Rebirth of the Father of Anime

"Xiao Xi has never met her mother, right?"

Fengzi and Xiaoxi became friends, and when they came to play with Xiaoxi, Fengzi suddenly asked Okazaki.

This question was originally a sad topic, but when Fengzi asked it suddenly, it didn't seem abrupt. If Okazaki has not come out of that shadow, I am afraid that even Fuko, Okazaki will give him an angry roar.

But for Xiaoxi, Okazaki had cheered up again. In response to Fengzi's sudden question, Okazaki smiled calmly and said, "Well, I've only seen what he looks like in photos."

No matter how painful, how sad, how unwilling to face it, Nagisa will never come back.

But Nagisa left, and Xiao Xi stayed. For Xiao Xi, he must cheer up, not escape, and give Xiao Xi happiness. This is a father’s mission and a husband’s mission.

"But I heard dad say a lot of things!" Xiao Xi interjected.

In the past, when others mentioned father and mother, they were very, very distant and unfamiliar words to Xiao Xi. She can't feel the sweetness, happiness and happiness of others at all.

But now she has a "father."

Although she still has not met her mother, she has heard many stories about her mother from her father's mouth.

For her, as long as she can hear her mother's stories, she is happy and happy. The ethereal image of the mother also became substantial in the father's words.

This is her little warmth. Small, simple and unpretentious.

When others talk about her parents, she is no longer at a loss. She can happily share the stories of her "parents" in her world with people.

Therefore, Xiao Xi's expression was very happy. I am happy that I can tell my "mother's story".

"What kind of person is your mother?" Fengzi smiled and then asked.

"Let me think about it," Xiao Xi poked the corner of her mouth, raised her eyes, thinking about the story her father once told her about her mother, "She is a very crybaby..."

Suddenly, many scenes of Nagisa crying flashed through.

These scenes are like a key, opening the audience's tear box.

Nagisa is a very crybaby. Because she is very kind and gentle. She will shed tears of emotion because of the stories of many others, she will also shed tears of self-blame because her own problems drag everyone down, and she will shed tears of happiness because she can be with Okazaki.

"But I worked very hard to give birth to Xiao Xi..."

Xiaoxi's words lead people's memories through time and space. The day came that brought great pain to countless people.

That day, Nagisa left this world.

That day, Xiao Xi came to this world.

That day, Nagisa's weak voice echoed throughout the world - It's okay, I will definitely give birth to Xiao Xi, and I will live with Okazaki and Xiao Xi.

That is the greatest maternal love.

"Also, he is someone that dad likes very much!"

Nagisa and Okazaki met on the cherry blossom slope. Okazaki helped Nagisa establish the drama club. After being in love for a long time, he confessed to Nagisa. After graduation, he started to fight for their happy life and got married to Nagisa...

It was a blurry scene that was already in the ocean of memory. Suddenly it came out clearly from the depths of my mind.

The final scene is fixed on Nagisa's gentle, sweet, angelic smile.

The picture becomes blurry.

It was tears that moistened the eyes.

Nagisa's life continues in Xiao Xi's body.

The pain caused by Nagisa was healed by Xiao Xi!

If this story is a beautiful lullaby, then people would hope that this melody would last forever.

happiness. It came suddenly and went away suddenly.

On a happy day. This happened so suddenly and caught people off guard - Xiao Xi was sick.

The disease is exactly the same as Nagisa, but no cause can be found. The doctor said that maybe the body will be like Nagisa in the future.

Like Nagisa?

what does that mean.

Does that mean Xiao Xi is going to die too?

What a joke!

The stunned fans couldn't recover for a long time. They finally got over Nagisa's sadness and were finally healed by Xiaoxi's happiness. But now they have to tell them that Xiaoxi is leaving too?

How could they accept it!

"It won't be like this! Nothing will happen to Xiao Xi. I think this is a joke. Well, it's an April Fool's Day joke. Didn't you see that April Fool's Day is coming soon? The master must have made it deliberately to joke with everyone. , Xiao Xi has just received this happiness, how could he leave so easily?"

"The happiness that Xiaoxi finally got, and Okazaki finally got out of the shadow of Nagisa's departure, but they have to take it all away! It's so cruel."

Stubborn fans are just like Okazaki, escaping from everything and unwilling to face it.

They firmly believe that this is an April Fool's Day joke - you see, don't many big companies often do some big activities for "April Fool's Day"? Especially in such a creative industry, sometimes there will even be April Fool's Day special topics.

However, He Chen didn't leave them any time to think too much.

Because the animation is being broadcast, and the story here does not need to wait, one episode can tell them the answer.

If it is comics, novels, etc., the length of each article is limited, leaving fans countless time to think, allowing them enough time to choose to accept or not accept (abandon the book), which can not only brew emotions in contemplation will be more intense, but will also soften the "sudden outburst".

But animation does not. Live TV broadcasts without pauses. Under the beautiful BGM, gorgeous pictures and wonderful interpretations of dubbing, every method is used to attract the attention of the audience, without giving them time to brew. All the emotions crashed onto them like an avalanche.

And all they could choose was to watch helplessly as the avalanche submerged them as if the world was collapsing.

In film and television. All the rhythms have to be followed by the director.

The same is true in animation.

And here it is. Everyone has to follow He Chen's rhythm.

From heaven to hell, one episode is enough!

Xiao Xi's condition never improved. She couldn't even go out, let alone go to kindergarten. In order to better take care of Xiao Xi and accompany Xiao Xi, Okazaki quit his job.

Xiao Xi has been living at home. Although I considered sending her to the hospital, I decided not to go. Xiao Xi's illness diagnosis was not as good as any cause. If the cause could not be found, there would be no way to formulate a treatment. Without a treatment, going to the hospital would be of no use.

at home. A warm environment is much better than the pale everything in the hospital and the smell of disinfectant.

And more importantly, Xiao Xi wants to stay at home.

I still remember that when Xiao Xi even went to the toilet, she would always report to Okazaki, "I did it alone!"

At first I felt pitiful for Xiao Xi's lonely behavior, and also felt cute.

However, now it feels like a depressing life is about to disappear.

Xiao Xi can no longer change clothes alone, nor can she go to the toilet alone, and she can only eat food that is not too hard. Okazaki stays with Xiao Xi all day long. I prayed in my heart that Xiao Xi would get better soon.

"Xiao Xi, is there anything you want?" Okazaki forced a smile.

As long as there is something he can do for Xiao Xi, Okazaki will try it.

Lying in bed. There was a promise of dumplings next to her. Although she was sick and extremely weak, she still looked at her father with a smile full of happiness.

Xiao Xi shook her head. What she wanted most was her father. But now that she's got it, there's nothing more she could ask for.

"Just tell me if you have any. Whether it's toys or food, no matter what it is, I will buy it for you." Okazaki said softly.

Xiao Xi blinked her eyes, thought about it seriously, and suddenly said: "I want to travel."

She wanted to travel... She also wanted to take another trip with her father.

Xiao Xi only went on a trip with her father once, the only time in her life and the most unforgettable one.

"That kind of thing is not happy at all. My father has a bad temper and will yell." Okazaki thought of the train, because the noise at other people's homes reminded him of the painful memories of Nagisa. The yelling frightened Xiao Xi, who hid in the toilet on the train and cried secretly.

The only places where I can cry are in the toilet and in my father's arms.

At that time, she could not get "daddy's arms" and could only find the toilet.

It was definitely not a perfect trip, full of regrets, regrets and tears.

But for Xiao Xi, that trip was the most unforgettable and happiest trip - that trip allowed her to get her father.

"I'm very happy. I also want to travel, take the tram, and be with my father..."

These are Xiao Xi's most sincere words. Okazaki said he would go when she recovers.

"I want to go now." This was the first time that Xiao Xi was "ignorant".

It's not offensive, but rather sad.

"Xiao Xi, don't embarrass dad, okay?" Okazaki's throat seemed to be blocked by a stone. Every time he spoke, he had to use all his strength to let his breath lift the stone and make a sound.

Sanae and Akio also gave Okazaki a lot of help, but Xiaoxi's body was still gradually weakening, with no signs of improvement.

It was another winter, and Xiaoxi made another request to Okazaki: "I want to travel...with my father."

This was her everlasting wish.

As if he had a premonition of something, Okazaki couldn't resist Xiao Xi's request and agreed to her.

After Xiaoxi was neatly dressed, Okazaki and Xiaoxi went out.

"Are you okay? Xiao Xi, if you really feel uncomfortable, you must tell me and I will take you to see a doctor." Okazaki warned Xiao Xi earnestly.

Cold snowflakes fall leisurely from the sky.

On the day Nagisa left, it was also snowing in the sky. Whether it was in the animation or in reality, the doubt in people's hearts was that it was snowing heavily.

The heavy snow covered the ground with a pure white carpet, and Xiao Xi left small but strong footprints on it.

The journey had just started when Xiaoxi suddenly collapsed and fell into Okazaki's arms.

"Dad...favorites it the most."

"Dad also likes Xiao Xi the most." Okazaki choked up and said.

Xiao Xi had a happy smile on her face, closed her eyes, and hung her arms weakly.

Pictures of Xiao Xi flashed through people's dull eyes, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

This year, people experienced the warmest winter.

It also ushered in the coldest spring. (To be continued)
