Chapter 216
Jiang Xiaoman was still crying on stage.
The school hall had calmed down, and the flow of people had decreased.
A teacher passed by her, saw her crying sadly, and asked, "Why is Xiaoman crying?"
Jiang Xiaoman wiped her tears and said, "I, I just miss Mom and Dad a little bit."
The teacher had looked at her student files and knew that she had no parents, so she sighed and rubbed her head.
Just as she was about to coax the child, Yu Qingshi came out of nowhere and took away the crying Xiaoman.
The two children sat in the corner, one silent and the other sobbing quietly.
Yu Qingshi asked her, "Would you still cry if I gave you candy?"
There were a thousand possible reasons for her to cry, and there a thousand ways to coax her as well. It was not easy.
Usually, when he couldn’t figure out why she cried, he would ask her directly.
Jiang Xiaoman shook her head, crying and hiccupping, “I’m not a kid anymore. I wouldn’t want candy even if you gave it to me.”
After a pause, she licked her teeth and remembered that it was time for her to grow out of her milk teeth. She felt even sadder and cried, “I don’t want to eat candies anyways. If I eat candies, my teeth would go bad and give me toothaches, and I won’t look good anymore! Wuu wuu wuu, go away, I don’t want to eat candies.”
"Then why are you crying?"
"I just think that my parents don\'t want me. It’s so cruel, I\'m so sad."
Yu Qingshi sighed slowly when he saw tears on her face.
He still remembered how Jiang Xiaoman comforted him when he used to hide under the bed.
She said that not only did she not have a father, she also didn’t have a mother. Grandma also liked to beat her; she was so miserable.
From then on, he felt that no one in the world was more miserable than her.
However, she was always happy. Even when she was beaten by Grandma, she would still be naughty the next day. Of course, she didn’t forget to get him involved. Yu Qingshi thought that she was very strong, so strong that she didn’t take the matter to heart. Unexpectedly, she was still a child.
Yu Qingshi hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hand and hugged her gently to comfort her.
"Don\'t cry." Yu Qingshi said, "If you really want it, I will share my father with you."
Jiang Xiaoman looked at him with eyes hazy from the tears and asked in a low voice, "But then, won\'t you have no father?"
"My father can be my father and your father. Why can\'t he be the father of two people at the same time?"
Jiang Xiaoman thought about it seriously.
After a while, she felt that it made sense.
Mrs. Flower could have two children, Big Flower and Small Flower. So why couldn’t his father be the father of two children?
The logic was similar.
Jiang Xiaoman quickly laughed.
In fact, she had wanted to grab his father a long time ago, but she was embarrassed so she held back.
Since he took the initiative, she would go home and discuss it with Uncle Yu.
Jiang Xiaoman didn’t cry anymore and burst into laughter, "Okay, thank you. Let\'s discuss it next time with your father."
"En!"
Jiang Xiaoman felt that he was really a good person, and gave him a gentle hug.
Yu Qingshi blushed. He touched his ears and covered them.
So shy, so shy.
His face was blushing and his eyes shined when he looked at her. The heat went to his head and he felt like he had a fever.
His cheeks were red, and his ears were also red.
Oh, why was he like this! He didn\'t want to be like this!
But every time, he couldn\'t control it.
Embarrassing, so embarrassing.
Yu Qingshi covered his ears for a long time before cooling down.
After returning home, Jiang Xiaoman went next door and planned to discuss the matter with Yu Wencheng. She had colluded with Yu Qingshi to prepare the words to say.
But Yu Wencheng was not at home.
Recently, he had been getting busier. He already used to leave Yu Qingshi alone at home. Now that Yu Qingshi was older, he became even busier, so much that his feet barely touched the ground.
He kept flying around here and there.
Jiang Xiumei felt that Yu Qingshi was very pitiful, and often called him over for dinner.
Yu Qingshi overcame his fear of the ingredients. It wasn’t easy to find those weird ingredients in the city anyways, so he often went.
The two children were very depressed. They looked at each other and asked, "What should we do?"
"I\'ll ask my uncle, maybe he knows." Jiang Xiaoman thought for a while, and felt that she had to discuss with her grandmother and uncle about adopting a father.
If she just decided it alone, she might get beaten when she went home.
After thinking about that, her intention halved in intensity, and she planned to look at it in the long-term.
Of course, Jiang Xing was also very busy and often did not come home for several days. But there was Jiang Xiumei, and she asked him to come home for dinner as much as he could, unlike Yu Wencheng who almost could not be seen everyday.
"Uncle," Jiang Xiaoman asked him, "Where did Uncle Yu go?"
"I don\'t know, maybe off to a meeting somewhere.”
"Then when will he come back?"
"I do not know."
"Oh."
Xiaoman did not continue asking.
But when it came to meetings, Jiang Xing was very excited.
He bought a brand-new suit today which cost a lot of money, a pair of shiny leather shoes, and he revamped his hairstyle because he was going to attend a seminar-like meeting at the weekend, and he would be speaking as a representative of young entrepreneurs.
Jiang Xing was very happy and had been preparing for this for a long time.
No way around it, he was someone who really loved to look cool.
