"What are you thinking?" Zhang Mengting asked softly.

"Nothing!"

"Are you thinking about Shi Shi?" As soon as the words came out, Zhang Mengting regretted it, knowing that Ning Caicheng was uncomfortable with Shi Shi's matter, and she still asked this question, which pot was not opened.

However, this topic is an unavoidable topic.

She didn't want to see Ning Caicheng sullen, but she didn't talk about Shi Shi's words, and she didn't know where to persuade her.

Ning Caicheng was obviously stunned when he heard Zhang Mengting mention Shi Shi's name, he didn't expect Zhang Mengting to ask so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The atmosphere fell silent again, Ning Caicheng did not answer, and Zhang Mengting did not urge.

Originally, she also felt that her question seemed to be abrupt, but seeing that Ning Caicheng didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, she wouldn't ask stupidly anymore.

"I'm afraid we can't be together again."

Of course, Zhang Mengting knew that the "we" that Ning Caicheng said did not refer to her and Ning Caicheng, but to Shi Shi and Ning Caicheng, although Ning Caicheng did not directly answer her question, but she heard a deep sadness from his words.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for the two of them to be together again, Zhang Mengting should feel happy, in that case, she will have the opportunity to be with Ning Caicheng, but after listening to Ning Caicheng's words, her heart is unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Why? Can you tell me about it? ”

"I don't know what to say, I think I'm a failure, I don't know how to cherish, so good girls don't cherish it well! It's all my fault! What's the use of having a lot of power? Why do you have to lose it to know what is precious? ”

This time it was Zhang Mengting's turn and she didn't know what to say.

The boy she likes is expressing her reluctance to another girl in front of her, what else can she say, do you want to encourage him not to give up?

Zhang Mengting asked herself if she couldn't do it.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this," Ning Caicheng also realized that what he said was a little out of place, after all, Zhang Mengting was also very clear about his feelings, "Come, drink!" ”

The sound of the bottles striking is exceptionally clear in the silence of the night.

"It's okay, I asked you!"

"By the way, don't talk about me, it's weird, let's talk about you!" Ning Caicheng took a deep breath and tried to make his tone as relaxed as possible.

"Me? I have nothing to say really. ”

"I'm sorry to say, but I think I don't know much about you, and I haven't heard you talk much about it."

"You just found out! I'm sorry to say that! ”

"Hey, hey! I'm a rough guy, don't mind! When Zhang Mengting said that, Ning Caicheng was even more embarrassed.

Zhang Mengting was just joking, of course she didn't really blame Ning Caicheng for anything, after all, there are not many opportunities for the two to really sit together and talk, most of the time they are a group of people together, and the two are not in the same class, except for Yu Zijiang who is familiar with her, others almost don't know much about her, and it is natural that Ning Caicheng doesn't understand her.

Zhang Mengting didn't regard Ning Caicheng as an outsider, since he asked so, she also talked slowly.

She was born in an ordinary working family, her father worked in the Pingjiang City Library, and after decades of hard work, she can barely be regarded as a middle-level leader. My mother used to work in the library, and when she advocated free love, the two met at work in the unit, and later came together and had a daughter.

Zhang Mengting grew up in the library since she was a child, her father was a college student, and it was very remarkable in that era.

Speaking of which, Zhang Mengting is also an alumnus of her father, because her father graduated from Pingjiang University.

Her mother is still a native of Pingjiang, but her father is a real northerner, because after graduating from university, his job was assigned to the library, so he made a home in Pingjiang.

Zhang Mengting inherited her father's northerner bloodline, her surname was straightforward, and she inherited the grace of her mother's southern woman, who was small and exquisite.

Originally, the family was also free of food and clothing, but because her mother had no establishment, she was forced out of the library, and the seat was vacated to a distant relative of the director back then. Zhang Mengting's parents are honest people, the leader spoke, if you don't leave, you have to go, she didn't have a compilation, so she was naturally fired when she said it.

However, Seon is not blessed.

Zhang Mengting's mother was not discouraged after she lost her job, the southern woman just looked weak, but the stubbornness in her bones was not inferior to the northerners at all. Then the relationship between relatives, Zhang Mengting's mother contracted a newsstand, relying on the tenacity of getting up early and greedy every day, Zhang Mengting also went to help the store after school, and the business of the newsstand was very good.

Now, the small newsstand has developed into a small bookstore, and it has many regular customers, and its income far exceeds that of the old chapter who works in the library.

Although the family is not wealthy, it is considered good among ordinary working families.

When Zhang Mengting said this, her words revealed a strong sense of kinship, which made Ning Caicheng envious.

is such an ordinary family background, which is exactly what Ning Caicheng longs for but can't get.

Even if he can find his biological parents, his lost childhood is destined to be incomplete.

Sometimes Ning Caicheng is also thinking, what if he really finds his biological parents? Except for the little blood connection, he has nothing to do with them.

No affection, no memories.

However, Ning Caicheng will still look for them, even if they are dead, he must know who they are, this is not to get anything to make up for them, but purely to know his origin, otherwise, Ning Caicheng always feels like a duckweed without roots, no matter how far he floats in the ocean, he can't find his own sense of existence.

"By the way, tell me about your parents! I've said it all, it's your turn now! Zhang Mengting said while twisting the cap of the second bottle of Erguotou.

"My parents?" Ning Caicheng was feeling it, but he didn't expect Zhang Mengting to ask like this, "I don't even know where they are......"

"What?" Zhang Mengting obviously didn't expect Ning Caicheng to say this.

Ning Caicheng didn't tell anyone about his life experience, except for Shi Shi, and at this moment, Zhang Mengting's home aroused his yearning and longing for his family, and he didn't mind sharing his life experience with one more person.
