When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Vosia, the school bell rang as scheduled. I picked up my bag and slowly walked towards the school gate. There was a silver-white car waiting for me. I opened the door and got in without hesitation. Then, the car sped away.
Soon, the car stopped in front of his house. I got out of the car and straightened my wrinkled skirt. I took my bag and pushed open the big iron door.
"You're back?" Her father's voice came from the courtyard.
I looked up and saw my father lying on a rattan chair. A peach tree in the courtyard shrouded him in its shade. A gentle breeze blew past, and the leaves of the peach tree swayed gently, making a rustling sound.
"Yes." I responded faintly and then walked into the house without looking back.
"It's been two years, and you still haven't sat down with me. Do we really have nothing to say?" Dad's words made me stop in my tracks.
I raised my head and closed my eyes, trying not to think about those unpleasant things. I took a deep breath and turned around mechanically, waiting for him to continue.
At this moment, Aunt Julia walked out of the house. When he saw me, he smiled at me and handed me a small stool. He pouted at me and gestured for me to sit over.
Glancing at my father's calm face, I frowned and took the stool. Then, I reluctantly sat down in the shade of the tree. After seeing my actions, Dad didn't say anything, nor did he let me sit with him under the shade of the tree.
"Look, the sunset today is so beautiful!”Dad pointed at the sky and said for no reason.
Following the direction of my father's finger, I saw the sunset that I had never noticed before. The lazy setting sun had an intoxicating red color, hiding in the same fiery red sunset. Even so, the setting sun that revealed half of its face could not be ignored. Just like…Yin Xiche. Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Do you know how long it has been since I last saw you smile in front of me?”Hearing my father's words, the smile on my face disappeared and I didn't say anything.
Looking at me, who was pursing her lips and not saying a word, Dad continued,"Two years and twelve days. I haven't seen you smile since Yin Xiche left. Even if you smiled, that smile was only shallow and did not go deep into your eyes.”
I was stunned for a moment, but I still didn't say anything.
Shaking his head, his father looked at the sky and changed the topic." Are you leaving after tomorrow's graduation ceremony?
I looked at the sunset sky again and replied,"Yes, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."
"The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it's close to dusk. I finally understand what you mean." His father laughed at himself." Go. This is not your heaven, and there are no angels here. Do whatever you want to do!"
I looked at my father strangely, but he just closed his eyes and ignored me. Looking at his father who was acting a little strange, a feeling of parting rose in his heart.
The breeze was still blowing gently, not only blowing over the peach tree, but also blowing up the white hair hidden in his father's thousands of black hair. Time was ruthless. The sunset was beautiful, but it could not stop the night from opening. And now, after closing his eyes, his father was still old.
Listening to my father's even breathing, I went back to the house and took a thin blanket, gently covering him. This action made me feel that my hatred for him wasn't as deep as before.
At this moment, he wasn't the wily Principal Vosia, and I wasn't the Ai Hanyou who lived with hatred. At this moment, we are just an ordinary father and daughter watching the sunset. He is Qin Yongxian, and I am Qin Yuqing.
