On the white drawing paper, there are several well-proportioned human models.

Some of them are already painted on their clothes, and some are only half painted.

Zhiman was painting a new human model, because of Lu Chaochao's exclamation, the brush flicked, and the painting was directly off.

She turned her head in fright and tried to run away, but because the only way out was blocked, she could only stand there helpless.

Seeing this, Lu Chaochao hurriedly slowed down his tone, "I'm sorry to bother you, Zhiman." ”

Zhiman hugged the pictorial tightly to her chest, lowered her head, her feet moved restlessly, and her voice was like a mosquito fly, "No...... Relationship....... ”

Lu Chaochao was stunned.

This was the first time she had heard Zhiman's voice, and the voice was somewhat unexpected.

It's the kind of very light milk sound, like the voice of a three- or four-year-old girl.

Lu Chaochao wanted to touch her head, but finally put down his hand, and his voice became softer and softer, "Zhiman, you are so beautiful in painting." ”

I thought I wouldn't get another response, but I didn't expect Zhiman to nod her head invisibly.

And just when Lu Chaochao thought that was all there was to it, she said another word.

"Mom...... Mom, too...... What do you say......"

Perhaps because she doesn't speak often, she speaks a little incoherently.

Lu Chaochao waited for a long time, but didn't hear anything else.

But whatever the reason, this girl, who seemed a little cautious, rarely said these two words on the day she was leaving, which was enough to make her happy.

"Well, moms are right. Zhiman's paintings are very beautiful, have you ever thought about developing in this direction in the future?"

The atmosphere of Aixin Welfare Home is very good, and the children's growth is simple and happy, but the experience has always affected them.

By the age of eight or nine, many children have already begun to think about the way forward.

Zhiman raised her head and quickly looked at Lu Chaochao, then lowered her head again, "Sister Chaochao......"

Sister Chaochao, not Sister Rabbit.

Lu Chaochao looked at her with a smile, "Huh?"

"My dad and mom are designers...... Zhiman's voice was softer, but it was much smoother than just now, "Five years ago, they were in a plane crash while going abroad......

Lu Chaochao felt that his eyes were a little dry.

There is nothing wrong with the children growing up happy, but their experiences are different.

or abandoned, or both parents died, and some were abducted and rescued......

Lu Chaochao saw it when he was helping to sort out the children's personal files, and it was shocking, and it took a long time to slow down.

Zhiman's experience is not unique, and there are several children like this.

But it's one thing to look at the file, it's another thing to hear it from the child himself.

Lu Chaochao didn't know what kind of emotions Zhiman's heart should have when he said these words?

Parents are well-known designers, and being born in such a family is a treasure in the palm of their hands, but they completely fell into the clouds because of a plane crash.

In order to compete for property, those relatives got the custody of Zhiman, but they turned their faces and denied the person later, the property inheritance was real, but the custody procedures were fake.

Zhiman's grandmother raised Zhiman with her body and died less than a year ago, after which Zhiman was transferred to Aixin Welfare Home.

"At that time, they were going abroad to attend an exhibition. They wanted to combine fantasy and costumes to build a wonderful world......"

Zhiman raised her head, her eyes bright.

Lu Chaochao suddenly found that this girl's eyes were very similar to a person.

There seems to be a lot of stars hidden inside.

"I don't know why I remember it so clearly...... At that time, they would say to me every day, 'Manman, we're going to give you a wardrobe like a treasure chest, no matter what kind of clothes you can find,' ......"

"Zhiman's parents really love Zhiman. ”

Zhiman bent her lips and became lonely again, "But I don't want that wardrobe, I want them ......"

Lu Chaochao's nose was sour, and he wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak.

Zhiman's emotions recovered again, and she smiled slightly, "My grandmother said that she was in pain at that time, but as long as she saw me, all the unhappiness disappeared...... However, then my grandmother also left...... In the first two years here, I smashed a lot of things, and my moms helped me a lot......

"There are other friends, and I'm glad to meet them......

"But then a lot of people left ......"

Lu Chaochao knew that the "leaving" she was talking about was that those children were adopted.

Children of Zhiman's age are already very unlikely to be adopted, and if there are no accidents, they will stay here until adulthood and then fend for themselves.

Zhiman turned her head to look out of the floor-to-ceiling window, where the children were giggling and playing, "Sister Chaochao, I don't want to leave here......"

Lu Chaochao once asked about Zhiman's situation, and Aunt Osmanthus told her that Zhiman was not only healthy but also intelligent and sensible, and that there had always been people who wanted to adopt her.

But every time she came to see it, Zhiman would always show her irritable side, and the adoption would be over.

Slowly, the mothers knew that Zhiman didn't want to leave this place, so they removed her from the adoption list.

Looking at the girl's starry eyes, Lu Chaochao suddenly wanted to do something for her, "Zhiman, what do you want?"

Zhiman didn't look back, she continued to speak, "After Mom and Dad left, I hated drawing...... When I arrived at the orphanage, every time the teacher taught me how to draw, I always ran far away...... However, I don't know what day it started, so I picked up the paintbrush...... One day, I suddenly realized that I had unconsciously traced the images in my memory, and my parents would draw them every time......"

She turned her head and looked at Lu Chaochao, her eyes were incredibly bright, "Sister Chaochao, you say, is it that my parents have been guarding me, so let me reproduce their achievements bit by bit......"

Lu Chaochao looked at her and nodded seriously, "Zhiman, yes." ”

Zhiman's eyes brightened, and her voice was louder than just now, "Sister Chaochao, do you think so too?"

Lu Chaochao repeated firmly, "Well, Sister Chaochao thinks so too. Your drawings are really, really great!"

Although the pen is still a little immature, some common sense proportions also need to be adjusted.

But for this child who has only learned children's drawing, it is really very good!

Zhiman's talent must have been inherited from her parents, and it may even be higher!

After listening to Lu Chaochao's words, Zhiman laughed, "Sister Chaochao, thank you." ”

Then, Lu Chaochao noticed that she immediately put away her smile.

The little girl seemed to have used up all her strength before, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to the same silence as before.

She lowered her head slightly, clutched the drawing board tightly, and quietly stepped back a few steps between the steps she had just spoken.

Lu Chao's heart shrank.

She didn't want to see those star-like eyes dim!

"Zhiman, let's make a wardrobe like a treasure chest together!"
