I had a dream.

In the dream, I was standing in the long and narrow corridor of Yuki's house, and Daddy Daddy was sitting by the yard with his arms crossed and asked me if I wanted to eat the watermelon brought out by the maid with him.I say yes.But when my fingertips touched the watermelon he handed me, bright red liquid oozed from the fruit's juicy pulp, staining my entire palm red.

There was an oppressive pain on my neck, and I saw a huge gap in Daddy Cheap's chest, and a black weapon with red texture passed through the gap, bringing out palpitating dark blood flowers.

I flung my eyes open.

The woman in the black kimono clamped down on my neck. She put all her body's strength on her hands, but she let go of her hands the moment I was awake, lying on top of me and crying loudly.

I looked at the pale ceiling of the ward.Mother's heart-piercing cries echoed in the room, hitting the eardrum one after another.

I don't know how long it took, the woman stood up with a steady center of gravity, she raised her hand and touched my head, with a smile that was not much better than crying: "You are seriously injured, take a good rest, at home I'll take care of it."

Things at home...?

It took me almost 1 minute to understand what she meant.

Cheap Daddy is dead.

As the only source of income for the Yucheng family, the Yucheng family will almost collapse once the cheap daddy leaves.Mother is just a weak and rich lady raised in a deep boudoir. She alone, let alone cheap daddy's office, may not even be able to support the family in Liancheng.

The home that was obtained with great difficulty was lost in the end.

I didn't think my mother was trying to strangle me.After all, Cheap Daddy died because of me. I am not their biological daughter. They raised me up, taught me how to fight, and sent me to high school. The way of their kindness is to let cheap daddy be a scapegoat.

She should hate me.

Not only her, I hate myself too.

If I had been more rational at that time and thought of a more secure solution, maybe none of this would have happened, Daddy Cheap would not have died, and I wouldn't have to lie here staring at the ceiling of the ward in a daze.

But where are there so many ifs in the world?There is no way to change what has happened. What is in front of me and my mother is such a desperate endgame.

"You...don't scold me?"

I heard my own dry voice popping out of my throat, they were as hoarse as crows crowing on a dead old tree.

"You didn't do anything wrong." Unexpectedly, my mother answered my question very calmly, "I only hate myself for not being good enough to let him come out of the past... I have been married to him for so many years, but Still can't beat her."

"……Who?"

The woman's palm fell on top of my head again, and her tone was soft, as if she had been sitting in the living room talking to me about the results of the final exam in the past few years: "You don't need to know that the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with you .”

The grievances of the previous generation?

I stared blankly at the woman's face.

Her expression was a little strange, completely different from the mother I remembered.If the mother in memory is a weak and gorgeous cherry blossom, then she is more like a green bamboo standing tall and straight in the wind and rain.

The TV in the ward plays the latest news.

I caught their central idea from the unclear words—the symbol of peace, All Might, finally fell after defeating the leader of the enemy alliance, the man named "AllForOne".

As All Might's growing weakness was exposed to the eyes of the public, more and more people accepted the fact that "the symbol of peace has faded away", and the whole society was shrouded in a cloud of bleakness and uneasiness.

In the battle of Shenye, the hero side lost four heroes, the puppeteer died, All Might was unable to fight again, the puppet cat could not use his personality again, and the Chaobao Bull King was seriously injured and was bedridden, temporarily losing his ability to move.The head of the enemy coalition was arrested, but all his followers fled, and the outcome of the battle was not even a draw.

Among the professional heroes who were involved in the incident, three were all powerful heroes in the top ten.Such a situation led to a reshuffle of the hero rankings, and Yuki's office was also crumbling in this round of reshuffle.

I lay in the hospital for ten days.During these ten days, I told my mother that I didn't want to see anyone, and even the police who came to take notes were turned away, and I lay in bed for ten days.

No.11 days later, I was finally able to stand up again.

A side effect of overusing my personality has left my legs out of combat.Although I can still move normally, my proud legwork is completely unusable.

In order to make up for the lack of legs, my mother gave me a short knife and asked me to try to fight with it.

The utility knife that Bakugo gave me was curled when I slept in the forest, and it was only for decoration, so I found a box to store it and hid it at the bottom of the suitcase.

To be honest, I really thought about it, if I hadn't agreed to Bakugo's bet at that time, and hadn't enthusiastically submitted the application to transfer to Class A to Mr. Aizawa, would everything have been different.However, as I said before, there are not so many ifs in the world, and I am not a personality holder who can predict the future, so things have become like this, and I have no position to complain to anyone.

Every step I have gone through and every pain I have endured is the result of my own choices. All I can do is to shoulder these things and continue on this road.

After coming out of the hospital, I took a taxi directly to Daddy Cheap's office.

The signboard of the office is still as bright as in memory, but there is no shadow of Cheap Daddy under that signboard anymore.

When entering the office, all the members of the office stopped their work.

The sights shot from all directions are like sticky glue, covering all the air around him.I felt that my breathing became a lot slower, and in the end I still couldn't express the words of apology that I typed thousands of times in the taxi.

I gritted my teeth and bowed to the adults in the office.

They must be hating me.If it wasn't for saving me, Daddy Cheap should still be standing here, as the backbone of the office, maintaining order and supporting their work.

"Look up." A pair of leather shoes stopped at the end of my sight.The senior who used to tease me and Bakugou on the street during the sports festival vacation stretched out his hand to hold my shoulders, half forcing me to straighten up, "You are the future master of the office, the master must look like the master, with a mournful face Can't lead us to heroic activities!"

I froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the others.

Everyone had the same expressions as the seniors in front of them. They smiled and looked at me with encouraging eyes.

"You need to grow up faster, Miss Niuxu." The senior patted my shoulder lightly, then let me go, and walked back to the place where he was just now, "Don't wait until we are all retired to get it." Hero qualifications!"

I don't know how I should react.

He could only lower his head again, bowing as fiercely as before.

"I will work hard!"
