For Zhou Yi, Smith. Zhou's existence is like a-stirring stick, messing up his otherwise good mood.

At such a time, it was really difficult for him to maintain the mood he had before. However, when facing his little baby, he had to force a smile.

Because he didn't want this newborn little guy to learn what it was like to be distressed so early. Even if it was impossible, he hoped that he could face her with a smile all the time.

Happy, laughing. This is everything that Zhou Yi wants to give each of his children, although he can't guarantee that they will spend their lives like this, but he hopes that in their childhood, he can guarantee all of them all.

This is probably the idea that every pair of parents in the world will have. In contrast, although he said that he had many conditions that other fathers did not have, he also had more troubles in comparison. A phrase that little spiders often hang on their lips, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. This sentence is placed here for him, probably the greater the power, the greater the trouble.

He already has a lot of troubles, from this world, from this family. It all piled up on top of each other, and he was not sure if he could guarantee that the children's childhood would be the way he had envisioned. Escaping, that's not a solution. Because there's always going to be some trouble coming to you. And turning a blind eye is not actually a reasonable solution. Because no matter how much you pretend to be blind, you can't solve the problems in front of you. They will only accumulate until the moment when you feel overwhelmed.

All along, Zhou Yi has been acting as a bystander to the world. Everything he had experienced in the past was a disappointment for him, and he had already lost the mood he had at the beginning of this world. At that time, he was far more innocent than he is now, because at that time he just wanted to change the world. And he did, and the world did change because of him, and at the same time, he was changed by the world.

Ideals become reality, passions become gloom. From a glorious god to a hermit who doesn't care about the world today, this is a testament to the world's change in him. From his point of view, if the world is connected by silk threads, then he has changed from a moth that rushed desperately at the beginning to a detachment who broke free. It's just that he is detached, but the people around him are not.

Whether it is his mother, his lover, his children or even his friends, they are still struggling in this world of silk threads. And this actually means that he has not completely broken free at all, and through the connection between him and these people, the world itself is actually connected with him.

Sooner or later, he will have to go back. In the past, he didn't want to admit it, but after all these things happened today, he had to admit it, unless he could cut all the bonds on his body. But how could such a thing be done by cutting off the fetters on the body.

Thinking about this clearly, Zhou Yi had already made up some kind of determination in his heart. And this determination also prompted him to start putting it into action. But before he can act, he still has something to do. For example, convincing yourself that these people around you are more important than anything else.

After all, it takes time and process to change the environment around you and even the world. If he hadn't been able to convince Ida and them, their resentment and obstruction would be the biggest obstacle when he got into action. He didn't want to cause problems in his family because of something, so he had to have their support and understanding.

It's not an easy thing to do. Because both Ada and Jean are extremely autonomous and independent women. It's simply impossible to attract their blind obedience with one word. even said that once he said what he thought in his heart, there was a chance that it would attract their resentment and rejection.

Zhou Yi is sure of this. But since such a determination has been made, this step is inevitable. And this step, it's time to step out.

It's getting late, and the guests are gone. After watching his sad mother fall asleep, Zhou Yi had already called Ida and them together, intending to confess everything in his heart to them. And just as he was about to speak, Ada was already talking to him with a suspicious expression.

"What do you want to say, do you intend to break the agreement between us?"

Such straightforward words coupled with a sharp way of speaking immediately choked the words in Zhou Yi's stomach in his throat. Indeed, it is a bit unreasonable to say that half a day ago I swore a promise, but now I want to go back on my word. However, remembering the determination he had made before, Zhou Yi still took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth to Ida and the others.

"I'm sorry, I promised you, but I'm afraid some things have to change."

"So Ada guessed right, do you really want to break your agreement with us and start your dangerous business again? Did you do this with our family in mind? Zhou Yi, you are already the father of several children, did you not consider them before you made up your mind? ”

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, the big-bellied Qin couldn't help frowning.

Like Ada, she is a staunch oppositionist. And because of her big belly, her opinion has also become expensive. It can be said that at this time, Qin alone weighed more than several Zhou Yi, and when she clearly expressed her opposition, even Zhou Yi, who had already made up his mind, felt heavy pressure.

But he resisted the pressure, and under the threatening gaze of Ada and Jean, he explained to them in a deep voice.

"Of course I've thought about the children, not just the children, I've thought about you, my mother, and Charis. It is precisely because I have thought about it so much that I have made up my mind to do so. Believe me, this is a last resort. If there was a better option, I wouldn't do it. ”

"It's ridiculous, what is called if there is a better option. In my opinion, it would be a better choice to keep the life we have now. Zhou Yi, I think you are not willing to be lonely. Or are you tired of our life with you and want to start a new life? If that's the case, we can leave. As I warned you before, I'll take them away from your eyes. ”

Ida said angry words in her mouth, but Zhou Yi did not doubt her ability to act at all. When she said that, maybe she might actually do it. And if she really did that, then Zhou Yi would really go crazy. So, he immediately raised his hand and said goodbye.

"Calm down, Ada, how could I mean that. Are you just thinking this is a false idea? Would you like to hear my explanation? I really have my own struggles and considerations. ”

"Bitter? Well, I'm going to see how you can explain it. ”

Ida was not completely unreasonable, and at this time, she more or less gave Zhou Yi a chance to explain. And Zhou Yi also seized this opportunity in time and said this to them.

"Banner came to me today and told me about what's been going on in the world lately. He told me that a country with a huge population was on the verge of destruction because of the Hydra machia, and that the billions of people living there could die at any moment because of the radiation effects of a nuclear bomb. And in order to save the billions of people, he wants me to help them, even if it is only a part of it, he said to me. He even said that for this purpose, he did something that surprised me. That is, he fell on his knees in front of me and pleaded with me. ”

"So you're overflowing with compassion?"

Maintaining an absolute coldness, Ida said to Zhou Yi with a sneer.

"What does the life or death of those people have to do with us. Don't forget, you've already saved them once, but what did they do to you? Why, do you want to make such a mistake again? ”

"I know what happened to you at the beginning, Ada. I'll admit that his actions did give me some sympathy. However, this has nothing to do with compassion. If it were only for sympathy, I wouldn't have made up my mind to do so. I'm doing this more because of our children and you. ”

Zhou Yi, who guessed Ada's reaction, responded with a wry smile, and then he came up with an explanation that he had been brewing for a long time.

"Banner said this to me as he was leaving, and he wanted me to take those people's gratitude as a blessing to my little darling. Although this sentence was not enough to make me change my mind completely, it made me think about some problems that I had neglected before. That is, children will grow up after all. And if we continue to turn a blind eye to the changes in the world, what kind of world will they face when they grow up? ”

"A scorched earth, a ruin, displaced people, human beings struggling in pain and despair. This is not the world I want them to see, and this is not the future I want to give them. Could it be that when they grow up and find that the world has become what I have depicted, and then they look back at me and ask me why the world has become the way it is, why it has become different from what I described in the story from what they described, do I tell them because I am blind to the suffering that is happening in this world? ”

"No, I don't want to. Because I didn't want my children to resent me, and I didn't want to see them look at their father with a disappointed look. So, I had to do something. For their sake, and for ourselves. Ada, can you understand how I'm feeling right now? ”
