“Which one… looks good?”

Qi Liang did not expect Zhang Ye to suddenly ask this question at this moment.

He thought about this question subconsciously, but then he couldn't get the answer.

He shook his head at Zhang Ye and said, "I think... they all look very good."

Zhang Ye nodded, then hugged his shoulder and made him turn to the other side: "Then look at it."

Qi Liang heard this, looked at it, and then stood there in a daze.

He saw that his mother was laughing.

Ms. Feng floated in front of a small cloud at this time, and carefully stretched out her hand to touch the cloud.

There was no feeling, but it made her fingertips feel cold and wet.

The wind blew the ends of her hair, revealing her face, and there were traces left by time on her face.

This unprecedented experience made a smile bloom on her face.

She seemed to be a childlike heart. She touched this cloud and poked it, but she didn't feel much touch, but she was still happy.

At this moment, Xingzai and the other two shouted in the arms of fireworks.

"You're setting off fireworks, look at them!"

"This is the first time I fly so high to set off fireworks!"

"Haha, hurry up and light the fire!"

As he said that, the three treasures put the fireworks on the water sailboat, ignite the fire, and then ran away one after another.

A few seconds later, with a sharp roar, countless fluorescent lights soared into the sky, sank into the deep space, and then exploded with a bang.

The brilliant fireworks merged with the sea of ​​stars, and against the backdrop of the night, they actually burst into unparalleled splendor.

But... Qi Liang's eyes did not fall on the fireworks.

He looked at his mother and looked at her with her face raised. The fireworks shone on her face. She was like a little girl who had first seen fireworks, and the smile on her face was blooming like the fireworks.

She was smiling, wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but it made her look more gentle.

"Which one is better than your mother's smile, the lights of the world, and the fireworks in the sky?"

Suddenly, Zhang Ye asked.

This time Qi Liang did not hesitate: "Smile..."

Zhang Ye nodded and smiled and said, "Right."

"But you know, such a smile may disappear one day."

His words were very light, but they were hit into Qi Liang's heart like a heavy hammer. He couldn't help but panic and quickly looked at Zhang Ye, his eyes and expressions were asking.

Why?

"Because of you." Zhang Ye gently tapped his heart.

"You said, if your mother was there that day, who would be the first to save you?"

"Do you think it's her, or me?"

"My mother..." Qi Liang said in a daze, his eyes were slightly red.

"Then what will happen to Aunt Feng who is standing in front of you when facing that mantis?"

In an instant, Qi Liang's face turned pale, and even his lips were trembling slightly.

He has experienced such blood and such horror.

He was afraid, but what he feared at this moment was not the mantis.

In his mind, the scene of his mother blocking her in front of him, then being pinned by a mantis and being sent into his bloody mouth.

There was a severe pain in his heart, and he subconsciously gasped, like a fish that lost water, with the fear in his eyes stronger than before.

This is, a stronger fear.

"Are you afraid?" Zhang Ye was still asking: "Are you afraid that such a thing will happen?"

Qi Liang nodded vigorously: "I'm afraid..."

"Then will you save her?"

"Yes!" Qi Liang immediately said: "I will!"

"Then are you still afraid of mantis?" Zhang Ye suddenly asked with a smile.

Qi Liang was stunned again.

"Which mantis and your mother are more afraid of because of you?" Zhang Ye asked slowly, but this time, he did not ask Qi Liang for the answer.

"I think you know the answer."

"Is that right?"

Qi Liang looked at him, then at his mother, and finally nodded. The fear in his eyes was slowly dissipating.

"What you really should be afraid of shouldn't be the mantis."

"The mantis is dead."

"But your mother is still there."

"I believe that if you are in danger, she will definitely be the first to save you."

"And you should protect her."

"This is what you should do as a man."

"What do you think?"

When Qi Liang heard this, he nodded, his face full of affirmation, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Then what should I do?" Qi Liang asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Ye shook his head and looked at his friends playing in the distance, as well as the mother's happy and gentle smile.

"I'm one year younger than you, how do I know?" Zhang Ye smiled, his side face slightly emerged under the moonlight.

"I just know, I should work hard."

"I'm going to keep working hard."

"Try to become stronger, work hard to grow, work hard to overcome fear, work hard to prevent all tragedies from happening, work hard..."

"Kill all threats in the cradle!"

He clenched his fists hard, as if he had clenched Qi Liang's heart, which made his heart tighten.

The confusion and fear in Qi Liang's eyes had long disappeared, and replaced by a hint of firmness.

Then Zhang Ye smiled and patted his shoulder: "Try hard, boy."

He looked at Ms. Feng again, and the smile on her face was like spring breeze.

"You are working hard, hiding your parents' happy old age."

The wind is blowing.

Blow up the ends of his hair.

If his previous words were like heavy hammers, then this moment was a rain that nourished the heart.

Qi Liang's gaze blurred, tears fell down, but his eyes under the hazy tears were unprecedentedly firm.

"mom!"

On the other side, Ms. Feng, who was enjoying the breeze, turned her head when she heard this, but saw Qi Liang coming behind her and hugging her with her arms open.

Qi Liang is seventeen years old, half a head taller than Ms. Feng.

The son's sudden hug caught Ms. Feng off guard: "Xiaoliang, you..."

"Mom, I want to go back!" Qi Liang suddenly said.

"What?" Ms. Feng didn't react for a moment.

"Go back to school!" Qi Liang looked at his mother's eyes, his face full of smiles: "I won't drop out of school!"

“Only in the Military District Academy can I learn what I really want!”

Things that can protect your family!

Ms. Feng saw it, saw the light in his eyes, without any fear.

She realized something, looked at Zhang Ye, and saw Zhang Ye nodding at her with a smile.

In an instant, tears gushed out of my eyes.

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the child's face.

"You... aren't afraid?"
