In my memory, I and my brother also enjoyed the love of father and mother.
My father is a very handsome man, and his smile gives people a very warm feeling. My mother is a lady who knows how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is Zhou Xiaoxin’s idol.
Everyone says that my brother Zhou Linlin looks like his father. The way he smiles always gives people a strong feeling that cannot be ignored.
As for me, I prefer my mother's appearance, but my personality is the same as my brother Zhou Linlin's and is more cheerful like my father.
In fact, I learned all this from my so-called parents and friends.
Zhou Xiaoxiao is actually very vague about the appearance of his parents, because his father is an employee of the Special Operations Bureau, and his mother is an employee of the Intelligence Department. After they died in the line of duty, the identity files of the couple have been completely hidden by the state.
Therefore, all information about her parents, including photos, were destroyed.
Her memory of everything about her parents has long been blurred. The only remaining memory is that her father's smile is warm and her mother's arms are comfortable.
The clear memory ends on Zhou Xiaoxiao’s birthday when he was eight years old.
It was a sunny day. Zhou Xiaoxiao was wearing a beautiful lace princess dress. She was as beautiful as a doll.
The Zhou couple also took a day off to spend this birthday with their daughter.
"What gift does Xiaoxiao want?" Zhou's father asked his precious daughter as he drove his wife and daughter to the mall.
The smart Zhou Xiaoxiao blinked his big eyes and replied with a smile: "Dad, I want a new computer~! Brother, he always won't let me touch his computer~!"
Father Zhou smiled gently and said, "It seems that Xiaoxiao also likes computers very much."
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded, and then said coquettishly: "Dad, just buy one for me~"
Father Zhou couldn't resist his daughter's coquettishness and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Xiaoxiao is our princess~ Of course I have to agree to the princess's request~"
"Yeah~ Dad, I love you so much~!" Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the back seat, was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Sitting in the passenger seat and looking at the father and daughter, Zhou's mother couldn't help but shake her head and smile, saying: "The children are all spoiled by you."
Father Zhou smiled nonchalantly: "If the children want it, buy it. We don't have time to spend with them. We will try our best to satisfy them as much as we can. See if Lin Lin is not spoiled by us."
Zhou’s mother also laughed
Zhou Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, sat happily in the back seat and hummed a tune contentedly.
However, this happy scene was shattered after forty minutes.
Father Zhou drove them to the largest shopping mall in the capital. They were ambushed as soon as they entered the parking lot.
The other party seemed to be waiting for their arrival in ambush. Zhou's father was shot dead on the spot, and Zhou's mother immediately told Zhou Xiaoxiao to lie down in the car and not show up, while she got out of the car and dealt with the gangsters.
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that his father, who was chatting and laughing with him just a moment ago, was gone.
The pungent smell of blood filled the car. Zhou Xiaoxiao felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She called out in fear: "Dad...? Dad, what's wrong with you...?"
Several gunshots were heard outside the car. Zhou Xiaoxiao was lying in the car, shaking all over and completely losing his ability to react.
I don’t know how long it took, but the car door was opened.
Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was curled up, was hugged tightly by a strong embrace, and then a deep and steady male voice came into Zhou Xiaoxiao's eardrums: "Be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Zhou Xiaoxiao slowly came back to her senses. She saw clearly that the man holding her was a handsome man just like her father.
"I'm Yin Qirui, I'm your father's colleague. It's okay, be good." The man hugged Zhou Xiaoxiao and comforted him softly.
"I... Where are my parents...?" Zhou Xiaoxiao began to burst into tears uncontrollably, "They promised to spend my birthday with me..."
Her crying became louder and louder, which made the staff handling the scene red-eyed.
Yin Qirui hugged her and patted her back gently to help her calm down.
It was the first time that other staff members saw Yin Qirui so patiently comforting a little girl, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"It's okay, many of us will celebrate your birthday with you, and your parents will be very happy," Yin Qirui coaxed her.
After a while, a staff member ran over and gave Yin Qirui a military salute and said: "Report, Liu Qing has been found."
Liu Qing is the name of Zhou's mother. When Zhou Xiaoxiao heard this name, he immediately shouted before Yin Qirui could speak: "How is my mother?!"
The staff member seemed very embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain it clearly to this cute little girl.
Yin Qirui saw the embarrassed expressions of the staff, and immediately understood that Liu Qing had also died in the line of duty.
"Xiaoxiao is a strong and good boy, right?" Yin Qirui asked the little girl in his arms
Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately wiped away tears and sniffed and nodded.
"Okay, I'll take you to see your mother, but you must promise your uncle and never cry again, okay?" Yin Qirui said to her in a negotiating tone.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stopped crying and looked at Yin Qirui with wide eyes.
"Your father and mother only want you to live happily, and don't want you to be so sad." Yin Qirui said directly regardless of whether she understood or not, "My son is about the same age as you, and he has never cried.
So you have to be strong even though you’re young.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Yin Qirui half-understanding and nodded seriously.
Liu Qing's body was found on the other side of the parking lot. She was still holding a self-defense pistol in her hand. She was shot once in the chest and waist. She had already died.
Perhaps because he had already experienced the moment of his father's death, Zhou Xiaoxiao no longer felt any fear when he saw his mother's body.
She just trembled all over, and then said in a tearful voice: "It was me who killed my parents...I shouldn't have let them spend my birthday with me..."
The little girl's strong sense of guilt shocked the adults present.
Yin Qirui couldn't help but blush: "Xiaoxiao, your parents are heroes and heroes of the country. Their sacrifices will not be in vain."
But Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was only eight years old, didn’t understand what Yin Qirui’s words meant at the time.
She only knew that the warm home was completely broken on this day. Zhou Xiaoxiao and her brother Zhou Linlin became completely orphans on this day, orphans without parents.
——This is a side story about Zhou Xiaoxiao and Yin Qirui. It will explain clearly what kind of state they are in.
