Chapter 1353 The Man's Regret

After resting for a while and regaining some strength, the man did not get up, but slowly moved to the edge of the towel.

He rewrapped the scattered crumbs and put the towel aside.

In order to avoid the previous accident from happening again, he didn't force himself.

"Coffee~"

Peacock Blue Feifei squatted on the side, watching the man's actions curiously.

It couldn't help but stretch out its claws and poke the towel ball.

When she was about to poke him a second time, the man grabbed her paw.

"Coffee~"

Philip did not struggle.

The man pushed the towel further away. "It contains porcelain chips. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Ok?
The man suddenly blinked in confusion.

Before, he took it for granted that the little guest who suddenly appeared in his house was a little fox.

But now he was a little uncertain again.

Are there any fox species with red stripes?

He looked carefully at the red lines on the little guy's body.

The light red color, faintly visible among the snow-white fur, makes the little guy look even more mysterious.

He couldn't help but murmur. "Little guy, what are you?"

"A fox?"

Then he smiled bitterly.

How can the little guy hear-
"Coffee~"

The timely call seemed to answer his question.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then the fine lines at the corners of his eyes slowly relaxed. "Are you answering my question?"

"Do you understand me?"

"But I don't understand you."

The man smiled bitterly.

"But it doesn't matter what you are."

The man touched Peacock Blue Feifei's head and asked, "Why are you in my house?"

"Because it's raining?"

It was raining heavily outside, and the raindrops were almost connected in a line, hitting the windows.

The wind howled.

He was awakened from his sleep by the sudden sound of wind and rain. When he reached out to touch the cup of water, he accidentally dropped it.

Then, when he got up from the bed and cleaned up, he discovered the unexpected visitor.

A curious and kind little fellow.

……

"Coffee~"

Seeing the little guy nod, the man opened his mouth slightly, and after a long while he finally uttered a somewhat difficult voice, "Really, really."

It feels like chatting with someone similar to me...

He smiled with a sigh, "What a smart little guy."

"Little guy, you can stay at my house until the rain stops."

If the little one is still there when the time comes, ask your wife to ask the neighbors nearby to see whose family the little one belongs to.

Such a beautiful and clever little creature, its owner must treasure it very much, right?
And this little white fox with red stripes-
Just think of it as a fox. Apart from the red stripes on its body and the hair on its neck that looks like a horse's mane, just looking at its face, this little guy does look quite like a fox.

He had never seen it before, let alone heard of it.

It should be a very rare species, right?

The price must be high.

……

The man lay back on the bed.

He put his hand on his forehead, a hint of fatigue between his brows.

His health is getting worse.

Maybe... I really don't have much time to live.

The doctor clearly said he had one year to live.

But when he looked at his own condition, he always felt that he might die at any time.

Can I still have another year to live?

"Coffee~"

He turned around and saw the little guy squatting next to his pillow.

He smiled, "Little guy."

Sick people are always particularly vulnerable.

However, he is the head of the family and has already become a burden to the family. He cannot make his family worry even more.

However, in front of such an ignorant little kid, he didn't need to force himself.

"I'm a little tired."

The man's voice was hoarse and weak, and he seemed to be talking to himself rather than confiding.

"Although I'm still alive, isn't it too embarrassing to lie in bed every day and gasp for breath after a little movement?" "On the one hand, I'm glad that I didn't waste my life before. I studied and worked very hard, and now I've achieved something at this age."

"So, even if I pass away later, my wife and my children shouldn't have a hard time."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice became a little softer, "But..."

“I feel a little regretful.”

"…It's not that I regret it, I just feel a little bit regretful."

"I've been very busy with work and haven't had much free time to go out and play."

“I also have a lot of places I want to go.”

"I thought that when I retire, I will go out and play every day."

"Who would have thought..."

“It turns out I won’t live to see the day of retirement.”

……

The man smiled and opened his eyes a little, "Luckily my wife insisted that the whole family go out for fun once a year."

"No matter how far or near, it would be nice if we could just go for an outing together."

……

"Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is nothing to regret."

The man murmured, but the faint wrinkles between his brows did not disappear.

"It's just that I didn't have the time before, so I couldn't go anywhere."

"Now what I have the most is time, but I can only stay in my room."

"Rather than being alive, it's better to say..."

"Waiting to die."

The man's voice became softer and softer.

He smiled vaguely, "Sorry, little one, I said some unpleasant things to you."

"When my wife comes back, I'll ask her to make you something delicious..."

The man slowly closed his eyes.

The peacock blue hair came close to the man's nose.

The gentle breath ruffled its hair slightly.

The man fell asleep.

It leaped lightly to the other side of the man, where there was an open book.

Staring at the picture on the page, the pupils in Peacock Blue Feifei's eyes gradually disappeared, but countless stars seemed to emerge, sparkling and becoming more and more dazzling.

……

"pat~"

The lights in the room came on.

The man opened his eyes hazily.

"Dad, it's time to eat."

The woman walked to the bed.

"Ah."

The man responded subconsciously.

With a relaxed and happy smile on his face.

The woman was a little curious, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

As he asked, his brows were already curved.

I feel like I haven't seen a man smile like this for a long time.

Not smiling to comfort her and the child.

A true smile from the heart.

".had a beautiful dream."

The man glanced around and then his eyes fell on his wife who was bending down to help him up.

It was just a dream after all.

He suppressed a sigh in his heart.

His brows were relaxed.

"Really? What sweet dream?"

The wife smiled.

The man was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and looked down at his pillow.

No.

"what happened?"

The woman was startled by the man's inexplicable action, "What are you looking for?"

Seeing the man lifting the quilt and looking around, the woman guessed.

"What's missing?"

"I'll help you look for it."

The woman also looked down at the bed.
