It was probably because I had been feeling this happy for the past seven years. The child was beside me, and I watched him run and hop along with the candied fruit in his hand, so happy, so at ease.

"Slow down!"

Other than buying him ice cream, he picked up the physiological hygiene kit beside the chewing gum and looked at it curiously.

… ….

The position of this thing is not scientific at the moment. How can it be placed with chewing gum? The packaging was so similar, it was hard to not be misunderstood …

I was at a loss for an answer.

The boss was quite kind, so he opened his mouth first.

"Little brother, if your mother wants to give you a little brother, then we can't use this with your father."

… ….

What kind of bullsh * t explanation was this!

I blushed. I could tell that this boss was not a proper boss with just one look …

"Ninety-nine, we're home."

He put it back in his boss's hand, smiling, but with a sad look in his eyes.

"Boss, I don't know where my parents are."

I felt a pang in my heart.

I hesitated for a long time before leaving with 99.

When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they could not help but squat down and ask him.

"Jiu Jiu, Auntie will be your mother, will you be happy?"

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Auntie, do you know what Mom's definition is?"

Being suddenly asked like this, I was at a loss for what to do.

"What?"

"If you become a mother of 99, you can never abandon 99. You can't abandon 99."

So that's how it is...

This little fellow, just talk the same way.

"Idiot." I rubbed his head. "Since I took you away from the orphanage, I definitely won't give you up. Even more so, I can't leave you behind."

"That's good!" He raised his small hand. There were only two hawthorn stalks left on the candied fruits.

"One for each of us!"

I leaned over and bit one of them down. Sugar entered my heart.

Blood relations must be the most magical relationship in this world. Unknowingly, it was inevitable that those relationships would be intertwined with love.

I continued on my way, but I did not expect to meet an old acquaintance.

"Lu Weian?"

I was looking at Jiujiu wiping his mouth when I heard someone call me and looked up suspiciously.

"Fang Wu?"

I didn't expect to meet her here.

She had changed, matured a lot, and aged a lot. She no longer had the arrogance she had when she was eighteen. She no longer had the thick makeup on her face. Even her clothes were no longer as exquisite as before.

I looked at her, and of course I wondered who had caused her to become like this.

She was chased out of the Mu City by Mu Huainan. When she left, I still remember the way she gritted her teeth.

I thought she still hated me and subconsciously wanted to take 99 with her.

I can't afford to offend someone like that right now.

"I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

When I finally made it upstairs, I thought I'd gotten rid of her, but I didn't expect to meet her again in the hallway.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What a coincidence, we are neighbors."

"Ugh …" "It's indeed quite a coincidence."

I opened the door and took 99 into the room, dodging her like a thief, and quickly closed the door.

"Who is that?" Jiu Jiu asked me.

"A former friend."

I packed up my things, and the newly bought battery was installed on the remote control of the TV set. This kind of old LCD TV, unlike the old one, can be controlled by wireless networks.

As I cleaned up, I thought about how my neighbor was actually Fang Wu. My enmity with her had started from high school, and now that I've brought 99%, I don't have Mu Huainan to support me. Otherwise … He might as well move.

But I'm not familiar with this place, and moving is not easy for me.

As he was still in a daze, he heard the sound of a door opening …

Opening the door, he saw that it was actually Fang Wu.

"This is...?"

She held a box of crackers and smiled at me.

"This is something I made by hand. I saw you take the child and bring it for him to taste."

Facing Fang Wu, I am both cautious and cautious.

"This …"

Seeing my hesitation, she couldn't help but laugh. "What? Are you afraid that I'll poison a child? I'm bad. It can't be that bad. "

Hearing her say this, I felt a little guilty. After not seeing her for so many years, it didn't seem fair to look at her like that.

Jiu Jiu really liked that box of biscuits. It was probably because he had stayed in the orphanage for a long time. Any little thing could make him especially happy.

I regret not having picked him up earlier.

Jiu Jiu seemed to like Fang Wu a lot. Fang Wu was no longer as arrogant and despotic as before. She was now a mature woman.

Kids are always the most sensitive. I thought that since Jiu Jiu didn't hate her, maybe she really didn't have any enmity on her, so I shouldn't continue to look at her like before.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Fang Wu looked at the child and asked me, "He … It should be Mu Huainan's. "

I started.

"His profile is just too similar to when Mu Huainan was young."

I don't remember how Mu Huainan looked when she was young, but because she lost that memory, Fang Wu remembered that she was the one who fell in love with Mu Huainan since she was young.

It wasn't strange to remember his appearance.

"How could Mu Huainan bear to let you two live in this kind of house?"

Fang Wu's question made me a little embarrassed, so I had no choice but to tell her.

"He doesn't know about this child."

Fang Wu was startled.

He seemed to understand it very quickly.

"News that the entire web was discussing a while ago. I've read a little about the story between you and Mu Huainan seven years ago." Fang Wu said, "That child was real. Moreover, he was saved, right?"

I didn't answer, silence even if it meant acquiescence.

She probably guessed my current predicament, I didn't think that she would actually so straightforwardly share the story of the past few years with me.

"After I left the Mu City, my parents angrily ignored me."

She smiled as if the story from back then was a joke. The current her didn't really care that much anymore.

"They think that it's my fault for being insensible and causing the company to fall apart, and their lifetime efforts have gone blank. My dad thinks that it's all my fault, and he even said that he didn't want his daughter. Up till now, I haven't seen much of them."

"Do you know where they live?"

Fang Wu nodded.

"They are all in the same city. One lives in the most eastern corner, while the other lives in the most western end."

Just like two enemies living in the same house.

"Later on, I met my current husband. He was a teacher of the people. His name was Chemistry, and he was in a daze, but he treated me well with all his might."

I listened, helping 99 peel an apple to eat.

"Later on, I saw through everything. For people like Mu Huainan, I could only watch from afar, I only needed to get a little closer, and it would feel really painful when I was burned by his flames. I have been in pain so many times, why do I have to continue swimming in this muddy water?

I listened to her quietly life in the little bits, suddenly to her, left only envy.

Her husband loved her dearly, and her children were filial. She was the one who was the most comfortable to talk about.

Fang Wu continued.

He never loved to bother with me since he was young. I was so proud, but someone who my father had pampered to the heavens suddenly came along with a little boy as cold as him, so I must have been paying more attention to him. Unknowingly, I actually treated him as my love.

As she spoke, she found it laughable. "Back then, I was really insensible. I actually did so many wrong things just for that inexplicable feeling."

As I fed him apples, I also didn't want to avoid Fang Wu's words. I felt that since we were going to depend on each other for our lives, then I shouldn't hide anything from him.

Whether he listened or not, at least he would understand these words one day.

Fang Wu looked at ninety nine, and suddenly sighed.

"I've seen those rewards. To be honest, I admire you quite a bit."

I laughed dryly.

"What's there to admire about me?"

"In this world, you are the only one who is qualified to stand by Mu Huainan's side."

Fang Wu continued: "You have suffered so much for him, suffered so many sins for him, so it's worth it to enjoy the love of this man, who is outstanding enough in the entire world. "However..." She paused, "I know Mu Huainan's viciousness the best. If it wasn't for you pleading for me for me at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to leave the Mu City alive. "So this child …" Fang Wu sighed deeply, "I know the reason why you brought him away from Mu City."

As I listened to her words, many memories welled up in my mind, and I choked. I looked up at the ceiling and swallowed the sour taste in my throat.

"There are many things that cannot be helped."

She leaned over and gently took my hand.

"You're already a mother. I understand the feelings in your heart, but you have to persevere. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you can't let it go. After all, you have a little Jiu Jiu right now."

I nodded slightly.

"I know."

"Do you have a cigarette?"

I asked her suddenly.

Fang Wu was startled.

"How do you know I smoke?" She took a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and offered me one. "I've been smoking for seven years."

Since it's not convenient to stay here, Fang Wu and I went to the balcony, closed the glass door and lit up two cigarettes.

I haven't smoked in a long time.

When I learned to smoke, I remembered that it was abroad, and that was when I learned many things. Afterwards, Mu Huainan had raised me, and I wasn't even allowed to wear high heels, much less touch a cigarette.

I took a deep breath and puffed. After so many years, the first transition was over.

She and I leaned against the railing of the balcony. We were wearing thin clothes and the wind was blowing cold. We were thinking about the rebellious high school girl.

Time seemed to have returned to those days. That would have been so small, so rebellious.

"I remember that during the time of my rebellion, I was addicted to cigarettes and could not be stopped. Otherwise, Mu Huainan would have smoked and there would be a way for him to teach me a lesson every time, causing me to be angry, and we would have ran away from home together. At that time, his heart would not be well, and he would come out wearing a coat to look for me on a winter's night.

Fang Wu took a deep breath: "You guys still have this story?"

I smiled and nodded.

"He walked in. Everyone who recognized his face was looking at him from afar, who doesn't know that Mu Huainan is mixed in black and white, and the head of the gang here is a delinquent. No one dares to offend him." "I wouldn't go home with him," I said, "so he just ordered a bottle of whiskey. He's too sick to drink, and he ordered a box of cigarettes, and he said he'd drink with me if I didn't go home."

I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about that time.

"He came to a bar in a noisy and noisy environment with the smell of tobacco and alcohol everywhere. I still remember that time when his lips were very unsightly and he wanted to drink with me. I felt bad for him, but I was rebellious and didn't want to admit it. I didn't want to go out and take his car, so I walked into the dormitory by myself at night and he just followed me. He didn't even drive. He wore just a little bit. The next day he felt cold all over. "

After finishing my cigarette, I threw the butt of my cigarette and stomped it out on the ground. "After that time, I didn't dare to mess around anymore." I laughed, but there was helplessness in my laughter: "Fang Wu, you only know how ruthless he is, but not how crafty he is. He has never been softhearted towards things he doesn't like, always being ruthless, but once something he wants is confirmed, the other party will no longer be able to escape. He will willingly jump into his trap, and I will just fall into his pit, deeper and deeper into it, and deeper and deeper into it. "
