He had a crush on him for 12 years and divorced

"Can you adopt me?"

Since they talked about when to adopt a child when they first got married, they haven't talked specifically about it until now.Talking about it while watching a movie the night before, Tan Zheng brought it up, and Ren Zhaoyuan agreed, and then the atmosphere was busy with other things, so he couldn't separate his mind to talk more.

There was no discussion about adopting one or two children.

But Ren Zhaoyuan answered simply, without a moment's hesitation.

The two have been together for so long, and Ren Zhaoyuan rarely decides on matters related to each other without asking Tan Zheng's opinion, and every rare "arbitrary act" makes Tan Zheng's heart move.

Tan Zheng is indeed more inclined to have only one child, but if Ren Zhaoyuan thinks two are good, he won't think it's a big deal.

After all, so many years have passed, he has achieved the most complete consummation with Ren Zhaoyuan, and the others are not important anymore.Besides, he has experienced it himself. If he really has two children, he will try his best to be impartial and not let what he experienced when he was a child reappear on his children.

But Ren Zhaoyuan cared more than him.

So there is no need to discuss, no hesitation.

They only want one child, as Tan Zheng hoped when he was young.

Tan Zheng said last night that he would adopt "tomorrow" just to talk about it, but it is not that simple to implement it.

Marriage certificate, credit reference certificate, real estate certificate, no crime certificate, medical examination certificate...all the required materials are ready, and the two go to the relevant department to register the information of their willingness to adopt.

After considering all aspects, it was decided to adopt a boy between six months and two years old.

Wen Gu's little baby girl is cute and soft, both of them like it, but it's more convenient for the two of them to raise a boy.If it is a girl, when they grow up to puberty, the two of them will inevitably not be able to cover everything in terms of physical, psychological and sexual education.

During the chat, Tan's mother said that it would be fine if they adopted a little girl and they would take care of them. With Tan Xuqing around, she was not afraid of the girl's loneliness.

But Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan wanted to raise them together and do it by themselves.

They know best how important parents are to their children.

In terms of age, Tan's father and Tan's mother have discussed the best range for a long time. Newborn babies are too young, and older children have to know people and remember things, and it is not so easy to get close to them.

Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng didn't think much about it, but their parents agreed after thinking about it and making sense.

The day I went to the orphanage happened to be the beginning of autumn, the high temperature had not dissipated, the coolness began to rise, and the sky was very blue.

The dean was waiting outside the courtyard early and took them in.

"It takes a few more steps on this road, but it's shaded by the trees," the dean introduced as he walked, "This is the entertainment area, and this is the children's small orchard..."

The dean stopped talking, and shouted: "Hey! What are you doing!"

Several children rushed away, and in just a few seconds, they ran away without a trace, leaving only a lot of green or yellow tomatoes and a boy who was pushed and fell down.

The boy looked six or seven years old, and his fat black short-sleeved and shorts were stained with dirt. When he heard the voice, he glanced in this direction and then retracted. He didn't rush away like other children. Pick up the tomato.

His clothes had no pockets, and he stretched the hem of his short sleeves to form a cloth pocket.

"It's not ripe yet, why pick it?" The appearance of such a scene in front of the visitors will always affect the image of the orphanage. The dean frowned and urged the boy to leave, "It's not red or delicious, don't pick it up and go back quickly, it won't be there in a while Art class?"

The boy didn't respond, and the dean stopped before he could urge him again—Ren Zhaoyuan bent over to pick up the three small tomatoes that had rolled nearby, walked up to the boy and squatted down, and handed them out.

The three small tomatoes couldn't fill the palm of Ren Zhaoyuan's hands, but the boy couldn't hold them with one hand, so he had to take them from Ren Zhaoyuan's hands one by one into the cloth pockets that were stretched out.

It took a little longer to put the last small tomato in, and when I came out, I took a small orange-red tomato in my hand. It was plump and not broken. It was the brightest among the small tomatoes that were mostly green and yellow.

Ren Zhaoyuan looked at the little tomato in front of him and smiled slightly: "Give it to me?"

It was an ordinary question, but the boy faltered with his eyes flickering.

The person in front of him smiled so beautifully, all the dignity was replaced by gentleness, like all the sunlight leaking from the branches and leaves fell on him, soft and bright.

That was indeed what he picked out and wanted to give him, but being asked like this, it was as if what he was holding in his hand was not an ordinary tomato, but a very valuable gift.

"Well," the boy stretched out his hand again, paused for a while to imitate Ren Zhaoyuan's words, "for you."

Ren Zhaoyuan took the usual but not casual action, and then held the little tomato in his palm: "Thank you."

Seeing that Tan Zheng didn't intend to stop or urge, the dean didn't say anything more, until Tan Zheng asked if the boy was in the range of adoption, and then the dean whispered: "Xiao Jiu meets the requirements for adoption, but the situation is a bit special. .”

"Ah."

This is a meaning that can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences. After all, the distance between the boy and the boy is not too far, so it's not suitable to talk too much.

Tan Zheng didn't ask any more questions, but only looked at Ren Zhaoyuan.

The turmeric wall, the emerald green holly, the tall and straight sycamore, and two figures, one big and one small squatting face to face, are like a warm and lively watercolor painting.

Tan Zheng's eyes were filled with bottomless depths, if they looked at each other at this second, anyone would drown in it.

Ren Zhaoyuan wiped the dust off the boy's face with a handkerchief, and asked gently if he was injured, just like many years ago.

Countless people have been changed in appearance and temperament by time, only he remains the same in the endless years.

"Why did you take off the blue one?"

"I planted this." The boy looked down at the dozens of small tomatoes piled together. "If you don't pick them, they won't be mine."

"Did someone bully you?"

The boy didn't answer right away this time, instead he looked straight at Ren Zhaoyuan with a small tomato in one hand and a handkerchief in the other, and asked, "Are you here to adopt a child?"

Ren Zhaoyuan said "yes".

The boy clenched his hand holding the handkerchief a lot, and his black and white eyes still looked at Ren Zhaoyuan without flickering. After a few seconds, he seemed to muster up the courage to ask him, "Can you adopt me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't agree, nor refused: "My husband and I are in a same-sex marriage, and the matter of adoption needs to be decided after discussion between two people."

The boy looked at him and nodded.

The class bell rang, and the dean finally found a suitable opportunity in the silent atmosphere to urge: "Xiao Jiu, it's time to go to class."

Ren Zhaoyuan helped the boy stand up, and smiled at him: "Go."

The boy turned around and back, looked up at Ren Zhaoyuan: "If it doesn't work, can you tell me?"

"Okay, you go to class first, no matter what the final decision is, I will tell you personally."

The boy's surname is Qi, so he is called Qi Jiu. The day the name was registered was number nine, and his parents didn't even use the homonym, so they directly named him nine.

"Xiaojiu is seven years old this year. He came to the orphanage two years ago. I came here only a few days after the old director retired. I don't know much about it."

"He is very healthy. In fact, many people in the orphanage are willing to adopt children who are healthy and healthy. However, his parents died in a car accident, and he was the only survivor in a family of three. Many people are jealous of this. In addition, he does not like to talk. He has a bad personality and has never been taken away."

The dean knew that both of them had donated money to the hospital before, so he sincerely suggested: "Xiao Jiu is not soft-tempered, and he is not close to others. In fact, it is better to adopt other children. There are children in the hospital that meet the adoption intentions in the two application forms. , Several companies have heard the news and come to ask, how about I take you to have a look?"

Tan Zheng held a few sheets of information about the boy in his hand, and took out a page to Ren Zhaoyuan.

"Ok?"

Tan Zheng pointed to the birthday column.

1 month 10 day.

Ren Zhaoyuan saw the date along Tan Zheng's fingertips, and smiled slightly.

The day they met was a coincidence.

Qi Jiu was outside the door when it was opened, the dean didn't expect him to be there, and Qi Jiu didn't expect the door to open suddenly.

As soon as he came over, he heard the new dean said that he would take the two to see a better child, and he was holding his breath to listen to their answers, when the door opened.

"get out of class is not over yet," the dean took out his mobile phone to check the time, "you skipped class again?"

Qi Jiu held Ren Zhaoyuan's handkerchief in his hand, looked at Ren Zhaoyuan who was behind the dean, looked away, and said in a low voice, "I'll return the things."

Ren Zhaoyuan came from behind, and the dean stepped aside to look back at Tan Zheng, and after getting the signal, he left to go through the formalities for them.

"What's the matter?" Ren Zhaoyuan bent over and picked out the small scraps of paper in his hair, "You want to return the handkerchief to me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan told him when he was outside just now.

Qi Jiu shook his head, and unfolded the handkerchief for him to see.

Inside is a gold burnt blue ring. The body of the ring is mostly made of thin chains, which are light and soft. If you don't open it and see it, it's hard to detect when you just hold it in your hand.

It was only then that Ren Zhaoyuan remembered that he hadn't taken out the new ring wrapped in his handkerchief. Recently, there were a lot of trivial things, so he just put it away and forgot it.

"Thank you, it's a good thing you found out, otherwise I don't know how long I'll have to look for it when I think about it."

Ren Zhaoyuan paused slightly after picking up the ring from the handkerchief, Tan Zheng stretched out his hand beside him: "Give it to me."

Sometimes Tan Zheng would wrap his accessories in a tissue or handkerchief and put them in his pocket when conditions were insufficient, but he never threw them away.

"uncle.."

This was the first time Qi Jiu called him that.

Ren Zhaoyuan's heart softened, and before agreeing to Qi Jiu, he raised his hand to hold Qi Jiu's left index finger.

"I'm obedient, study hard, pay attention to hygiene, be polite, and don't fight with others. There is a rule in the courtyard that you can retire for half a year if you think it's not suitable. Can you adopt me for a try?" Qi Jiu looked up at him, and got up together. Shui Yi's eyes are a little round, she looks cute and pitiful, "If you want to adopt other children, I can help take care of them."

Ren Zhaoyuan was taken aback by what he said on the phone, exchanged glances with Tan Zheng, touched his head, knelt down, and said in a gentler voice than usual, "We only adopted you, and we were going to tell you just now."

Qi Jiu's eyes widened in an instant, full of disbelief and unconcealable surprise: "Really?!"

His overjoy was so contagious, Ren Zhaoyuan smiled: "Really, we will go through the formalities in a while."

Qi Jiu rushed over and hugged Ren Zhaoyuan suddenly, trying to wrap his thin arms around Ren Zhaoyuan's shoulders, and refused to let go after hugging for a long time, finally said in a muffled voice, "Can I call you Dad?"

Ren Zhaoyuan looked up at Tan Zheng in surprise, worried that Qi Jiuduo thought it was an accident and didn't delay his answer, so he patted him on the back and said "yes".

"Father!" Qi Jiu straightened up, showing his small white teeth in a smile, completely gone from the depression before.

Tan Zheng looked down and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Face-changing is very skilled.

Almost caught up with him.
