Become a one-time character in a comic

"Sister Mingyue, my dad believes it."

Xu Yan stood beside Mingyue who was weeding in the garden. Mingyue threw the weeds in her hand into the bamboo basket, patted the dust on her gloves and said, "Okay, then it's my job next. You should spend more time with Tangtang. You were away all afternoon today. She said you were busy and didn't spend time with her. She thought it was good for you to stay here all the time."

Xu Yan nodded gently: "It's good."

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then said to Xu Yan with a look of regret: "You are her closest relative in this world. Although you don't have the same mother, you have the same blood. Others can say such things, but you can't. Tangtang said this because she hopes you will accompany her. Do you really think children will only tell the truth?"

Xu Yan pursed his lips and said, "Sister Mingyue, I really think it's good."

Mingyue looked at him and asked, "Do you think having Tangtang by your side will have a bad influence on your future life?"

"No, it's just that there are only two of us by my side, and I wish she could have more company."

Mingyue sighed helplessly and said, "Tangtang understands this better than you. Tangtang's current knowledge is not enough for her age, but she knows better than anyone who she wants to be with forever, and you know it, but you are not firm enough. Again, Xu Yan, what are you afraid of?"

After she said this, she picked up the bamboo basket and left, leaving Xu Yan standing in the garden.

He felt that he was indeed afraid of something in his heart, but he also felt that he was no longer afraid.

After Mingyue asked him "what are you afraid of" last time, he started to overcome his fear. He no longer planned to push Tangtang in front of his parents, but what is he afraid of now?

do not know.

This time Mingyue didn't explain clearly, and Xu Yan didn't know what he was afraid of.

He looked up at the sunset in the west. Although it was beautiful, Xu Yan knew that it would be dark in less than ten minutes and he would not be able to see the sunset then.

As it was almost out of sight, he stood there for several minutes, as if waiting for something.

"Brother, brother! Flowers!"

A cheerful and light voice called out to Xu Yan. Xu Yan turned around and saw Tangtang running towards her with a handmade windmill in her hand. The windmill in her hand was turning as she ran, and even her clothes and hair were dancing backwards because of her running.

Xu Yan was afraid that Tangtang would fall if she rushed over like that, so he stretched out his hand to catch her, but Tangtang stopped steadily and stood in front of him. His hands were empty and clenched into fists.

The next moment Tangtang held his hand, and his hands were no longer empty.

Tangtang smiled and gave him the handmade windmill: "Give flowers to my brother."

Xu Yan was amused: "Tangtang, this is not a flower, it's a windmill, wind, car."

"fo..."

"windmill."

Tangtang looked at his lip shape and imitated him with her mouth open: "Wind..."

"car."

Tangtang raised her hands and shouted with a smile: "Wind, car!"

Sunny, wearing a protective suit, came over and said, "We taught for a long time just now, but Tangtang still hasn't learned the word 'windmill'. You will learn it as soon as you teach her."

Xu Yan looked at Tangtang with a little surprise, bent down slightly and asked, "Tangtang, have you been waiting for me?"

Tangtang nodded vigorously: "Yes, I'm waiting for my brother to come home."

"So, is Tangtang happy today?"

Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "Eight points."

Before, Xu Yan and Tangtang went out to play together. Tangtang didn’t know how to express whether she was satisfied with something, so Xu Yan taught her this method of scoring. The full score is ten, which means super satisfied, eight points means satisfied, six points means okay, four points means dislike, two points means hate, and zero points means leave immediately.

Xu Yan asked: "Why is it eight points?"

Tangtang pointed at him without hesitation and said, "Brother is not here, eight points."

"Can't it be ten points?"

Tangtang shook her head, indicating that there was no room for negotiation and it was impossible to reach 10%.

"Don't you like those brothers and sisters?"

"No," she looked at Xu Yan anxiously, "Brother is not here, eight points."

Xu Yan squatted down and looked at Tangtang, who was frowning because of anxiety. He smoothed Tangtang's brows with his hand and said, "What if it's just my brother?"

"very!"

Xu Yan had never expected Tangtang to answer like this and was stunned.

Sunny pretended to be sad behind Tangtang and said, "Sister is so sad, only 8 points."

Tangtang immediately turned around to comfort Sunny: "Sister, crying is not good."

"Sister, I understand. You told me not to cry, right?"

Tangtang understood, but she couldn’t see Sunny’s mouth shape, so she couldn’t learn what was said, so she just nodded vigorously.

Xu Yan looked at Tangtang, such a pure child, and he didn't know what he felt in his heart, but he felt joy, happiness, warmth, and all the good emotions.

It got dark quickly, and he could only see a little bit of color from the sunset. But now there were new colors, and many stars appeared above his head. The large stars seemed to be blinking because of the atmosphere, and it felt very cheerful, just like candy.

What if you miss the sunset? The appearance of the sunset means that it will be dark, but the appearance of the stars means that the next day will be bright.

Xu Yan stretched out his hand to Tangtang and said, "Tangtang, teach me how to make a windmill."

"Ok!"

Compared to the tranquility here, Mrs. Xu looked at the ground in front of her, which was covered with papers with writings and drawings on them, with an expressionless face.

"The medicine is not stable yet, so don't rush to publish it."

Mr. Xu scolded her: "What do you know? Those blind people only see what the first person publishes. Even if it is later proved that I published it first, there will still be idle people gossiping. This is my achievement. I will not allow anyone to own my achievement, not even my son."

Mrs. Xu sighed helplessly and asked, "What about me?"

Mr. Xu was very busy and had no time to answer her question. She raised her voice and asked again, "What about me?"

The volume of the sound frightened Mr. Xu. He asked in confusion, "What?"

"Shouldn't I be listed as the second author?" Mrs. Xu looked at the computer screen and said, "You are the first author. There is no second author at all. That's what you told me before."

"Does it matter?" Mr. Xu said as a matter of course: "What's mine is yours. If I succeed, those people will notice that you are behind me. It doesn't matter whether you are the second author or not."

“Is it that hard just to write a name?”

Mr. Xu began to get impatient: "What on earth do you want to do? It's just a name. What's the big deal? It doesn't matter whether you add it or not. I haven't written your name for so many years, why do I have to write it today? Besides, if I didn't write your name before, everyone knows that you are my good wife."

Seeing that his wife was a little angry and didn't want to pay attention to him, he began to coax her: "As long as you are still my wife, these things of mine are yours. It's just a name. It's not as important as the feelings between us. We have been married for more than 30 years. You won't be angry because of this."

Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "This is the last time I remind you. Don't rush to publish. The medicine is unstable."

"okay, I get it."

Mrs. Xu saw that his hands had not left the keyboard at all, and asked speechlessly: "You just know it verbally, but you still want to publish it, right?"

Mr. Xu looked at her with a slightly aggrieved and embarrassed expression: "I am doing this for our own good. We can't possibly give away the results we have gained in this laboratory over the years to others."

"Others? That's our son." Mrs. Xu nodded with a sneer. "I discovered it at the funeral today. You didn't treat our son as our son at all. It was as if he was just my son. I was the one talking about all the things about our son before, and you were just watching from the side like a commander."

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Xu was even more impatient now. "You are really being unreasonable now. Why don't I treat him as my son? I gave him money and the formula of 'tea powder' so that he could have a chance to survive. Why do you talk like I never had this son? Tell me, is he my biological son?"

"What did you say?" Mrs. Xu couldn't believe what she heard. She grabbed his collar and pressed him on the computer desk: "Say it again if you dare! I gave birth to you after ten months of pregnancy, and now you are doubting me!"

"No, no," Mr. Xu began to apologize in a weak and fawning manner, "I just spoke too quickly, but I definitely didn't think that way in my heart. Xu Yan is definitely our son. You and I both know that in our hearts. I really just spoke too quickly."

Mrs. Xu was extremely disappointed with him. She let go of his collar and said, "I have never betrayed this relationship in my life, but you can actually say such a thing. I will say it one last time. Don't publish it. The medicine is unstable."

After saying that, she left the laboratory, and Mr. Xu cursed her as she left, "Crazy woman," and continued to organize the data for publication.
