We got separated from Papa Cole, do you know me, Papa Cole?"

Cole... Dad...

Cole came over from a distance and received the most enthusiastic response from Penny in four years.The little girl's nimble little body ran towards him like the wind was blowing, and she even jumped up when she was close to her. Cole hurried over to catch her unusual enthusiasm.

The fleshy little arms were tightly wrapped around Cole's neck like vines, and he kissed his face, still shouting: "Papa Cole!" It was crisp and sweet.

Papa Cole? ... Cole narrowed his eyes, staring suspiciously at the little meat in his arms, and Penny gave him a brighter smile in return.

Neil also walked over without saying a word, obediently trying to take the shopping bag from Cole's hand.

Cole withdrew his hand: "It's okay, Neil. Cole... Dad can handle it."

Penny was still wrapped around Cole's neck, and asked anxiously: "Did Cole's father buy the brownies, tiramisu and cheese that my brother and I like?"

"Bought them all."

"Where is the cocoa mousse that An An's mother likes?"

"of course."

Haw!Another passionate saliva. "Papa Cole is the best!"

Cole looked at the little diced meat in his arms with a half-smile, Penny quickly buried herself in his neck, and said softly, "Papa Cole, don't look at Penny like that, Penny will be shy."

Cole slapped her on the bottom.

The figure standing on their side who has been silently watching has never spoken, nor has he stepped forward.Cole grabbed Neil's hand and made a gesture to leave, as if he didn't see his existence from the beginning to the end.

But he couldn't take a step, the little hand in the palm of his hand pulled his steps hard, and the little Penny in his arms was also nervously wrapping around his neck.

Cole laughed, and Klaus turned around and was already in front of him.

"Cole..." Klaus called his name.She did bring him back to life.

Has Lin An thought about reuniting with Klaus?Needless to say, thought too much.He is a wound lurking in her heart, it hurts when she thinks about it, and the rest of the time she automatically pretends to be a healed scar.No matter what form it is, it never disappears.

On a March day, the sun is warm and the breeze is blowing.A person planted in my heart in the past suddenly ran into my eyes like this.At that glance, it seems to be too long, but also so short that it seems that the long four years are only a few fingers away.

In everyone's life, there is always a person who is different.And people who are different are still different no matter how many years are apart, even if you have been used to many kinds of differences in your long life.

For Klaus, Lin An is his unique person.

The two little buns had already run towards Lin An together, shouting in unison: "An An!"

Klaus saw her smile for a moment, and his heartstrings that had been tensed for four years could be relaxed and rested.He watched her lean down when the two little meatballs ran towards her, and received a wet kiss on both cheeks.

After the two children kissed, they stood beside Lin An, looking at their mother with big round eyes, and then at the person exactly like the one in the mother's portrait.

Lin An stood up, holding a baby in each hand, and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

Neil nodded reservedly.

Penny frowned and nodded heavily, "Hungry!"

Glancing at the man across from him, "Let's go together." She said in the shattered sunshine.

This was probably the most mixed meal Klaus had ever had.The dining table is outside in the courtyard, under a tall oak tree that the two children love most.

The spring breeze, the fresh green, the fine spots of light shining through the oak leaves, the white house standing behind her.All this is so close to him, but it seems to have nothing to do with him.

Although it was a long time reunion, there was absolutely no embarrassment in the cold.All through lunch, little Penny sipped Papa Cole. "Papa Cole eats meat!", "Papa Cole eats shrimp!", "Papa Cole eats soup!"...There must be another sentence after that, "Mother An An eats too."

Lin An glanced over at the first sound, and Little Penny was biting the spoon, blinking her big wet eyes, looking at her mother with aggrieved and guilty conscience.Lin An picked up the piece of meat scooped up by her precious daughter and put it in her mouth without saying a word.

And then, Penny just let go...

So, Klaus had only two words in his eardrums throughout the lunch time:

Papa Cole...

Ann's mother...

After lunch, Lin An took the two children to take a nap.Still under the big oak tree in the courtyard.It's pretty much the mother and son trio's favorite base, weather permitting.

Cole moved the folding bed lightly and placed it under the tree.Penny followed behind him like Neil's little tail, one hugging a pillow and the other hugging a blanket.

While laying down next to their mother one by one, Lin An closed the bedtime story book.

The sensitive and quiet brother Neil stepped forward, and asked anxiously, "Is mom angry?"

Lin An didn't answer right away.

Little Penny has already softly called "Mom" and rolled into Lin An's arms.

No one knows her child better than a mother.Lin An knew that the two babies called her "An An" when they were excited and mischievous, "Mother An An" when they were acting like a baby, and "Mom" when they were wronged and sad.

Lin An's heart melted, and he kissed his little daughter's forehead lightly, but he didn't skip the topic. "Mom is not angry." She took her brother Neil back into her arms and said, "Mom wants to know, why did she suddenly call 'Papa Cole'? You know who the uncle who is visiting today is, right?"

The two little guys nestled in their mother's arms and didn't answer.Lin An didn't rush either.

Hold your breath with the two kids, and Klaus standing on the front porch with Cole.

"They are my children," he said."Surprise" is far from enough to express everything today - the person who has been searching for four years suddenly appeared in front of him.There are also a pair of children.

This also means that he has been absent from his children for nearly four years.But the other person stayed with him for four full years.In terms of the length of time, it has already surpassed the three years he and Lin An were together, not to mention that these four years also included Lin An's transformation from a girl to a mother.

Therefore, when Klaus said these words, he already showed his lack of confidence and deep remorse.

Sure enough, Cole just laughed.The afternoon sun cast a layer of gold on his body, warmly satisfying, yet revealing a touch of sadness.

Finally, the child's answer came.Penny whispered, "I like Uncel Cole."

Lin An stroked her soft hair, and her voice was as soft as the breeze in March: "I also like Uncle Cole, but today Penny's name is not Uncle Cole, but 'Papa Cole'."

Neil held Lin An's finger, and suddenly asked, "Today's uncle...is the person in my mother's drawing?"

When a child over three years old saw his father for the first time, he asked, is he my father?Rather, is he the person in my mother's drawing...

Klaus, who was standing far away, heard it.

Lin An also heard it, and felt a severe pain in his heart. "Yes, it's the person in the mother's portrait. It's Neil and Penny's... father." Don't blame the child, even she is not used to uttering this strange word, "Then, Neil and Penny don't like... ...Dad?"

Neil lowered his eyes: "He came too slowly..."

Lin An reached out and lifted the sea-blue blanket to cover the shoulders of the two babies. After thinking for a while, he said softly, "I believe Dad must be looking for us everywhere. It was Mom who did something wrong before and left Dad. Besides looking for us, Dad has many other things to do. But Dad must love you as much as Mom."

"No!" Penny suddenly said aggrieved loudly, "He came so late because of that sister! He already has sister Hope, so he won't love Penny and brother!"

Lin An was shocked, she had never mentioned the existence of Hope to the child. "you……"

It wasn't until Penny finished speaking that she thought of causing trouble, and suddenly buried her little head in the blanket, only the back of her hairy head was exposed.

Neil was used to cleaning up his sister's mess. He looked up at Lin An and said, "My sister and I heard you talking to Uncel Cole. I'm sorry, Mom, we didn't eavesdrop on purpose."

Lin An felt extremely sour in his heart.It turned out that her babies always knew that their father lived with another child, and thought that their father loved their sister more, so they didn't have a father like other children.In their hearts, they always think that they are not liked and abandoned by their father?

But they never asked themselves...

Lin An felt a burst of warmth on her face, and Penny stretched out her fingers to wipe away the tears on her mother's face, and gently coaxed her: "Mom, don't cry."

Only then did Lin An realize that he was crying. He squeezed Penny's little hand and wiped it twice, then lightly scratched her little cheek to make the baby smile. Then he sat up and rubbed the two babies together. Also hold them up and sit in a row.Seriously said: "It's my mother's fault. I thought you were too young to understand some things now. Can you forgive my mother?"

The two babies sat obediently, nodding in unison.

Lin An laughed: "When Mom separated from Dad... she didn't know that you were already in Mom's womb. So, it's not that Dad doesn't love you, but Dad doesn't know you exist. Today is the first time Dad Seeing you, he must be very sad that his baby is three and a half years old but he is not by your side. Are you willing to give dad a chance?"

This time, the two babies did not nod so quickly.

Lin An leaned over and stroked the babies' hair, and said, "Don't worry about answering, Dad will be there in the future. Babies can think about it slowly."

Under the silent towering tree, the three most important treasures in his life hugged each other and fell asleep.It was the most beautiful picture Klaus had ever seen.

After a long time, Penny's misty voice came: "Mom, will Dad really be with us from now on?"

"Well," she replied softly, "as long as Penny wants, Dad will always be by Penny and Neil's side."

She said he would be with the two children.But did not mention her.

Finally face it alone.

He had waited four years for this moment.She was doing better than he imagined.

It was Lin An who apologized first.

"I'm sorry," she said, "I didn't know that I..." In any case, she was the one who deprived him and the child of four years.

Klaus took a step forward. He really wanted to hug her, but he stopped in the end. "We have more time," he said.

Lin An smiled: "Yes, they are very good. You can come to see the children anytime in the future, and they will definitely accept you slowly."

She automatically excluded herself, again.Of course he didn't let it go.Taking another step closer, he asked, "What about you, Lin An? When will you accept me?"

He had to admit, he was scared.A gap of four years stood between his and her life.If it was before, he wouldn't think that four years are so long, but now, he just feels that it is shockingly far away.

Lin An turned his eyes sideways: "You have to understand Klaus, I used magic to curse your child's mother, and even her entire ethnic group. There will always be these conflicts between us. After I became a real mother, I understand better , any harm to a child is no less than a heart-wrenching pain to a mother. It is also the same to a father. Those things I did before..."

"You didn't do anything to Hope," Klaus interrupted her.

Lin An shook her head: "I think about it." And it cannot be denied that she hoped to use the fake Hope to lure Dalia in the end, but the chance of success was so small that it was almost nonexistent.If there is no unexpected appearance of Kay, at the end, for Cole's resurrection, she may still choose to give Hope to Dalia.

Klaus did not continue this topic, and said with a little grievance and complaint: "I have been looking for you for four years..."

Lin An was a little overwhelmed. She had never seen Klaus who showed weakness like this, and even slightly sneered for comfort.He stabilized his mind and said indifferently, "I'm sorry."

In fact, he never tried to hide his whereabouts, neither Lin An nor Cole.

In the first year, Lin An stayed in the Void Prison with Kai all the time because he wanted to wake up Hong, who had been sleeping all the time.This year has not been easy.Kay has never been a good person in a certain sense. After Lin An became pregnant, her magic power was greatly depleted, and she was unable to cast a spell to bring Cole back to life.As for Kay, the red is not awake, and he will not help Cole.

Later, for Hong's awakening, coupled with the energy consumed by pregnancy, almost left Lin An's body with irreparable damage.So in the next few years, Cole will accompany her and the children back to the void to recuperate for a few months every year.

Maybe that's why Klaus keeps missing with them.

Lin An looked at him again, thinking that he should know.She said slowly, "Klaus, I like my life very much. I don't want to change anything."

This is already rejected.Lin An thought about it carefully, she never explicitly rejected Klaus, it was because of her personality, and because she always had too much intolerance towards him.

Of course, he was always Klaus Michelson, that invincible and powerful being who never accepted rejection.What will he answer?Lin An was ready, Klaus-style gentle and domineering: "You are mine." "You know I will never let you go."...

But there was only a soft voice, "Okay." Finally, he took a step forward and hugged the stunned Lin An in his arms, and he said, "You don't need to make any changes, you are already good enough, you have always been so good... ...it's me who should change."

No matter how powerful you are, there are so many things in this world that we cannot control.The change of seasons is beyond control, the blooming and fading of flowers is beyond control, the cycle of day and night is beyond control, and the birth and death of the universe is beyond control.Human emotions are beyond our control. ——Even if it’s your own.

Klaus can't handle his emotions, so he lets them flow.

He struggled and tossed in the abyss and quagmire alone for four years. He thought again and again, as long as he found her, he just took a look at her to make sure she was fine.enough.

Now, he sees it.But people's hearts are always greedy. When they see it, they want to have it again.It's just that this time, he will take his time, he is willing to accommodate her speed, follow her rhythm, and walk over step by step.

So, you don't need to change anything, just stand there, this time, let me work hard.

The author has something to say:

Dear friends, can you accept this sweet meal?

After all, there are too many things between them, and my stepmother really can't set up a step for Klaus to let him go down.It’s not reasonable to suddenly dislike the past... (This is by no means an excuse for me not being able to write a sweet article~~)

I really want to end here, but I feel uneasy if I don’t explain the story of Cole, Elijah (and Hong), so I will try to post it next week.

Give me motivation, dear ones! !

☆、Cole's Extra Story—Seven Years

what is memory

According to the scriptures, memory is the recognition, maintenance, reproduction or recognition of the things experienced by the human brain, and it is the basis for advanced mental activities such as thinking and imagination.

If memory is also quantifiable and closely related to age, then you can say that I have a memory of more than 1000 years.

But if you ask me, I only have seven years of memory.Start by getting to know someone.

If a person can easily erase his 1000-year experience and memory, it can be seen how empty and sad his thousand-year life is.

I am.That's true of everyone in our family, to be precise.

There is a famous line from Shakespeare's Macbeth that is so apt to describe us: "Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of voice and fury, but meaningless."

At first I didn't think she was special.is very beautiful.But if you have lived for thousands of years like me, you will know that beauty is the easiest thing to get, there are as many as stars, and they are also as beautiful as stars but empty, just some empty objects for people to watch.

A neat little gadget.That's all.

She has often said that some feelings are planted in the heart early on.

I naturally sneered at such exquisite but empty words, but how can I deny that her name has never disappeared in my life from the beginning of its appearance, even unwilling to be dimmed a little.

I don't know if my feelings for her grew out of death.It is undeniable that when her delicate human body blocked the fatal blow for me with an unshakable posture, a strange shock grew suddenly in her heart.

I sometimes think that the death-stained stake had actually stabbed me that winter night, leaving a deeper, more incurable wound than the white oak stump.

If it was possible, would I rather choose to die than the scars that follow me everywhere?

No!of course not.In that way, I don't even have the memory of these seven years.The whole life, only "meaningless".

My feelings for my siblings are extremely complicated.In my unbridled eternal life, I have done too many frivolous and wasteful things in an attempt to attract the attention of my family.Maybe I have some moments -- well, maybe many -- envious of the relationship between Klaus and Elijah and Rebecca.

But never like this - I'm jealous of Klaus.And growing jealous.

I once asked her, "Which thing about Klaus is worth keeping?"

I still remember her smile at that time, it seems that I asked a superfluous and ridiculous question.She asked back, "What about him makes you think it's not worth my staying?"

Without hesitation, I said, "All."

"That's my answer," she said.

She said everything about Klaus was worth keeping.

I just drank the milk in my hand and laughed in my heart: Do you know everything about Klaus?

But I can't lie to myself, at that moment I envied Klaus. ——

With the envy of the dark waiting.How well I know Klaus, my brother.He has always had a good quality of screwing up everything, and anyone who has anything to do with him, or our family, will not end well.

I don't need to do anything, just watch and wait quietly, like watching a beautiful little fish swimming in the mouth of a giant shark.

I must say, my brother never disappoints.

However, when I held up her dilapidated body, my indifferent and mocking words could not conceal the anger gathered in my heart.There is also the helplessness that is concealed as indifference.At this moment, I didn't know that this kind of "helplessness" would be a poison that penetrated into the flesh and bones, and grew into a persistent and uncontrollable emotion throughout the year.

I said to her, "I knew you were going to die."

What was not said was: "But I will never let it happen." I will always try to keep you from dying...

To be far from death is to be far from Klaus.

This is the first time she and I have left, a short four months.The short time belongs to me alone.Then--

Then, there is a complete separation.

Some things are extremely evasive, like my seemingly doomed death.

Sure enough, my heart that stopped beating was inevitably burned under the white oak tree stump.Although the time and place have changed.

This is the first time I have faced real death.Caught off guard.In the autumn at two o'clock in the afternoon, there is a full and rich fruity fragrance in the air, as well as the fragrance of her hair that can be smelled when she leans on me.There is no feeling of fear in my heart.

As all my brothers and sisters know, I am most afraid of death.I think so too, and it hasn't changed.I am afraid of death.It's just that the uncontrollable emotion that persists in the body exists for a day, and when death really comes, the fear of it will be replaced by this uncontrollable emotion.

I don't know if there is such a person in everyone's life-influencing your emotions, tempting your desires, manipulating your judgment, determining your direction, pushing and confirming your ending.

Members of the Michelson family seem to have such a magical person, or even more than one.Klaus and Elijah's Tatia, and later Catherine.Even Finn has a sage who has been with him for 900 years.As for our little sister Rebecca, as long as it is a little bit of love, even if it is a fake love, any man may become her charm. Stefan, Matt, Marcel...

But for 1000 years, I have not, and have always believed that there will never be.I love my unruly life with no taboos, no order, and whatever I want.

She appears in our lives with a completely different texture.

When she appeared, I did not expect the power of the "spell" to be so powerful.I thought I was staying out and watching a game, but when the boundaries of the game became more and more blurred, and gradually spread to me.I have no ability to escape. ——I suspect that I don't even have the consciousness to escape.

In my memory of these seven years, I have died twice.Lin An blamed both deaths on himself, and devoted everything to my resurrection.

For me, after being resurrected again, it is not important to regain the powerful and immortal body and strength of the ancestor. What is important is that this time, I have been with her for four years.

Regarding the process of resuscitating me, Lin An never mentioned a word, and I learned everything from Kai.Then, I will not mention a word.

When Kay cast a spell to bring me back to life, it was three months after they left New Orleans.At that time, Lin An was more than four months pregnant, but she was so thin that she almost lost her shape.

The first thing I saw was her familiar smile hanging on the corners of her sunken eye sockets.It's the ugliest smile I've ever seen, but the most heart-piercing smile.With just one glance, I know that those uncontrollable emotions that grow in the body without any sound are enough.

Kai took Lin An out of New Orleans to save Hong, including deliberately transforming Lin An into a vampire wizard, but he was not sure whether Hong would transform together with Lin An's transformation and recover from recovery.So bring Lin An to the Void Prison.

Lin An spent three months of time and energy to revive her other half of life, Hong.This is Kai's exchange condition, he helped Lin An cast a resurrection spell to save me, and she saved Xinghong.

She was almost more anxious than Kai, exhausted all methods, and finally found that her blood could do it.So, Shengsheng nourished her with her blood for three months before Hong woke up.

From once a day at the beginning to once every three days.Hong drank Lin An's blood for three months.

Maybe it's because she's not really a vampire, maybe it's because she's pregnant, maybe it's because her blood isn't easy to get back.For three months, neither the vampire diet nor the human diet was of any use, and Lin An quickly weakened and lost weight.And in the next four years, I endured the burning desire of bloodthirsty every day.

But she said it was her best time.

I know that the best period of time is not because of me, but in her best period of time, I have participated.

Lin An always thought that Klaus failed to find us for four years because he missed us by accident.She is always too easy to trust a person.

It took Klaus four years to find Lin An. If it wasn't for Penny and Neil's chance encounter, it might have taken even longer. ——

——Because I let Kai cast a hiding spell!

Many times I would forget the existence of Klaus, although after Penny and Neil were born, as they grew up, the facial features became more and more like him.But more of them are my presence.I witnessed their birth, fixed their first smiles, heard their first words, and accompanied them to take the first step in life and spend their first birthday.

I teach them to learn and recognize the nature in their blood, to use and control their abilities.I believe, in a sense, that I was their first father.

I love these two kids and I can't help loving them.They have her blood flowing on them, which is the continuation and inheritance of her life.

But I have been sober all the time, I know that all this is like a fragile dream, and someone who can break the dream may appear at any time. ——No, he had already appeared, before Penny and Neil met him.

Across the street, I watched him go from anxious and flustered to his frozen figure slowly cooling down.Maybe in that moment, my jealousy for Klaus peaked.Unbeknownst to him, there is already a ready consummation that belongs to him alone.It's something every Michelson wants.

Then, I turned and left.That fall, we returned to the Void two months earlier than usual.

I stole another year of her life.

just now.

Now, finally come to the end of my seven years.

He finally came, and I always knew this day would come.I'm ready, but I'll never be ready.

I stood beside her, watching her smile, perhaps because the afternoon sun was too intense, I actually felt dizzy like never before.I felt that even my own body had become uncontrollable. I walked over and hugged her, feeling the softness of her hair touching my cheek.The breeze blew, and I woke up, and I was still standing there, from beginning to end, without moving.

You see my smile, my seven-year confession under the cover of my unruly behavior.But do you understand my seven years?

I have no regrets.You don't need to feel sorry for me.Because, every day of my life, my destined immortality and eternity will be the best seven years.

The author has something to say:

Klaus is sweet, and Cole must be such a tragedy.

I love Cole, so it's pretty smooth writing.And Elijah... the Red girl belongs to the devil Kai in my heart, so let me think about how to write it.

☆、Elijah's episode——Watch

Many people say that suits and leather shoes are my label.

Many people know that family is the most important thing to me.

Yes.I won't deny it.

A powerful body that is imperishable and immortal, and the thousands of years that have passed by in the frenzy of the universe, you must grasp something so that you will not get lost.Like the anchor of the soul.Klaus chose aloof power, Cole chose wanton exile, and Rebecca chose illusory love.I chose my family.I redeem them and I redeem myself.

I think the experience of our family can be written into a legend. This legendary book can only illustrate one point, that is, the minimalist fun that exists in our family: amid blood and killing and death, we can appreciate the preciousness of our family everywhere. .The preciousness of this moment, yet everywhere, binds us together.For the rest of my life.Immortality.

like now.

I saw Hong again at the twins' fourth birthday party.It can be seen that she has forgotten me, at least she never deliberately remembered.Although she showed a surprised expression the moment she saw me, and immediately jumped over to greet me warmly.I get it, because she's just a kid.

The man who had been with her all this time, seeing her fleeing suddenly affectionately, didn't respond at all, and glanced briefly with a half-smile.But I clearly understood the deep meaning in his eyes, like treating a cub that would never fly out of his palm, he gave short-distance freedom because the controllable chains were always tied in his hands.

In my eyes, this teenager is just a young child like Hong.Yes, his evil eyes always hide all kinds of unexpected deep and evil, but I have been with Klaus for more than 1000 years. When it comes to conspiracy and tricks, no one can surpass Klaus.

But these comparisons are useless. In that illusory but extremely real bloody dream, I saw him for the first time, and I already realized the unique meaning of this young man to her—he was her spiritual soul. support.I've also seen what it would do to her if he collapsed—she would collapse too.

This support that cannot be recognized by the naked eye seems incomprehensible, but as the head of the Michelson family, I am very familiar with it, because this invisible spiritual support exists in every Michaelson. For more than 1000 years, we all Be each other's support, and in the boundless wilderness of time to come, always.

This birthday party was more like a family reunion and everyone was there.Rebecca, Marcel.Red, Kai.Even Freya and Michael.

Cole even prepared an electronic screen, showing the growth photos of the two young birthday stars.

It was probably the first time that Penny saw so many people at home, and she was not timid at all, on the contrary, she was very excited.Every time a photo is turned over on the screen, the little guy will ask beautifully: Isn't Penny cute?

I was the first to ask. "Uncel Elijah, is Penny cute?"

I looked at the two similar little faces on the screen, glanced at Klaus, and replied with a smile, "Very cute."

For a moment, I thought, I can be a "catcher in the rye" like Salinger.The lovely children were running freely in the wheat field, and I was there to stop them when they ran freely to the edge of the cliff.To be precise, I have been playing this role, watching, guarding, preventing my family from falling off the cliff.

The childish Q&A continued: "Aunt Red, is Penny cute?"

Hong didn't buy it, she raised her eyelids, and said deliberately, "Neil is cuter."

Penny pursed her lips, then put her hands on her little face, and smiled sweetly, "Penny and my brother look the same!"

Rebecca couldn't help but patted the top of her head with her hand: "Yes, so Penny is cute too."

The gremlins have premeditated questions to continue.

marcel...

Kay...

Freya...

"Grandpa Michael, is Penny cute?"

I probably never associated such a title with myself. I saw my father, who has always been calm and calm, with an expression on his face.
