Rely on face to eat [Quick Transmigration]

8-26

At dinner, Sheng Ziyao sat next to his father to eat as usual, but the atmosphere at the table today was very different, it was unusually quiet.

He is a very perceptive child, able to detect even the slightest changes.

Just like when Xu Mu died beside him at the beginning, he also felt how sad he was at that time, and the only person who accompanied him also left, even if this person didn't like him at all, and didn't treat him very well friendly.

No matter how mature his mind is, in fact, he is just a five-year-old child who instinctively resists and fears loneliness.

Therefore, when his father came to him, he carefully disguised himself as an ordinary child, so as not to scare him away.

Even though they looked exactly the same, he knew that his father and the original Xu Mu were two completely different people. He secretly thought in his heart that maybe he was the only existence in this world who could accept him.

Because they are all heretics.

Since he was a child, he knew that his surname was Sheng. His name was given by the old man who brought him to this world. In a cold closed room full of instruments, the old man seemed to want to get something from him. , but let him down.

The old man said: "Let that kid from the Xu family take him out of the capital. Don't let that monster know of his existence."

But the people in the room, all dressed in neat white coats, were amazed by his rare kindness. They thought that even if he was his own grandson, the old man would deal with this failure without mercy.

Because he has always been like this, even his own son is nothing more than what he calls a "monster".

Sheng Ziyao will probably never know that the moment he opened his eyes, he unconsciously grinned at the old man, thus saving his life.

He didn't know that he was different from other children, but the man he called "Dad" always looked at him with fearful eyes.

Later he learned that not every child can remember things from birth, remember everyone they meet, remember what they said, and not every child can easily learn language and complex and obscure characters, let alone every child All children are like him, with powers that ordinary people can't match.

He read from books that children symbolize kindness and innocence. They like to cry, like to eat candy, and are afraid of the dark... He thinks that he is good enough in disguise.

The self who was born differently, possessing strange powers, and the father who uses other people's body to extend his life are the same kind. This strange bond makes him feel happy.

With this kind of careful thinking, Sheng Ziyao carefully pretended to be a well-behaved and ignorant child in order to gain the other party's favor.

He has been doing a great job.

Until the appearance of the Sheng family, everything changed.

"Father." Sheng Ziyao called softly.

"Ok?"

"Did Yaoyao make a mistake, and father is angry with Yaoyao?"

Shen Mian raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Why would you think that way? There is no child who is more obedient than you. No matter how strict a father is, he can't find any faults from you."

As he spoke, he put some food in the kid's bowl, "Eat more vegetables."

Sheng Ziyao nodded obediently, but his heart was even more confused.

Shen Mian said to Di Que again: "Were you also so bored when you were young?"

Although Sheng Rong was only transformed by a ray of his divine consciousness, it still has some similarities with the main body.

Di Que paused, and said, "I don't remember."

Shen Mian was taken aback for a moment: "Don't you have any impression?"

Emperor Kuang nodded.

"I have no childhood memories." The man replied calmly.

For no reason, Shen Mian suddenly felt a pain in her heart, as if she felt very sad for the man's answer.

He covered his chest, and frowned slightly, scaring the other two people, one big and one small.

"Father, are you feeling unwell?" Sheng Ziyao dropped the bowl and chopsticks, and was about to touch his forehead, but another big palm took him a step ahead.

Di Que said, "What's wrong?"

Shen Mian shook her head lightly, and said nonsense, "I don't know, maybe it's the sequelae of breaking the realm."

In fact, it's an old problem, and I occasionally feel unwell for a short time during the task, but this time, it seems to be more serious than before.

The man's eyes were serious for a moment, this body was nursed by him himself, and it is absolutely impossible to get hurt unless it hurts the soul.

He didn't dare to investigate lightly, the soul is different from others, if it is damaged, it is extremely difficult to heal, and the force exerted by the outside world may aggravate the injury.

Shen Mian didn't know what he was thinking, but smiled and comforted him: "I'm fine, maybe it's a pity to hear that you don't remember when you were a child. I remember everything from the time I can remember. When I have a chance, I will say it slowly. Here you go."

The emperor looked down at him.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Shen Mian clicked her tongue lightly and said, "It's rare for me to coax people, so can't I cooperate?"

However, Di Kuan said in a rare serious way: "Perhaps there may be some omissions."

"what?"

"You said you remembered everything, maybe you forgot, but you didn't know."

The soul of an ordinary person is actually a collection of memories, and damage to the soul means that a piece of memory has been lost.

Shen Mian didn't understand this level, she pursed her lips and said, "I said I remember, that's just a general statement, how can someone really remember every detail of their experiences, living like that would be too tiring Now, since I will forget it, it must not be an important thing."

Di Kuan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, and said, "Indeed, since I have forgotten it, I probably don't need to remember it."

Sheng Ziyao was listening, but he wondered if a person like him who was born without forgetting was destined to live a more tiring life than others.

After dinner, Emperor Wei was invited by Sheng Hong to discuss matters.Right now, the situation in China is tense, and the forces of all parties are balanced. Only the Sheng family is dominant in the north, and its power radiates the entire Huaxia region. In order to compete with it, other forces have joined forces to form the Silver Dragon Base. The current person in power is Feng Qian.

Shen Mian sipped tea alone in the tea room, asked someone to set up a chess board, and played against herself.

Sheng Ziyao stood in front of the door with his head down, as if he had made a mistake.

Shen Mian had expected that he would be unable to hold back, and would come to ask herself what happened.

Sheng Ziyao knocked on the door twice and asked in a low voice, "Daddy, can I come in?"

Shen Mian let out a "hmm".

"come in."

This sound is not cold and distant, but it is not more intimate than before.

Sheng Ziyao sat down opposite him, not daring to look at Shen Mian, but only secretly glanced at the situation on the chessboard. He was not proficient in Go, but he could see that the situation was dangerous.

Shen Mian picked up a white ball with her fingertips, thinking about where to put it, and asked casually, "What do you need from me?"

Sheng Ziyao glanced at him and said, "Father is angry with Yaoyao."

Shen Mian raised her eyebrows and said, "Why should I be angry?"

Sheng Ziyao was silent, and whispered: "Because I was in school, I had a conflict with my classmates, and I kept it from my family."

Shen Mian couldn't help laughing, this kid is really smart, he guessed that Sheng Hong would tell him about his school, but no matter how smart he was, he probably would never have thought that Shen Mian would go back to the house where they first met in City Z Here, I saw the killed zombie outside the window.

Seeing him smile, Sheng Ziyao became more flustered, and said, "I originally planned to handle it by myself. I thought I was old enough to handle my own affairs and not bother Dad."

Shen Mian nodded slightly, and said in a very reasonable manner: "Indeed, you are no longer a child, you can handle these things yourself, you don't need to tell me."

"really?"

"Of course." Shen Mian slowly moved the chess, "You are different from ordinary children. You have always been sensible and have your own opinions. I was too strict in the past. You can make up your own mind in the future."

When he said that, Sheng Ziyao became even more uneasy.

"Father, will you ignore me from now on? Doesn't Daddy want Yaoyao?" The child turned pale with fright, and stretched out his hand to grab Shen Mian's sleeve.

Shen Mian said: "I just believe in you and have the ability to take care of myself."

The child naturally didn't believe it, and asked again: "Did Yaoyao make Dad angry?"

Shen Mian held his little hand, and said softly: "No, I won't be angry with a good boy, but you will always grow up. It is not a good thing to rely too much on others in the last days."

Sheng Ziyao clenched his fists, and suddenly said, "What about Uncle?"

Shen Mian was taken aback.

Sheng Ziyao said, "Isn't Dad relying too much on him?"

Shen Mian said: "That's because I trust him unreservedly, so I trust him, but you are different, Yaoyao, you don't trust anyone in your heart, so don't waste your extra trust on me, it's not good for you Good. You are always smart. You should have known that you are a child of the Sheng family. With this status, you are destined to go to great heights. I believe you have that ambition. A notorious adoptive father like me will only become yours Tired."

Sheng Ziyao hurriedly said: "You are not a burden, I only recognize you as a father, I only trust you in this world, what happens to the Sheng family has nothing to do with me, Dad, don't want me, don't abandon me..."

Shen Mian raised her lips, feeling a little relieved, and said with emotion: "You are still so young, but you have already learned how to lie. Knowing that a little truth mixed with a lie makes people more convincing."

"No, dad, I didn't lie..." Sheng Ziyao shook his head quickly.

Shen Mian caressed his soft little head, and seeing that his eye sockets were red, she sighed softly, "Speaking of which, I also have something to hide from you, and I am not qualified to make you completely confess to me, but what have you done for so long? Father and son, between you and me, there should not be only deceit throughout."

"I seldom tell you great truths. First, I don't like preaching. Second, I don't think you can understand as a child. It turns out that I underestimated you."

Sheng Ziyao already had a vague guess in his heart, but he still didn't understand how he showed his flaws.

Shen Mian said: "Today I am like a father, let me teach you a truth. Maybe in your eyes, this world is very dangerous and not worthy of your trust. It is good to be cautious, and there is nothing wrong with not trusting others easily, but," His fingertips lightly tapped the child's heart, "This place must be soft, even if it is a very small place, there is a little sincerity, so that others can treat each other with sincerity, don't use yours. Wisdom tramples on other people's wishes, otherwise even if you get everything, you are still alone."

Sheng Ziyao said seriously: "I lied, but I never thought of trampling on your heart!"

Shen Mian curled her lips, and said, "I still remember when I was in Z City, I protected you from Feng Qian's attacks several times. At that time, did you ever think that I would die because of it?"

Sheng Ziyao's face was completely drained of color.

"I just, at that time I..."

Shen Mian said: "You are just not sure that you can compete with Feng Qian, and you made the most rational choice. I don't blame you, I just think that at such an extremely critical time, you still chose to continue to pretend and refused to reveal With a little bit of strength, even I feel a little scary about you like this."

Sheng Ziyao said: "I really don't want to expose my abilities, but it's not that I don't want to save you. It's just that I couldn't defeat Feng Qian at that time. If I die in the end, I hope that in your eyes, I am still a normal child. "

He pursed his lips and whispered: "The better you treat me, the more afraid I will be. Originally, I wanted to hide it from you for the rest of my life."

After speaking, he sneaked another glance at Shen Mian, as if he was afraid that he would be even more angry because of his words.

Shen Mian saw that he was so cautious, as if she was terrified of being hated by her, which was even more unpleasant.

He was silent for a while, and finally threw the chess piece in his hand and landed on the chessboard.

A "click" sound broke the silence in the room.

Shen Mian said: "Become an independent adult as soon as possible. Until then, I will always be your father."

Sheng Ziyao didn't dare to think deeply about the subtext in these words. At this moment, he only felt extremely fortunate that at least for now, this person had not abandoned himself.
