What Fengning said was correct.
Zouna had given up on his desire to drive me away.
He gave me two days of 'paint' as a symbolic token, allowing me to stroll around the city.
Then, I could go to school.
As such, I had escaped a calamity and was able to continue studying in a school that was neither good nor bad.That afternoon, Fengning pulled me out of the classroom, and stood under a large willow tree on campus, "Big sis, you're right.
Nian Yu is your godmother's child."Thank you, Fengning.
Fengning, perhaps you wouldn't know the true purpose of my search wasn't to have you inquire about Nian Yu and Zhiming's relationship.This question had been answered three days ago, and had been confirmed last night.
Last night, they had heard the intense argument between Qiukun and Zhiming.Qiukun asked Zhiming, "What's the name of that child?"Zhiming said, "Nian Yu, don't you know?!"Qiukun said, "Nian Yu, what's your name?
That man, why didn't he bring his child home?"This time, Zhiming fell silent.
Even though he couldn't see Zhiming's face, he could guess that her expression must have been extremely ugly.Qiukun smirked, "Si Tubo, he can't be saying that Nian Yu is someone else's bastard, right?""Shut up!
You're not allowed to tarnish him!" Zhiming stood up and took a deep breath.
His voice was so loud that even standing at the entrance, he could hear it.Qiukun snorted and asked indifferently, "Tell me, what do you want to do?""Let's get divorced.
We're divorced.
We're all fine.
" His tone was faint as he insisted."Everyone's fine.
Speak softly.
What should I do?
What should I do with Qiuyun?" Qiukun cried.
He suppressed his anger and prevented himself from erupting."I admit that I'm sorry to you.
Qiuyun, if you want it, he'll be yours once we divorce.
Qiujing, she's the child I've brought along.
I'll take her away, and I won't bother you."Qiujing, what exactly is her relationship with you?
Qiukun asked in disbelief.Zhiming sneered.
This laughter was filled with mockery."Qiujing is my friend's child, and it has nothing to do with me at all.
You can rest assured about this.
However, what does this have to do with you?"Qiukun cursed, "Scoundrel, flock together."Fengning shook my arm and asked, "Sister, what are you thinking?""Oh, nothing." I calmed down and said, "Fengning, do you think I should make a trip to the orphanage?"She said, "Do you need me to accompany you?"Of course I do!
Fengning, do you know?
This is the real reason why I'm looking for you.
With you by my side, once Zhiming realizes something, I can refuse to admit that Fengning is looking for Nian Yu, not me.I grabbed her arm and said, "Then let's go now."It was my third time at the orphanage.
The guard uncle glanced at us and said, "What?
It's you and the others again?" He became more interested and didn't ask anything else.
He simply opened the door.Nian Yu stood in a daze behind the building, standing next to a plastic shed.
When she saw us, she went up to greet them.I was looking forward to it.
Would he help me?
I couldn't wait to rush to him and asked him happily, "Is your mother Zhiming?""That's right, she's my mother." Nian Yu was still as cold as ice.
"You're Qiujing.
I've seen you before."Have you met me before?"You have an older brother, Qiuyun.""How do you know?""I have seen you many times.
You don't know me.
"It turned out that he knew everything.
He couldn't be blamed for teaching Zhao Qijun a lesson for me the last time!
This was great!
Everyone knew each other, so speaking was easier."If that's the case, do you know that Qiuyun is Zhiming's biological son and that I'm his adopted child?"Nian Yu nodded, "I know.""Then you know --" I looked forward to it.
"Who's my mother?""I don't know." He shook his head, his long hair floating.
He shook away my hope."I know something.
Your mother is Zhiming's best friend.
Perhaps she's a classmate, but she's definitely not a colleague." He gave me a little bit of hope.
Unfortunately, this hope was something I already knew.Fengning, who was standing next to her, looked at us.
She scratched her head and rushed towards Nian Yu, "Since your mother knows, you can ask her about it.
Perhaps she'll tell you.""Zhiming is very strange, so he'll naturally talk about what he wants to say.
If he doesn't want to talk about it, he'll just ask for nothing."Nian Yu directly called out his mother's name, not his mother's.
He was truly a cold and indifferent person.
However, his gaze was strange, and he looked Fengning up and down with sorrowful eyes.Fengning squatted down next to a plastic shed and used his X-ray vision to see what was inside.I entered the plastic shed.
There were a lot of flowers and plants planted there, and the fragrance was thick.
If there was something like this in winter, it would give people a pleasant surprise.At the same time, Nian Yu opened the plastic bag, revealing a wisp of flora and fauna.
Feng Ning smiled at Nian Yu, "Did you cultivate these fragrance grasses?""I like them.
I've cultivated these fragrance plants for so many years." Nian Yu deliberately added some words to the conversation, such as: I like them.
I've liked them for so many years."It's been so many years!" Fengning exclaimed in astonishment.
"Isn't this a red flower, a rattail grass, and a maze fragrance?"This time, Nian Yu's answer was simple: Nod."You made these sheds?" Feng Ning asked as he looked around at the many sheds.Nian Yu nodded coldly."Do you like vanilla?""Are these sheds all these three types of vanilla?""Nian Yu, do you know how monotonous the color of the fragrant grass you've cultivated is?
Also, the way you've cultivated it and the way you've used the soil, the humidity and temperature of the soil aren't quite right either.
The fragrant grass produced by this method of cultivation isn't too good either."Nian Yu was as cold as snow.
Apart from being cold, he didn't say a word.Fengning had been admiring and admiring these fragrance plants with all his might, and hadn't noticed Nian Yu's expression at all.
She stood up and said to Nian Yu, "I see.
Please help Qiujing.
Please go ask Zhiming where Qiujing's mother is.
Then, I'll help cultivate these fragrance plants.
They'll definitely be more lush than they are right now, and the flowers will be bigger, and more fragrant than they are now."How is it?""I've never begged anyone!
Not anyone!
Zhiming included!" Both Fengning and I were shocked."Alright then, I'm sorry!" Fengning apologized first, "Then I'll take back what I just said.
However, I'll help you cultivate these fragrance plants.""There's no need, I don't need it!" Nian Yu said with a hint of warmth in his voice.
"Thank you for your kind intentions.
All I need is a fragrance plant like this."He really is a weirdo!"May I ask you a question?
How do you know how to plant vanilla?""When I was studying abroad, I liked plants, so I learned a class called Flower Cultivation.""You're not from this city?""It's someone from this city.
When I was in first year, daddy sent me abroad.
I only came back in a few days.
""Your father?
Did he treat you well?""Of course it's great.
He's the best daddy." Fengning was at a loss for words.
"Why are you asking this?""I'm sorry." For a short while, Nian Yu was in a daze.
He was just a little kid, so it wasn't easy to detect.
However, even after a short period of time, he couldn't escape my eyes.
Soon, he became normal and cold.
"There's something I need to do here.
Why don't you go back first?""Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person.
Zhiming won't know about your matters."The time she had to return to school was quite enough, just in time for the bell to ring.Along the way, I kept thinking about Nian Yu.
There seemed to be too many similarities between me and him.
A shocking thought appeared in my mind -?Nian Yu and I can't be the same father or mother, right?
Half of us, or perhaps we're all blood-related?But Fengning continued jokingly, "Big sis, no matter how I look at it, I can't help but feel that you and Nian Yu are a pair.""A pair?" What did this pair mean?
It was confusing."That's right, a pair.
In other words, their personalities are very similar.
The most important thing is that you guys have a tacit understanding.""Then tell me, are we siblings?""It's not likely!" she said flatly, confident."Why?""Ah, I can't say for sure.
Think about it, brother and sister.
It can only be said that their appearances and manners are similar.
It's definitely not a tacit understanding between you and Nian Yu.
Your mutual understanding is just like that."The next day at school, Fengning was a little dejected.
He didn't say much for the whole morning.At noon, the other students went to eat, but Fengning didn't.
Instead, he lay down on his desk and slept.When I returned from the canteen, Fengning was still asleep.
I was worried that she would be cold, so I took off my clothes and covered her.
Fang Chao, who was sitting at the same table as her, hadn't returned yet.
His seat was empty, so I sat on Fang Chao's chair and waited for her to wake up.Suddenly, the table moved.
It was a double table.
My body was leaning against the chair, so I was sure that Fengning had woken up.
However, Fengning didn't wake up at all.
Her body was shaking violently.Was she dreaming?I shoved, trying to wake her up.Seemingly awake, Fengning didn't know what was wrong.
She yelled like crazy, and there were cries, piercing hisses: "Ah - no, no.
Help--"She had shouted a lot.
North, south, east, and west, in a mess.
She did not know what kind of dream she had.
As the pronunciation softly minced together, she heard a term: Flowing Sand Court.I was scared out of my wits, and the other students were also shocked.
They didn't know what was going on here, so they all rushed over.
The teacher also ran over.
She quickly helped Fengning up and shouted at me, "Qiujing, what did you do?""I didn't do anything!" I argued.The man who loved to report to the teacher volunteered, "Teacher, Qiujing just hit Fengning.
Fengning was still asleep at that time, and hadn't woken up yet."This time, I didn't try to defend myself, because I had just nudged Fengning.
That was because I wanted to wake her up.
The teacher gave her a fierce glance, "Qiujing, isn't your seat at the back?
What are you doing here?"Fengning ran out of the classroom, crying.
Her hair, face, and neck were covered in sweat.
She was still a child, twelve years old.Zouna accompanied Fengning to the hospital.What exactly happened to Fengning?
Why did Quicksand Court run into her dreams?
It was a nightmare.Today was Wednesday, and there was only one class in the afternoon that would be over.As soon as the school bell rang, I ran out of the classroom and ran all the way to Quicksand Court.The Quicksand Court was simple.
In an open park, there was a pond full of legends.
The water was clear and there were fish, lotus flowers, and prayer bats inside.Qiaosha had told me about this legend, but no one else knew about it.
I had reason to believe that it was Qiaosha who had created a bizarre story and used it to scare me.There was one thing that all the older adults knew that the Quicksand Courtyard had died more than ten years ago, including Zhao Qijun.I crouched, my back to a tree trunk in a daze.Fengning, what can big sister do for you?Wait a minute!
Who is that person?
He seems to be...
Nian Yu?It really was Nian Yu.
Him?
Why did he suddenly run to the Quicksand Court Garden?
Just now, Feng Ning's nightmare had appeared in the Quicksand Court.
At this moment, Nian Yu had also appeared in the Quicksand Court.I really couldn't figure out what sort of connection these two had with each other, and Zhao Qijun.
Did they meet by chance, or...?He was really a little flustered.Nian Yu lowered his hands and clenched his fists.
The cold wind ruffled his long hair, causing a cold chill to rise up.
He was like an ice statue, searching for some kind of imprint.I slowly walked toward Nian Yu.
I didn't know if it was because he had overheard Yu Minjie's words, or if it was as Fengning had said.
I had some sort of tacit understanding with Nian Yu.
He seemed to know that there was someone behind me, and he also knew that it was me.
Naturally, he turned around and asked, "Why are you here?""Why can't I?" These words sounded a little explosive.
That was because Zhao Qijun's matter was still lingering in my mind.
I would use caution and resistance to counterattack, so as to protect my inner turmoil.
"Why are you here as well?""Me?" Nian Yu sighed as he followed the rows of withered leaves, looking for something.
"Find some clues.""Find clues?""Yes, we're looking for clues.
If we find clues, we can get a lot of money.
Xiao Xiao may still be saved.""Xiao Xiao?"?Is Nian Yu's brother or sister?
Or is he a friend?"Xiao Xiao is an orphan.
His parents have left.
He is my best friend."I believed I could guess what it meant to leave."Is Xiao Xiao sick?""Yes, a very serious illness.
He needs money, bone marrow transplant, hundreds of thousands.""So many?
But, how can you have money with clues?""When I was six or seven years old, I saw a person kill someone with my own eyes.
It was here, Quicksand Court.
He was a very wealthy person.
With evidence or clues, I could ask him for a sum of money."As soon as he finished speaking, snowflakes started to fall from the sky.
I was a little cold, my body was cold, and my heart was cold.
Apart from the snowflakes and the northern wind, there was also his words.
When he said these words, his expression was even more angry, desperate, and reckless.
It was really frightening.Death had taken root in my blood when I was a child.
How many times I danced with death, how many times I listened to the melody of death.
If one day the death really approached me, I would welcome it without fear, so I was not afraid of death.."Qiujing, I'm really sorry.
Recently, I've had to take good care of Xiao Xiao, and I can't do anything else.
I can't help you find your mummy.
If I'm done in a hurry..." Xiao Xiao fell into a stupor of sadness.
If Xiao Xiao was diagnosed with a terminal illness, the meaning of 'acting swiftly' wouldn't be any more obvious."When Xiao Xiao doesn't need anyone to take care of her anymore, I'll accompany you to find mummy.
"Soon, I saw the little child.He was smarter than I was, and knew many strange things.
He liked to paint on the grass with a stick, and he said that his parents were both painters, teaching in the gallery.
He also liked to talk fairy tales and talk about things he knew.The little head was taller than I was, and the face was paler as well.
And there was one more thing: Xiao Xiao was bald, and not a hair.
They said that Xiao Xiao didn't have long hair, and the blood-making machine in his body was broken: Leukemia.Xiao Xiao was as old as me and was also 13 years old.We were the same, and he was looking for his mother and father.
But his father and mother were gone, and he would never see them again.Nian Yu said that Xiao Xiao didn't cry.
As for the reason, Nian Yu didn't know very well.
Xiao Xiao didn't say anything.Nian Yu said that whenever it was dusk, Xiao Xiao would stare at the red sun for a long time and mutter to himself, "Mommy, daddy, I saw them.
They waved at me, and I'm going to see my parents."Then, Xiao Xiao mumbled, "This place is too far away from Sunset City.
Only when you die and turn into a wisp of smoke, the wind will blow and you will reach Sunset City.
At that time, their entire family will be reunited.
"I guessed that Xiao Xiao didn't cry because she missed her parents.
As long as she died, she would be able to see them with a wisp of smoke.The problem was, didn't they say that they didn't know anything when they died?
At that time, he would still be able to recognize who his parents were?Perhaps, he would!She didn't know who had said that parents would always recognize their children, and their children would also be able to recognize their parents.
This kind of recognition wasn't the similarity in appearance, but the feeling in the heart.At night, I used my home phone to call Feng Ning's phone.
Every time, her phone was switched off.This was driving people crazy.
Just what was going on with her today?
Why did she suddenly have nightmares and even call out the name of Quicksand Court?
She must have some sort of relationship with Quicksand Court.
Nian Yu glanced at Fengning, and even asked about something strange.
He must know something.I only knew that I had overlooked Fengning.
Since I'd met Nian Yu today, why didn't I ask him about Fengning's situation?Qiujing, you really are shameless!Fengning treated me so well.
How could I be so selfish and cold?!
Fengning was my only friend and confidante.
Even if I couldn't help him, I still had to shoulder some of her pain.I made the final call.
If my phone was switched off again, I would go to the orphanage to look for Nian Yu and ask him about the situation.
The most reassuring thing to me was to go straight to Fengning's house and find her.
After some deliberation, I gave up on this idea.
Outsiders in her house couldn't easily get in.
Fengning's phone couldn't be connected, and I didn't know her parents.
How could I get in?!The last phone call was still switched off.Thus, I put on my shabby coat and ran toward the orphanage.At this moment, at around six o'clock in the evening, although the sky was dark, there was still a faint light, the street lamp was just on, and there was also a clear white snow on the road.
Therefore, the area visible to the naked eye was very wide and very clear.When they reached the entrance of the orphanage, they almost bumped into the same person: Zhiming.I didn't know which street Zhiming came out from.
He came out of the orphanage and just happened to walk into the orphanage.She didn't have any expression.
She was very calm.
She pulled the snow on my head with her hand."Is it cold?" she asked.
I didn't dare to say anything out of worry.
She smiled and touched my face with her hand, but she actually kissed me, the first time, the first time.
The first time she kissed me.She placed a KFC near my boss.
Since it was snowing, there weren't many people inside.
We chose a quiet place to sit down."Xiaojing, tell me, why are you looking for Ningyu?"She knew everything.
Although she had already expected this and had already drawn up an incomplete set of explanations, her heart was still pounding nervously.I wanted to tell her that Fengning was looking for Nian Yu, and that I was only accompanying him to meet Nian Yu.When these words reached the corners of my mouth and the first word jumped out, my mind was reassembled.
This was an old practice that didn't match the age of thirteen, and it was a wise and calculating judgement.Wouldn't Zhiming accept that?
After all, Zhiming was my only hope.
Without her, I would lose everything.Even if Zhiming knew that it was a lie, he would still have to choose a lie that would make her happy.
My mind was racing, and I would have to choose the most appropriate one out of dozens of reasons and hundreds of reasons.
I would also have to choose one that was the most intimate to Zhiming's emotions.Soon, I found a way to make Zhiming feel warm and gentle.
I didn't know that the person closest to me and who loved me the most would fall into my trap.
Was this the right way to do it?
My heart ached.
Although I also had the pleasure of winning, it was only three points.Three points of pleasure, seven points of pain.Do I have the freedom and leeway to choose today?In all honesty, Zhiming treated me really well.
She raised me and taught me how to behave.
However, what she gave me wasn't what I wanted.Zhiming, no matter what happened and how Qiujing would become in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness.Unknowingly, I owed many people a debt of gratitude.
Zhiming, Qiuyun, Fengning, and even my father, Qiukun.
Qiukun often beat and scolded me, but after all, he had raised me for thirteen years.
Thirteen years, a long and arduous period.How am I supposed to repay so much kindness?!I told Zhiming, "Because I want to find my own mother."It was clear that Zhiming's face was a little dark.
She rubbed her hands uncomfortably."Tell me your reasons!
Why?
Zhiming didn't show much emotion, but rather, he remained calm and natural.
His expression didn't change at all."Mom, I just want to ask you in front of my mother.
Why did she give birth to me and abandon me like weeds?
I didn't know anything when I was young, but now that I've grown up, I have my own understanding.
Mom, Nian Yu is your flesh and blood.
No matter how much you suffer, you will still care about him and raise him.But, my biological mother, how could she not be as noble as you?
How could she not even meet her face?
Even if she was in trouble, she should at least let her own child know who her mother was."..."I did as I wished.
Zhiming had indeed restrained her unhappiness.
She closed her eyes and pulled me into her arms.
I could feel her warmth.In the warmth, I felt a faint sense of fear.
The one who was terrified was me.
A thirteen-year-old girl, who was originally pure and flawless, was full of beautiful and innocent years.
It was this pure age that I was able to understand a person's thoughts and weaknesses so thoroughly."Xiaojing, do you hate your birth mother?"I didn't answer, not because I didn't know how to answer, but because I wanted to leave a 13 year old innocence and cleanness."Xiaojing, if you hate your own mother, I won't blame you.
I believe your mother won't blame you either.
Xiaojing, you know when a mother is vulnerable and vulnerable.
She's pregnant with her own child.
For some reason, she can't help but kill this child.
However, she can't bear to let it go.If she didn't do it, she would have to bear too much pressure and it would be unfair to the child.
She could always hear the baby in her belly telling her to love her.
Please don't hurt me.Zhiming cried and then smiled, crying and laughing helplessly.
"Xiaojing, you'll understand when you grow up and become a mother..."Zhiming was very happy that night.
Apart from being happy, he also felt guilty.
Human beings were truly complex creatures.She led me to a large and high-end shopping mall and immediately bought a lot of clothes.
They were all branded and expensive.
In fact, our family didn't lack money.
Zhiming was a famous gynecologist, and his income was quite impressive.
Qiukun was a designer with great artistic talent and a considerable amount of income.However, they had been making a lot of noise in recent years, and Qiukun had been drinking and making trouble all day, so he had given up on his favorite design.Zhiming bought two sets of clothes.
The bigger one was for herself, and the smaller one was for her.I noticed that there was a very special set of clothes.
The collar was furry, accompanied by a warm towel.
The towel was orange, bright, and warm.Zhiming squatted down and straightened my collar."Do you know why Mommy didn't buy you clothes?"I shook my head.
I really wanted to know this question.
When Zhiming was buying clothes for Qiuyun, he definitely wouldn't buy one for me."From frugal to luxurious, from luxurious to frugal..."Before she could finish, I nodded.
She smiled knowingly and patted my head lightly, muttering to herself, "Ay, I've really grown up.""Xiaojing, I don't want you to be like your mother, vain, cold, and heartless.
That way, many people will be hurt.
Do you understand?"I nodded strongly.
"I understand!""You are a very talented child.
With your own hard work, you can still fight for your own territory.
Don't rely on others, and don't become someone else's vassal.
"With her own hard work, she had to have some conditions.
If it was just for wealth, then I could wait until I was 20 or 30 years old.
Even if I was 40 years old, I wouldn't be in a hurry to find my mother.
But what I wanted wasn't that.Feng Ning's English was so good, the piano had already surpassed level ten.
She knew many, many, many enviable experiences.I am already thirteen years old.
If I continue to live like this, I will never be able to surpass Fengning.The vanity in Zhiming's mouth was the blood of my life.
Without blood, my life would stop.No matter what, I was still happy that I had new clothes.
At night, when I arrived home, I turned on the lights in my room and stood in front of a mirror to admire my new clothes.
I really didn't recognize myself.
I took out my old pictures.
Compared to today's photo, one was black coal ball and the other was a beautiful swan.This transformation was too great.
Thinking of the day when Feng Ning recognized me at a glance, it was really warm.However, I didn't know that my beauty and these beautiful clothes came at an untimely time.
They would burn my skin, leaving me covered in scars.......
