The Redemption of "White Moonlight"

On the day when Qiao Jinhai and Ji Linghe got engaged, Qiao An Duku sat in front of the window and felt that what was in front of him was not the transparent glass, but the iron window inside the prison.

He habitually raised the corners of his lips, thinking of Ji Linghe's smiling face, but in a flash, he remembered Ji Linghe's desperate cry when he hung up the phone.

How could he bear to treat her like that?

But he had to.

Sometimes he would think, it would be great if Ji Linghe fell in love with A-level Qiao Jinhai at the beginning.

But then, at home, would his presence have any meaning?

Ji Linghe was a ray of light when he was young. Now, he closed the window with his own hands and forced it to stay outside.

That's right, if Ji Linghe follows him, there will be no good results. He is born to be a disaster star, no matter how hard he tries to tell jokes and pretend to be humorous.

Parents died because of him too.

His life didn't seem to be bright.

On the day he left the authority area, Qiao Andu didn't feel anything in his heart. He was not happy that he had finally left this hell on earth, and the life of a lord he had always longed for seemed to have lost its meaning to him now.

Because of what happened in the authority area, his friends left him, and Ji Linghe couldn't stay with him. After all, he was alone.

But even so, he does not intend to give up, because he has devoted too much to this matter.

The territory assigned to him by the above is indeed a "barren land", and there is not even the most basic lord tower in each area, and the residents here, in the words above, are the lowest C-level.

Incorrigible grade C.

Nonsense.

But Qiao Jinhai believes that every life is equal.

He set foot on this land without hesitation.

At the beginning, he was expelled, abused, and ridiculed by the residents. They were xenophobic, because foreigners were always mean and unreasonable.

It doesn't matter, Qiao An Du has enough patience, he will let them accept the materials and education he brought.

People's hearts will change, as long as you are sincere enough.

The next year, when he mentioned that the lords in other regions had lord towers, a resident sitting across from him raised his hand, "We can have one too! We'll give you one too!"

Many times, the people here can be said to be so innocent that it makes people laugh, but what they see in their eyes is the purest. Here, Qiao An Du sees things that he has never seen in the metropolis.

Residents spontaneously built towers for him.

On the day the tower was built, Qiao Andu looked up at him and smiled.

As long as you have someone to support you.

His tower can be said to be mediocre, and it can't be compared with towers in other regions at all, but Qiao Andu is very happy and satisfied, because there is no lord's tower that was built by the residents for the lord.

He made up his mind to live a good life here.

He began to tell the residents here the stories of this continent, telling them the prosperity of the Diamond District, the hardships of the Authority District...and the oppression under the SABC-level system.

At the same time, Qiao Andu also heard that in Qiao's house, Ji Linghe, who gave birth to Qiao Dong, is not doing well. Over the years, she has been tortured to the point where she is almost insane, and she is divorcing Qiao Jinhai.

It's not that no one has introduced a partner to Qiao An Du, but he always smiles and shirks the excuse.

In himself, he is a person who is not easy to be tempted. Sometimes he thinks that it is not impossible to live alone like this for the rest of his life.

Originally, he had seriously thought about his future with Ji Linghe, but it seemed that it would never come true.

But one day, his appointed guardian knocked on his door and gave him a letter, the letter... was sent by Ji Linghe.

The content is very simple -

"Brother, I'm divorced and have no other place to go. I'm here to find you."

She called him "Brother".

Qiao Andu smiled wryly, he didn't dissuade or reprimand, but when Ji Linghe arrived, he accepted her like a brother.

"I don't love him, and he never respects me...by his side, I can't be a lord in my life. Although we have children, I don't think that's an excuse to tie me down. Anyway, what Qiao Jinhai wanted has always been It's a child, I'll just give it to him." Ji Linghe curled up in Qiao Andu's living room in a low voice, his eyes full of stubbornness.

In fact, in a sense, what she did was extremely irresponsible, but her courage to make this decision also made Qiao Andu helplessly think: "As expected of Zero River."

"Then... what about Qiao Dong? You leave him like this, don't you love him?"

"I love him, but if I continue to stay by his side in that way, it will be more cruel than leaving him directly." Ji Linghe raised his eyes, "Can you understand me? Brother An Du?"

What can Qiao Andu say?He took her in, let her live with him, made her familiar with this place, let her learn how to manage it, and make it better.

It's not that Qiao Jinhai never contacted Ji Linghe, he seemed to want to save him, but in the end it all ended with Ji Linghe hanging up the phone.

Qiao Jinhai even called Qiao Andu.

Facing Qiao Jinhai's anger, Qiao Andu remained calm, "You are already divorced, you have no reason to restrain her."

After months of commotion, Qiao Jinhai gradually calmed down.

The way Ji Linghe and Qiao Andu get along seems to be like ordinary siblings, but on that basis, there is a little more alienation.

As if they had never been in love.

However, when Ji Linghe was around, Qiao Andu felt that the world was bright. Even if he walked on the vast land, he felt that there was an oasis in front of him.

Once, because of the problem of developing agriculture, there was an oolong. Ji Linghe and Qiao Andu looked at each other's dirty face and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Afterwards, Ji Linghe fell silent.

"I... haven't been this happy for a long time," she said.

Qiao An Du stared at her, "If you don't think I'm poor, stay by my side, and I will try my best to make you happy all the time."

Ji Linghe didn't answer, but cried out.

Soon after, the two got married amidst the blessings of the residents in the border area.

Soon, Ji Linghe became pregnant.

"Give him a name." Ji Linghe stroked his abdomen and whispered to Qiao Andu.

"Ji He." Qiao Andu gently held her hand and replied.

"Why..." Ji Linghe was stunned, she wanted the child's surname to be Joe.

"I'm not from Qiao's family anymore... Besides, to me, these are not important. Your father's family only has you as a daughter, so let's call her Ji He."

That was the second time Ji Linghe shed tears. At that moment, she believed that she would only love the man in front of her in this life.

When Ji He was just one year old, Qiao Andu liked to take him to the newly established school to give lectures. Because there were no other teachers, he taught very complicated things, but fortunately everyone respected him, listened carefully and learned well. effort.

Gradually, some apprentices who were "learned" began to leave the border area and go to the distance. Before leaving, they swore to Qiao Andu that they would also tell the distant C-level what he had told them.

The development of the western border area is getting better and better, and Qiao Andu's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. Gradually, some people go to the border area to visit Qiao Andu specially, and then leave with the book written by Qiao Andu.

Ji Linghe is also a great help to Qiao Andu's career. While she helped Qiao Andu sort out the materials, she also gradually became familiar with various affairs in the tower. She doesn't like washing and cooking, and Qiao Andu never forces her to do it. They Often whispering, in Ji He's eyes, they seem to have endless secret words.

Poor is poor, but there is no doubt that Ji He had a happy childhood. He remembered that his parents took him to other districts to preach freedom and equality. They often walked off the stage amidst cheers.

But what Ji He cares most about is the delicacies from various places. Although he is not very old, he has eaten a lot of delicacies. Sometimes he will take his friends in the border area to travel with his parents. On the way, He is very happy.

He likes the fire-smelling food in the border area; he likes the call sign of everyone building a windbreak when the storm comes; he likes the muddy path after the rain;

His favorite thing is to smear his face with mud, run up to his father and make faces, and then his father will run after him. After he is caught, his father will slap his ass and scold him: "Ji Xiaohe, little troublemaker."

Dad likes to call him Ji Xiaohe, and when he reads it, there is only one sound different from his mother's name "Ji Linghe".

Ji He loves his parents. He feels that there will be no happier child in the world than himself.

"I also want to become a great lord like my father!" This was the first time Ji He told his dream.

Ji Linghe and Qiao Andu looked at the ashen Ji He, looked at each other and smiled helplessly, "Okay, Mom and Dad will find a way."

But the little Ji He didn't wait for the day when his parents sent him to the Lord's College together.

When the incident happened, Ji He was still playing wildly with a group of wild children as usual.

He looked into the sky and said, "...a storm seems to be coming."

Then he put his coat on his shoulders and walked towards Andu Tower.

In the tower, he saw that his home was in a mess. In the living room, Ji Linghe was standing trembling with a phone in his hand.

Ji He didn't know what happened, he called his father habitually, but he didn't get a response from his father.

The next day, Ji Linghe took Ji He out of the border area, and Ji He asked her: "Mom, where are we going?"

"Let's go...to find your father."

Ji He looked at the gradually shrinking Andu Tower outside the car window, and was still thinking about his agreement with Xiao Kamoxie.

He thought he would be home soon.

The place he left was previously called the West Frontier District, but now it is called the Andu District, which was named after his father.

Ji Linghe brought Ji He to the Diamond District, which is the center of the Gemstone District, extremely bustling and noisy.

That day, someone held a banner and yelled words, Ji He vaguely remembered that these words seemed to be what his father often said to the students...

Ji Linghe placed Ji He in the hotel, and hurried out the door. She went out to do errands, and before she left, she told Ji He not to go out casually.

Ji He sat inside the hotel and looked out the window. He felt that the Diamond District was very noisy, and after only three days since he left, he was extremely homesick.

When Ji Linghe came back, his hair was disheveled and his face was full of tears.

Little Jihe didn't know what happened, but he also cried with his mother.

But soon, my mother went out again. This time, she lost her mind and forgot to tell Ji He not to go out casually.

Ji He sat back in front of the window again. Not long after he learned to read, he began to recognize the characters on the banners pulled by the parade below.

Qiao Andu?

Ji He saw his father's name.

Execution... Qiao Andu?

The banner reads, "Refused to execute Qiao Andu!"

"B-level hero Qiao Andu..."

For a moment, Ji He panicked. At that time, there was only one thought in his mind - to ask the people below what happened.

Do they all know Dad?

Ji He stumbled downstairs and almost fell down the stairs.

He was too young, even if he pulled the sleeves of those people, those people only regarded him as a child, ignored him, and continued to roar forward.

Ji He had no choice but to walk forward under the crowd.

Then, he heard gunshots.

"Those A's are crazy!" someone said.

"The time is coming...he..." Someone shed tears.

For no reason, Ji He panicked, relying on his short stature, he shuttled forward.

Until the cold gun touched his forehead.

"Little devil, if you don't want to die, go back!" A man in uniform and hat said.

He seems to have come to an end.

Not far from the side, some people shot into the sky in order to drive away the crowd.

But Ji He was not afraid, he forgot everything, his eyes went straight through the human wall in front of him, and reached the very center of the empty space.

There, he saw Qiao Andu.

His father was knelt down on the stage, and someone also pointed a gun at his temple.

Ji He screamed mournfully, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the chaos behind him. He desperately squeezed through, completely ignoring the sound of the man in uniform pulling the trigger behind him.

His gaze met his father's.

Usually, just like before any conversation on weekdays, the corners of his father's lips curled up. Ji He couldn't hear his voice, but he understood what he said——

"Ji Xiaohe, don't be afraid."

Then, there was a bang.

Father fell to the ground.

Ji He's knees also knocked on the ground uncontrollably, his whole body went limp, he couldn't make a sound even if he wanted to, and only gasped slightly.

For a long time, Ji He felt that he was wandering in a dream.

It's just that there is a faint mother's voice in the dream, and occasionally a doctor in a white coat can be seen in the afterimage of the dream.

"Give him an injection...well, it's so small...it feels better...it's so pitiful..."

When Ji He woke up, his eyes were blank. A woman hurriedly walked into his field of vision. Her eyes were red, but she never shed tears. She hugged him.

"Xiaohe...it's okay...it's okay..."

Ji He knew in a daze that the woman in front of him was his mother.
