Because of her concern for Ding Manman, Xu Yanqing decided to ask her what was going on.
In order not to disturb his grandmother’s rest, Xu Yan sent Ding Manman to the yard and sat down on a chair by the garden. He asked, “What are you doing here? Where’s your family?”
Ding Manman was a little embarrassed when she was asked about such an embarrassing matter, but when she read the words, Xu Juan was so enthusiastic to entertain her. Ding Manman said frankly, “I already said that I’m here to study art. Now I’m helping my teacher repair murals in the church.”
Before this, he was curious why there was still a light on next door as if someone was inside. It turned out that it was Ding Manman. Thinking about how he had been missing this little girl for so long, it turned out that she was in such a wonderful place where she was separated by a wall.
“Since it’s repairing the murals, why do you have to make yourself so hard? I think you’ve been used to the time difference here for so long. It’s not good for your body to stay up late.” Xu Xu clearly looked at Ding Manman’s haggard appearance. When they first met, this girl was still a very cute baby-faced youth. Now that they met again, they were wearing a thin and charming aura. How could such a change not be heartbroken?
When she was asked, Ding Manman was stunned. Should she reveal her background so quickly? After all, the two of them were strangers, but the other person was such a pure and pure boy. If he hid anything, would he have any feelings for him?
After thinking about it, Ding Manman had already delayed the relationship between the two men, Zhong Shaoting and Fang Hao. If this boy misunderstood her again, she would be too green tea.
After thinking about it over and over again, Ding Manman said, “I’m honest with you. I’ve already gotten pregnant. I’ve decided to raise this child myself, and my actions violate the faith of Buddhism, so I can only work at night.”
When he heard this, Xu Juan was stunned for a moment. He could even say that his heart ached.
Why did a girl with a child come here alone? She must have suffered a lot, but even so, she didn’t give up on her life. It was obvious how strong this little girl was.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Yan actually wanted to ask some questions about the child’s father, but he held back. He was just an outsider. What kind of story did he dig into a little girl’s heart so deeply?
But to be honest, in many traditional views, girls no longer have that layer of touch called dirty, let alone pregnant someone else’s child. However, in Xu Yan’s eyes, Ding Manman was still as pure as the jasmine that he planted in his family.
Out of such pity, Xu Juan said clearly, “Since that’s the case, you should come to my house during the day. I guess you won’t live in this town for too long. I can still afford this meal. If you really have a conscience, draw a few paintings for me. After you become famous, I will sell it out.”
Ding Manman wasn’t an idiot. Of course, she could tell that Xu Juan’s real purpose was to help her. She originally wanted to reject it, but thinking about the baby in her stomach, she might not have eaten anything recently. Even her pregnancy sickness reaction was about to disappear. If this continued, she was really worried that her fragile life would be gone.
As her mother, she was just the first one, while Ding Manman was curving to save the country. Her face was thicker and she smiled and agreed, “Thank you, I’m really at ease with my artistic standards. I’ll definitely thank you with a few more paintings.”
Anyway, there was still 20, 000 yuan in China to buy it. Ding Manman received a discount, and she would pay 10, 000 yuan as a meal fee.
Seeing that Ding Manman agreed, Xu Juan finally put down the big stone hanging on his chest and asked gently, “If possible, can I be your brother?”
“Why?” Ding Manman asked in confusion. Although she was very grateful for Chengze taking her as her stepdaughter, she would not agree to all those who came out to recognize her.
Xu Xu lowered her eyes and her clean face was stained with sadness. She said, “I have never known who my parents are since I was young. I grew up in the orphanage. My grandma is bored alone, so I let my emigrated adoptive parents adopt me to accompany Grandmother.”
When she heard this story, Ding Manman felt a pain in her heart. She remembered that her twin sister had also been separated from her parents since she was young. Although her parents were not good to girls, they were still more reliable than having no parents.
“When I was at the orphanage, I had a particularly cute little sister. I played with her every day until I was taken away. I thought she could leave with me, but she stayed. Up until now, I really wanted a sister.”
Actually, when he said this, Xu Juan wanted to slap himself. Although he remembered a girl who played very well when he was young, he did not have such deep feelings. The only reason he said this was to stay behind Ding Manman to further improve her relationship with him. When he thought about how he lied, his face started to turn red.
Unknowingly, Xu Juan felt his heart beat rapidly. He was a seven feet man who rarely lied, but he seemed to have said a lie today…
Just as Xu Xu was clear about her heart-throbbing and integrity, Ding Manman’s answer ended the entanglement. She heard Ding Manman say seriously, “Memories are irreplaceable. You have to remember your little friends well. I can’t replace them, but I can be your good friend.”
Even though Xu Juan did not get such a tragic answer, Xu Juan felt that his heart was empty. It was as if he had lost something and was unable to make up for it.
After the two of them transmigrated into the garden, Ding Manman was really happy. She only felt beautiful when she saw the flowers before, but she never thought that there would be such a romantic flower language. However, after being introduced once, she gained a lot of knowledge, so that she hoped to record all the beautiful things in her spare time.
At night, when it was time for Ding Manman to take over the job of consoling Hansen, Xu Yanting took the initiative to send Ding Manman back. He even took care of the lunch box with a bowl of hot soup and some dishes.
Ding Manman held the lunch box and was determined to persevere here.
