Mu Bei got up very early on weekends, and when he woke up, Mu Nan and Mu Xiaogui were still sleeping on the bed.Ever since Mu Xiaogui saw him and Mu Nan in the water together, the little guy came over with his pillow in his arms and said that he wanted to sleep together. The bed in the guest bedroom was a bit small, so Mu Nan simply asked Mu Bei to move back to the master bedroom.

After the three of them slept together, Mu Xiaogui's sleeping position was not so strange, because there were less places for him to spin.Mu Bei kicked up the wooden turtle who had slept in the middle of the bed to prevent him from getting bored with the quilt, and then pressed the quilt for him. After doing all this, he looked at Mu Nan, who was sleeping on the other side, and then lightly I got off the bed, went to the bedroom to wash up, took my wallet and went out, planning to buy breakfast.

After he went out, Mu Nan, who seemed to be still sleeping, opened his eyes. He sat up from the bed, and lightly patted Mu Xiaogui on the shoulder, "Mu Xiaogui, wake up."

Mu Xiaogui rubbed against the puffer puppet, opened his eyes, looked at Mu Nan sleepily, and murmured, "Good morning, Dad."

"Good morning baby." Mu Nan patted his head, "It's time to get up, do you remember where we are going today?"

"Remember." Mu Xiaogui turned over and lay on his stomach, arched his buttocks, buried his head in the pillow, and acted like a baby, "The master hugged me~"

Mu Nan smiled, stretched out his hand to pick him up, and held him in his arms, "Why are you acting so coquettish early in the morning?"

"Hey." Mu Xiaogui chuckled twice, looked at the empty bed on the other side, "Where's Beibei?"

"Let's go buy breakfast, let's get up and wash our faces first, and we can go out after breakfast." Mu Nan picked up the clothes prepared last night and helped him change, and then went to brush his teeth and wash his face with him.

After they finished brushing their teeth, washing their faces, and packing up their things, Mu Bei just came back, and when he entered the door, he saw the two of them sitting on the sofa in full dress, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

Mu Bei put the breakfast on the table, looked at Mu Nan who was walking over, "Do you want to go out?"

"That's right!" Mu Xiaogui replied, "I'm going out."

Mu Bei bent down and carried him to the chair, pinched his little nose, "Where are you going?"

"This is a secret." Mu Xiaogui said mysteriously, took the buns that Mu Nan gave him and began to eat.

"I've learned how to play tricks." Mu Bei raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Nan.

"You'll know when you get there." Mu Nan smiled, and sat down on the chair beside her.

After the three of them had breakfast, they went out together. Mu Bei sat in the back with Mu Xiaogui in his arms, and Mu Nan drove out of the parking lot.The car was a little hot with the heater on, Mu Bei helped Mu Xiaogui take off the scarf around his neck and put it aside, listening to him talk about what happened at school these days.

There was beautiful piano music playing in the car, accompanied by Mu Xiaogui's giggling laughter.Mu Nan held the steering wheel, looked at Mu Bei holding Mu Xiaogui in the front mirror, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and his mood was unexpectedly clear, such a mood has never been felt in the past every year.

He was driving at a steady speed. After driving out of the urban area, he slowly increased his speed and drove to the suburbs.

Mu Bei was not familiar with Bincheng. Looking at the increasingly remote scenery outside the window, he asked aloud, "Where are we going?"

"Go to the mountain." Mu Xiaogui said, pointing to a mountain across the driveway.

From the half-opened car window, he saw a hill that was not too high on the opposite side, and the distance from here was not too far, but it took a while to get around from the driveway of the mountain road, to go to the hill?Mu Bei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mu Nan in the driver's seat, "What are you doing there? Winter tour?"

"You will know when you get there." Mu Nan smiled, "It will be here soon, you can sleep for a while."

"I'm not sleepy." Hearing what Mu Nan said, Mu Bei didn't ask anymore. It didn't matter where he went anyway, but the mysterious attitude of the father and son made him a little curious.

After some detours, the car finally stopped at the bottom of the mountain Mu Xiaogui pointed out. There was a large open space under the mountain, which looked like a simple parking lot. When they got there, the open space also stopped. took two cars.

Helping Mu Xiaogui put the scarf back on, Mu Bei got off the car and carried him out to the ground. The temperature in the suburbs is lower than that in the urban area, and there are gusts of wind blowing from time to time.Mu Bei lowered his head and asked Mu Xiaogui, "Is it cold?"

"Not cold, wearing a lot of clothes." Mu Xiaogui flicked the tail of the little scarf, smiled and shook his head.

Mu Bei stroked his furry head, looked towards the stairs in the mountain, and said to Mu Nan who had locked the car, "Shall we go up?"

"Well, let's go up first." Mu Nan nodded, took Mu Xiaogui with one hand, nodded to Mu Bei, and walked up the stairs with him.

The steps in the mountains are a bit uneven, and some steps have slight cracks. It seems that they have aged for a certain period of time. Grass blades have grown on the cracks. Because it is winter, the leaves are a little yellow.The air in the mountains is very fresh, without the polluted smell of urban areas, with a sense of natural relaxation. It was because the time was still early. Even though it was winter, there were still a few scattered bird calls.

This mountain is not too high, but the steps are built around the mountain, and it takes a lot of work to walk up.After the three of them walked for a while, Mu Xiaogui looked a little tired. Although he didn't make a sound, it could be seen from his slightly furrowed eyebrows and his words that gradually decreased.Mu Nan slowed down, just as he was about to hug him, Mu Bei on the other side bent over and hugged Mu Xiaogui one step ahead of him.

"I can still go." Mu Xiaogui said with some embarrassment. He actually had some pain in his feet, but he was ashamed to say that he was a little man!

"Yeah." Mu Bei responded, and didn't expose him, but just hugged him and Mu Nan and continued to move forward.

Mu Xiaogui stuck out his tongue, and lay on Mu Bei's shoulder, "Thank you Beibei, in fact, I walked a lot more than last year. Last year, I walked a little bit and the commander hugged me up."

"Oh?" Mu Bei looked at Mu Nan when he heard the words, meaning they also came here last year?

"You were young last year, so it's good if you can walk." Mu Nan smiled, took out Mu Xiaogui's water bottle from his bag and gave him a drink, and opened a bottle of mineral water himself.

The water bottle has a straw, Mu Xiaogui took two sips from it, and then handed it to Mu Bei who was holding him, "Beibei drinks water."

Mu Bei took a sip from the straw and pushed it back to him. He was not thirsty.

Seeing that Mu Xiaogui fed Mu Bei with water, Mu Nan took back the mineral water in his hand.

While the three were walking up, someone came down from the mountain. A man and a woman were wearing black coats. The man looked a little serious, while the woman had a haggard face, as if she had just cried.When passing by them, Mu Bei had a strange feeling. He looked up at the top of the mountain, and it seemed that it was not a good place.

After walking together without the short-legged wooden turtle, the two of them moved much faster, and they reached the mountain after a while. After going up, Mu Bei finally understood the reason for the strange feeling in his heart. It turned out that the top of the mountain turned out to be a tomb. garden.

Mu Bei stood in the back with Mu Xiaogui in his arms. Mu Nan went to buy a small bouquet of flowers and incense from the gate guard of the cemetery. Mu Bei watched him greet the gate guard with a gentle expression, and chatted with him.The doorman seemed to be asking about Mu Xiaogui, and looked at them. Mu Xiaogui, who was nestled in his arms, waved at them.

"Baby." Mu Bei patted Mu Xiaogui's butt and asked him, "Who are we here to see?"

"Look at Grandpa." Mu Xiaogui said, since they've already arrived at the cemetery, there's no need to hide it from Mu Bei anymore, "Father said today is the anniversary of Grandpa's death, and he wants to come to pay respects to Grandpa."

Mu Xiaogui's grandfather, that is Mu Nan's father.Mu Bei was in a trance for a moment, is this taking him to meet his parents?

"Do you come every year?" he asked.

Mu Xiaogui thought for a while, then shook his head, "I came last year, the others...don't remember."

After shopping, Mu Nan came over and said to the two, "Let's go."

"Beibei let me down, I'll go by myself~" Mu Xiaogui moved his body, Mu Bei Ruyan let him down, instead took his hand, and entered the cemetery with Mu Nan.

Mu Nan's father's tomb is in the inner part of the cemetery. Although the location is a little bit off, the area looks quite spacious and the view is relatively good. The direction the tombstone faces can still see the sea.

Mu Nan put the flowers on the right side of the tombstone, lit the incense and inserted them in front of the tombstone, and then dug out two small cans of liquor from the bag and put them together.

"He Mu Xiaogui came to see you today, and brought your favorite drink back then. Don't be too little, as drinking too much will hurt your health." Mu Nan said with a smile to the black and white photo on the stone tablet.Mu Xiaogui broke away from Mu Bei's hand, walked over and stood next to Mu Nan, and said obediently to the tombstone, "Grandpa, we're watching you."

Mu Bei stood behind them, his gaze fell on the photo of the stele.The person in the photo is very young, looks about the same age as Mu Nan now, with neatly combed hair, wearing rimless glasses, his facial features are somewhat similar to Mu Nan, and his temperament is also very gentle. He couldn't connect with the alcoholic father Mu Nan had mentioned before.

Mu Nan held Mu Xiaogui's hand and bowed to the person on the tombstone, then turned around and said to Mu Bei, "Take Mu Xiaogui and wait there first, I want to talk to my father." He pointed A small pavilion on the other side.

Mu Bei nodded, stepped forward to pick up Mu Xiaogui and left, leaving him alone.

After Mu Bei left, Mu Nan stood in front of Mu Bei, looked at the man on the stone tablet for a while, and then said slowly, "Every year I come here to tell you about Mu Xiaogui, let's change the topic this time, I'll bring you Someone came to see you, the one you saw just now." As he spoke, he looked up at Mu Bei who was sitting on the other side of the pavilion, who was sitting with Mu Bei on a stone bench, feeding Mu Bei to drink. Water, as if aware of his gaze, looked up.

After staring at each other for a while, Mu Nan smiled at him, looked away, and continued, "Except for Mu Xiaogui, this is the first time I brought someone else to see you. You know what I mean, his name is Mu Bei, and it's me. A person who intends to live his whole life, and." He paused a little while speaking, and said word by word, "He is Mu Xiaogui's other father."

"I'm like you, you've always known that, that's why you stopped me from getting too close to Chen Jinzhou, didn't you want me to repeat the same mistakes? You don't want me to become like you, drinking all day long .”

Mu Nan's impression of his father has always been that of a "drunkard". Apart from drinking, his father had almost nothing else to arouse his interest, and he also ignored his son. If you don't get up, let it fend for itself.

So Mu Nan learned to take care of himself at a very young age, even taking care of his alcoholic father.

The hardships of childhood made Mu Nan always want to escape from the home that was not called home at all. He always thought that he wanted to leave there, and wanted to leave the father who ignored him.Before the accident, he had always believed in this. He even filled out the college entrance examination volunteers in other places, and planned to leave as soon as the scores came out.

Until the day when the results of the college entrance examination were released, the father, who had been drinking all day long, accidentally didn't drink a drop of alcohol that day, went out early in the morning, and died on the spot in an accidental car accident.

He was completely dumbfounded when he heard the news. The person who was yelling and cursing in the room yesterday because he was drunk suddenly disappeared like this, without even giving him a chance to react.

"The results of the college entrance examination are released today. I'll go and see my brat's score. The brat studies pretty well. He should be able to get into a good school."

He learned this sentence from an aunt downstairs. When his father met her before going out, he rarely took the initiative to say hello to someone and said this sentence.

It was also these words that made Mu Nan, who had lost his mind when he heard the news, wake up, and then was forced to cry.

My brat.

These simple four words are a sentence that he has never heard from his father after living with his father for 18 years. It is simple and beautiful, but it can only be learned from others.

It was only after his father died that he knew that he had a sum of money in his name, which he could use in the future. The money saved by his alcoholic father, before he knew it, was secretly doing it for him in the future. planning, but he thought about leaving him in the future.

After all, Mu Nan did not leave Bincheng, he gave up the admission notice sent by a well-known university in other provinces, and chose to go to university in this city, the place closest to his father.

Even so, some things are irreparable after all, and what is lost can never come back.

Later, when he was sorting out his belongings, he found a photo in the cabinet. It showed his father in high school and a boy in school uniform like him. On the back of the photo was written [Mu Boyu, Xiang Yinan, June 19, 6xx] Mu Boyu.This is the father's name.

Xiang Yinan, he guessed it was the name of another boy in the photo.

Mu Boyu, Xiang Yinan.The two names have nothing to do with each other, but Mu Nan derived his own name from between them.At that time, Mu Nan didn't think much about it, he just regarded it as his father's friend during his lifetime, until he gave birth to Mu Xiaogui, he realized that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

What kind of friends would take their son's name after the names of both parties.

These answers he found in a diary in the cabinet.

When he first discovered the diary, he didn't read it, but locked it together with the photos, otherwise he wouldn't have discovered his specialness after having Mu Xiaogui.

Later, I learned from the diary that the father and the teenager in the photo were lovers. The two were high school classmates. They have been together since high school and university. Unlike the father, who is an orphan and relies on financial aid to go to school, the other party’s family conditions are very good. , and is an only child.After the relationship between the two was exposed, the other party was forcibly sent abroad by his family, but the distance did not stop the two from falling in love. Several times, the other party secretly ran back to find his father. It was also during the process of running back and forth between the two countries that accidents occurred. No one survived the plane crash, and the other party's list was on the flight that day.

After the other party's accident, the desperate father no longer had the desire to live alone. It was also at that time that Mu Nan who appeared suddenly made him give up the idea of ​​seeking death.

From the diary, Mu Nan knew that he had no mother, he was born by his father, only another father who had never met and died in a plane crash.

The last page of the diary was filled with the names of "Xiang Yinan", some of them were torn through the paper because of too much force, and he could almost see his father's strong yearning and sorrow from it, and his other love for him. Father's love.

"Don't worry, I promise you will have a good life, and it won't be like yours back then." Mu Nan said softly, looking at the young father in the photo, he couldn't help feeling sour, he raised his hand and brushed away the fallen father. A few leaves on the stone tablet, "He treats me very well, and he also likes Wood Turtle very much. There is no obstacle between us, only each other."

"So don't worry, I'll be fine."

"We will come to see you together every year in the future, I promise."

"So you...you have to have a good time with him, and be with him in a place where we can't see it." Mu Nan sighed, blinking away the astringency in his eyes, "No one will stop you anymore. "

The man in the photo still looked at him quietly without any answer, his eyes were peaceful and soft.

Standing up from the tomb, Mu Nan bent over the tombstone, "I'll come and see you next time." After speaking, he turned and waved to Mu Bei and the others, signaling them to come over.

Although Mu Bei was sitting in the pavilion with Mu Xiaogui, his attention was always on Mu Nan's side. Seeing him waving, he led Mu Xiaogui and walked over.

"Finished?" Mu Bei asked.

"Yeah." Mu Nan nodded, "Let's go back."

"Yeah." Mu Bei looked at the stele, left with him, and stopped suddenly after walking a certain distance, "Wait for me."

"What's the matter?" Mu Nan asked him, just after he finished speaking, he saw him run back to the tombstone, bowed seriously, and then said something, but the distance was a bit far, Mu Nan couldn't hear his words clearly.

Mu Bei quickly ran back, picked up Mu Xiaogui, "Let's go."

"Did you talk to your father?" Mu Nan asked him as he walked.

"Tell him that I won't dislike you, so let him rest assured." Mu Bei said.

"...You really are." Mu Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but a warm current surged in his heart because of his words, he tightened his coat and went down the mountain with Mu Bei.

The cemetery is very quiet, with only a slight wind blowing, the flowers under the stele are not bright, but the people in the photos on the stele are very peaceful.

——Hello, father, please allow me to call you that.I am Mu Bei, Mu Xiaogui's other father, I will treat them very well, I promise you, we will come to see you again next year.
