During the Warm Winter Festival in Portia, Minter left, and the Geller family and I went to see him off.

When he was leaving, he also encouraged me to talk to Geist, don't be too nervous, just chat like a friend.

After he left, a man came from the Port of Portia. He was wearing an adventure hood, and he walked all the way in the wind and dust, and finally stopped at my door.

I looked at him, his hair and beard had turned so white that I could barely recognize him.

"Okay, are you going to say something? Or are you just standing there?" he said to me.

"A homeless man?"

"I can't believe it, I just went away for a while and my only child doesn't remember me!"

I chuckled, I mentioned him to Minter a few days ago, and now he appeared in front of me, but I didn't want to admit that I had seen him.

"How long has it been? God, 10 years?"

"11 years." I corrected him, and it was exactly 11 years ago that my mother died.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"What? Can't I come and see you?"

I shook my head, "You don't usually do that."

"Don't be so indifferent, I just finished my trip to the Eastern Continent, and I want to see how you are doing."

"I have a good life, thank you for leaving me this workshop." Although I have no relationship with him, I am still very grateful to him for letting me come to Portia. "And, I'm married."

"Ah, you got it all by yourself, so I left you a little house. I know you'll do well once you're on track."

Really believe me, "Then you want to live in my house?"

He saw right away that I wasn't very welcoming to him and told me not to worry, he'd be staying with Uncle Presley.

The warm winter festival officially started at noon, I went to the central square, and almost everyone had arrived.After looking for Geist, he and Ginger were standing far away from the crowd.

He has been talking to me before that although we are married, as Ginger's brother, he still has to go back to see her often.He cared about Ginger, and I knew that, since before we were married.But after a long time, I actually started to pay more and more attention to these things, obviously he is still the same as before.

I don't understand, have I changed?

Emily set up a small stall next to it, and put some ingredients needed for hot pot, and I bought some casually.

The taste of this year's hot pot is similar to last year's. Geist had disliked it before, saying that Django is the only hot pot that can be sold.

With such a large pot, it will become more and more spicy at the end of the meal. I have seen Arlo put peppers in it three times in a row.And Geist, who said he wanted to eat fish, secretly threw a handful of peppers into it.

If Minter hadn't been in a rush to leave today, I think he would have enjoyed the holiday.

After eating the hot pot, Geller organized everyone to have a snowball fight outside the city. At night, they probably got together to take pictures.

Playing until 12 o'clock, everyone slowly dispersed. I met Koukou alone at the door, and it was forgotten by Geist, the sister-in-law madman.

I hugged it and walked back slowly, the street lamp shone on us, casting our mosquitoes on the cool street.The snow started to fall again, fluttering and falling, Koukou couldn't help shivering.

This guy, I get up every morning to feed it, but it still doesn't kiss me.Every day I always go out and run around with Geist, but never follow me, it's so sad.

When I got home and just put down the pig, Geist stopped me, and I suddenly had a bad feeling again.

"I heard that your father is here?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Can't wait to meet him."

"Hmm..." Actually, I wanted to tell him that it might not be necessary, but I didn't want to spoil his interest.

"You don't seem very happy to see your father?"

Is my expression so obvious? "It's a bit complicated." But I still said that if he wanted to go, I would not stop him.

On Wednesday night, Geller announced to the regular meeting that, as I probably guessed, he was going to welcome Dad back.

For Portia, Dad is already an old member here.When he asked me to come here, he believed that the people here would welcome me, and he was very grateful to the people here for taking care of me.

But children prefer to listen to his adventure stories, and Toby is one of them.

"Haha, well, where do I start?" Dad began, mentioning his latest adventure, beyond the Desolation, and the Everfree Forest, a place he had never set foot before.On the eastern continent, it is basically covered by the endless forest.But they couldn't go in to investigate further, it was too dangerous, artificial intelligence machines and some strange creatures occupied the land.

Moreover, the artificial intelligent machines inside seem to be moving according to certain laws.

These fascinate Petra, and she hopes to learn more.

Dad told her there was no problem and that we could talk about it later, and he decided to stay here for a while.

Geller gave me some burritos and asked me, "Aren't you happy that Dad is back?"

Should I be happy?I don't quite understand, I just feel that this person is no different from other people who come and go to Portia.

Brought some burritos to Guest, as I thought, and he just glanced at them without even tasting them.I will not be angry because of this, and I will turn around and distribute all the other burritos in my hand to the militia group on the side.
