Virgin and Rabbit

After that, Duan Nian never dared to leave Tang Mianjin for half a step.

However, Tang Mianjin's bigger sequelae came: nightmares.

One night, Duan Nian was falling asleep, and was awakened by the faint sound of sobbing. He subconsciously looked around, and as expected, he saw Tang Mianjin burst into tears, and was still biting the quilt tightly.

"Mianmian, Mianmian? What's the matter?" Duan Nian wanted to pull the quilt from Tang Mianjin's mouth, but found that he was still asleep, his eyes were tightly closed, and his expression was endlessly painful. Say "Dad" and "Mom".

Duan Nian woke up Tang Mianjin, and the child opened his eyes and cried for Duan Nian to hug him.Duan Nian hugged him into his arms and heard him cry: "Mom and Dad were burned to death..."

Duan Nian's heart ached as if someone was holding him tightly. He wiped away Tang Mianjin's tears and said, "Come with me."

The two children ran into the courtyard at night, and the bodyguard was startled when they saw it. Duan Nian signaled that it was all right, and took Tang Mianjin to sit on the lawn together.

"Look at the stars in the sky," Duan Nian pointed to Tang Mianjin, "do you see the brightest one?"

Tang Mianjin nodded and said, "Are those parents?"

Duan Nian: "No."

Tang Mianjin: "..."

Duan Nian: "I heard from my mother that as long as you eat a thousand of the brightest stars at night, the thing you most expect will happen at twelve o'clock in the morning that night."

"really?"

"You can try." Duan Nian said, gently took his hand, opened the thin palm, and stretched out to the sky.

Tang Mianjin looked at the shining star twinkling between his fingers, he closed his fingers, put them to his mouth, and took a mouthful of "ahhhh".

"Then this is the first star I ate."

"I want Mom and Dad to come back and see me."

Every night, after everyone in the family fell asleep, the two children ran to the courtyard to look at the sky, looking for the brightest star in the sky.It's not that easy to find, sometimes it rains, sometimes it's cloudy, and sometimes the stars just don't show up.A month passed, and Tang Mianjin only ate a dozen stars.

It is impossible for Duan Nian's parents not to notice their actions, but the security in the courtyard is tight, so they let them go.

Tang Mianjin got a small notebook, drew crooked orthographic characters on it, and made a wish when he counted to a thousand.

When No. 15 was drawn, the Tang family came.

It is impossible for Duan Nian to raise Tang Mianjin for the rest of his life. Tang Mianjin will always return to the Tang family and be raised by the people of the Tang family.Except for Tang Mianjin, who was slowly recovering, the three members of the Duan family knew this fact very well.Therefore, when the Tang family came to visit, no one was surprised except Tang Mianjin.

This time the Tang family did not forcefully take Tang Mianjin away. They asked the children in the family to stay with Tang Mianjin for two days, and took him back after Tang Mianjin got used to it.

Duan's father agreed, so a girl named Tang Jundao who was two years older than Duan Nian and a boy named Tang Shenxing stayed at Duan's house.At the beginning, Tang Mianjin was very shy towards two strangers of the same age who showed great enthusiasm for him, and often hid behind Duan Nian.At this time, Nian patted his butt lightly, encouraging him to play with them.

Both Tang Jundao and Tang Shenxing liked their little brother very much.Even if Tang Mianjin didn't take the initiative to find them, they would go over to hold Tang Mianjin's hand affectionately, give him sweet snacks, and let him go with them to observe the insects in the mountains.

At first Tang Mianjin needed Duan Nian to follow him, and after playing for a while, he turned his head to show Duan Nian what he was holding.After boiling it like a frog in warm water for a week, Tang Mianjin's dependence on Duan Nian was significantly reduced. When going out with the two brothers and sisters of the Tang family, he didn't need Duan Nian to follow him, and he could just see it when he came back.

One evening Tang Mianjin went out to play with the two children of the Tang family again, while Duan Nian was attending class in the villa.After the teacher left, he went downstairs and saw that the living room was bustling with activity. Three children were sitting head to head discussing excitedly what they had seen today.They didn't notice that Duan Nian was on the stairs.

Looking down at this scene, Duan Nian felt an impulse for some reason, wanting to rush down and drive the two children out of the house.

He suddenly realized the fact that what Tang Mianjin needed was never himself, he just needed peers who could accompany him.

As soon as Tang Mianjin looked up and saw him, he called out "brother" excitedly, and rushed to him to show him what new insects he had caught today, and he also picked some delicious fruits.

Duan Nian responded to him pretending nothing happened, took the things in his hand with his right hand, and the nails of his left hand were deeply embedded in the flesh of his palm.

On the weekend, the Tang family will take Tang Mianjin away.

What they told Tang Mianjin was to take him to the amusement park and come back at night.Tang Mianjin happily agreed, and Tang Jundao and Tang Shenxing led him into the car.

Tang Mianjin waved to Duan Nian, and Duan Nian also raised his hand and waved to him, smiling.

That night, the yard was quiet, and a certain kid who was usually an asshole was not there, so Duan Nian sat in the room alone and read a book.

He glanced at it twice, but couldn't concentrate no matter what, he threw the book away anxiously, took out a photo album from the bookshelf, opened it slowly, and saw the dry and shaped small flowers sandwiched between them.

There are a lot of Tang Mianjin in the photo album, some were taken by Duan's mother, housekeeper and Duan Nian, and some were taken by Duan Nian himself with a camera.In the first half of the photo, Tang Mianjin is like a small ball, holding hands with Duan Nian, reading together, Duan Nian put him on his lap to teach him how to play the piano, and looking for scarabs in the grass with his little butt pouted; in the second photo, Tang Mianjin gradually turned from a small ball into a little hairy monkey, grinning at the camera, picking mangoes from the tree with Duan Nian on his back, playing the piano by himself, and feeding the unicorn fairy...

There was a thunder outside.

I don't know how the child is adapting at home, he thought boredly, flipping through the photo album, put it aside, and opened another one.

He was drowsy under the warm yellow light, he yawned and packed up the photo album, put it back on the bookshelf, turned off the light and went to bed.He was lying on the bed, waving his arms outstretched, and there was nothing around him.

"Mianmian..."

The boy turned over and slowly fell asleep.

In the summer night, there were thunder and lightning, and the torrential rain poured down.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, instantly illuminating the room as bright as day.Duan Nian suddenly opened his eyes, and heard running and noise in the yard.

He got out of bed and ran downstairs. Duan's mother was wearing a blanket and was sitting in the living room on the phone. He ran to the courtyard. In the blurry world shrouded in heavy rain, he saw the security guard opening the door, a door leaning on the railing. The little figure fell backward on the lawn with a puff.

He rushed over, Tang Mianjin closed his eyes tightly, his pale lips were trembling slightly, and the rain was winding down his pale face.

"Master..." The security guard wanted to come over and pick Tang Mianjin up, but Duan Nian threw off the security guard, hugged Tang Mianjin tightly, and rushed into the house.

Duan's mother saw her son carrying the child in, she stood up quickly and called the aunt at home, and asked her to take Tang Mianjin to the bathroom for a hot bath. hand, said sharply: "I'm with you!"

The aunt turned to look at Duan's mother in a daze, and Duan's mother glanced at her son: "Let him go together."

Duan Nian helped Tang Mianjin take off his wet clothes, took a shower with hot water, ran to the room to find a set of dry clothes for him to put on, then settled him in the room, put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt.

Duan Nian's beating heart slowly calmed down, and he felt his wet pajamas sticking to his body, making him uncomfortable.

"Young master, go take a bath, I'll just come and watch over Mr. Tang," said the auntie.

Duan Nian quickly went into the bathroom and took a shower. When he came out to see, Tang Mianjin was sleeping under the blanket. His pale face was slowly warmed up under the warm blanket, and a little blood was restored.

Duan Nian's face softened, he really wanted to go and hug the baby, but he still wanted to know more, so he went to the living room.

"Mother."

Mother Duan was still sitting in the living room wrapped in a blanket.She took her time, as if she was waiting for Duan Nian to come to her.

"Come on." She patted the sofa beside her.Duan Nian sat on it obediently.

"The Tang family called just now. It seems to be the third lady of their family. She cried and said that Mianmian disappeared. It seems that I was quite happy when I went to the amusement park, but I couldn't cry when I returned to the house..."

"..."

"As a result, the aunt at home just wanted to see if Mianmian was awakened by the thunder, but when she entered, she saw that the person had disappeared, so she opened the window."

Duan Nian clenched his fists: "So he came back here..."

Two emotions hit him at the same time, one was heartache, and the other was happiness that made him feel despicable.In the eyes of children, he is still in the most important position...

But in such a heavy rain, how dangerous is it for him to run back for such a small child?The journey is so long, there are so many variables, and the bad weather adds to the hardships. It is good luck that nothing happens along the way.Duan Nian shook his head, put away the bad feelings of joy in his heart, and planned to go and see how the child was doing.

Mother Duan called him to stop: "Nian Nian."

He turned around: "Huh?"

Mother Duan looked at him for a while, then shook her head: "It's okay, go to bed early."

Duan Nian: "Good night, Mom."

When Duan Nian went upstairs, Tang Mianjin's cheeks were flushed from the heat, and she fell asleep soundly.Afraid that Tang Mianjin would feel cold again, the air conditioner was not turned on in the room, so the auntie helped them turn off the light and went out. Duan Nian climbed into bed and got under the quilt, hugged Tang Mianjin, and closed his eyes.

Since he has been given a choice, and he still chooses himself; then nothing will push him to others this time.
