Darkness is Coming

   In a nuclear war shelter guarded by heavy troops, Luo Fei knew that she was now in the safest area in the southern capital, but she did not have a moment of peace in her heart. Thinking that her son Yang Xiaoqian is now fighting aliens or other ghosts outside, Luo Fei couldn't shake off the fear that filled her mind.

In contrast, Yang Yan was very calm, at least he seemed calm. He was smoking a cigar, drinking fine wine, and even sitting on a reclining chair and reading comics, but the black and white comics he was holding in his hand. The book hasn't turned pages for a long time.

This kind of tormented waiting is not unfamiliar to Yang Yan. There were many large-scale battles in which Yang Xiaoqian personally directed or even fought in the far river. Every time Yang Yan was "invited" to the safest place and "rested well" ".

At first, Yang Yan was more anxious than Luo Fei, and tried every means to leave the safe house to participate in the battlefield. Once, Yang Yan did succeed. With the gambler's unique ability to deceive, Yang Yan got rid of the guards, and the final result was Yang Yan. Yan did not make any contribution to the corpse battlefield, but killed two loyal and brave young people.

   Since then, Yang Yan has clearly realized his position: he is not a father capable of protecting his son, just a burden. As a burden who is powerless in the face of battle, the only way to help his son is to try his best to remain silent, not to make any noise, not to make messes, so that his son can concentrate on his own business and not have to be distracted by the useless father concern.

  Most fathers are willing to be a stepping stone for their sons, devoting their whole lives to send their dear children to a higher place. Yang Yan belongs to this majority, but Yang Xiaoqian's rise is far faster than Yang Yan's imagination. Even in Yang Yan's wildest dreams, he never imagined that his son would become a prince of China. This is a lifelong struggle for many people. Achievements that cannot be obtained - many people will blur Yang Xiaoqian's age because of his means, power and mystery, but Yang Yan will not forget that his son is only nineteen years old.

   The higher he climbs, the harder he falls. Young and proud people often end in tragedy. Yang Yan is deeply worried about this, and he can hardly sleep or sleep at night. As a father, he should stand up to protect his children at this time, but Yang Yan doesn't have this ability, so all Yang Yan can do is keep calm, or at least pretend to make Yang Xiaoqian feel at ease.

Whether his nerves are big, his behavior is off-line, his thoughts are weird, or he is addicted to gambling, all of them are fakes used by Yang Yan to cover up his true thoughts. Dad is very good, Dad is business as usual, there is nothing for you to worry about, you must not feel guilty about it, continue to go all out and do your own business well.

In fact, this kind of disguise is not easy, because Yang Yan not only has to behave like this in front of Yang Xiaoqian, but also in front of everyone including his wife Luo Fei, otherwise as long as anyone notices something wrong, they will tell Yang Xiaoqian. Report - As one of the few veterans of the Yuanjiao Society, although Yang Yan does not have much real power, he still has certain resources, enough to find out his security level and the special attention that the investigation team has paid to him.

  Fortunately, Yang Yan had enough time to adapt, and staying in Yuanjiang for more than half a year was enough for Yang Yan to slowly change his mentality and adapt to his new identity. But Luo Fei is different. It has been less than three months since the disappearance of the dome. It is difficult for an ordinary person to adapt to such a huge change in identity. Luo Fei did not adapt to his noble status as "the biological mother of the president of the Far Rescue Association". , I can't understand Yang Yan's calmness.

   Yang Yan's seemingly indifferent gesture made Luo Fei angry, but Luo Fei didn't deliberately open her mouth to cause a quarrel. Luo Fei just kept pouring wine into his mouth.

   I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but the cold liquor flowed down his throat, but it failed to extinguish the anger in Luo Fei's heart, instead it made the fire more and more vigorous.

   When Luo Fei picked up the corkscrew and was about to open the second bottle of wine, Yang Yan finally couldn't help but say, "Drink less."

  Luo Fei ignored Yang Yan and continued to twist the corkscrew. Going her own way was her way of expressing her dissatisfaction.

After all, it was a couple who had been together for more than 20 years. With Luo Fei's movement and look, Yang Yan knew what his wife was thinking. He couldn't help but sighed. He threw the comic book in his hand as a display and stood up to help Luo Fei. I opened the cork and poured half a glass for my wife and half a glass for myself.

   "Wife, do you think I don't care enough about Xiaoqian? Are you scolding me in your heart, my son is fighting outside, and my father is smoking and drinking here?"

  Luo Fei gave Yang Yan the look of an old lady who doesn't want to talk, especially doesn't want to talk to you.

  Yang Yan smiled bitterly, raised his head and drank the wine from the goblet, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Peace! Come here!"

  Yang Ping'an, who was lying on the ground next to him, got up with a squeak, twisted his **** enchantingly, walked to Yang Yan's feet and sat down, panting haha.

"Wife, you know that I don't really like keeping dogs that much. Grooming, bathing, shoveling **** and urine... I'm going to be troublesome." Yang Yan fondly touched Yang Ping'an's hairy head, and Ping An enjoyed lying down and turned over. He showed his belly and looked at Yang Yan flatteringly.

"Didn't you keep asking me why I keep Ping An?" Yang Yan stretched out his hand and scratched Ping An's stomach gently, and said softly, "At that time we were in Jiangxin Island, and you might not believe it when the dome came down, Xiao Qian said. He became the ruler of Paradise Island and Jiangxin Island... he could be considered a dictator. From then on, I felt that there was a transparent wall between me and Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian was too busy, day and night. At work, in addition to some pretentious celebration feasts, he even devoured meals in the office, and he also listened to reports while eating."

  Luo Fei was stunned, slowly put down the glass, and listened carefully. For more than two months, she often asked about her husband and son's experiences in Yuanjiang, but Yang Yan would always divert the topic and avoid answering.

"Xiaoqian smokes, you know? I don't know when I started smoking, but I found out as soon as I went back to Yuanjiang. At that time, I thought, hey, I may not live until tomorrow, what's wrong with smoking two cigarettes? So I I didn't care anymore. Later, Xiaoqian's power expanded like a snowball. I guess we could survive, but I still didn't let Xiaoqian quit smoking, because Xiaoqian was really tired, and I couldn't control him anymore. He's a child again, but a real man, a man who stands upright in the sky, supporting the people of Yuanjiang."

   Speaking of this, Yang Yan's eyes gradually became wet, Luo Fei reached out and put her hand on Yang Yan's hand and gently rubbed it. She had never seen her husband cry silently like this.

"But Xiaoqian he...he quit smoking, he actually quit! Wife, you can't imagine what kind of life Xiaoqian is living, how much pressure he is under, he has no time for entertainment, the only way to release the pressure is Smoke some cigarettes and drink some wine, but as a ruler of a big power, he must always keep his mind sober, so Xiaoqian rarely drinks alcohol, and later he stopped smoking. No matter how he explained it to others, in my heart You know, Xiaoqian knew that I was worried about his health and didn't want me to worry about him, so he quit smoking. Although he hasn't quit smoking completely, he only smokes one when he is very bored. "

"Xiaoqian understands filial piety. I'm very happy, but I'm in pain. How could I become a useless jerk, a **** who can't help my son, but also distracts and suffers from his son? So I don't want to let Xiaoqian do it for me. I was distracted, and I didn’t want to see Xiaoqian make changes for me that I didn’t like, so I kept Ping An and let Xiaoqian be busy with his own affairs. When I missed him, I went to the corridor of his office to take a look. , go in and sit occasionally, I will spend more time with Ping An, and Ping An can relieve my boredom."

   "As parents, it's really bad if we can't help our son. We really can't think about our own feelings selfishly anymore. Even if we're not happy, we should pretend to be happy so that Xiaoqian can concentrate on what he should do."

  Luo Fei was silent for a long time, speechless, the husband and wife hugged each other and hugged each other.

   "Old Yang, what do you think is going on outside?"

   "I don't know, we can ask the guard outside the door."

   "Don't, don't ask, I'm afraid, I don't want to hear... Do you think Xiaoqian will be okay?"

   "I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that Xiaoqian will never go to the battlefield in person unless..."

"unless?"

   "Nothing, Xiao Qian is very cautious, don't worry." Yang Yan patted Luo Fei and added the last sentence in his heart.

   Unless he has a reason to go, for example, to save the world.
