Daughter, I really love you.

"Daughter, I really love you
." I'm truly an unfortunate man.

I still vividly remember my beautiful wife, fourteen years ago, her pale face on the hospital bed after giving birth to Jia Yi.

"Mingxiang… I think I'm not going to make it…"

she said weakly, holding her newborn Jia Yi, still streaked with blood.

Beside her, I cried uselessly, clutching my wife's hand tightly, not caring whether the tears or snot streaming down my face; in short, it was a complete mess. "

You won't, you won't! Didn't you promise to take Jia Yi and me to Zhiben, to let him soak in your favorite hot springs with you?!" "I'm sorry… Mingxiang, it seems I… can't fulfill that promise…"

she said with difficulty, her eyelids drooping.

I took a deep breath, grabbed the nurse who had been standing behind me for a long time, and shouted: "You must have a way to save her, you must!! Think of a way, please!" The nurse was stunned by my impulsiveness and helplessly called to the doctor standing beside her.

However, the doctor didn't stop me. He just placed his hand on my shoulder and said, "Mr. Liu... I understand your pain. Please calm down..."

Calm down? How dare you tell me to calm down?! I yelled angrily, shoving the nurse away and running back to the bedside: "Ling, don't sleep! You absolutely can't fall asleep!!" "Mingxiang... I'm so tired... so very tired..." she said. I could clearly feel—the flame of my beautiful wife's life was slowly dying out.

"Ling, Ling! Don't leave me!" My eyes were already blurred with tears, but I dared not wipe them away, because I was truly terrified of my wife leaving before my eyes.

"Xiang... promise me one thing..."

"Tell me, tell me! I'll promise you anything, please... don't leave me...

Keep Jiayi smiling... just like... you do for me..."

"I promise you! I promise you... don't close your eyes! Ling, Ling!" I felt his hand gradually losing strength, his fingers loosening weakly, and I too fell into the abyss of despair...

"Ling, answer me, please..."

I gently shook her body, hoping for even the slightest response.

But I didn't get that sliver of hope I wanted.

I could only cry, cry and cry, letting tears stream down my face and snot drip into my mouth.

"Mr. Liu, please accept my condolences..."

The doctor patted my shoulder, looked at the flat electrocardiogram, and sighed. "

Are you even qualified to be a doctor?" I yelled. I grabbed the doctor angrily and punched him hard in the face, knocking him to the side and spitting out two or three teeth I had broken.

Just then, my sister burst into the room and grabbed me: "Brother! What are you doing?! Don't do this! Don't stop me, let go! Brother, brother! Haven't you had enough?!" Suddenly, a powerful impact, accompanied by a deafening roar, slammed into my face. My vision blurred, I spun twice, and rolled to the ground, knocking over several pieces of medical equipment.

I touched my swollen cheek, glaring at my furious father. "

Calm down! How old are you? Are you trying to escalate this?" I sat on the ground, seething with anger, wiping away my tears as I thought of my wife's face before her death. "

I'm sorry, son was ignorant. I'll reimburse you and your hospital for the compensation."

My father bowed to the doctor, who stood up, but simply shook his head with a frown…

However, from that moment on, the suffering began…

After that incident, the hospital sued me. Although I only had to pay some money thanks to the victim's understanding, the psychological trauma was difficult to heal.

I skipped many weeks of work. My supervisor, aware of my predicament, simply took on a lot of work for me, allowing me to rest at home.

But this is only a temporary measure; I still have to face the same unchanging life—I know that very well.

However, I really have no energy right now. I even left my daughter with my parents to raise; I don't want to take on any responsibilities as a father, and I find getting sunlight too much trouble.

So, I simply quit my job, feeling very sorry for my supervisor, and am barely surviving on my meager savings.

Eight years have passed quietly like this… but these eight years feel like a lifetime.

Life is truly meaningless; why should I continue living like this?
[Character i] Ring…
The phone beside me rang. I glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to huddle in the corner of the roughly five-square-meter room.

This was the sixth call, coming quickly and urgently, ringing again immediately after being hung up.

I didn't care what was so urgent; even if the world were about to end, I would just consider it a given.

Ring…

This is the seventh call… Don't the people calling get annoyed? I just want to live out the rest of my life like this... Anyway, once my existence is completely gone, I'll have no motivation to continue living.

Even the landlord downstairs is hoping I die soon.

...The mailbox overflowing with complaint letters and rent reminders tells me that.

Ring...

The eighth call.

I simply unplugged the phone, returning to my dark space all to myself.

The noisy sound finally stopped, never to ring again, never to disturb my long-dead soul.

Ring...

Huh? Didn't I unplug the phone a long time ago? Why is it ringing again? I slowly raised my head, and after confirming that I had indeed unplugged the phone, I shrank back into the corner.

It must be my imagination... Knock

knock knock...

Damn stupid son, open the door right now!! That's Dad's voice... Looks like trouble has really gotten to the family.

Please, don't bother me... Just let me leave like this, I won't disturb anyone...

Your daughter is already eight years old, eight years old! Do you want to turn her into an orphan on the street? "After Huiling left, you just threw away all the things she left behind?!" Hearing this, images of Ling's every smile and the happy days we spent together flashed through my mind, and tears started falling uncontrollably again.

I don't care anymore.

What kind of father abandons his daughter to her parents? I'm leaving first, you can just let your daughter be buried here with me! Not long after, the sound of a car engine starting up urgently came from downstairs.

I never thought my dad would be so heartless, just leaving his granddaughter here like this.

So... troublesome.

Should I go and see her? Anyway, there are so many abandoned children in the world, and the landlord will definitely take Jiayi to a shelter after seeing her.

Jiayi... Jiayi...? Let Jiayi... keep smiling... just like... you did for me...

Ling...

Remembering my promise to Huiling, I sighed deeply, wiped away my tears, and turned on the light (I hadn't turned on the fluorescent light for four years). The sudden brightness took a while for my eyes to adjust.

Through the crack in the door, I could vaguely see a small figure sitting in front of it.

Just as I was about to open the door, I suddenly saw a disheveled man with lifeless eyes in the mirror hanging on the door.

Touching my hair, I could hardly believe that this was me.

Looking back at the room, there were empty bottles, instant noodle bowls, and empty cans everywhere, and a foul stench emanated from it.

Oh well… I guess I'll just have to continue living like this after I settle Jiayi down…

With this thought in mind, I reluctantly and slowly opened the door.

The little girl outside had a fair face and fair skin, which looked even more translucent under the fluorescent light above, making me stare at her for a while.

However, what really piqued my interest and made me stop and even squint to examine her closely was her little face.

That round, oval face, those big eyes, those long, flowing, slightly brown hair, that light green dress… she looked exactly like a shrunken version of Huiling…

Mom and Dad…did they do this on purpose? Thinking back, a lump formed in my throat, but my pride forced me back my tears.

Jiayi seemed terrified by my appearance. She

just stood there blankly at the door, clutching her bear-shaped plush toy, her eyes fixed on me.

Only then did I realize how awful I looked.

"Jiayi…?" I called softly.

I had intended to use a cold tone, to prevent her from feeling anything for me, making it easier to send her to the shelter and get rid of this trouble; but instead, those two simple words came out so tenderly that even I felt nauseous, not even as tender as when I spoke to Huiling.

"Dad…Dad…?" Jia Yi tentatively called out, her voice filled with undisguised fear, which brought back the composure I had intended.

However, I knew that taking Jia Yi to the shelter like this might lead to her being arrested as a child abductor, causing even more trouble. "

Go inside and sit down for a bit. Daddy will take you somewhere later."

After saying this, I finally regained my usual indifference.

"Oh...oh..."

Jia Yi was actually quite obedient and compliant.

After responding, she stepped into the room, but frowned. "

Daddy...stinky..."

Jia Yi seemed unable to bear the stench, putting down her teddy bear, pinching her nose, and waving her other hand in front of her face.

This reaction was exactly what I expected, so I simply went into the bathroom, picked up my long-unused razor, and began to groom my neglected face. "

Oh, it's okay, we're leaving soon anyway."

I said coldly, splashing water on my face.

"Dad...where are we going?" Jia Yi's voice came from the living room, making me think to myself: Why is this little brat asking so many questions? "To a place where lots of kids will play with you."

I regretted saying that

as soon as I finished speaking. The razor hadn't been used in so long that the blade had become dull, and I accidentally cut myself. It looked like I'd bled quite a bit.

I frowned, picked up the replacement blades, but found they were almost rusted too. I could only grit my teeth and continue using the dull razor.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of plastic bags being put in the living room. I wondered what the little brat was doing.

Although my room was full of trash, it wasn't to the point where I couldn't find a place to sit.

Oh well...there wasn't anything important anyway. The only important thing was Hui Ling's photo on the computer.

After shaving, quite a while had passed, and I was covered in cuts and scrapes from the razor blade, with several drops of blood even trickling down my chin.

But no matter how painful it was, nothing was more painful than the wound in my heart that reopened when I lost Huiling, so I simply ignored it and let it drip.

Next… was dealing with my hair.

Just as I was about to turn on the shower, Jiayi suddenly appeared from the bathroom doorway, struggling to drag a large bag towards the entrance, seemingly playing some game.

She was sweating profusely, her clothes half-soaked.

Was it necessary…? Come to think of it… do I even have such a large bag in my room? I thought to myself as I rinsed my hair.

But I soon realized I had become too lazy to think, forgetting many common sense things, even showing signs of early-onset dementia.

Ugh… the water really hurts the wound.

Ah! Dad, why is it so red? This little brat… what stupid question is she asking

now? My eyes are so watery I can't open them, and I have no idea what Jiayi is doing.

Dad is washing his hair, you go play first, we'll talk later.

Dad… can I help? …Sure.

...Whatever.

Because some water mixed with blood got into my eyes, the pain from the wound on my face and the pain in my eyes made it impossible for me to open them.

To be honest, it would be difficult for me to finish washing my hair, but if this little one wanted to help, I figured I might as well let her try.

Anyway, no matter how bad it got, it wouldn't affect my plans.

A pair of soft, warm little hands touched the lower edge of my face, accidentally brushing against my wound, making me frown. However, she seemed to realize this and quickly moved away,

carefully pressing down on the uninjured part of my chin.

I knew this was because she wasn't tall enough, and it would be very difficult for her to reach my head, so I simply sat down so she could wash it properly. "

Daddy...you're so hurt...does it hurt?" This question made me sneer.

Is there any pain more painful than the pain in my heart? Although Huiling is gone, I don't blame her; but Huiling died in childbirth because of complications, that's an unchangeable fact. "

It's okay, hurry up and wash."

"Oh...okay..."

She gently washed my greasy hair, hair that even I found sticky and repulsive, yet she showed no sign of resistance. It reminded me of when Huiling and I used to shower together, and she would always wash my hair in the same way.

Could this habit be hereditary? Gradually, her hand touched my cheek; her soft, warm hand stirred something within me. I couldn't help but gently grasp her hand, mistaking it for Huiling's, and quietly kissed it.

Jiayi, though startled by my action, didn't stop rinsing.

Soon after, my hair was almost washed, and I found a towel to dry my face before opening my eyes.

Seeing Jiayi staring at me with wide eyes, as if she'd seen something strange, made me feel uncomfortable. I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Does your father look strange?" Jiayi quickly looked away, as if a child caught doing something wrong, and replied in a barely audible voice, "No… it's just that Daddy has so many wounds on his face…" "

Daddy, do you want to put some medicine on?" "Wait a minute."

The wounds from the razor blade had been washed away by the water, but they started bleeding again after a short while. I also felt this wasn't right.

However, I couldn't help but look at Jiayi again.

This little rascal really is a little rascal! She's already drenched in sweat, and she even manages to get soaked while washing my hair. Doesn't she even know how to wash her own hair? However, although she was only eight years old and still a little rascal, I could tell from her clothes, which clung to her body from being soaked, that her breasts and waist were already beginning to take shape. Though still in their budding stages, it was clear that when she grew up, she would surpass even her mother in beauty.

I shook my head. I didn't even understand why these thoughts came to me, let alone how meaningless they were.

Back in my room, I looked at it in surprise.

The table, which had been piled high with instant noodles and wine glasses, was now spotless, the trash on the floor had been cleared away, and even the clock on the wall was sparkling clean.

The large bag of things piled up by the door must have been my spoils from earlier, and the odor had been greatly reduced.

"Um… Dad… can I take a shower before going out?" "Whatever."

I said casually, sitting down where I had been sitting and hastily bandaging my wound.

After bandaging it, I turned on the TV out of boredom, only to find that channel four had been cut off long ago due to unpaid bills, so I had to turn it off.

At that moment, I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

When I turned my gaze to the computer, hoping to pass the time by looking at the photos, I was shocked to find that Huiling's picture was gone! I searched high and low for a long time but couldn't find it! "Jiayi! Where did you take Mom's picture from the computer?!" I impulsively slammed open the bathroom door, startling Jiayi.

Although only eight years old, she was very aware of the differences between boys and girls, quickly covering herself and turning around, looking at me in surprise.

But at that moment, I didn't notice this at all, only glaring angrily at my daughter whom I had never met.

That was… Mom's picture? I… I put it on the right wall.

Hearing this, I turned around and indeed saw Huiling's picture quietly pasted on the wall, smiling at me, only because Jiayi wasn't tall enough, it was pasted a little low.

I had unintentionally overlooked it.

"Um, Dad… could you… please leave?" Only then did I realize my lapse in composure, but even after understanding my embarrassment, I couldn't bring myself to admit it: "What, is it shameful that Dad saw your body?" "Yes...no...but..."

Jia Yi stammered, but I interrupted her before she could finish. "

What's there to be ashamed of? Didn't Grandpa and Grandma teach you to close the door when you take a bath?" My tone grew harsher, but I immediately regretted it; this wasn't a good example. "

But...the bathroom door...is broken."

I looked at the lock, and sure enough, due to prolonged dampness, even the lock was quite rusted.

My heavy slap had knocked the lock off.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. Faced with this eight-year-old brat, I, a man over thirty, was rendered speechless, only able to utter an "oh" and awkwardly leave the bathroom.

However, not long after I left, a scream suddenly rang out, and Jia Yi, completely naked, rushed out and threw herself into my arms.

I frowned, trying to push her away, but I couldn't; her strength was incredible.

"What are you doing? What's going on?! Daddy... there's... a cockroach!" Damn! A cockroach can scare you like this? How old are you? I watched a dark thing fly out of the bathroom and stick to the wall, and Jia Yi's screams grew louder and louder, becoming incredibly jarring to me.

I angrily shoved her away and grabbed the dictionary from the table, smashing it heavily onto the cockroach. "

It's dead, okay?" I wiped the stain on the wall with toilet paper and threw it into the trash can.

Turning around, I found Jia Yi sitting on the floor, crying incessantly, seemingly forgetting she wasn't dressed.

Looking at her developing body, her slightly protruding breasts, her still hairless pubic area, a long-accumulated desire slowly overflowed, and a certain part of me underwent a strange change.

Damn it, that's my daughter, what am I thinking? I slapped myself hard. "

Daddy, why... are you always so mean to me... Waaah..."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. I was about to turn away and let her continue crying

when, to my dismay, I met Huiling's gentle gaze. My mind went blank.

What...what did I do? Did I make Jiayi cry? ...Cry...? Just then, Huiling's weak words flashed through my mind again. "

Make Jiayi...keep smiling...just like...you do to me..."

────.

──I'm fucking damned! What have I done?! Didn't I promise Huiling? Why am I still treating Jiayi like a burden? Thinking this, I slapped myself twice more, so hard that I felt dizzy and my cheeks burned.

Finally realizing my mistake, I found my own tears starting to fall again. I gently hugged the still-crying Jiayi, letting her tears soak my dirty clothes, and my tears dripped onto her shoulder and still-wet hair.

Jiayi...Daddy is sorry...I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I gently stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.

I didn't stop the tears from falling, and at the same time, I understood why I had the motivation to keep going.

Because all of this was to fulfill Huiling's wish.

"Daddy, Daddy... Waaah..."

Jiayi continued to cry, but she gripped my clothes tighter and tighter.

Her little hands were so strong, so full of life, so hopeful.

This is my past with my daughter, although I still can't forget the pain of Huiling's death.

But my daughter and I have been able to forget the estrangement we've had for eight years and accept each other.

Jiayi is truly perfect at handling housework; perhaps it's because her parents' parenting style is so good.

She always cleans up the mess I make without complaint and greets me when I come home with the warmest, most affectionate smile.

Although she's only eight years old, she's very sensible; I can't pick her up from school because I'm back at work, but she understands and doesn't blame me, always filling me with a different kind of happiness.

Even so, I still couldn't smile when I was with Jia Yi; whenever I saw her tender face, I couldn't help but think of the past.

"Dad, why aren't you smiling?" Jiayi has grown up and is starting to prepare for her middle school entrance exams.

She's very proactive and mature, always worried that I might be distracted by her studies.

But now, as she rummages through her schoolbag, she looks at me and asks. "

Me? ...I am smiling, look."

I put down my work, looked away from the screen, and tried to force a smile for her, but it was a very guilty smile, and it must have looked terrible. "

Dad's lying, Dad's not really smiling."

Jiayi pouted, looking incredibly cute, which gave me an urge to pick her up and kiss her all over.

But after what happened before, I've been trying hard to suppress that wicked desire, not daring to do anything out of line. "

Hehe... I can't help it, Dad has a lot on his plate, so he's often very tired..."

Before I could finish my carefully crafted lie, Jiayi innocently and unvarnishedly exposed it. "

Dad, are you thinking about Mom? Grandma said you really, really love Mom."

"Jiayi sat beside me and said.

Hmm...yes."

I stroked her head, waves of emotion welling up in my eyes.

But I couldn't easily show my vulnerable side in front of my child. "

Daddy, if you want to cry, you can cry in Jiayi's arms! Just like when I was bullied by my classmates last time ,

" Jiayi said.

Hearing these words, a warm feeling washed over me again...
Character ii [Elevation]
After Jiayi entered fifth grade, her classmates all knew that her mother had passed away, and they used this as a topic to bully her.

However, she didn't tell me about her sadness; she simply bore the immense grief in her small body.

Until one day, I had a rare day off and wanted to surprise her by picking her up from school, but unfortunately, I happened to see those little devils surrounding Jiayi, hurling insults at her with vile language.

I was furious at the time, and I yelled at those kids, which escalated the situation, even getting the school involved.

The other parents initially wanted to sue me on trumped-up charges, but I countered by accusing them of public insult and assault, warning them of legally mandated offenses, which gradually calmed things down.

However, Jia Yi's heart was already wounded, making me feel incredibly guilty. All I could say to her was, "Jia Yi, if you want to cry, you can cry in Daddy's arms. Daddy will protect you."

Hearing those words now, in different situations and with the roles reversed, always feels a little strange.

But Jia Yi, without considering my perspective, pulled my head onto her shoulder without my consent.

Although he's quite tall for his age, he still only reaches my chest. He forced my head down, making my neck a little sore, but leaning on his shoulder, the warmth, the affection, and the scent that was exactly the same as Huiling's, gave me a sense of peace.

My eyes welled up with tears instantly, and I didn't try to stop them.

I could only hide my face by hugging Jiayi tightly and pressing my cheek against his…

"Daddy, can you tell me about Mommy?" Jiayi asked, gently patting my back with her little hand.

"Hmm… your mommy is very gentle… I've never argued with her since we got together, and your mommy… (omitted)."

If this continued, it would be a long story.

I talked a lot about our past, and Jiayi didn't ask any questions or interrupt, just listened quietly…

Sharing my love's stories with the one I love is truly wonderful… especially when we both love her at the same time.

Actually, the moment Dad saw you, I felt you really looked like your mom. Dad was afraid of hurting you, so I initially planned to send you away.

I talked about Huiling and me for a long time… Finally, I decided to bravely admit my initial mistake. I wiped away my tears, waiting for my daughter's heartbroken condemnation.

However, I didn't expect Jiayi to be so mature. Faced with my words, she simply smiled, shook her head, and kissed me on the cheek: "I won't blame Dad, I love Dad the most."

At the time, I didn't realize how dangerous Jiayi's words were; I just smiled wryly and pinched her cheek.

Time flies. Jiayi proved that her grades were truly excellent; she was admitted to one of the top junior high schools in Kaohsiung. She

also gradually became more tactful in her relationships with classmates, and her mature and steady attitude earned her the respect of many children, even surprising her homeroom teacher.

Once, her teacher invited parents to a teaching observation event and praised Jiayi highly, which also brought me a lot of glory.

However, in terms of family life, I cannot be a role model for every parent. After all, Jia Yi's mindset is slightly skewed due to the absence of a

mother. Because of the lack of maternal love, she doesn't understand what it means to have a mother's reaction. Moreover, most of the parents who came to observe the teaching were mothers, and I, being the only exception, felt a bit out of place. After the observation, there were the usual one-on-one talks, which is the most effective way to understand the students' family situations; this was expected, and I had cleared my entire day for it. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Liu?" "Hello, as you probably already know, I am Jia Yi's homeroom teacher—Lin Huacen." The middle-aged woman, who looked over 40, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and gently placed her other hand on Jia Yi's shoulder, speaking kindly. " Hello, please don't be so formal, just use a normal form of address. I'll need your help taking care of Jia Yi for the next three years." I extended my friendly right hand in return. After shaking hands with me, Ms. Lin dismissed Jiayi outside the office and then said directly to me, "Mr. Liu, since that's the case, I won't bother with formalities." We're both scholars, so I got straight to the point; although Jiayi has just started school, her attitude towards learning has surprised me greatly, and her thoughtfulness and attentiveness reveal her parents' effective educational approach—even my own child is inferior. Hearing this, my nose naturally perked up again, even though my parents are the ones who truly shaped her personality. Just as I was about to thank her, the teacher added, "However, regarding the essay from last term: 'My Future Career,' do you know what that child wrote?" I apologize for this, as I've been too busy with work, and that child rarely has the opportunity to mention school to me at home. I gave a embarrassed, wry smile. " Hmm… I heard your family situation is somewhat unique, so strictly speaking, it's not your fault; however, Mr. Liu, as a mentor, I have an obligation to tell you that the child's thoughts are a bit unusual." Ms. Lin, there's no need to beat around the bush. I won't blame Jiayi for her performance at school. Upon hearing this, Ms. Lin walked to her seat, took out a stack of densely written manuscript paper from her drawer, and gently placed it in front of me.

I glanced at the title, and a smile crept into my heart: So this little rascal's heart isn't fully mature yet.

Teacher Lin, isn't every girl's dream to be a happy bride? I don't think Jiayi is wrong in writing that.

But the problem isn't there; please look at the second page.

Seemingly remembering the issue, Teacher Lin took off her glasses and rubbed her nose.

My apprehension made me frown, and I carefully pulled out the second page.

I saw Teacher Lin meticulously underlining key paragraphs in red, but I was deeply moved after reading that underlined text. "

My dream is to marry someone like my father, preferably my father himself."

My eyes swept across the page and read the second paragraph.

"My father's deep affection for my mother is something I've felt since I was very young.

I've heard I look a lot like my mother, and they hope I can give birth to a child for my father, to fill the void of happiness he's lost in my mother's place.

My father is the best to me.

Although he's often very busy with work, I don't feel sad because I know he loves me too; in his heart, besides my mother, there's only me."

As I read on, these shocking words filled me with a sense of awe, and before I knew it, I had finished two articles.

However, what shocked me even more was the content of the last one. "

As I grow older, is my body becoming more and more like my mother's? I long to give my body to my father someday, hoping he will be happy."

"Mr. Liu, do you know what the problem is?" This…this can't just be a child's wild imagination, can it? I casually replied.

However, as these articles revealed their thoughts, I gradually recalled Jia Yi's recent strange behavior.

Indeed, in terms of father and daughter, Jia Yi's recent behavior seemed a bit inappropriate; normal children know in elementary school that they shouldn't show their bodies to others casually, but Jia Yi seemed to be doing it intentionally, often making seductive gestures that only mature women would do in front of me, forcing me to suppress my growing desires by constantly working.

I wish it were the same.

In short, this concerns a child's thoughts, and I hope you will pay more attention.

Teacher Lin tidied up the stack of essays and put them back in her drawer.

But at that moment, for some reason, I suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

"Ms. Lin, I hope you can keep this a secret. I don't want Jiayi to be treated differently because of it."

I said seriously.

I know, I promise I won't make Jiayi sad.

To be honest, I feel that Ms. Lin has the kind of personality that makes people feel at ease; if she says something, she will definitely do it. "

Dad, what did the teacher say to you?" Stepping outside, I saw Jiayi sitting bored on a low chair, kicking her feet.

I patted her head and forced a smile, saying, "Nothing, the teacher said you're very good and wants me to spend more time with you.

So Dad has decided to take you to the beach this Saturday, okay?" "Wow, really? Dad is the best!" It seems this trick worked as expected; Jiayi smiled, and my uneasy thoughts were dispelled.

However, this was the beginning of a real nightmare.
Character iii [Wish]
The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye. I took two days off from work, drove my car, and took Jiayi, some toiletries, and other necessities to Eluanbi.

This was a relatively remote beach. Because it was far from the crowds, there was much less trash than in bustling areas, allowing Jia Yi to freely walk on the fine sand without worrying about getting hurt.

At first, Jia Yi was hesitant to come out after changing into her swimsuit at the guesthouse, and I practically dragged her out at sunset; I didn't want her to miss the sunset.

But when I saw Jia Yi's outfit, I was stunned for a moment.

It turned out she had secretly gone out with her friends and bought a swimsuit with her allowance—a two-piece swimsuit with a cute little skirt. It made her look like a little princess, which made me jokingly whistle, and Jia Yi blushed with embarrassment.

Looking at the rising tide, I realized it was quite dangerous to swim now, so I laid out a rubber mat and leaned against Jia Yi, watching the orange-red sun. "

Dad still isn't smiling,"

Jia Yi said, pouting at me.

Although she's grown up and lost some of her cuteness, I still found her expression quite beautiful and charming in the sunlight. "

I'm not."

"Dad's very happy to be out with Jiayi."

Although I said that, my heart was still mostly occupied by Huiling.

That's just my personality; memories, whether beautiful or sad, are hard to forget, so I can only hide them like this. "

Really?" "Well, Dad, um… I've always had a wish."

Jiayi suddenly took my hand and said.

"What wish? What do you want to buy? Dad can grant you anything."

I looked at Jiayi, waiting for her next words.

But Jiayi just looked at me and shook her head, not saying another word, her bright eyes sparkling.

Suddenly, I remembered the article Jiayi had written a few days ago, and a sense of crisis rose within me, and I began to deeply regret what I had just said.

But just then, a voice abruptly cut in between us. "

Hey, hey, an old cow eating young grass? This old man and his young lover are being so lovey-dovey here, it's uncomfortable to watch!" I turned around and saw three stylishly dressed young people standing behind me, about seventeen or eighteen years old, their flirtatious smiles making me frown.

"Excuse me, did I disturb you?" I said casually.

The sudden appearance of the three startled Jia Yi, who quickly hid behind me.

The leader of the three young men walked towards me, looked at Jia Yi, and said, "Hey pretty girl, what's so great about being with this old man? Come out with us! I'll take you to lots of fun places."

Aren't these three's lines a bit too cliché...? Besides, I'm only in my early thirties. Many of my younger colleagues at work call me "Young Master" in private. Is it really necessary to call me "Old Man"? I looked at the three delinquents. They didn't seem to work out regularly; they were all skinny as skewers. I was even half a head taller than the tallest one of them when I stood up, so they posed no threat to me. "

You old codger, what are you thinking?" the young man on the right said menacingly, seemingly believing they had the upper hand because of their numbers. "

I'm just seeing if you're good enough for my daughter.

But just for that one sentence, I've already rejected you."

I said sarcastically, looking at him.

"So she's your daughter? How old is she?" the young man leading the group asked. "

She's not even 15 yet."

I quietly pulled Jiayi back two steps, creating some distance between us and them.

"Damn, she's only 14? She's already as pretty as a model!" the young man on the right said, his rude comment making me frown again. "

Jiayi, would you want to go with these lousy people?" Although I already knew the answer, I still asked deliberately.

"No… I want to be with Dad."

Jiayi was stunned by the scene and could only timidly give a satisfactory answer.

"Damn it, old man, are you looking for death? Saying I'm lousy?" the young man cursed.

I ignored him and started picking up the plastic mat and the things on the ground.

"Fuck you, ignoring me!" Unexpectedly, at that moment, the young man punched me in the face without saying a word. I took the punch, grunted, and immediately grabbed his arm.

"Dad!" Jiayi cried out worriedly.

However, I had already experienced this kind of pain when I was in the army.

That young man wasn't even as strong as my sergeant back then; I was beaten up by my sergeant major until I was discharged.

I gripped his hand tightly, twisted it behind his back, and the young man cried out in pain.

"Damn it! Let go! You fucking let go—!" This was just a warning; if it continued, don't blame me for being impolite.

I touched my punched face with my other hand, released his hand, and said.

"Damn it, kill this old bastard!" I don't know whose order it was, but the three men immediately swarmed me, attacking me with chaotic punches and kicks.

However, what strength could those three skinny men possibly have? In my eyes, they were nothing more than slow-motion replays.

I dodged one of their punches, leaned my shoulder against him, and punched him hard in the stomach. He was already squatting on the ground, coughing violently. Another one tried to kick me in the waist from behind, but I grabbed his leg, lifted him up, and threw him aside. The last one, seeing that things were not going well, uttered a few harsh words and fled.

I looked at the mess on the ground, littered with the remnants of the fight, and reluctantly gathered up the undamaged items. I led the still-frightened Jiayi towards the guesthouse. It took her a while to recover, and she clung tightly to my back, saying, "Daddy, that was...so scary..." "

Daddy chased them away, didn't he? What are you still afraid of?" I gently stroked her hand.

Since graduating from elementary school, Jiayi's figure had undergone a remarkable transformation. Although she had only recently entered junior high, her figure was already curvaceous. Her soft breasts pressed against my back, sending a shiver down my spine, but I quickly suppressed it with reason.

Seeing how frightened Jiayi was, but not wanting to just stand there waiting for those three to return with their men, I carried her back to my car... "

Go take a shower first, then call me when you're done."

I turned on the TV and lay on the sofa, thinking about how to make Jiayi happy tomorrow.

So, being in a place with too few people isn't always a good idea? Fewer people might offer more freedom, but it also creates opportunities for those with malicious intent.

"I'll take Jiayi to a more lively place tomorrow..."

I thought, taking a sip of the tea I'd brewed from a tea bag. But then the bathroom door opened, and I turned around, immediately spitting out the tea.

Jiayi was standing naked in front of me! She made no attempt to hide herself, standing before me blushing and saying shyly, "Daddy... can I shower with you?" Looking at her almost flawless body, her breasts the size of small bowls, her pink nipples, her slender waist, and her mysterious private parts, I dropped the cup in surprise, wetting a large area of the carpet.

At that moment, I remembered Jiayi's writing: "I really want to give my body to Daddy someday, hoping he'll be happy."

A line seemed to be drawn in my mind, swaying beneath my feet, and I was struggling with whether or not to cross it.

Suddenly, I felt a dryness in my throat, making me swallow hard. This action made Jia Yi's face turn as red as an apple, but she still resisted the urge to cover herself, letting my gaze roam over her body.

*Cough!* I coughed heavily, shook my head, and abruptly shifted my attention back to the television, forcing a serious expression as I said, "Jia Yi, didn't Daddy tell you before that you shouldn't show your body to just anyone? You're so old, how come you still don't understand? Daddy, could you please turn your head?" Jia Yi's voice sounded almost tearful at this moment.

I hesitated, glancing at the ceiling.

I couldn't help but wonder if my mind hadn't tormented me enough, before finally shifting my gaze back to Jia Yi's face, trying my best to avoid looking at her body. "

Jia Yi…isn't she pretty?" she asked. I didn't know how to answer this question, but I knew there was only one answer she wanted to hear. "

…Pretty."

"Then why doesn't Daddy want to look at Jia Yi?" As she asked this question, tears streamed down her face.

It's not that I don't want to see, it's that I can't see! My heart screamed repeatedly.

Jiayi, go back to the bathroom.

We're father and daughter, this is impossible.

At this point, it would be too pretentious for me to try to cover it up, so I had to use the fatherly authority I'd never used before to command her.

But this time, Jiayi unexpectedly didn't listen to me. She just stood there, wiping away her tears. "

Dad... Jiayi really loves you so much... Why don't you understand?" To be honest, I'd never seen Jiayi like this before. I didn't know what to do when this happened.

In the past, whenever Jiayi cried, I would hold her and comfort her until she smiled brightly; but now I couldn't do that. "

Jiayi, listen to me, at least go wrap yourself in a towel before you come out, otherwise you'll catch a cold."

The room is air-conditioned, and Jiayi is naked with water droplets on her body. To be honest, I'm very worried about her health.

This time she didn't disobey. After wiping away her tears, she pulled a pure white bath towel from the bathroom and wrapped it around herself, but I felt that this wasn't right either.

That barely concealed appearance was the perfect example of inducing a crime. "

Dad, do you remember you told me you wouldn't go back on your word?" "Yes, I would never lie to Jiayi.

" As soon as those words left my mouth, I knew I was doomed, but it was impossible to take them back.

Because I had just promised something very serious at the beach.

I never thought that my casual promise would give my daughter the opportunity to blackmail me.

"Dad... Jiayi has also read a lot of books about that kind of thing, and when Dad isn't around, I've used Dad's computer to go online... I've learned a little bit about that kind of thing."

Jiayi said.

Hearing this, I vigorously rubbed my temples.

How could I have made such a mistake? I had forgotten that boys and girls Jiayi's age are particularly interested in sex. Although Jiayi didn't grow up in a complete family, it's perfectly normal for her to have such desires.

And I actually have this opportunity, to let her understand this kind of thing before I've even corrected her views? "Dad... Jia Yi's first time, I want to give it to you."

Jia Yi said, slowly leaning her body against me. Just as her buttocks landed on my lap, the line in my mind seemed to snap in two.

I picked up Jiayi and gently placed her on the bed, carefully kissing her ears and neck.

Jiayi's nervousness made her breathy breaths the perfect aphrodisiac in my ear.

She automatically untied her towel, revealing her pure, flawless body to me once more.

Jiayi…you really won't regret it? Although my desire ultimately overcame my reason, I still wanted to confirm it again.

Jiayi closed her eyes and nodded slightly. She pressed her lips to mine, and we exchanged fluids, our tongues swirling within each other's mouths.

Although Jiayi lacked oral skills and was somewhat clumsy, her efforts to respond were fully expressed.

As our lips parted, I clearly saw the glistening ripple between us, and I gradually lowered my lips, beginning my assault on Jiayi's breasts.

When my tongue touched her nipple, Jia Yi's body trembled slightly. My other hand massaged her other breast, careful not to hurt her with too much force.

Jia Yi's skin began to turn a rosy pink as I gently licked her.

I continued my assault on her lower body, all the way to her most intimate area; it was already overflowing with moisture.

I gently parted her still-parting petals, greedily sucking her virgin-scented juices, and began licking her still-pink labia.

Just as I teased her pink bud, Jia Yi suddenly couldn't help but let out a moan, giving me even more reason to please her.

However, not long after, her back arched and spasmed, her hands frantically clawing at the sheets, her legs tightly clamping my head. A warm current gushed from her private parts, spraying onto my face. Jia Yi experienced her first ever peak of pleasure.

The climax lasted quite a while before subsiding. Afterwards, she was panting heavily, and I regained a sliver of my rationality.

"Jiayi... I think... it's better if we don't do this.

After all, you're only 14 years old..."

I looked up and said, but I found my voice trembling, completely lacking strength; I still couldn't bring myself to do something so unacceptable. "

No, Dad... I've decided, please continue."

Jiayi was panting, but her tone was the opposite of mine, so resolute.

I sighed and slowly took off my clothes, observing Jiayi's reaction.

When she saw my naked body, she did flinch a little; but when I started to unbuckle my belt, Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then used her trembling little hands to help me loosen my pants.

This initiative surprised me. It seemed Jiayi was also afraid her resolve would waver, so she was a little impatient. Actually, her will wasn't as firm as I had imagined, so when she saw the shape of my last remaining line of defense, the hidden part, her face turned a little pale.

"Jiayi, if you're scared, close your eyes and let Daddy do it."

I said as I folded my trousers and placed them at the foot of the bed.

Jiayi closed her eyes upon hearing this. As I took off my underwear and prepared to attack, my remaining rationality still held onto my last shred of consciousness: "Jiayi... are you really not going to reconsider?" "Hmm..."

Jiayi nodded, her eyes tightly closed.

This answer left me with almost no rationality. I lifted my penis and rubbed the glans against her vulva.

Soon, her secret place, which was about to dry up again, became flooded again after my touch. "

It will hurt a little at first... bear with it."

I said.

Jiayi nodded again, and at the same time, I slightly pushed the end of my penis into her narrow passage.

"Ugh..."

Jiayi's body trembled. She bit her lower lip, seemingly enduring the sensation of the foreign object entering.

I thought to myself: a short pain is better than a long one, so I pushed my penis in a little further; soon, the head of my penis met the barrier.

But I didn't stop there. Suddenly, I thrust my hips forward, breaking through the barrier.

At the same time, Jia Yi screamed, tears streaming from her eyes, which made me feel a little sorry for her. Jia

Yi... is it painful? I didn't continue thrusting, but just let my penis stay quietly inside, enjoying Jia Yi's tightness, while also giving her time to get used to this feeling. " Daddy... I'm finally your woman, Jia Yi is so happy..." I had been looking at her genitals, but when I heard this, I looked up. Unexpectedly, Jia Yi opened her eyes and looked carefully at our point of contact. There was a trickle of blood flowing down, staining a small patch of the sheet. However, despite the pain and the discharge, she wore a joyful smile. I suddenly couldn't resist the urge, and I subtly thrust my hips forward, reaching the deepest part of Jia Yi. Jia Yi let out a soft moan from the impact, instantly igniting my most primal desire. " Jia Yi... relax," I said, simultaneously thrusting my penis in and out of her. Although Jia Yi was mentally prepared, the constant thrusting caused her to moan incessantly. My previous foreplay had prepared her body sufficiently, making the process very smooth, gradually transforming Jia Yi's pain into pleasure. "Ah, ah... Daddy, Daddy... um... ah..." Jia Yi continued to moan, driving my movements to become increasingly intense. I naturally lifted her up and kissed her lips; our lower bodies joined together, our tongues swirling together, the mutual impact sending Jia Yi to another peak. However, I did not stop there, continuing the thrusting motion. Jia Yi's lower body gushed fluid like a fountain, soaking a large area of the bed sheet. Jia Yi's eyes rolled back as I accelerated, reaching several orgasms. "Daddy, Daddy... Jia Yi, Jia Yi is almost there, almost there!" Suddenly, Jia Yi clamped her legs around my waist, and at the same time, I felt a surge of desire rising from my lower abdomen to my penis. I knew I was about to ejaculate and hurriedly tried to separate us, but Jia Yi wouldn't let me go, holding me tightly. At the same time, another warm current gushed from her vulva, impacting my glans. "Roar..." Overwhelmed by this impact, I could no longer hold back. With a deep roar, my glans pressed against her vulva, and I began to ejaculate, shooting all of it into my daughter's body. This ejaculation lasted quite a while; the accumulation of fourteen years couldn't even contain Jia Yi's small uterus. My semen began to flow back out along the opening between our bodies, soaking a large area of the bed sheet again. Afterwards, we hugged each other, panting. Jia Yi's expression was full of happiness; her body seemed to still be lingering in the afterglow, still twitching. However, I frowned, looking at the semen continuously flowing from her lower body, and said with some worry, "Jia Yi, if you get pregnant..." I was only halfway through my sentence when Jia Yi interrupted me.

Dad... Jiayi really, really wants to have a child for you... but I'm also so scared, wondering if it will affect your life.

So I've already learned online how to calculate when it's safe.

Dad, you can rest assured...

But... sometimes it's not accurate.

After calming myself down, I turned around and grabbed a few tissues from the bedside table, carefully cleaning up the mess.

It's okay... Dad.

Jiayi really loves you the most...

Suddenly she lifted my head and gave me a deep kiss on the lips.

This time I didn't dodge, and Jiayi's feelings for me were all conveyed through her actions, making me feel a sense of happiness...

After that? Actually, nothing much happened.

Since I'd already ejaculated inside her once, I simply made love with Jiayi several more times until dawn.

The guesthouse owner probably guessed what we'd done and saw us off with ambiguous glances.

Perhaps heaven understood our awkwardness.

That intimacy didn't result in a new life between us, and it made me worry for over two months for nothing.

Aside from the fact that my relationship with Jiayi was truly closer than that of a father and daughter, it didn't affect our lives much.

However, since that incident, I haven't dared to gaze at Jiayi for too long in front of others, fearing that the ambiguity would arouse suspicion.

After hearing my explanation, Jiayi understood the seriousness of the matter, but she never regretted it. Even so, she cooperated with me, never revealing it to outsiders. Her attitude towards me in front of Teacher Lin changed to that of a normal child towards their father, earning Teacher Lin's admiration for my method of persuading the child.

However, once home, Jiayi would still cling to me.

Gradually, time flew by, and Jiayi entered high school.

She gradually matured from a child into a normal young woman. Even though her way of treating me remained the same, a more mature aura began to emanate from her.

The shadow Huiling left in my heart had mostly faded, leaving behind her satisfied smile and Jiayi's happy smile.

Although I haven't truly laughed freely and happily yet, Jia Yi understands; she's understood since she was little.

"Dad, welcome home." Jia Yi rushed over and kissed me on the cheek when she saw me return.

I patted her head in response.

"Hmm… did you have a good day?" Sensing that Jia Yi had something to say, I casually tossed my briefcase onto the sofa and asked.

Having escaped the shadow of Hui Ling's passing, and with Jia Yi's life hardly requiring my attention, my work has been smooth sailing, and I've been working far less overtime than before.

"Dad, look."
This was found in my drawer today.

Jia Yi suddenly pulled a pink letter from behind her back, with a small heart attached and a faint fragrance. "

What's this?" It looks like a love letter.

I took the letter and examined it closely; although it had already been opened, I still didn't dare read it without Jia Yi's permission.

Through the light, I could vaguely see the neat handwriting on the letter.

It's a love letter! "A boy from another class gave it to me,"

Jia Yi said boastfully.

Suddenly, a pang of jealousy rose in my heart, making me frown slightly; however, I knew very well that receiving love letters at Jia Yi's age was perfectly normal, and since Jia Yi entered her third year of junior high school, her figure and appearance had surpassed that of ordinary little girls, and even talent scouts had tried to recruit her, which surprised even me.

Therefore, I quickly pretended to be nonchalant, but Jia Yi caught me frowning for a moment.

"Dad... are you jealous?" she said with a mischievous smile.

"No."

I casually put the letter on the table and turned on the TV. "

Dad, you're lying again! You're really bad at lying!" Jia Yi sat down beside me, wrapped her arms around my neck, and said affectionately. "

Really, no."

I simply shifted my attention to the latest news. "

Dad, Jia Yi already knows that you always pretend to watch TV when you're unhappy.

...Your observation skills are too sharp!" "Well, I guess I'm just jealous."

I coldly turned off the TV and turned my head to the side.

"Dad...don't do this!" She was sitting on my lap, facing me, and suddenly kissed my lips.

This kind of thing had happened frequently at home, so I was already used to it. I hugged Jia Yi and kissed her passionately.

After a long while, I knew that if this continued, my wicked desires would be aroused again. In order not to make a mistake again, I gently separated us. "

Dad, don't worry.

I won't agree to that boy. I only want to be Dad's little woman for the rest of my life."

Jia Yi said in a seductive tone in my ear; I both loved and hated this little vixen, but I couldn't do anything about it. I could only gently pinch her pink cheek in response.

At that time, I even believed that our relationship was actually the same as before, completely unchanged; almost nothing could stop our relationship from ending.

But I overlooked one thing—she was just a little girl experiencing her first love.

I am really an unfortunate man.

I still vividly remember, fourteen years ago, my beautiful wife, after giving birth to Jia Yi, her pale face on the sickbed.

"Mingxiang... I think I'm not going to make it..."

she said weakly, holding her newborn daughter Jiayi, still bleeding.

Beside her, I was already crying uselessly, clutching my wife's hand tightly, not caring whether the tears or snot streaming down my face; in short, it was a complete mess. "

You won't, you won't! Didn't you promise to take Jiayi and me to Zhiben, to let him soak in your favorite hot springs with you?!" "I'm sorry... Mingxiang, it seems I... can't keep that promise..."

she said with difficulty, her eyelids drooping.

I took a deep breath, grabbed the nurse who had been standing behind me for a while, and yelled: "You must have a way to save her, you must!! Think of a way, please!" The nurse was stunned by my impulsiveness and helplessly called to the doctor standing nearby.

However, the doctor didn't stop me, but simply placed his hand on my shoulder and said: "Mr. Liu... I understand your pain, please calm down..."

Calm down? How the hell are you telling me to calm down?! I yelled angrily, shoving the nurse aside and running back to the bedside: "Ling, don't sleep! You absolutely can't fall asleep!!" "Mingxiang… I'm so tired… so very tired…" she said. I could clearly feel—the flame of my beautiful wife's life was slowly dying out.

"Ling, Ling! Don't leave me!" My eyes were already blurred with tears, but I dared not wipe them away, for I was truly terrified of my wife leaving before my eyes.

"Xiang… promise me one thing…"

"Tell me, tell me! I'll agree to anything you ask, please... don't leave me...

Let Jiayi... keep smiling... just like... you do for me...

I promise you! I promise you... don't close your eyes! Ling, Ling!" I felt his hand gradually losing strength, his fingers loosening weakly, and I fell into the abyss of despair... "

Ling, answer me, please..."

I gently shook her body, hoping she could give me even a little response.

But I didn't get that tiny bit of hope I wanted.

I could only cry, cry and cry, letting tears wash over my face, letting snot drip into my mouth. "

Mr. Liu, please accept my condolences..."

The doctor patted my shoulder, looked at the electrocardiogram which had become a horizontal line, and sighed. "

Are you even qualified to be a doctor?" I yelled. I angrily grabbed the doctor and punched him hard in the face, making him fall to the side, spitting out two or three teeth that I had broken.

Just then, my sister burst into the room and grabbed me: "Brother! What are you doing?! Don't do this! Don't stop me, let go! Brother, brother! Haven't you had enough?!" Suddenly, a powerful impact, accompanied by a deafening roar, slammed into my face, making my vision blur. I spun twice and rolled on the ground, knocking over several pieces of medical equipment.

I touched my swollen cheek and glared at my furious father. "

Calm down, how old are you? Do you want to escalate this further?" I sat on the ground, seething with anger, thinking of my wife's face as she lay dying, wiping away the tears that kept falling. "

I'm sorry, my son was ignorant. I will reimburse you and your hospital for the compensation."

My father bowed to the doctor, who stood up, but simply frowned and shook his head…

However, from that moment on, the suffering began…

After that incident, the hospital sued me. Although I only paid some money to settle the matter thanks to the victim's understanding, the psychological trauma was hard to heal.

I skipped many weeks of work. My supervisor knew my predicament and simply took on a lot of work for me, letting me rest at home.

But this was only a temporary solution; I knew I would still have to face the same old routine.

However, I really couldn't muster any energy. I even left my daughter with my parents. I didn't want to take on any responsibilities as a father, and I found getting sunlight too much trouble.

So, I simply quit my job, feeling very sorry for my supervisor, and barely managed to survive on my meager savings.

Eight years passed quietly like that… but these eight years felt like a lifetime.

Life really felt meaningless. Why did I continue living like this?
Character i [Change] Ring…
The phone beside me rang. I glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to shrink into the corner of the small room, which was only about five square meters.

This is the sixth call already, coming so quickly and urgently, ringing again immediately after I hung up.

I don't care what's so urgent; even if the world were ending, I'd just accept it.

Ring…

This is the seventh… Don't the callers get annoyed? I just want to live out the rest of my life like this… Anyway, once my existence is completely gone, I'll have no motivation to continue living.

Even the landlord downstairs wishes I were dead.

…The mailbox overflowing with complaint letters and rent reminders tells me that.

Ring…

The eighth call.

I simply unplugged the phone, returning to my dark space all to myself.

The noisy sound finally stopped, never to ring again, never to disturb my long-dead soul.

Ring…

Huh? Didn't I unplug the phone a long time ago? Why is it ringing again? I slowly raised my head, and after confirming that I had indeed unplugged the phone, I shrank back into the corner.

It must be my imagination…

Knock knock knock…

Damn stupid son, open the door right now! That was Dad's voice... It seems the trouble has really gotten to the family.

Please, don't bother me... Just let me go like this, I won't disturb anyone...

Your daughter is already eight years old, eight years old! Do you still want to turn her into an orphan on the street? After Huiling left, did you just throw away all the things she left behind?! Hearing this, my mind was filled with memories of Ling's every smile and the happy days we spent together, and my tears started falling uncontrollably again.

I don't care anymore.

What kind of father abandons his daughter to his parents? I'm leaving first, you can just let your daughter be buried here with me! Not long after, the sound of a car starting up urgently came from downstairs.

I didn't expect Dad to be so heartless, just leaving his granddaughter here like this.

So... troublesome.

Should I go and pay attention to her? Anyway, there are so many abandoned children in the world, and the landlord will definitely take Jiayi to a shelter after seeing her.

Jiayi... Jiayi...? Let Jiayi... keep smiling... just like... you do for me...

Ling…

Remembering my promise to Huiling, I sighed deeply, wiped away my tears, and turned on the light (I hadn't turned on the fluorescent light for four years). The sudden brightness took a while for my eyes to adjust.

Through the crack in the door, I could vaguely see a small figure sitting in front of it.

Just as I was about to open the door, I suddenly saw a disheveled man with lifeless eyes in the mirror hanging on the door.

Touching my hair, I could hardly believe that this was me.

Looking back at the room, there were empty bottles, instant noodle bowls, and empty cans everywhere, and a foul stench emanated from it.

Oh well… anyway, this kind of life will continue after I settle Jiayi down…

With this thought in mind, I reluctantly and slowly opened the door.

The little girl outside had a fair face and fair skin, which looked even more translucent under the fluorescent light above. I stared at her for a long time.

However, what truly piqued my interest and made me stop in my tracks, even squinting to examine her closely, was her little face.

That oval, round face, those big eyes, that long, flowing, slightly brown hair, that light green dress… she looked exactly like a miniature Huiling…

Did Mom and Dad… deliberately make Jiayi look like this? Thinking back, a lump formed in my throat, but my pride forced me back my tears.

Jiayi, seeing my appearance, seemed startled.

She just stood there blankly at the door, clutching her bear-shaped plush toy, her eyes fixed on mine.

Only then did I realize how terrible I looked.

"Jiayi…?" I called softly.

Originally, I intended to use a cold tone to prevent her from feeling anything for me, making it easier to send her to the shelter and get rid of my troubles. However, I didn't expect that these two simple words would come out so tenderly that even I felt nauseous, not even as tender as when I spoke to Huiling.

"Dad... Dad...?" Jiayi tentatively called out, her voice filled with fear, which brought back the composure I had intended.

However, I knew that if I took Jiayi to the shelter like this, I might be arrested as a child abductor, causing even more trouble. "

Go inside and sit down for a bit, Dad will take you somewhere later."

After saying this, I finally regained my intended coldness. "

Oh... Oh..."

Jiayi was actually very obedient and compliant.

After responding, she stepped into the room, but frowned.

"Dad... Stinky..."

Jia Yi seemed unable to bear the stench. She put down her teddy bear, pinched her nose, and waved her little hand in front of her face.

This reaction was exactly what I expected, so I simply went into the bathroom, picked up my long-unused razor, and started grooming my neglected face. "

Oh, it's okay, we're leaving soon anyway,"

I said coldly, splashing water on my face. "

Daddy...where are we going?" Jia Yi's voice came from the living room, making me think to myself: Why is this little brat asking so many questions? "To a place where lots of kids will play with you."

I regretted saying that

as soon as I finished speaking. The razor had become dull from not being used for so long, and I accidentally cut myself. It looked like I must have bled quite a bit.

I frowned, picked up the replacement blades, but found that they were almost rusted too. I could only grit my teeth and continue using the dull razor.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of plastic bags being put into the living room. I wondered what the little brat was doing.

Although my room was full of trash, it wasn't to the point where I couldn't find a place to sit.

Oh well... there wasn't anything important anyway, the only important thing was Huiling's photo on the computer.

A considerable amount of time had passed since I finished shaving, and I was covered in cuts and bruises from the razor blade, with several drops of blood even trickling down my chin.

But no matter how painful it was, nothing was more painful than the wound in my heart that reopened when I lost Huiling, so I simply let it drip.

Next... was dealing with my hair.

Just as I was about to turn on the shower, Jiayi suddenly appeared at the bathroom door, struggling to drag a large bag towards the entrance, seemingly playing some game.

She was sweating profusely, her clothes half-soaked.

Was it necessary...? Come to think of it... did I even have such a large bag in my room? I thought to myself as I rinsed my hair.

But I quickly realized I'd long since stopped thinking, forgetting many common sense things, even showing early signs of dementia.

Ugh… the water is really hurting on my wound.

Ah! Daddy, why is it so red? This little brat… what stupid question is she asking

now? My eyes are so watery I can’t open them, and I don’t even know what Jiayi is doing.

Daddy’s washing his hair, you go play first, we’ll talk later.

Daddy… can I help? …Whatever.

…Whatever.

Because some water mixed with blood got into my eyes, the pain from the wound on my face and the pain in my eyes really made it impossible for me to open them.

To be honest, it would be a bit difficult for me to finish washing my hair, but if this little one wants to help, I might as well let her try.

Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it won’t affect my next plan.

A pair of soft and warm little hands held the lower edge of my face, and accidentally touched my wound, making me frown. However, she seemed to realize this and quickly moved away. She

carefully lowered the uninjured part of my chin.

I know this is because she’s not tall enough, and it’s very difficult for her to reach my head, so I simply sat down so she could rinse it properly.

"Dad...you've been hurt so much...does it hurt?" This question made me sneer.

Could any pain be worse than the wound in my heart? Although Huiling is gone, I don't blame her; but the fact remains that Huiling died in childbirth because of complications. "

It's okay, hurry up and wash.

" "Oh...okay..."

She gently washed my greasy hair, hair that even I found sticky and disgusting, yet she showed no sign of resistance. It reminded me of when Huiling and I used to bathe together, and she would always wash my hair in the same way.

Could this action be hereditary? Gradually, her hand touched my cheek, her soft, warm little hand stirring my heart. I couldn't help but gently grasp her hand, pretending it was Huiling's, and quietly kissed it.

Jiayi, though startled by my actions, didn't stop rinsing.

Soon after, my hair was almost washed, and I found a towel to dry my face before opening my eyes.

Seeing Jiayi staring at me with wide eyes, as if she'd seen something strange, made me feel uncomfortable. I couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Does your father look strange?" Jiayi quickly looked away, as if a child caught doing something wrong, and replied in a barely audible voice, "No… it's just that Daddy has so many wounds on his face…" "

Daddy, do you want to put some medicine on?" "Wait a minute."

The wounds from the razor blade had been washed away by the water, but they started bleeding again after a short while. I also felt this wasn't right.

However, I couldn't help but look at Jiayi again.

This little rascal really is a little rascal! She's already drenched in sweat, and she even manages to get soaked while washing my hair. Doesn't she even know how to wash her own hair? However, although she was only eight years old and still a little rascal, I could tell from her clothes, which clung to her body from being soaked, that her breasts and waist were already beginning to take shape. Though still in their budding stages, it was clear that when she grew up, she would surpass even her mother in beauty.

I shook my head. I didn't even understand why these thoughts came to me, let alone how meaningless they were.

Back in my room, I looked at it in surprise.

The table, which had been piled high with instant noodles and wine glasses, was now spotless, the trash on the floor had been cleared away, and even the clock on the wall was sparkling clean.

The large bag of things piled up by the door must have been my spoils from earlier, and the odor had been greatly reduced.

"Um… Dad… can I take a shower before going out?" "Whatever."

I said casually, sitting down where I had been sitting and hastily bandaging my wound.

After bandaging it, I turned on the TV out of boredom, only to find that channel four had been cut off long ago due to unpaid bills, so I had to turn it off.

At that moment, I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

When I turned my gaze to the computer, hoping to pass the time by looking at the photos, I was shocked to find that Huiling's picture was gone! I searched high and low for a long time but couldn't find it! "Jiayi! Where did you take Mom's picture from the computer?!" I impulsively slammed open the bathroom door, startling Jiayi.

Although only eight years old, she was very aware of the differences between boys and girls, quickly covering herself and turning around, looking at me in surprise.

But at that moment, I didn't notice this at all, only glaring angrily at my daughter whom I had never met.

That was… Mom's picture? I… I put it on the right wall.

Hearing this, I turned around and indeed saw Huiling's picture quietly pasted on the wall, smiling at me, only because Jiayi wasn't tall enough, it was pasted a little low.

I had unintentionally overlooked it.

"Um, Dad… could you… please leave?" Only then did I realize my lapse in composure, but even after understanding my embarrassment, I couldn't bring myself to admit it: "What, is it shameful that Dad saw your body?" "Yes...no...but..."

Jia Yi stammered, but I interrupted her before she could finish. "

What's there to be ashamed of? Didn't Grandpa and Grandma teach you to close the door when you take a bath?" My tone grew harsher, but I immediately regretted it; this wasn't a good example. "

But...the bathroom door...is broken."

I looked at the lock, and sure enough, due to prolonged dampness, even the lock was quite rusted.

My heavy slap had knocked the lock off.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. Faced with this eight-year-old brat, I, a man over thirty, was rendered speechless, only able to utter an "oh" and awkwardly leave the bathroom.

However, not long after I left, a scream suddenly rang out, and Jia Yi, completely naked, rushed out and threw herself into my arms.

I frowned, trying to push her away, but I couldn't; her strength was incredible.

"What are you doing? What's going on?! Daddy... there's... a cockroach!" Damn! A cockroach can scare you like this? How old are you? I watched a dark thing fly out of the bathroom and stick to the wall, and Jia Yi's screams grew louder and louder, becoming incredibly jarring to me.

I angrily shoved her away and grabbed the dictionary from the table, smashing it heavily onto the cockroach. "

It's dead, okay?" I wiped the stain on the wall with toilet paper and threw it into the trash can.

Turning around, I found Jia Yi sitting on the floor, crying incessantly, seemingly forgetting she wasn't dressed.

Looking at her developing body, her slightly protruding breasts, her still hairless pubic area, a long-accumulated desire slowly overflowed, and a certain part of me underwent a strange change.

Damn it, that's my daughter, what am I thinking? I slapped myself hard. "

Daddy, why... are you always so mean to me... Waaah..."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say. I was about to turn away and let her continue crying

when, to my dismay, I met Huiling's gentle gaze. My mind went blank.

What...what did I do? Did I make Jiayi cry? ...Cry...? Just then, Huiling's weak words flashed through my mind again. "

Make Jiayi...keep smiling...just like...you do to me..."

────.

──I'm fucking damned! What have I done?! Didn't I promise Huiling? Why am I still treating Jiayi like a burden? Thinking this, I slapped myself twice more, so hard that I felt dizzy and my cheeks burned.

Finally realizing my mistake, I found my own tears starting to fall again. I gently hugged the still-crying Jiayi, letting her tears soak my dirty clothes, and my tears dripped onto her shoulder and still-wet hair.

Jiayi...Daddy is sorry...I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I gently stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.

I didn't stop the tears from falling, and at the same time, I understood why I had the motivation to keep going.

Because all of this was to fulfill Huiling's wish.

"Daddy, Daddy... Waaah..."

Jiayi continued to cry, but she gripped my clothes tighter and tighter.

Her little hands were so strong, so full of life, so hopeful.

This is my past with my daughter, although I still can't forget the pain of Huiling's death.

But my daughter and I have been able to forget the estrangement we've had for eight years and accept each other.

Jiayi is truly perfect at handling housework; perhaps it's because her parents' parenting style is so good.

She always cleans up the mess I make without complaint and greets me when I come home with the warmest, most affectionate smile.

Although she's only eight years old, she's very sensible; I can't pick her up from school because I'm back at work, but she understands and doesn't blame me, always filling me with a different kind of happiness.

Even so, I still couldn't smile when Jiayi was beside me; just seeing her tender face reminded me of the past.

"Dad, why don't you smile?" Jiayi had grown up and was starting to prepare for her middle school entrance exams.

She was very proactive and mature, always worried that I would be distracted by her studies.

But now, as she rummaged through her schoolbag, she looked at me and asked, "

Me? ...I am smiling, look."

I put down my work, looked away from the screen, and tried to force a smile for her, but it was a very guilty smile, and it must have looked terrible. "

Dad's lying, Dad's not really smiling."

Jiayi pouted, looking incredibly cute, which gave me an urge to pick her up and kiss her all over.

But after what happened before, I had been trying hard to suppress that wicked, deep-seated desire, not daring to do anything out of line.

Heh... I can't help it, Dad has a lot to do, so he's often very tired...

Before I could finish the lie I'd painstakingly crafted, Jia Yi innocently and unvarnishedly exposed it. "

Daddy, are you thinking about Mommy? Grandma said you really, really love Mommy."

Jia Yi said, sitting beside me.

"Mmm…yes."

I stroked her head, waves of emotion welling up in my eyes.

But I couldn't easily show my vulnerable side in front of my child. "

Daddy, if you want to cry, you can cry in Jia Yi's arms! Just like when I was bullied by my classmates last time."

Jia Yi said.

Hearing these words, a warm feeling washed over me again…
Character ii [Elevation]
After Jia Yi entered fifth grade, because her classmates all knew her mother had passed away, they used this as a topic to bully her.

However, she didn't tell me about her sadness; she just bore the immense grief in her small body.

Until one day, I had a rare day off and wanted to surprise her by picking her up from school. Unfortunately, I happened to see that group of kids surrounding Jia Yi, hurling insults at her with vile language. I was furious.

I yelled at them and gave them a good scolding, which escalated the situation, even getting the school involved.

The other parents initially tried to sue me on trumped-up charges, but I counter-sued them, citing legal grounds for public insult and assault, which gradually calmed things down.

But Jia Yi's heart was already wounded, making me feel incredibly guilty. All I could say to her was, "Jia Yi, if you want to cry, you can cry in Daddy's arms. Daddy will protect you."

Hearing those words now, in different situations and with the roles reversed, always feels a little strange.

But Jiayi didn't consider my angle and pulled my head onto her shoulder without my consent.

Although she's quite tall for her age, she still only reaches my chest. Pressing my head down made my neck a little uncomfortable, but leaning on her shoulder, the warmth, the affection, and the scent that was exactly the same as Huiling's, gave me a sense of security.

My eyes welled up with tears instantly, and I didn't try to stop them.

I could only hide my face by hugging Jiayi tightly and pressing my cheek against hers…

“Daddy, can you tell me about Mommy?” Jiayi asked, gently patting my back with her little hand.

“Hmm… your mommy is very gentle… I've never argued with her since we got together, and your mommy… (omitted).

If this continued, it would be a long story.

I talked a lot about my past life, and Jiayi didn't ask any questions or interrupt me, just listened quietly…”

It feels wonderful to share my love's story with the person I love... especially when we both love her at the same time.

Actually, when Dad first saw you, he thought you really looked like your mom. Dad was afraid of hurting you, so he originally planned to send you away.

I talked about Huiling and me for a long time... In the end, I decided to bravely admit my initial mistake. I wiped away my tears and waited for my daughter's heartbroken reproach.

However, I didn't expect Jiayi to be so mature. Faced with my words, she just smiled and shook her head, then kissed me on the cheek: "I won't blame Dad, I love Dad the most."

At the time, I didn't realize how dangerous Jiayi's words were; I just smiled wryly and pinched her cheek.

Time flies. Jiayi proved that her studies were really good; she was admitted to one of the top junior high schools in Kaohsiung. She

also gradually became more tactful in her relationships with classmates, and her mature and steady attitude earned her the respect of many children, even surprising her homeroom teacher.

Once, her teacher invited parents to a teaching observation session, praising Jiayi highly, which brought me considerable glory.

However, in terms of family circumstances, I couldn't be a role model for every parent. After all, Jiayi's mindset was slightly skewed due to the absence of a mother.

Lacking maternal love, she didn't understand the appropriate reactions to having a mother.

Moreover, most of the parents attending the observation were mothers, and I felt a bit out of place as an outsider.

After the observation, there were the usual one-on-one meetings, the most effective way to understand a student's family situation; this was expected, and I had cleared my schedule for the entire day.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Liu?" "Hello, as you probably already know, I am Jiayi's homeroom teacher—Lin Huacen."

The middle-aged woman, who looked over 40, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and gently placed her other hand on Jiayi's shoulder, speaking kindly.

"Hello, please don't be so formal, just use a normal form of address. Jiayi will need your care for the next three years."

I extended my friendly right hand in return.

After shaking hands with me, Ms. Lin dismissed Jiayi outside the office and then said directly to me, "Mr. Liu, since that's the case, I won't bother with formalities."

We're both scholars, so I got straight to the point; although Jiayi has just started school, her attitude towards learning has surprised me greatly, and her thoughtfulness and attentiveness reveal her parents' effective educational approach—even my own child is inferior.

Hearing this, my nose naturally perked up again, even though my parents are the ones who truly shaped her personality.

Just as I was about to thank her, the teacher added, "However, regarding the essay from last term: 'My Future Career,' do you know what that child wrote?" I apologize for this, as I've been too busy with work, and that child rarely has the opportunity to mention school to me at home.

I gave a embarrassed, wry smile. "

Hmm… I heard your family situation is somewhat unique, so strictly speaking, it's not your fault; however, Mr. Liu, as a mentor, I have an obligation to tell you that the child's thoughts are a bit unusual."

"Teacher Lin, there's no need to beat around the bush. I won't blame Jiayi for her behavior at school."

Hearing this, Teacher Lin walked to her desk, took out a stack of densely written manuscript paper from her drawer, and gently placed it in front of me.

I looked at the title, and a smile welled up in my heart: So this little rascal's mind isn't fully mature yet. "

Teacher Lin, isn't every girl's dream to become a happy bride?" I thought Jiayi wasn't wrong in writing that.

But the problem isn't there. Please look at the second page.

Seemingly remembering the problem, Teacher Lin took off her glasses and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

Puzzled, I frowned and carefully pulled out the second manuscript paper.

I saw Teacher Lin meticulously underlining the key paragraphs in red, but I was deeply moved after seeing that underlined text. "

My dream is to marry someone like my father, preferably my father himself."

My eyes swept across the page and saw the second paragraph.

"My father's deep affection for my mother is something I've understood since I was very young."

I heard I look a lot like my mother, and they hope I can have a child for my father to fill the void left by my mother's absence.

My father is the best to me.

Although he's often busy with work, I'm not sad because I know he loves me too; besides my mother, I'm the only one in his heart.

As I read these shocking words, I unknowingly finished two articles.

However, what shocked me even more was the content of the last article.

As I grow up, will my body become more and more like my mother's? I really want to give my body to my father someday, hoping he'll be happy.

Mr. Liu, do you know what the problem is? This… this can't just be a child's wild imagination, can it? I casually replied.

However, as these articles revealed their feelings, I gradually recalled Jia Yi's recent strange behavior.

Indeed, in terms of father and daughter, Jiayi's recent behavior seems a bit out of line; normal children know from elementary school that their bodies shouldn't be shown to others casually, but Jiayi seems to be doing it intentionally, often making alluring gestures that only mature women would do in front of me, forcing me to suppress my growing desires by constantly working.

I hope so too.

In short, this concerns the child's thoughts, so I hope you pay more attention.

Teacher Lin tidied up the stack of essays and put them back in her drawer.

However, at this moment, I don't know why, I suddenly felt guilty.

Teacher Lin, I hope you can keep this a secret. I don't want Jiayi to be treated differently because of this.

I said seriously.

I know, I promise I won't make Jiayi sad.

To be honest, I feel that Teacher Lin has the kind of personality that makes people feel at ease; whatever she says, she will definitely do.

Dad, what did the teacher say to you? Stepping outside, I saw Jiayi sitting bored on a low chair, kicking her feet.

I patted her head and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing. Your teacher said you're very good and wants me to spend more time with you.

So, Daddy decided to take you to the beach this Saturday, okay?" "Wow, really? Daddy's the best!" It seemed this tactic worked as expected; Jia Yi smiled, dispelling my unease.

However, this was just the beginning of a real nightmare.
Character iii [Wish]
The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye. I took two days off from work, drove my car, and took Jia Yi, some toiletries, and other necessities to Eluanbi.

It was a relatively remote beach, far from the crowds, so there was much less trash than in bustling areas, allowing Jia Yi to freely walk on the fine sand without worrying about getting hurt.

Initially, Jia Yi was hesitant to come out after changing into her swimsuit at the guesthouse, until sunset when I practically dragged her out; I didn't want her to miss the sunset at the beach.

But when I saw Jia Yi's outfit, I was stunned for a moment.

It turned out she'd secretly gone out with her friends without telling me, using her allowance to buy a swimsuit—a two-piece with a cute little skirt. It made her look like a little princess, which made me jokingly whistle, and it made Jia Yi blush with embarrassment.

Looking at the rising tide, it was quite dangerous to swim now, so I laid out a rubber mat and leaned against Jia Yi, looking at the orange-red sun. "

Dad still isn't smiling,"

Jia Yi said, pouting at me.

Although she'd grown up and lost some of her cuteness, I still found her expression beautiful and charming under the sunlight. "

No, I'm not.

Dad's happy to be out with Jia Yi."

Although I said that, my heart was still mostly occupied by Hui Ling.

That's just my personality; memories, whether beautiful or sad, are hard to forget, so I can only hide them like this. "

Really? Well, Dad, um… I've always had a wish."

Jia Yi suddenly grabbed my hand and said. "

What wish? What do you want to buy? Dad will grant you anything."

I looked at Jiayi, waiting for her next words.

But Jiayi just shook her head, not saying a word, her bright eyes sparkling.

Suddenly, I remembered the article Jiayi had read a few days ago, and a sense of crisis rose within me. I began to regret what I had just said.

But just then, a voice abruptly cut in between us. "

Hey, hey, an old cow eating young grass, huh? This old man and his young lover are being so lovey-dovey, it's really uncomfortable to watch!" I turned around and saw three stylishly dressed young people standing behind me, about seventeen or eighteen years old, their flirtatious smiles making me frown.

"Excuse me, did I disturb you?" I said calmly.

The sudden appearance of the three startled Jiayi, who quickly hid behind me.

The leader of the three young people walked towards me, looked at Jiayi, and said: "Hey pretty girl, what's so good about being with this old man? Come out with us! I'll take you to lots of fun places."

"Aren't these three guys' lines a bit too cliché...? Besides, I'm only in my early thirties. Many of my younger colleagues at work still call me 'Young Master' in private. Is it really necessary to call me 'Old Man'?" I looked at the three delinquents. They didn't seem to work out regularly; they were all skin and bones. Even when I stood up, I was half a head taller than the tallest one. They weren't a threat to me at all.

"You old codger, what are you thinking?" the young man on the right said menacingly, as if they thought they had a better chance of winning because they outnumbered me. "

I'm just seeing if you're good enough for my daughter. "

"But just for saying that, I've already rejected you. "

I said sarcastically, looking at him. "

Oh, so she's your daughter? How old is she?" the leader asked. "

She's not even 15 yet."

I quietly pulled Jia Yi back two steps, creating some distance between us. "

Damn, she's only 14? She's already as pretty as a model, what's wrong with her?" The young man on the right spoke, his tactless remark making me frown again. "

Jiayi, would you want to go with these tactless people?" Although I already knew the answer, I still asked deliberately. "

No... I want to be with Dad."

Jiayi was stunned by the scene and could only timidly give an answer that satisfied me.

"Damn it, old man, are you looking for death? Saying I'm tactless?" the young man cursed.

I ignored him and started picking up the plastic mat and the things on the ground.

"Fuck you, ignoring me!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, the young man punched me in the face without saying a word. I took the punch, grunted, and then grabbed his arm.

"Dad!" Jiayi cried out worriedly.

However, I had already suffered this kind of pain when I was in the army.

That young man's strength was not even as great as my sergeant's back then, and I was beaten by my sergeant major until I was discharged.

I gripped his hand tightly, twisted it, and the young man cried out in pain.

"Damn it! Let go! You fucking let go—!" "This is just a warning. If you keep this up, don't blame me for being ruthless."

I touched my punched face with my other hand, released his hand, and said.

"Damn it, kill this old bastard!" I don't know whose order it was, but the three men immediately swarmed me, attacking me with chaotic punches and kicks.

However, what strength could those three skinny guys have? In my eyes, they were just slow-motion replays.

I dodged one of their punches, leaned my shoulder against him, and punched him hard in the stomach. He was already squatting on the ground, coughing violently. Another one tried to kick me in the waist from behind, but I grabbed his foot, lifted him up, and threw him aside. The last one, seeing that things were not going well, uttered a few threats and fled.

I looked at the mess on the ground, littered with the remnants of the fight, and reluctantly gathered up the undamaged items. I led the still-frightened Jiayi towards the guesthouse. It took her a while to recover, and she clung tightly to my back, saying, "Daddy, that was...so scary..." "

Daddy chased them away, didn't he? What are you still afraid of?" I gently stroked her hand.

Since graduating from elementary school, Jiayi's figure had undergone a remarkable transformation. Although she had only recently entered junior high, her figure was already curvaceous. Her soft breasts pressed against my back, sending a shiver down my spine, but I quickly suppressed it with reason.

Seeing how frightened Jiayi was, but not wanting to just stand there waiting for those three to return with their men, I carried her back to my car... "

Go take a shower first, then call me when you're done."

I turned on the TV and lay on the sofa, thinking about how to make Jiayi happy tomorrow.

So, being in a place with too few people isn't always a good idea? Fewer people might offer more freedom, but it also creates opportunities for those with malicious intent.

"I'll take Jiayi to a more lively place tomorrow..."

I thought, taking a sip of the tea I'd brewed from a tea bag. But then the bathroom door opened, and I turned around, immediately spitting out the tea.

Jiayi was standing naked in front of me! She made no attempt to hide herself, standing before me blushing and saying shyly, "Daddy... can I shower with you?" Looking at her almost flawless body, her breasts the size of small bowls, her pink nipples, her slender waist, and her mysterious private parts, I dropped the cup in surprise, wetting a large area of the carpet.

At that moment, I remembered Jiayi's writing: "I really want to give my body to Daddy someday, hoping he'll be happy."

A line seemed to be drawn in my mind, swaying beneath my feet, and I was struggling with whether or not to cross it.

Suddenly, I felt a dryness in my throat, making me swallow hard. This action made Jia Yi's face turn as red as an apple, but she still resisted the urge to cover herself, letting my gaze roam over her body.

*Cough!* I coughed heavily, shook my head, and abruptly shifted my attention back to the television, forcing a serious expression as I said, "Jia Yi, didn't Daddy tell you before that you shouldn't show your body to just anyone? You're so old, how come you still don't understand? Daddy, could you please turn your head?" Jia Yi's voice sounded almost tearful at this moment.

I hesitated, glancing at the ceiling.

I couldn't help but wonder if my mind hadn't tormented me enough, before finally shifting my gaze back to Jia Yi's face, trying my best to avoid looking at her body. "

Jia Yi…isn't she pretty?" she asked. I didn't know how to answer this question, but I knew there was only one answer she wanted to hear. "

…Pretty."

"Then why doesn't Daddy want to look at Jia Yi?" As she asked this question, tears streamed down her face.

It's not that I don't want to see, it's that I can't see! My heart screamed repeatedly.

Jiayi, go back to the bathroom.

We're father and daughter, this is impossible.

At this point, it would be too pretentious for me to try to cover it up, so I had to use the fatherly authority I'd never used before to command her.

But this time, Jiayi unexpectedly didn't listen to me. She just stood there, wiping away her tears. "

Dad... Jiayi really loves you so much... Why don't you understand?" To be honest, I'd never seen Jiayi like this before. I didn't know what to do when this happened.

In the past, whenever Jiayi cried, I would hold her and comfort her until she smiled brightly; but now I couldn't do that. "

Jiayi, listen to me, at least go wrap yourself in a towel before you come out, otherwise you'll catch a cold."

The room is air-conditioned, and Jiayi is naked with water droplets on her body. To be honest, I'm very worried about her health.

This time she didn't disobey. After wiping away her tears, she pulled a pure white bath towel from the bathroom and wrapped it around herself, but I felt that this wasn't right either.

That barely concealed appearance was the perfect example of inducing a crime. "

Dad, do you remember you told me you wouldn't go back on your word?" "Yes, I would never lie to Jiayi.

" As soon as those words left my mouth, I knew I was doomed, but it was impossible to take them back.

Because I had just promised something very serious at the beach.

I never thought that my casual promise would give my daughter the opportunity to blackmail me.

"Dad... Jiayi has also read a lot of books about that kind of thing, and when Dad isn't around, I've used Dad's computer to go online... I've learned a little bit about that kind of thing."

Jiayi said.

Hearing this, I vigorously rubbed my temples.

How could I have made such a mistake? I had forgotten that boys and girls Jiayi's age are particularly interested in sex. Although Jiayi didn't grow up in a complete family, it's perfectly normal for her to have such desires.

And I actually had this opportunity, to let her learn about this kind of thing before I even corrected her views? "Dad… Jia Yi's first time, I want to give it to you."

Jia Yi said, slowly leaning her body against mine. Just as her buttocks landed on my lap, the line in my mind seemed to snap in two.

I picked up Jia Yi and gently placed her on the bed, carefully kissing her ears and neck.

Because of her nervousness, Jia Yi's breath became the best aphrodisiac in my ear.

She automatically untied her bath towel, revealing her pure and flawless body to me once again. "

Jia Yi… are you really not going to regret it?" Although my desire ultimately overcame my reason, I still wanted to confirm it again.

Jia Yi closed her eyes and nodded slightly. She pressed her lips to mine, and we exchanged bodily fluids, our tongues swirling in each other's mouths.

Although Jia Yi had no oral skills and was somewhat clumsy, her efforts to respond were perfectly expressed.

As our lips parted, I clearly saw the glistening ripple between us. I lowered my own lips, beginning my assault on Jia Yi's breasts.

When my tongue touched her nipple, Jia Yi's body trembled slightly. My other hand massaged her other breast, careful not to hurt her with too much force.

Jia Yi's skin began to turn a rosy pink as I gently licked her.

I continued my assault on her lower body, all the way to her most intimate area; it was already overflowing with moisture.

I gently parted the two still-parted petals, greedily sucking her virgin-scented juices, and began licking her still-pink labia.

Just as I teased her pink bud, Jia Yi suddenly couldn't help but let out a moan, giving me even more reason to please her.

However, not long after, her waist suddenly arched and spasmed, her hands frantically grabbing at the sheets, while her legs tightly clamped my head. A warm flow gushed from her private parts and sprayed onto my face. Jia Yi actually felt the sensation of her first ever peak.

The climax lasted quite a while before subsiding. Afterwards, she was panting heavily, and I regained a sliver of my rationality.

"Jiayi... I think... it's better if we don't do this.

After all, you're only 14 years old..."

I looked up and said, but I found my voice trembling, completely lacking strength; I still couldn't bring myself to do something so unacceptable. "

No, Dad... I've decided, please continue."

Jiayi was panting, but her tone was the opposite of mine, so resolute.

I sighed and slowly took off my clothes, observing Jiayi's reaction.

When she saw my naked body, she did flinch a little; but when I started to unbuckle my belt, Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then used her trembling little hands to help me loosen my pants.

This initiative surprised me. It seemed Jiayi was also afraid her resolve would waver, so she was a little impatient. Actually, her will wasn't as firm as I had imagined, so when she saw the shape of my last remaining line of defense, the hidden part, her face turned a little pale.

"Jiayi, if you're scared, close your eyes and let Daddy do it."

I said as I folded my trousers and placed them at the foot of the bed.

Jiayi closed her eyes upon hearing this. As I took off my underwear and prepared to attack, my remaining rationality still held onto my last shred of consciousness: "Jiayi... are you really not going to reconsider?" "Hmm..."

Jiayi nodded, her eyes tightly closed.

This answer left me with almost no rationality. I lifted my penis and rubbed the glans against her vulva.

Soon, her secret place, which was about to dry up again, became flooded again after my touch. "

It will hurt a little at first... bear with it."

I said.

Jiayi nodded again, and at the same time, I slightly pushed the end of my penis into her narrow passage.

"Ugh..."

Jiayi's body trembled. She bit her lower lip, seemingly enduring the sensation of the foreign object entering.

I thought to myself: a short pain is better than a long one, so I pushed my penis in a little further; soon, the head of my penis met the barrier.

But I didn't stop there. Suddenly, I thrust my hips forward, breaking through the barrier.

At the same time, Jia Yi screamed, tears streaming from her eyes, which made me feel a little sorry for her. Jia

Yi... is it painful? I didn't continue thrusting, but just let my penis stay quietly inside, enjoying Jia Yi's tightness, while also giving her time to get used to this feeling. " Daddy... I'm finally your woman, Jia Yi is so happy..." I had been looking at her genitals, but when I heard this, I looked up. Unexpectedly, Jia Yi opened her eyes and looked carefully at our point of contact. There was a trickle of blood flowing down, staining a small patch of the sheet. However, despite the pain and the discharge, she wore a joyful smile. I suddenly couldn't resist the urge, and I subtly thrust my hips forward, reaching the deepest part of Jia Yi. Jia Yi let out a soft moan from the impact, instantly igniting my most primal desire. " Jia Yi... relax," I said, simultaneously thrusting my penis in and out of her. Although Jia Yi was mentally prepared, the constant thrusting caused her to moan incessantly. My previous foreplay had prepared her body sufficiently, making the process very smooth, gradually transforming Jia Yi's pain into pleasure. "Ah, ah... Daddy, Daddy... um... ah..." Jia Yi continued to moan, driving my movements to become increasingly intense. I naturally lifted her up and kissed her lips; our lower bodies joined together, our tongues swirling together, the mutual impact sending Jia Yi to another peak. However, I did not stop there, continuing the thrusting motion. Jia Yi's lower body gushed fluid like a fountain, soaking a large area of the bed sheet. Jia Yi's eyes rolled back as I accelerated, reaching several orgasms. "Daddy, Daddy... Jia Yi, Jia Yi is almost there, almost there!" Suddenly, Jia Yi clamped her legs around my waist, and at the same time, I felt a surge of desire rising from my lower abdomen to my penis. I knew I was about to ejaculate and hurriedly tried to separate us, but Jia Yi wouldn't let me go, holding me tightly. At the same time, another warm current gushed from her vulva, impacting my glans. "Roar..." Overwhelmed by this impact, I could no longer hold back. With a deep roar, my glans pressed against her vulva, and I began to ejaculate, shooting all of it into my daughter's body. This ejaculation lasted quite a while; the accumulation of fourteen years couldn't even contain Jia Yi's small uterus. My semen began to flow back out along the opening between our bodies, soaking a large area of the bed sheet again. Afterwards, we hugged each other, panting. Jia Yi's expression was full of happiness; her body seemed to still be lingering in the afterglow, still twitching. However, I frowned, looking at the semen flowing from her lower body, and said with some worry, "Jia Yi, if you get pregnant..." I was only halfway through my sentence when Jia Yi interrupted me. "Dad... Jia Yi really, really wants to have a child for you... but I'm also so scared, will it affect Dad's life? So I've already learned online how to calculate when it's safe. Dad, you can rest assured... but... sometimes it's not accurate." After catching my breath, I turned around and grabbed some tissues from the bedside table, carefully cleaning up the mess. " It's okay... Dad. Jia Yi really loves you the most..." Suddenly, she lifted my head and kissed me deeply on the lips. This time I didn't flinch; Jia Yi's feelings for me were all conveyed through her actions, making me feel a surge of happiness... And then? Actually, nothing happened. Since I'd already ejaculated inside her once, I decided to have sex with Jiayi several more times until dawn. The guesthouse owner probably guessed what we'd done and gave us a knowing look as we left. Perhaps heaven understood our awkwardness. That intimacy didn't result in a new life between us, and it made me worry for over two months for nothing. Aside from the fact that Jiayi and I were closer than father and daughter, it didn't affect our lives at all. However, since then, I haven't dared to look at Jiayi for too long in front of others, fearing that the ambiguity would arouse suspicion. After hearing my explanation, Jiayi understood the seriousness of the matter, but she never regretted it. Even so, she cooperated with me and never told anyone. In front of Teacher Lin, her attitude towards me became that of a normal child towards their father, which made Teacher Lin quite impressed with my way of persuading the child. However, once we got home, Jiayi would still cling to me.

Time flew by, and Jiayi entered high school.

She gradually matured from a child into a normal young woman. Even though her attitude towards me remained the same, a more mature aura began to emerge.

The shadow Huiling had cast in my heart had mostly faded, leaving behind her satisfied smile and Jiayi's happy smile.

Although I still hadn't truly laughed freely and happily, Jiayi understood; she had understood since she was little.

"Dad, welcome home." Jiayi rushed over and kissed me on the cheek when she saw me return.

I patted her head in response.

"Hmm… did you have a good day?" Sensing that Jiayi had something to say, I casually tossed my briefcase onto the sofa and asked.

Having escaped the shadow of Huiling's death, and with Jiayi's life largely no longer my concern, my work was going smoothly, and I was working far less overtime than before. "

Dad, look.
This is what I found in my drawer today."

Jiayi suddenly pulled a pink letter from behind her back, with a small heart attached and a faint fragrance. "

What's this?" It looks like a love letter.

I took the letter and examined it closely; although it had already been opened, I didn't dare read it without Jiayi's permission.

Through the light, I could vaguely see the neat handwriting.

"It's a love letter! A boy from another class gave it to me,"

Jiayi said boastfully.

Suddenly, a pang of jealousy rose in my heart, making me frown slightly; however, I knew very well that receiving love letters at Jiayi's age was perfectly normal, and since Jiayi entered her third year of junior high, her figure and appearance had surpassed that of ordinary little girls, even attracting talent scouts who tried to recruit her, which surprised even me.

Therefore, I quickly pretended to be nonchalant, but Jiayi caught me frowning for a moment.

"Dad… are you jealous?" she said with a mischievous smile.

"No."

I casually placed the letter on the table and turned on the TV.

"Dad's lying again! You're really bad at lying!" Jia Yi sat beside me, wrapping her arms around my neck and speaking affectionately. "

Really, no."

I simply shifted my attention to the latest news.

"Dad, you always pretend to watch TV when you're unhappy. Jia Yi already knows that.

...Your observation skills are too sharp, aren't they?" "Well, I guess I'm just jealous."

I coldly turned off the TV and turned my head to the side.

"Dad...don't do this!" She was sitting on my lap, facing me, and suddenly kissed my lips.

This had happened frequently at home, so I was already used to it. I hugged Jia Yi and kissed her passionately.

After a long while, I knew that if this continued, my wicked desires would be aroused again. To avoid making a mistake, I gently separated us. "

Dad, don't worry.

I won't agree to that boy's advances. I only want to be Dad's little woman for the rest of my life."

Jiayi whispered seductively in my ear, making me both love and hate this little vixen, but I couldn't lash out, so I could only gently pinch her rosy cheek in response.

At that moment, I even believed that our relationship was exactly the same as before, completely unchanged; almost nothing could prevent our relationship from ending.

But I overlooked one thing—she was just a young girl experiencing her first love.
