Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Where is Xi?

Where did Xi go?

While sympathizing with Okazaki's plight, the audience focused on every picture, fearing that they would miss something important by blinking and looking for something.

Although Nagisa left, their child was born healthy.

Why is Okazaki alone now? Where are he and Nagisa's child Xiaoxi?

Under Sanae's enthusiastic invitation, Okazaki agreed to Sanae's invitation to "go out to have fun as a family". When he asked for leave from the company and got consecutive leave, and came to Nagisa's former home Furukawa Bakery, he only saw Sanae left behind. note and ticket.

Although this town is constantly changing, it still has the familiar appearance in my memory. The laughter and laughter that Nagisa once had at home were like the sounds of yesterday, but now things have changed, which only adds to the sadness.

Suddenly, a small shadow ran behind Okazaki. Okazaki followed the sound and found memories of him and Nagisa everywhere in the room.

Finally, Okazaki saw the figure suddenly hiding behind the wall next to him.

Okazaki did not walk over, and his expression did not show any experience. He calmly called out a name.

"Xiao Xi!"

This is a name that touches the hearts of countless fans.

I saw half of that little figure peeking out, like a frightened kitten, secretly looking at Okazaki with curious eyes.

After looking at it carefully for a moment, the whole person came out from behind the wall.

She was wearing an ordinary blue dress with blue and white stripes on the collar and short-sleeved cuffs, and was carrying a small pink schoolbag. On his head is a blue and white striped bonnet. The round and fleshy little face. Staring at Okazaki with wide, shining eyes.

Even if Okazaki doesn't scream, the audience can recognize that this child is his and Nagisa's daughter Xiaoxi.

She has a pair of eyes that exude warmth and healing exactly like Nagisa!

Nagisa's figure gradually overlapped with Xiaoxi's, and the fans suddenly felt sour in their hearts. Obviously nothing had happened yet, but they saw this scene. My eyes became moist involuntarily.

Okazaki and Xiaoxi looked at each other,

After a while, Xiao Xi shrank back behind the wall.

Facing her biological father, Xiao Xi was as nervous as if she were facing a stranger. However, it seemed that because of her curiosity about "father", she had been secretly looking at Okazaki from the side.

Five years have passed. Although in reality Nagisa just passed away last week, to fans, these seven days are as long as five years.

During these five years, Okazaki did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Xiaoxi was completely raised by Sanae and Akio, whether in kindergarten. Or talking about various festivals, Okazaki has been putting all his experiences into work, ignoring Xiaoxi.

Although Sanae often brings Xiao Xi to him, Okazaki has never looked at Xiao Xi.

They are obviously biological father and daughter, but they are like strangers.

Not only did Xiao Xi lose her mother when she was born, she also failed to receive the love of her father. Seeing Xiao Xi curious and eager but carefully hiding half of her body to secretly look at her biological father, it stung the hearts of the audience.

The pent-up anger in the fans' hearts seemed to have found an outlet for Okazaki, but seeing Okazaki's current appearance, the anger was suddenly extinguished. They seemed to understand why Okazaki did this: Nagisa is Okazaki's everything, Nagisa's Leaving made Okazaki lose everything. Xiaoxi and Nagisa looked so similar. Just seeing Xiaoxi made Okazaki think of Nagisa, the happy memories in the past and the sadness after losing everything; at the same time, Nagisa is She died after giving birth to Xiao Xi. Nagisa's body was already weak, and giving birth to a child put a huge burden on her body. It can be said that Nagisa died because of Xiao Xi. Although Okazaki was Xiao Xi's father, Okazaki How will Qi look at Xiao Xi?

Xiaoxi is the crystallization of Okazaki and Nagisa's love and happiness, but she is also the one who takes Okazaki's love and happiness away. It can be said that Xiaoxi is the source of Okazaki's pain at this moment, and he is just a poor person after all.

He has always been stuck on the day Nagisa left. If he cannot get out of the "past", then he will live in pain and sadness for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to give Xiao Xi fatherly love for the rest of his life.

The audience finally understood why Sanae warmly invited Okazaki to go play together, but on the appointed day, she disappeared with Akio, leaving only Okazaki, Xiaoxio, and two tickets.

"Family" and "two tickets", Sanae's move is just to put Okazaki out of pain and to allow Xiaoxio to get her father's love, and she is working hard silently!

Her daughter passed away, and Okazaki also gave Xiao Xi to their care. Not only did Sanae have no complaints or thoughts of blaming Okazaki, she also always silently helped Okazaki and faced Okazaki with the same gentle smile as before. .

Only after you truly understand this subtle touch can you feel its breadth and intensity.

Perhaps it is because of such a mother that she was able to raise a daughter who is weak on the outside but extremely strong on the inside.

Looking at Okazaki, Cao Jun suddenly thought of his father. Although he was about to graduate from elementary school when his mother left, what was his father's mood like when he faced his "ignorant" son?

"Dad, were you like Okazaki in not wanting to see me?" While watching the animation, he saw that his father's cup was empty, and Cao Jun refilled his father's cup with tea.

"It's not because of you that your mother died..." The father picked up the tea cup and blew on it gently, then took a sip, letting the taste of the strong tea reverberate in his mouth, and finally flowed from his throat into his stomach, moistening it. Heart.

"However, you also started to rebel at that time. I know you were sad when your mother passed away, and I was sad too, even more sad than you. Seeing your appearance at that time, I did have the idea that I didn't want to see you. I remember that It was the hardest time I ever hit you. It hurt your body and hurt my heart. I even had the idea of ​​​​getting over it. But I couldn't fall down. I fell down. I'm afraid that when I get down there, I won't be able to see your mother. . In order to have the face to meet your mother in the future, I can give your mother an explanation, so I can’t fall..."

Father spoke slowly.

Following his father's words, Cao Jun seemed to have returned to the days when his mother died when he was still ignorant.

He still remembered the complicated look in his father's eyes, which he couldn't understand at the time.

As long as he doesn't commit any crime, his father will support him for the rest of his life, even if he is messing around.

At this moment, he could understand the power and emotion contained in his father's desperate words when faced with the fact that nothing could make him come back.

As a father, you have the responsibility towards your son;

As a man, you have responsibilities to your family;

As a husband, you have responsibilities towards your wife.

Every responsibility is like a mountain, carried by his father's strong shoulders, sheltering him under his shadow.

However, he was ignorant, but only now did he look back and understand.

Cao Jun picked up the tea and took a sip from the buffalo, letting his tears flow into his stomach along with the tea.

There are a lot of tea leaves, and my father likes to drink strong tea with a lot of tea leaves.

Very bitter and astringent.

But if you taste it carefully with your tongue, the aftertaste is endless, just like life.

When Okazaki asked Xiao Xi to play alone, Xiao Xi fell heavily to the ground face down in front of a step.

The audience all felt heartache for Xiao Xi, but after Okazaki helped Xiao Xi up, Xiao Xi looked like she was about to cry in pain, but she endured it and never cried.

Okazaki's feelings for Xiao Xi were extremely complicated. He didn't want to go on a trip with Xiao Xi alone, but after waiting for a day, neither Sanae nor Qiu Sheng came back.

The two of them completely handed over this rare time to Okazaki and Xiaoxi.

Xiao Xi is not as clingy as other children. She doesn't talk much and gives the impression that she is a boy. However, in just a few scenes, Xiao Xi's sensible and strong appearance left a clear and deep impression on the audience. , people fall in love with her.

Okazaki and Xiaoxi sat in the store, looking boredly at the people walking by outside.

A father walked by holding his child. The child smiled happily, acted coquettishly with his father, and chatted about happy topics.

But Okazaki and Xiao Xi are obviously biological father and daughter, but they are like strangers and have no topic of conversation.

Okazaki glanced at Xiao Xi sideways. Xiao Xi looked at the warm atmosphere of the father and the child outside with bright eyes, full of envy and longing.

Even talking to her father with a smile, acting coquettishly, and chatting about happy topics are all things worthy of envy for Xiao Xi.

"Would you like to travel?"

Okazaki suddenly asked Xiaoxi.

"I want to go!" Xiao Xi said immediately with a longing look on her face.

"Then let's go together," Okazaki said.

"Yes." Xiao Xi nodded in agreement.

"Are you willing? Go with me..."

As a biological father, facing his daughter, Okazaki actually asked her if she would like to travel with him...

How heart-wrenching do these three words "Are you willing" sound?

Xiaoxi smiled happily and embarked on the journey with her father Okazaki.

This is the first time in the past five years since Xiao Xi was born that Okazaki and Xiao Xi have been alone together like this. Every scene, every word, every expression of Xiao Xi makes people's hearts ache and tremble.

The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. Xiao Xi followed her father's figure and walked slowly, then slowly turned into a skipping figure, bringing warmth to the world.

Although Nagisa has left, it is gratifying to see Xiao Xi's current appearance.

The cold that had been frozen for a whole week began to melt with Xiao Xi's jumping and cheerful steps.

The pain that Nagisa's death caused to people's hearts was finally relieved after seeing Xiao Xi's figure. (To be continued...)
